Flash :: Unloading Swf From Parent Swf?
Sep 23, 2010
So I loaded a swf into another swf like so
correctURL being my external swf variable
function startLoad(){
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(correctURL.toString());
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
[Code]....
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.UNLOAD, closeAllStreams);
I'm just not having any luck as I can still hear the old sound over the top.
I don't want to access the loaded swf's variables either or i'd just cheat haha.

Simple drag and drop application where mc is dragged out of one parent mc and dropped into another parent mc.All works OK until I added 2 text boxes to the mc's -- one is a non-selectable dynamic text box (a label) which is set by the code, the other is selectable input text that the user can amend.
Finger cursor disappears when user hovers over the section of the mc that contains the text fields (even non-selectable text??) When the user trys to drag the mc by inadvertantly click-dragging anywhere within both text areas it causes this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@2374a381 to flash.display. MovieClip (same error appears for both text boxes)
The input text box may confuse the user - how do they sometimes click to drag and sometimes click to amend? I need to create an overlay area within the mc that is click-detected for the drag? Here's the relevant bits of code:
var itemArray:Array = [
{iname:"police",ititle:"POLICE OFFICER"},
{iname:"insurance_assessor",ititle:"INSURANCE ASSESSOR"},[code].............

[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]

Here is a working script to drag drop a ball from the stage into another target mc:
ball.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ [code]...
It works well but I'm new to AS3 and I am having difficulty amending this script to drag the ball out of a parent mc (instead of the stage) and onto another mc (the target mc). To explain: imagine a ball, a box, a tri, + more shapes all within a scrolling mc (initial parent), the user scrolls to select a shape, then drag-drops onto a target mc on the stage.The scrolling is no problem, but how would you amend the script above so that the ball can start inside a parent mc rather than on the stage itself?

I got a "preloader" that creates an movieclip and loads an SWF. Now in the loaded SWF i want a close button to go back to the "preloader". The preloader isn't an actuall preloader but some sort of mainclip.Now i tried this:removeChild(MovieClip(e.currentTarget).parent.pare nt.parent)But i get error:ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()at MethodInfo-6()

I inherited ,from a previous employee, a flash file and there is a bug which consists of a swf movie not unloading. I have attached the link to the website below. To be specific, after the publications button swf is loaded into the main file, you can never get it to unload fully. If any other buttons are clicked and their swf files are loaded, the buttons for the publications remain in the file ( not visually but the hit area remains). I just need to know how to get them to fully unload.

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'm building a site that has 7 sections. 1 section is a Photo Gallery for which I'm loading an external SWF file that is controlled by an XML file. Im doing this for allowing content editing any time.All of the other content on the site is one-time, no backend required.
I've successfully loaded the external swf file into a loader in one of the frames. However, when I navigate away to the other 6 sections, I'm unable to unload the external SWF loader. How do I go about this?
Here's my code that loads the external SWF in one frame:
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//This creates a new instance of the loader object.
var my_Loader:Loader = new Loader();

so I have 3 swf's that im loading with buttons into the main swf. The thing is that these 3 external swf's have embeded flv's. when switching between the swf's with the buttons, im using vid1loader.unload();the only thing is that while the video switched to the other video like it should, the audio keeps running on any number of videos(swf's) that are loaded. My question is how do you stop the audio when using simple Loader and URLRequest to load the swf's?

I've a got a huge (relatively) problem ni that i've created a Flash app with a dynamic data structure which ends in 150 different nodes.each node (if visited) loads in between 5-10 images and a couple of movies.
The data for each node and its consequent external media are all displayed in the same visual class that is only instantiated once.The display object that contains the jpgs and movies is cleared of all child objects before the next node loaded.
Yet the size of the flash file (according to windows task manager) never shrinks and very soon reaches 1mb in size at which point it starts to chuc badly.[code]...

I'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.
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;

I have tried many approaches to unloading my swf, but to no avail, the video sounds within my laoded swf keep playing even once the swf has been loaded.
I have created a universal loader as follows:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
I then load various swf's into a movie clip named mov_contentLoader, for example the video swf is loaded as follows:
loader.load(new URLRequest("video.swf")); //assign SWF url to loader
mov_contentLoader.addChild(loader); //add loaded content to movi clip
I then have a generic "exit" button, based on the state of the application, certain windows are closed, swf's are unloaded etc. For my video.swf file, when the exit button is clicked, I call the unloadAndStop(); method on the loader as follows:
loader.unloadAndStop(); //unload all content, do some garbage cleanup
mov_contentLoader.removeChildAt(0); //just to be safe, a second layer of reassurance ??
The SWF is unloaded, but for the life of me I can NOT get the sounds to stop! I even resorted to adding stage listeners on the video.swf to listen for an exiting state, but that still did not stop video sounds.
If I load the video.swf in again and play a different video, the two soundtracks play ontop of each other.

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child?
In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.
If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

I am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.

I have a parent swf which loads many child swfs (though only one is displayed at a time). My intention was to use the loaded SWFs document class to retrieve an array of objects to be assigned a tab index, combine this with the parent's own array of objects and apply sequential tab indices to them all. But what happens is actually that the parent's objects are assigned an index, but the external swf is unaffected. In fact, the external swf retains its automatic tab indexing, when I would expect that having set a value for InteractiveObject.tabIndex, automatic tab indexing would be disabled.
I've seen similar tales elsewhere. Most posts I've read are wanting to load an external swf, give it focus and loop through those objects, then close the swf and return to looping through the parent. However I would like loop through all objects as one. including manipulating the focus manager(s), and basically fiddling with every tab-related property I know.

I have been using:
yourbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
function f(e:Event):void{
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("newswf.swf"));
}
which was suggested to me in a different post to target the parent loader class, however i now no longer can reference my preloader in the parent swf (extract from the parent swf):

I cannot use the following in my ActionScript due to conflicts with the host application:
_level0
_root
_parent references
On a pop-up box I have a close button with an absolute reference: closeBtn.onRelease = function{ unloadMovie("_level0.Page_1.holderBox");} Is there another way to make this work without using _level0 or _parent? I've read that it is possible to use a global variable on the main timeline and ref that, but cannot get that to work.

I want to place an object either directly on stage or in some other movieClip but I need to read parent height to align it properly from the bottom.I thought I could use this and it will work for both the stage and the movieClip and I could get away with one line of code:
Code:
trace(parent);
//[Object Stage]
trace(parent.height);
but this doesnt work for stage, I need to use this:
Code:
trace(parent.stageHeight);
which is the same as this: so obviusly I need to ask first whether the parent is the stage, so I can find the height...So what is parent.height actually outputting?

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.[code]Sprite2 is a rectangle. When I rotate it, of course, the height of its parent, SpriteP, GROWS. But I would expect that height to go back to what it should be when I'm removing Sprite2!And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200.

i am slightly confused about the parent and child relationship. lets assume we have several different instances, what would be difference of adding them all as children of the stage and creating a parent-child hierarchy between them(other than the access path).

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.
When Sprite2 is NOT rotated:
Code:
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 250.
SpriteP.removeChild(Sprite2)
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 200. -> works, 200 is good.
When Sprite2 is rotated at 90:

And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200. But if I rotate Sprite2, the Parent won't update its bounds.

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I have a flash file that loads in a external swf. That swf contains a form that I want to control the tab order on. The external swf has form fields in it, and I have their tab indexes set. When I hit tab, flash ignores the flash index, and focuses on some of the navigation elements of the parent .swf. What am I doing wrong?
