Professional :: Loading Components After Loading .fla?
Sep 17, 2010
I've been working on building a flash website for my company and was finally getting somewhere when I encountered a problem I cannot solve. I have it setup so that when you click on an item on the first scene it plays the second scene which is where the customization of the item is to take place. The second scene is where I am encountering the problem. I have seven buttons on the left side of the stage that are on their own separate layer. Everything was working fine until I saved and quit. Now when I bring up the second scene the buttons are all grouped together and uneditable. Also the buttons are extremely small and when I compile the swf file and view the movie all I see is the label of the buttons not the actual buttons themselves. I have tried deleting the button layer completely and redo the layer but every time I add the button component it add the same tiny uneditable button. I am including the errors that I am getting in output when viewing the swf.
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null. at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChildAt() at fl.controls::BaseButton/drawBackground() at fl.controls::LabelButton/draw() at

In my flex application, my custom class AudLogDataGrid has a renderer function that takes a list of data and filters it, before passing it to the renderer:
private function rendererFunction(item:Object, grid:Object):ClassFactory {
var itemRenderer:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(AudActionDropDownIR);
var FilteredAudActionData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(AudActionData.toArray());
[Code].....
However, rendererFunction runs before the data is fully retrieve from the server! Is there any way to get around this without declaring the AudLogDataGrid in AS?

I am working on a previously developed flash files that contain components. My development system has recently changed to Linux and since I have noticed the components aren't loading in firefox 3 (latest player version 10,0,22,87), both files have a slider component and one also has a stepper.The slider doesn't load at all, the stepper shows the number as text which I can edit.Opening the files on Windows XP with the same player version (WIN 10,0,22,87 apart from being on windows) and all was ok. Then I checked Vista (exact same version as XP) and the same issue as with Linux showed.I tried with vista (WIN 9,0,45,0) and everything was ok, I also switched linux back to 9 something and the components loaded correctly.I then wrote a basic test swf with just labels and a slider, this worked on linux with 10,0,22,87.I gather it must be to do with the way the components are dynamically loaded (as we use json to set the component values/options). Has anyone had a similar issue or can notice any issues in the way we are loading the components?
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;[code].........
note: I have shorted the code above and removed some references as it is for a client so I will keep that private, there is also the class that sets up this code so if more info is required I can paste parts of that aswell.

I have a Flash 'application' that is all on one frame and has about 2000 lines of AS 2 code. Works fine if it's all in Frame 1, but when I move everything (that's every layer and all the code) to Frame 3, for example, my menu bar component (which gets its data from xml files) doesn't load the data. I want to be able to do this so as to put a pre-loader on Frame 1 which would jump to Frame 3 when the SWF has fully loaded.

I have a vertical tab-bar with 4 items with different sub tabs. All the four items use data from a single xml file, which is a big file. When the user clicks on a tab, while the data is being loaded this error is shown. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I want to disable all the tabs while the xml file is being loaded.

I have an application written in AS3 that is loading swfs written in AS2. Most of them work fine, except for ones that contain the old AS2 accordion component. Loading one results in it working correctly, but each one that is loaded after it breaks the previous one (the content no longer shows and the mask disappears). It's not just limited to the accordion, any of the AS2 components that came with Flash Pro cause breakage. I've tried loading the swfs to separate movieclips, tried using applicationDomain, tried everything else I can think of. Rewriting the swfs in AS3 is not an option due to circumstances out of my control.

I have a game built and I would like to reduce the loading time to the minimum possible.One of my ideas is to load the essential assets and some lower quality images the first time, leaving the higher quality images and some of the functionality out at first (for instance things like buttons that change the background color), and once the player enters the game, the rest of the functionality and its assets (images and sounds) will be loading in the background using the Loader class.So once the non-essential assets and the high quality images have loaded they will fade in and substitue the lower quality assets in the most subtle way possible.
Also... Would it be better to have various instances of a "Loader" class and try to load everything at once, or load stuff in order with a single instance of the "loader" class listening to the Event.COMPLETE event ?

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?

How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.

Suppose I have 5 links that load different SWF files. I'm loading the first one in the background and I will continue to load the other SWFs once the previous one has completed.Suppose a user clicks link 4 but only SWFs 1 and 2 have been fully loaded and SWF 3 is currently being loaded. Would it be possible to pause loading 3 and skip to part 4 and finish loading that?

I'm building a flash website which uses a google map for a contact section and another one generated via external class for a projects section (for each one of the projects available there will be generated a map and a marker).This website uses SWFAddress and each of the projects receive SWFAddress dynamicaly via xml, pulling in the name of the project.The problem is when I test the website localy, on Flash IDE both the maps are loaded fine, but once I try it online on a webserver just the map on contact section is being loaded.I've tried to use a different key for each other -the contact section map key based on an url.Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is it because I'm using 2 maps on the same website? Is it because the url generated by SWFAddress is too long (I tried to generate a key based on something like URL...

I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?

I have a "loader.swf" after which my "main.swf" loades. I have used a loaderPro v3 (AS2) component. Doing that was easy but then when it starts loading, even before the loading completes the main.swf starts playing in the background. And i have no coding in my actions panel.

I have two xmls, xml1 and xml2. Both have same structure, only data are different. Button 1 loads xml1 and button2 loads xml2. Both calls same function to load XML. First i press button1, so xml1 starts loading, but if before xml1 is completely loaded, i press button2, xml2 also starts loading. If for some reason the xml2 loads first i get data from xml2. But when i look at the bandwidth profiler in flash , xml1 is still loading. When xml1 is loaded it will replace data from xml2. SInce i pressed button2 last, i would want data from xml2. So is it possible to stop loading the previous xml when i start loading another xml?

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?

I have two separate slideshows in my document. The slideshow on frame 1 uses ixia_works.xml, the slideshow on frame 5 uses ixia_windows.xml. wrote all of my slideshow code on frame 1 and created a variable to hold the xml file. On frame 5 I assigned the new value of the variable. The slideshow on frame 1 works perfectly; the slideshow on frame 5 won't even load.
Code on frame 1:

I'm having trouble loading a SWF that contains a FLV movie into another SWF.
Here on its own is the SWF that I want to load:

You'll see that the movie and the controls appear and work properly.
Here is the SWF in to which I want to load it:

If you click the white rectangle at the bottom, it will load comback.swf into Level 1 but the FLV and the controls are missing. (Somtimes the FLV appears w/o the controls.)

I am facing a problem while loading an swf into an mxml application. I have loaded a swf file into my flex application using SWFLoader as below<mx:SWFLoader id="s1" source="dummy.swf" /> This SWF is created using Macromedia Flash 8 instead of Flex. I want to control this externally loaded swf.I am exposing an interface created to control this swf! What i am doing is using System Manager class as follows: public var mySWF:SystemManager;private function initApp():void {mySWF = SystemManager(myLoader.content);} However i am getting the following error: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::AVM1Movie@206ed41 to mx.managers.SystemManager.
Is there any solution to this?

I want to import an external swf file into my page, ive used the standard loadMovieNum as an action on the frame, however when I run the program i found that it interferes with the rest of the page, meaning it goes over the rest of the page. I have a drop down menu, and it means that the text loaded into the counter overlaps the drop down menu, is there any way of making it so that the movie being loaded into the counter does not overlap the rest of the page?

In another function I have the following:
myText.htmlText = pageDetails.text;
Now, if I uncomment the above (and pull out the previous definition of pageDetails), everything works just fine. However, if I leave the comment, it throws the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at DeltaMain/Text() at DeltaMain()
Now, the file pageDetails.xml does exist in the appropriate folder with the following, essentially identical to the above comment:

It works fine, except that sometimes swfs load up, and sometimes they don't. For example, if I hit button 6, the 06.swf loads. but if I hit button 6 after hitting 3 other buttons, SOMETIMES 06.swf loads, other times it doens't and I get an error that relates to the removeChild

Using CS5 AS2.I'm creating a website in flash (all the files will be in one directory/folder on SharePoint) and want to make sure that what seems to be working fine is best practice.I have an index.swf with many buttons which will take the user to landing pages/content/other swfs. On these different buttons I have the script [code]The movie transitions nicely to name.swf and on this page I have a button that returns the user to the index.swf on (release) {loadMovieNum("index.swf", 0);}Things move back to index.swf nicely and user can chose to go to another landing page.It looks like I'm on the right track, bc nothing is going awry? but want to check. Am I following best practices for moving from one swf to another within a website?
