Actionscript3 :: Loading A Swf Named In Xml Into A Parent Swf?
Aug 23, 2010
I have a situation where I use loadvars to load an xml file, which has the address of 2 swf's on the server. I can trace the xml items so know they are loading. So I'm trying to load the swf's but am running into problems. First problem, the swf always gives an error when I publish from flash, "TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null." as it can't find the mention of the xml file, as it's just being published. I'm not sure this affects the next issue which is the swf not loading when I try to load it like this:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest(loadswf1); // where I know loadswf1 = "myswf.swf"
loader.load(defaultSWF);

I've created an amount of MC based on my XMLlist, and each assign with an attribute/ID stated in the XML. I'm now trying to trace back the parent of the assigned MC properties, how could I do that?

i have 20 buttons, and i want to design an external file that holds the coordinates for each named button.
how would i go about this, since the external file would be read as a string by flash?

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

I am doing some testing with various methods of deep linking in a flash site and have created a test site with the following structure:
/index.html
/simple.swf
/two/index.html
three/index.html
The index.html file located at the root of the site loads the simple.swf file using an absolute reference to the file (view the source of [URL]). The index.html file located in directories "two" and "three" are exactly the same as the index.html file in the root directory with the exception that I have added a defined a "base" parameter pointing to "../". [Right now, I am passing the same "flashvars" parameter in each of these files, however, once I resolve this issue, I will change the flashvars value.]
For some reason, the simple.swf file loads in the root level index.html file but not in the index.html file located in directories "two" or "three". I am confused why this is not working since I am using an absolute reference to the file. The only possible meaningful difference I can see is that the simple.swf file is only located in the root directory.

Late night dumb question time:I have an SWF named "gallery.swf" that loads into an empty clip called "holder_mc" in the parent movie. How do I call a function from gallery.swf that replaces gallery.swf with a file called "purchase.swf" in holder_mc? The function I'm using looks like this:
Code:
function ProceedToCart():Void {
_root.mcLoader.loadClip("purchase.swf",_root.holder_mc);

I have a problem with XML data loading into a datagrid when the containing swf is loaded into another swf.
I am able to get this to work in other scenarios, however in this scenario it seems to be related to the menu system I am using. The menu is populated from another external XML and when a button is clicked it calls a function to load the swf containing the datagrid into the parent swf. The URL for the swf to be loaded is accessed from the menu.xml. The result is an empty data grid.
I have tried adding a the datagrid component to the parent swf, however this dows not solve this issue.

So I got two flash movies. A big one and a small one. I want to display the small one into the big one. Additionally I want the ability to resize it, load it at certain frame in the clip and apply some sort of tween/fade in effect to the loaded swf, but first things first.

Embedded some characters using embed tag in flash CS3 (font.swf). 2 separate swf (a.swf,b.swf) loads the font.swf on runtime. These 2 swf are being called from a container (parent) swf. It looks find locally and not time consuming to load. But when I view it from a server, computer lags after a while....
(all file sizes are relatively small.around 160kb)
What needs to be done in order to prevent computer from lagging? Is it better to load font.swf not in separate swf but directly in container(parent).swf?

I have a FLA site built in AS2 that once you get to the home page it plays one song and only one song. If I want to set up so that when the user clicks back to the home page from anywhere else in the site it plays a different random song (there are 8 total).
So in other words when you initially land on the home page it will play Song 1 every time. But when you click back to the home page from anywhere else on the site, it randomly plays the 1 of the 8.
I have it so that Song 1 plays every time initially but I don't know how to set it up in AS2 to have it randomly play songs when you click back to the home page from deeper in the site.

I'm trying to understand how to make referrences from one movie clip to another where one has "loaded" the other. I'm not seeing how to relate the two.keep in mind that I've just gotten comfortable with spittin things up and loading them from external swfs, etc.Lets say that I have a main.swf with a set of 3 buttons(self managed MovieClips actually) that each dynamically load 3 swfs with individual content The first of these sub movie clips(e.g. web.swff) has a set off say 3 thumbnails. I want to be able to have these thumbnails invoke the actions of the 3 buttons up in the main calling movie but I am not clear how to go about calling these functions when they are not in the same scope as the main move. I keep thinking that if I had these thumbnails in a clip within my main.but I still hit this same issue of making a correct reference.This is just a current example. If there is a simpler or better way to explain this kind of communication feel frer to ignore this example or tell me to just go read a tutorial somewhere
// snippet from main.flafunction click_web( e ) { var chl_mc:MovieClip = my_lc.add_content("web.swf");}
function click_motion( e ) { my_lc.add_content("motion.swf");}

I'm getting a bald patch on my head from frustration with the following problem. I have a parent AS3 swf which loads in a AS2 swf like so;
stop();
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(new URLRequest( "as2child.swf"));
addChild(ldr);
contained in the AS2 file is the following script which loads in jpegs when the user clicks the next button, etc.
[Code]...
however when you view the AS2 swf via the AS3 swf it does not seem to load in the jpgs when requested.
I need to retain the AS2 file so cannot rewrite in AS3 as the image loading thing is only a small part of the AS2 file.

I'm currently making a platform game and when the player shoots i want to add the bullets to the stage. The players gun class is in charge of adding bullets. The "players gun" is a child of "players gun holder" which is a child of "player" which is a child of the stage. is there a better or more dynamic way for the "players gun" to add bullets to the stage rather than using parent.parent.parent.addChild (bullet);

I am trying to create a SWC library for use in my Flash AIR project. I have created a seperate FLA called SceneLibrary and followed the steps defined here:[URL]..to create a new SWC component. I saved the created SWC into a lib folder within my Flash Dev project, I then right click on the SWC item in my project window and choose "Add to Library" This all seems to go fine.
In my code i then go import FirstScene (this is auto completed by Flash Dev) It seems a bit weird to me that the path to this class would simply be

I am trying to implement sorting function in c# (I wan to sort the array)
card_codes.sort(function() { return 2 * Math.floor(Math.random()) ? -1 : 1 } );
This is how ActionScript sorts array of integers in script and every time after first sort it starts with 301 but When I try to sort same array in c# it always starts with 101. here is how I sort it in c#
Array.Sort(PlayngCardCodes, (f1, f2) => 0.CompareTo(2 * (int)Math.Floor(rng.NextDouble()) == 0 ? -1 : 1));
how to exactly rewrite actionscript sort to get the same result?

I made a simple project which you paste XML into a TextField and and uses this. It works great however it doesn't keep the original structure which wasn't much of a problem until i recently noticed if i load or copy and paste XML which contain comments like:
<min>0.0</min>
<max>255.0</max>
In the TextField it turns to this:
<min>0.0</min>
//
<max>255.0</max>
Which creates problems as from what i can tell it would then run lines of code it should not. I would prefer if it kept the same text structure as the loading/copy and paste method seems to adjust it for some reason.can you keep the exact same XML text structure with working comments? when the XML is in the TextField it removes this part:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
why does it remove that rather than keeping the text exactly the same? and can i make it keep that or would i have to manually append that text again?

There are dashes in attributes of an xml, and I don't know how to filter them: Here you can see a simple example of the xml:
<posts>
<post>
<photo-url max-width="1280">http://blabla.tumblr.com/photo/98</photo-url>
</post>
</posts>
Because also the photo-url-tag has a dash, I needed to parse it with ...child("photo-url"). This worked fine, but if I want to filter these tags(photo-url), in order to receive all photo-url's with the same attribute: "max-widht='1280'", I couldn't manage to do so. I tried this approach:
var photoUrl:XMLList = xml.posts.post.child("photo-url").(@max-width==1280);
I get this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable @max is not defined.

I have written a Flex Library project - a .swc file - which is supposed to read default configuration from a XML file inside .swc. This .swc file would be used by other modules to perform some operation. I am unable to make the URLLoader to load the XML inside the .swc file.When i run this as a normal Flex project, things work fine without any issue. With swc, it looks bin-debug folder for the XML and not inside .swc. I want the URLLoader to look inside .swc for the config file. How do i achieve this?
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("config.xml"));
For the above code i get the following error:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL:

Having some problems adding the default spark.components.VScrollBar scrollbar. All I'm doing is creating a new VScrollBar, setting it's coordinates, a width and height and doing an addChild but it's not showing up. I'm adding other components too that do show up in the same code so that shouldn't not be the problem.What might I be missing?
var a:VScrollBar = new VScrollBar();
a.x = 100;
a.y = 100;[code].....
