Flash :: Unloading Swfs Loaded With Loader::load()?
Jan 23, 2010I'm using Loader::load() successfully to load swfs into my main swf and then I add them as a child of a Sprite. When other events occur I want to remove the swfs as needed. I have looked at unload() and at removeChildAt() without success.
I only added the addChild() call to try to pin down the loaded instance so I could remove it. The loading works fine without the addChild();
I have also tried publishing to player v.10 and using myLoader.unloadAndStop(); but this has no effect either;
The following demo code shows my problem. I see one child added and one removed but intro.swf is still playing away.

Sep 13, 2010I got this very strange behavior from FlashPlayer debugger 10.1 r82. When I call loader.load method, no ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. But if I open the file and call loader.loadBytes instead, an ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. I suspect the ADDED event is dispatched because the content is being set as the child of Loader object, but why in the other case it is not dispatched?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External SWFs, AddChild(Loader) Versus AddChild(Loader.content), Etc?
Jul 29, 2009I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);

What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Determine If Loader Is Loaded?
Oct 14, 2009I am using the Loader class to load images into a photo gallery. When a user navigates to the next image in the gallery, I need to unload the Loader using the "unload" method and then load the next image.The code for this is simply:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(url...));
My question is if there is someway to determine if a Loader is already loaded? That is, I don't need to unload the Loader if nothing has been loaded so I am wondering if there is some sort of conditional statement I could use to control when the unload method is used.

View 2 RepliesProfessional :: Unable To Debug Swf Loaded With Loader
Feb 4, 2010I am unable to debug a swf (Test.swf) loaded with Loader (from TestLoader.swf) if Test.swf imports a class from another swf (OneLoop.swf).If I set breakpoints in Test.swf, they will not be hit when debugging TestLoader.swf.I have attached a Test.zip file which contains the necessary FLA and AS files to demonstrate the bug. To reproduce the bug.Load up Test.as, OneLoop.fla, Test.fla, and TestLoader.fla.Then put a breakpoint on line 17 of Test.as (removeEventListener)Then Publish OneLoop.fla.Then Debug Movie on Test.fla.You will see that the breakpoint stops at line 17.Then Debug Movie on TestLoader.fla.You will see that the debugger will stop at line 18 (where I throw an Error), but failed to stop at line 17.I'm using CS4 Pro 10.0.2.This problem only occurs when I import a class from the third swf.Does anyone else know how to fix the problem (without removing the imports or merging the FLAs )?
View 6 RepliesActionScript 1/2 :: Loader Not Linking To External Swf Being Loaded
Jul 13, 2010I am trying to make this website, which has separate files for different screen resolutions. I am using a first.swf file to load the right file, depending on the screen resolution, it goes to a different frame for diff resolutions. There I have placed a loadMovie function.The code for the loader follows the loadMovie call. loadingbar is a movieclip on screen, which presently does nothing.[code]This was displaying nothing, so I replaced the _root.loadMovie with mcholder.loadMovie("filename.swf"). This is not working either, the screen flashes for one second and then disappears. I put a stop(); before the code, and the screen remained, but the movie still did not load.I txt1.text shows 100. meaning percentage did reach hundred, but I am guessing that is for first.swf, and not for the file which is being loaded.

Flash - Auto-resize Of Loader And Loaded SWF?
Jun 10, 2011is there a way to set the loaded SWF's height and width to always use 100% of the Loader's height and width? pretty much like when you're embedding a swf to an HTML page... I know that you can do this by setting the width and height of the Loader on every stage resize, but is there another way wherein you can just specify height and width is 100% and then loaded SWF will automatically resize according to stage and Loader's current dimensions?
try loaded a SWF file which has coordinates based listeners and it seems that the loaded SWF doesn't reposition its listeners correctly even if the stage is already resized... take this swf for example [URL] i tried using an SWFLoader in flex which scales the content and also a normal AS3 flash.display.Loader and it seems that both fails to reposition the listeners correctly.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Thumbnail Loader Based On Bytes Loaded?
Jul 23, 2010I have found out that I can not use loaderInfo.getBytesLoaded in as3. I have a gallery located here: [URL]the functionality is almost complete, but my gallery still has issues loading all the thumbnails. It seems that sometimes they wont load while sometimes they do. I have split my thumbnail process into:
LoadThumbs: Loads the thumbs
Callthumbs:Arranges the thumbs
Each function is called once per thumbnail. My problem is that I can not find the bytes loaded information for the thumbnail as it loads. Event completion and preloaders dont seem to help. I doubt it's my alpha tween because the thumbs are un click-able when they are not there. This is the info for my function, with the comments indicating the parts that bring up errors.
Code:
function loadThumbs()
{
x_counter = 0;
y_counter = 0;

How do I get the loaded info of each thumb as it loads? Do i need to make a new class file?
