I'm using BulkLoader to load in images, SWFs, XML, etc into a game. When working local, the content property on the LoadingItem is always good depending on the type of asset: Bitmap if it's an image, MovieClip if it's a SWF etc. When I test the same swf, but under localhost, or online, the content property is always a Loader object. Is this normal? Am I missing out a parameter or something?
View 1 Repliesi am loading some external swfs with the bulkloader. The strange thing, they start playing in the background ( i can hear the sound) without even having added them to the stage.
Here is my code:

public function init():void

bLoader = new BulkLoader("bLoader");

If you specify anchors in frames of the flash movie, IE browser will change hash in address bar while playing it.

Is there any method to disable this navigation using only HTML & JS?

I am working on an flash project that requires that I load several XML files off the internet and this seems to be working great. Also, I am wanting to load the html code of a webpage into a string variable and I can not seem to figure out how to do this. loadText = new LoadVars(); cant get this to work because the html source code doesnt start out with 'code=' or something like that. Cant seem to convert it to a string and the only real result i get is a jarbled mess.
loadText = new XML(); This too does not seem to work. Results in only minimal parts of the html page being shown. Leaves out HUGE sections when compared to 'View Source' in browser on same page. I need info from the parts left out. getURL([URL], fileLoaded); I had thought that GetURL might do the job, but all I seem to get it to do is pop open the link instead of retrieving the link html and putting it in a variable.

How could it be a SWF is not loading in internet explorer chrome on windows but works fine on firefox and safari on osx? I called the file like myhomepage.fr/videoplayer.swf
Does this direct all of swf is non supported on IE?
At the end of the movie I would like to check if the user is still connected to the Internet (they maybe on an unstable dial-up connection and lost connection). Is there anyway to do that? I mean, is there a way to check if a user is connected to the Internet using ActionScript?
View 4 RepliesI have a html paga which loads a flash(flex) swf file. Using https it loads successfully with Chrome, Safari and Firefox, but not with Internet Explorer.Another page, a simple aspx page, does load in Internet Explorer using https (and no flash in it).Haven't found anything so far on the internet to solve this... Anyone?UPDATE: When I right click on the white screen, 'About Adobe Flash Player 10...' appears... so Flash is loaded. Also, in Charles (http sniffer tool) I can see that the swf is loaded over the network.
So, apparently, Flash Player is running inside my html page, the swf is loaded over the internet but the swf is not displayed in internet explorer browser... Very strange. How can I debug this further to see what the problem is?Meanwhile, in the left down corner, IE keeps on saying: 'Waiting for https://....In all other browsers it works like a charm.You can see that IE shows a Certificate Error, but that's also the case in other browsers. I already clicked on Certificate Error to install the Certificate, but with no success.
I'm using bulkLoader to load an mp3 and an flv using their simple-example.as
It works fine if I make the SimpleExampleMain the file's class, loads sound and video and plays them both when they're finished. However, if I DON'T make it the class and just use:
Code:
var se:SimpleExampleMain=new SimpleExampleMain();
it loads both, plays the audio fine, but doesn't show the video?? It says that it's loaded, but it doesn't show anything. NOTHING is different except it's not the file Class...
Here's the SimpleExampleMain.as:

package{

i'm working on a project that uses a lot of external files (sounds, videos...)So I decided to use the class Bulkloader to load my items.
First item I try to load : i'm stuck.The item (a flv) is loaded, but is not playing once the COMPLETE event is fired.All the code above is in the first frame of my flash. (I don't like to work with external classes).
Code:
import br.com.stimuli.loading.BulkLoader;
import br.com.stimuli.loading.BulkProgressEvent;
import flash.events.*;

The 'loaded' string IS traced so everything works fine until that.Seems it is the resume() function (or something else ?) that do not work.
I'm having a little issue during my project, cause I can't use those "normal" preloaders. The problem is that I have all the website-graphics in the library, export in frame 1 (because I don't have any more frames than that, everything is done by actionscript), so I need some magic trick to show the loading bar, while loading, though everything is in the library... I tried this one here, to load my stuff from another swf :[URL] BUT... it gave me this little error here:

I'm having a particularly frustrating issue with the BulkLoader API [url] that I thought perhaps someone here might be able to help resolve. What I'm trying to do, is to capture the metadata from a loaded .flv (through Bulkloader) so that I can check its duration. In all my efforts to facilitate this, Bulkloader either misfires once the video has loaded and/or returns null. For the sake of preventing redundancy, here is what I've tried/checked so far...
-I've pulled the metadata of my video(s) through a simple custom net connection... so it is there, and I can grab the duration this way. However, in this particular case, I need the data from BulkLoader.
-I've encoded/re-encoded the video(s), and have also injected custom data. Still no luck.
-I've changed the loading parameter "pausedAtStart" to true, as suggested, and have used netStream.seek() to jump to later frames or back to the first.
Needless to say, this is a very frustrating issue that I just can't seem to find a way around. Here is a link to my source files w/Bulkloader library: [url].
Here is a look at the code:

I'm currently using BulkLoader to load in swfs as MovieClips. What I'm trying to do though is duplicate the loaded movieclips and attach them to other clips?
I seen something that senocular posted about creating duplicates of display objects in AS3 but it didn't seem to work with BulkLoader and swfs?
Is there other ways to duplicate loaded movieclips?
I have a bit of an elaborate loading setup I have written asa reusable framework. Right now I have this one kink in it that Ican't get passed.I have class HeatmapComponentController which is a simpleclass extending another class BaseCompoentController.HeatmapComponentController is the DocumentClass of another moviecalled heatmap_component.swf. After my BulkLoader's COMPLETE eventis fired (having fully loaded the swf) I try to use theLoadingItem.content as a BaseComponentController... like so...
private function _onLoadComplete($evt:Event) {
var _baseComponentController:BaseComponentController =
loadingItem.item.content as BaseComponentController;

Anyone have any experience with bulk-loader for multiple files? Its great for preloading single files, but I am now trying to preload essentially a folder of images. The images have different names (and will change over time), so I can't just create a for loop to preload for example 'image01' then 'image02' etc. They are referenced via XML however, and I'm wondering how I could loop through those, and use bulk-loader to retrieve these...? Essentially I'm confused about integrating XML nodes with bulk-loader, and then also about how to do it with multiple images...?
View 1 RepliesMy problem maybe a development problem is that i've a preloader file.This preloader with bulkloader load and external swf that is the index file.Now because of i'm using the preloader every stage reference in the index class like stage.stageWidth will generate a #1009 error. So my question is how can i access to the an index class function so that when the preloader's stage will resize some index sprites must will assume the new width of the stage?
View 0 RepliesI'm using BulkLoader as my main loading class for the project I'm working on. I would like to know how to set the name of a MovieClip that has been loaded with BulkLoader. Here's an example of my problem:The error I get is as follows:Code: Select allError: Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified.I have tried to set the name of the movieclip before I load set it to the swf that was loaded with BulkLoader, like this:Code: Select allvar random:MovieClip = new MovieClip();random.name = "random";random = _bulkLoader. getMovieClip ("randomSwf. swf");However, this results in the name property being changed to the random instance name that flash assigns it when it gets loaded in.So my question is, is there any way I can change the .name property of the movieclip that is loaded in with BulkLoader, so I can get access to it through the getChildByName() method?

I am making a input field for keywords, and while the users writing I'm displaying suggestions for keyword on a list underneath the caret position.The input field is single line, so I am using the arrow up/down key to select a suggestion and Enter to insert it.And it's mostly working, with the big exception that the up/down key also changes the caret position to the begining/ending of the TextField.
I've tried using preventDefault() and stopImmediatePropagation() in the KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event listener that I also use to change the selected suggestion, but that does not change anything.I checked the carret has not yet moved when KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event is fired, bu visually I can see that it is being move before key is released (key up).
I am trying to load external SWFs in my Adobe AIR App. The loaded SWF is trying to access an URL to retrieve some informations via XML. When starting the SWF by itself it works fine. When loading the SWF from the File.applicationStorageDirectory i will get an Security-Error because the loaded App is executed in a local-with-filesystem Sandbox appareantly. First Question: Is there a way to change this? That the loaded SWF is running in a network Sandbox?
Since that first attempt didn't worked i've moved the SWF to the app:// directory.Now i'll get a Security-Error because there is no policy file on the Server available where the XML data should be retrieved. Second Question: Why is the policy file not necessary when running the SWF by itself, but is necessary when trying to load the data from the application Sandbox? What am i doing wrong?
I've faced such situation. I've used to program in C#, and such code:
[Code]...
was asking both, condition1 and condition2 to be true (the case when they both are giving false and the end-result is true, could be achieved in other way). In Flex, same code would perform "some actions" if the both conditions are false. I just was wondering if is there any chance to make it break after finding first false in a queue, or I have no choice and should write nested if's?
