Flash :: External Swf Doesn't Load Onto A Stage Via UIloader?
Dec 3, 2011
I have a typical logo on the right top corner and a menu bar just above it. Above the menu bar, I have a UIloader in which I load photoalbum.swf when one of the menu buttons is pressed. The problem is that setting the scaleContent property to true doesn't load my external swf.Setting it to false, everything appears as expected, except that the bottom part of my photo album is cut since the scaleContent property set to false (this makes the loaded swf file's size the same as the stage's and as the UIloader begins just above the menu, the bottom part gets cut off).
I'm trying to load an external .swf using UILoader. If the .swf doesn't have any code, it loads fine. But if I add any code, even only comments. It gives me this error.[code]...
I`m using AS3 + CS4, and have a problem. At the main page I have "loader" - UILoader, in which I want to load one of the 2 swfs - it depends of 2 buttons on stage
[Code]...
By default main_ru.swf is loaded, and after I press en_button I can see only a part of main_en.swf, and larger part of main_ru.swf. why?
Having trouble getting this to work. I have a UILoader encased in a Movieclip (there's a semi-transparent background behind the loader). I have this UILoader set via AS3 to load an external SWF.
All this is in the same folder. Basically, I wanted to compartmentalize a website I'm doing of my favorite hobby (Gaming).
It all works...until I add the Fade In/Out Tween. Then the only thing that Fades In is the movieclip; the page does not load and results in this "issue" (not error):
Code: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property name not found on fl.transitions.Tween and there is no default value. at mainSite_fla::MainTimeline/pageOpen() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
[Code]...
I pretty much can guess what the issue is. The page hasn't loaded and thus for some reason the tween prevents the UILoader from pulling in the SWF. But I have no clue what to change to get it to work. If I put the Load part (.load and it's var) inside the FadeIn function then the page loads successfully...only Tween gets "hung" at about 50% fade in. And since this is just the 'main page' that will end up loading all the other pages on top of it. I can't just embed the movieclip I want to tween into this FLA Project; something about a multi-meg website...
Here's the Code of the Tweened Open/Close:
Code: //Tween System var tweenFadeIn:Object; var tweenFadeOut:Object;
I'm having a problem using the loadMovie action, I'm pretty sure I have everything I need, but when I click the button that should load my external SWF on top of my main movie, it doesn't load the external SWF & it just reloads my main movie.
I have a main swf [1] that loads an external swf [2] into it In the external swf [2] there is a movieclip that when pressed loads some information from an XML file when i try the external swf [2] it works fine but when i try it from the main swf [1] it doesnt work
here is the code for the movieclip
i tried putting _root. or this. but that didnt work
I have an swf movie which contains a UILoader (which should load an external swf (star.swf) on click of a button). My problem is that the swf movie will only load the external swf when it is played on the pc on which it was created(with the original flash cs4 files). When the main movie is played on a remote pc, the external swf does not load.
my code is:
Code: invBtn01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showStar1); function showStar1(e:Event):void{ introLoader01.load(new URLRequest("star.swf"));
[code]....
in the frame where I want the swf to display. It still doesn't work on the remote pc - it only works on the pc with the original flash Cs4 files.
I have a flash file that loads an external class. Everything till here works file, now this flash when run loads menu from xml file and when you click one link it gotoAndStop() in a movieclip. In one of the frames I am loading an external movie. This script I took from another tutorial and which run well if I try it in a new flash file but when I put it there and run the file, everything works well except that the movie doesn't load. so I have: MainClass.as which is the default script which loads inside it another as file for the menu. Inside the frame where I want to load the movieclip I have this code:
I have created a swf (exporting) that have action script that adds childs to the stage. When i export the file and see the result it is all ok. But when i use de same file inside a uiloader the action script seems not to work because de childs doenst apeear in the stage.
I'm loading external data from a txt file into a MovieClip. It contains data that is crucial to the presentation viewing. It is necessary to load, not right away but at some point (the sooner the better). When the txt is on the same server it works instantly, but I'm loading data from another server.
Two problems: the onLoad code is stuck if the file doesn't load (connection problem, server down?) and in offline mode what happens if the data is purged out of browsers cache (history problem)?
How can i handle these exceptions?
1. Some code that uses a "timer" to periodically try to load the data again if the connection is slow and the txt doesn't loads the first time?
2. When it doesn't load at all, and the onLoad fails, how can I simulate notOnLoad - exception for data download fail? And retry the dataLoad?
I've already made cross-server data loading possible using crossdomain.xml policy.
The site is still in development. This problem occurred when the server which contains the data.txt was down due to maintenance, and when one of the test-visitors was downloading so much in the background that his connection didn't had enough bandwidth to load data correctly (browser thought he had connection problems).
I have a problem with the Home button. I want to disappear content of the 3 UILoaders components that I have on stage.I try to use the method removeChild(UILoaderName) but it doesn't work. This is my code:
function goStart(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(200); count=1; removeChild(central);
Im trying to get a loader on stage to open external swf files. I have my nav buttons inside of a movieclip but I'm doing something wrong. Here's the code I have on an actionscript layer inside of the nav movieclip
Code:
var home:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Home.swf"); var project:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Projects.swf"); var about:URLRequest = new URLRequest("About.swf"); var contact:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Contact.swf");
All I'm trying to do is load an external .swf file into a precise location on the stage of my existing Flash file. I've spent an hour and a half on this site search and found nothing. What do I add to my loadMovie command to place the file at specific x,y coordinates?
I have several buttons which when clicked should load an external swf to the stage. This is an example of one of my events
[Code].....
Firstly, should I be doing this in every buttons event, or is there a more economical way of doing it? Like will it allow me to make the loader global, and reuse the same loader with each event? Secondly, if I have it like this, and I click a button, an swf will load onto the screen. If I then click another button, another swf will load. Will this second swf sit on top of the first swf? In other words, do I need to check if any other swf's in on the screen before placing a new one, and if there are, should I remove them?
I want to slide in 4 uiloaders on the stage but how can I achieve this? This is the code I've got untilll now. The effect I desire is that the uiloader slides in from the left to right. With the first going on 500 seconds, second 1000 seconds, third 1500 seconds and the fourth on 2000 seconds.

I have made many small swf files for each section of my website. The problem is now I want to club them all together to avoid breaks and showing of the loader at inappropriate moments, I know that was poor planning on my part. I want to know I can place an external swf onto the stage, so that it gets loaded with the main swf. As in, I don't want to call a loadMovie or loadClip
I am preparing a photo gallery containing over 100 HD images, and I don't want any site visitor to wait the whole gallery to load. So I made them loaded from a folder with the help of an xmlList file. With GoForward and GoBackward buttons, I made every picture to load when requested with "addChild" command after removing the previous one. But if the next image is too big the visitor still have to wait the image to load, and another problem is if the visitor makes a few forward or backward moves he/she still have to wait for the very same image to load which is shown moments ago because the image have been unloaded.
Is there a way to load all the external images into library but make them wait in the swf cache until the associated button is clicked. so this way no image will be load twice nor the visitor should have wait.
my UILoader won't allways load its image.I named it "imagem".The source string comes from the buttonīs label.The click function loads simultaneously 3 UILoaders (imagem, imagem_prev and imagem_next and one caption (legenda) consisting of a simple string.Every now and then it doesnīt properly load the images.I have pasted the function for the click EventListener bellow.
function abrir_obra(e:MouseEvent):void{ var theContent:String = e.currentTarget.name var contentArray:Array = theContent.split("_"); index2=contentArray[2]; var alvo:String = e.target.text; var st:String=myArr1[1]; MovieClip(this.parent.parent).gotoAndPlay(31); imagem.visible=true; imagem_prev.visible=true; imagem_next.visible=true;[code].....
do anyone know how to load in an UIloader purely with action script withoud dragging it onto the stage?I have try the following code but it just can not work.
I have a program that plays swf files in the UILoader. The program counts the number of customers that use the program by adding 1 to a variable called customerCount each time a button is pressed. I am trying to design one of the swf files so that it can access and diaplay the accumulated value of customerCount. Can someone help me to find the actionscript code that will let me display the value of customerCount in the swf file.
I have been trying to pick up more as3 lately, also have been converting some of my sites from as2 to as3. In as2 I could create 3 menu buttons and save them in a mc- lets call it menu_mc. This menu_mc sits on my main stage. I have also placed a mc on stage to hold anything that I load. Lets call it holder_mc. So I figured out how to get my email button to work using this:
email_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mailto); function mailto(event:MouseEvent):void { var email:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:myemail@mail.com"); navigateToURL(email, "_blank"); }
That's fine. What I can't for the life of me figure out is understanding how to click on one of my menu buttons and load a swf into my holder_mc on stage. In as2 I could use this code on a button :
on (release) { //load Movie Behavior if(this.my_holder == Number(this.my_holder)){
basically I want to load an external SWF into my flash file, which I can do just fine, but when I load the swf in, it loads EVERYTHING in the swf into the new flash file...What I want is for it ONLY to display the contents on the stage. I work with large images that span way beyond the stage...then I move the images and when I export the swf it looks like a camera zoomed in and tracking around a large image. BUT when I load the swf into another flash file, it just loads it in with no regard to the stage...how do I get it to JUST load what I can see on the stage? here's my current code:
button_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF); import fl.display.ProLoader; var fl_ProLoader:ProLoader;

I am trying to make an interactive book that will have a chapter broken into several paragraphs that will load into dynamic text boxes.
For my first chapter, I have 3 text boxes, in which I have 3 different .txt files being called upon with 3 separate loader(); events It's important that the .txt files are loaded dynamically so the content can be edited easily.
Is there a way to do this with array or classes so I don't need to create and code 10 boxes for each chapter?
I want to load my external SWF file using the following code in "Panel4_mc" instead of on stage. How can I do it" function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
