I used syntax I found here AS3: add event listener to loaded swf
[Code]...
MySWF loads without problem. It doesn't really returns the class mySWF so I wonder if this is really the right syntax. And actually I don't receive anything. I am of course dispatching custom event from mySWF. Flash seems really a nightmare to cope with custom events in practice compared to other platforms.
I'm having problems with this flash project. I have a folder with a swf file and in it you have like 5 Loader components which in their content path directs to perticular pictures in that folder. It works fine offline, you know I open the swf file and you can see the pictures.When I insert this swf file in dreamweaver and upload the site it doesnt work. Yea you can see the swf file, but not the images. In Safari you have this activity window, where you can debug and see what the problem is. Apprently for some odd reason it says that the images are not found, because it's looking in the wrong directory.

I'd like to use in-built DateChooser component in my flash project.
So How do I bind an even handler on selection of any date? let's say I want to display selected date in another dynamic text element.
I have a movieclip that contains two frames, each frame contains a different set of buttons.
it seems that i cannot add the event listeners to buttons that are not in my current viewed frame.
so.. problem one: is there a way to add event listeners to all the elements in the movieclip even if the elements are in a different frame.
problem two: after I added an event listener to some elements in current frame and then I move forward to the next frame and go back to the same frame, all the event listeners are removed and i need to initialize them again. is there a way to resolve the issue without the need to re-initialize the event listeners ?
I have a preloader in the first frame of my movie but when i test it, it takes awhile before anything shows up because the components that i am using in the movie all seem to be added in the first frame even though the actual component is in another frame. Is there any way to get around this?
View 1 RepliesI need to load (dynamically) an image stored in the library of Adobe Flash to the loader component. So far, i have imported this image to the library and exported it to ActionScript under the linkage section. I have named its identifier as well.
I am using ActionScript 2.0.
I have 3 insances of the button component on stage named 2_btn, 3_btn and 4_btn.They all are broadcasters and have been initialized.I want them to broadcast an event and pass a variable along each time they are pressed.[code]
View 1 Repliesi have my main swf that loads different swfs for content.on a portfolio page i have two buttons web and print.by default print loads first.
but lets say someone has entered my portfolio and while print is loading the user clicks on web, the print has not done loading so its even listeners will not be removed causing a clash with my web swf pre loader and letting it work.
Google calendar is available to be embed into a HTML website.. But I have a Flash site.. I want to load that calendar into my site.. It has an option for a button. But would like to have the entire calendar view. Can this be loaded into a dynamic text box or a loader component??? Does anyone have a clue how to do this... Or create a monthly calendar with events.. I can't seem to find one anywhere, I am sure it can be done.. but not very good with AS.
View 1 RepliesI'm loading .JPGs into loaders, setting the alpha of the loaders to .5 and would like to add a ROLL_OVER event to set the alpha to 1 then back to .5 on ROLL_OUT.Here's what I've got so far and it works well.
var ldr1:Loader=new Loader();var url1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("thumbs/1t.jpg");ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done1);ldr1.load(url1);
function done1(event:Event):void{ event.target.content.alpha=.5; event.target.content.x=currentX; //currentX & Y are already set event.target.content.y=currentY; addChild(event.target.content); currentX+=event.target.content.width;}
NOW, I'm trying to add the MouseEvent and can't figure out what to add the listener to - the loader or its content?
ldr1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOn); <<<<--- this doesn't work.
ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOn); <<<<---this doesn't work either.
IŽd like to know what is the rigth way to remove a loader event listener? Like this?
loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressData)loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.INIT, onInit)
I am attaching the video
Code:
this.my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
How can I add a listener like the MovieClipLoader property :
Code:
var oListener:Object = new Object();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mClip",this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.addListener(oListener);//important this is after the MovieClipLoader
oListener.onLoadInit = function(mClip:MovieClip):Void {
trace(mClip+" initialized");
};
mcl.loadClip("[URL]",mClip);
[URL]In this turorial you will see three 3D models turning around in a scene. You can turn the whole scene around with your mouse.Imagine that you replace the models by 2D pictures. It's easy to stop the rotation of the individual models (or 2D pictures).Is it possible to let the models always be pointed with the same side to the front? So if you turn the whole scene around with your mouse, the individual models (2D pictures) will always be with the same side to the front. Just as in a Tag cloud where the text is always readable.

using action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.

I have a listener for the arrow key strokes. When I select my clip the arrows work fine. However, there is also a slider on the stage. If I touch the slider the left and right keys now adjust the slider, this is not desired. How to I prevent the slider from using the keyboard input?

View 3 RepliesBasically, I'm having trouble with depths causing components to display on top of some combobox drop-downs. So basically I made a listener that will listen for focusIn and swap the depth of the combobox to the next highest to bring it to the front when the user clicks on it. No, rather than write a line to apply this listener to each combobox on the stage, is there a way to apply it to the combobox component in general, so it will effect all instances of the combobox component?
So changing this:
ActionScript Code:
var combobox_listener:Object = new Object();
combobox_listener.focusIn = function():Void {
this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
}state_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);
county_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);
city_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);

I am trying to set a listener so that I can respond to an flvComponent when it resizes etc. I am not uses any home made classes. I have stripped the code right down to this, and it still wont work! Have dragged a flvcomponent onto the stage and given it the instance name myVideo.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
myVideo.addEventListener(AutoLayoutEvent.AUTO_LAYOUT, fred);
function fred(e:AutoLayoutEvent){
trace ("hi from fred");
}
when I test I get "type was not found or is not a compile time constant:AutoLayoutEvent". I can do all sorts of processes like changing flv being played, moving it around etc.
Is there a way I can remove the event listener from Listbox component?
I tried to use:
Code:
note_mc.note_lb.removeEventListener("change", myEventListener);
how do I trace that the listener is removed?
If I were to have a list box component on screen which had an event listener to get changes, when navigating away from the current screen, is it a good idea to remove any listeners that exists in that frame? If so, what is the best way to do it.
Is this best practice in clearing up listeners?
The progress bar doesn't work if the .swf movie that's being loaded is being loaded into another movie. If the loader is on the main stage it works fine both in testing and on the internet.For example, I created a parent movie and a child movie with a loader and progressBar. The child movie works perfectly by itself. If I load the child movie into the parent movie the progressBar doesn't work.
View 3 Repliesim working in a galerie of pics and found a problem with the component loader, using firefox everything is ok but with Internet Explorer the first time the galerie loads the thumbs at the left are too small not being resized by the component loader.the galerie is here . note if you refresh the page once the thumbs shows at the correct size.i have the component loader inside an mc , and then to create the thumbs i load dinamically these mc's using attachMovie, every loader has the properties autoload =true,scaleContent =true and the contentPath is defined just after the attachMovie.
View 4 RepliesI have a loader component on my stage that I load 30 or so different external swfs into. Their stages are all exactly the same size as the loader. But one external swf has an image that extents outside it's stage size, AND it is this that gets rescaled (shrinks) when loaded into the loader. How can I fix the size of just this one external swf?

I'm trying to attach a scroll bar to a loader component and it's not working. I don't want to use the scrollpane because its shows the outline around the box. Is it possible to get a UIscrollbar attached to a loader component?
View 8 RepliesI have a flash file for a website section. I inserted a Loader component component to load a .swf file, and set the "scaleContent" property (in the Component Inspector) to True, but the .swf loads tiny, like a thumbnail. I also set the minimum dimensions (400x300), but this seems to have zero effect. I also have the size of the loader component set to 424x350. I have played with both sets of these numbers to no effect.
Here is where I've uploaded the file for testing: [URL] If you click any 1 of the 4 images, it will load 1 of 4 .swf files within (but very small).
Furthermore...the size of the embedded videos is not always consistent. Sometimes, after re-uploading the main file, Some of the 4 videos will be correctly sized, but if visited more than once, they return to being small. Very weird.
P.S. I have attached a screen capture of the Flash program, showing the component inspector and properties.

I have an app which takes data from php - MYSQL, loads into flash and now im just displaying it using attachMovie to use an MC from the library..In this data there is a imageurl stringI want to use the imageurl string as the loader components content path. I have done some tests offline and using something like
Code:
_root.image.contentPath = "images/2.jpg";
Works fine.

The fastforward and rewind buttons on the FLV Playback components don't work like normal ones. If you've tried to use them you'll notice that they respond to a click event rather than a mouse_down event.
By taking apart one of the skins I've found that the fast forward movie clip is forward_mc.
How do I create an event listener for the buttons inside the FLV Playback Component?
If the instance of my FLV Playback component is called "movie," how do I access it? I've tried this, but it doesn't work:

I am creating a photo gallery using the loader component, however some of the jpgs are around 240k so I want to add a custom preloader. The issue I am having trouble with is... how do I set up a preloader that I have made to activate when the loader component loads a new jpg via the myLoader.contentPath = "sample.jpg"???
I am using a sliding thumbnail gallery w/ a static main image behind.
Anyone have a tip for settingup a preloader for the loader? Never had much luck making preloader.
