Flash :: Smooth Transitions Between External Swfs
Aug 25, 2011
what I want and currently have is a main swf that loads in assets based on buttons pressed. I have 3 external SWFs (for the sake of this example, lets call the initial loaded swf "indexExt.swf", file two" f02.swf" and file three, " f03.swf") and in each of them,there's one layer that goes from frame 1 to frame 10. On frame 1, there's an "intro" label, on frame 5, an "outro" label, and on frame 10, an " end" label.
indexExt.swf is loaded on initial load of the main swf. as for my buttons, I gave my buttons on the main swf stage, instance names that are the same name as the external swfs so that with this line event.target.name + ".swf" I can call em in without having to re-write code for every button etc..

[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.

I would like the buttons to be in the same external SWF so I can animate them as well, the problem is I can't seem to get the actionscript to work, here's what mine looks like:
PHP Code:
container.button01.onPress = function() {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "home";
_root.container.loadMovie("home.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "home") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "home";
container.play();
}}}
And I've also tried using
PHP Code:
this._lockroot = true;
In the external SWFs but that didn't work either.

I recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.

Ive read the transitions tutorial and understand how that works, however, the site that I am building uses actionscript for its animation rather than timeline effects (for the most part). creating smooth transitions between external swf when the animations are done in actionscript?
Right now in my external .swf I have two frames, the first frame is the intro the second is the outro. The only difference between the two frames is the actionscript is reversed from fading in to fading out (etc.) on the second. There is no midframe per say, it just stops on the first frame because there is a stop(); on it. When the user clicks out of that section it just moves and plays the second frame. This works, however I fear that that method will get me into trouble later on. Is there a better way of doing this?

I read the tutorial about transitions between external swfs and started implementing it! So as a good and ordonate guy that I am, I put the index.html in the root, created a style folder for the style and a folder for the swfs. I was struggling about one hour to find out why it wouldn't work, to find out that if I move the html inside with the swfs, being in the same directory, it worked fine!

I am using this scripting for my website. [URL] I have used it on other websites successfully, but the website I'm working on now is a little more complicated and the scripting is not working correctly.
Before I had simple buttons on the root level, but now I have complex rollover buttons in side movieclips playing on the root level. When I go to test the site in Flash 8, it works fine, but then when i publish the files and open it in a browser, it is not loading the external swfs into the main swf. All the files are in the same folder as the main swf and I am not using any other folders. attaching and transitioning of external swfs?

I need help getting my loaded swf files to play the "out" transition before the next movie loads. I have a main swf with 5 buttons (movie clips) that load external swf onto the stage.[code]The loaded swf has a stop() an intro animation and on the last frame have.dispatchEvent(new Event("removeMe", true));

I'm using Flash MX 2004. I have a main file called Main_En.swf, which contains the empty movie clip container (_EN is for English, because I'll have multiple languages eventually). Upon loading, Main_En.swf calls Welcome_EN.swf into the container. So far, no problems.
Main_EN.swf contains a movie clip symbol named "navigation," inside which are the buttons that will call the other swfs (Links_EN.swf, Stories_EN.swf, etc.). That's the rub: The swfs won't load. I thought maybe it was because of the individual swf's pre-loader code (also made from one of Kirupa.com's tutorial) but I tried without it and the movies still failed to load.
Here is the Action Script associated with one of the buttons.
//Loads movie
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "Links_EN";
container.loadMovie("Links_EN.swf");
[Code] ....
This code is at the midframe:
stop();
And this code is on the last frame:
_root.container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf")

i've used an empty moveclip and loaded external swfs into it using buttons. Each of the swfs has an intro and outro and uses the transition action script from the tutorial on this website. When I navigate through the site on my computer the transitions work fine, but when I go to the actual uploaded site none of the movies load up. All of the swfs are in the same folder on the site so surely I only need the "the_name.swf" as the path.

I have just completed the "Transitions Between External SWFs" tutorial and I'm now I'm at the stage of altering a few things in there to suit my needs. But I've run into a problem... For my buttons, instead of "Button" symbols, I want to use "Movie Clip" symbols - reason being is that I've got some specially animated Movie Clip buttons that I wish to use.
To get this... err "working"... with my Movie Clip buttons I have needed to use "_root." when referencing to the container Movie Clip. Now that works to an extent, but for some reason each button plays only "red.swf" even when there is no mention of it in the ActionScript and is instructed to play "blue" for example ("red.swf" happens to be the first appearing movie). Normal method with Button - works fine!
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "red";
container.loadMovie("

i followed the tutorial by Voetsjoeba about Transitions between external swfs. i applied it to my own .fla and am having fair success. the problem i'm having is that the buttons work and transition correctly, but every button reloads the same external .swf. i can't find whats keeping each button from loading its external file. if i switch the external file that loads first. then all buttons load that clip.
my main stage has an embedded movie clip called mc_opening. the container is on frame 25 until the end. an animation runs until frame 64 where this code is placed.

I'm trying to get the script where you can make transitions between external .SWF's. Anyway, the Container movie is on the main timeline, however the button is inside of a movie that's on the main timeline. I read this on the site - "If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. In this example the buttons are located on the main timeline, therefore 'container' targets the container movieclip correctly. Though, if they are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path." How do I change the path to work?

I read the tutorial about timelime transitions between external swfs and it works perfectly on in flash but when loaded on the web it doesnt work at all.
Was wondering why this is.
I embedded the button code from the tutorial in my script for the xml menu I am using and it works in flash flawlessly but when I push it to the web on my server it doesnt work at all.

right direction but theres still something I'm missing.At this point, I am able to load the initial swf into a container MC and store that info into acurMovie variable. When another button is pressed, curMovi checks if it equals event.target.name, if it doesn't equal "curMovie", it plays the existing movies outro What I thought I could do was create a conditional statement checking if the outro has reached the total frames, and if so, load the next swf. This isnï workingThis is what I have so far:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
//Load initial file

I am having difficulty making the buttons of the 3rd level load the final set of external swfs and keep doing the smooth transitions they are supposed to, with midframes and outros. Somehow I am messing up the paths. I have several buttons in each level and they all work fine except the very last level.Below are a characteristic string of button AS for each level:
Main timeline:
on (release) {
if (_level0.currMovie == undefined) {
_level0.currMovie = "firm";
menu.loadMovie("firm.swf");
[code]....
All buttons inside assoc.swf are not working. I played around with the paths, but obviously I am missing something very simple and very ellusive about pathing. If I change the path in firm.swf so that _root is _lever0, then THOSE buttons stop working.

I can handle animation but am somehow ignorant about ActionScript as my knowledge of Flash goes back to the Tell target actions...I've been playing around with 2 tutorials I've found on Kirupa (see links below) in order to build a text based navigation:
My first level is made of MC buttons. All working great when adding the script indicated in the first tutorial. From there, I would like to be able to load external SWFs when clicking on one of those first level buttons and in order to do so I added the script from the second tutorial (Transitions Between External SWFs)
Doing so, I was told I could only add that script on button symbols which is unfortunately i not an option at this point. how can I launch external SWFs that would allow transitions from those MC symbols?

I fully understood the smooth transitions tut but I also need to make sub-sections within each section. Do I need to to make a new container mc on the section to pull up the subsection? Must I remove the (_root) to place it on a level? I have the source files to demonstrate what I tried doing. Section 1 has a button that needs to go to "sub_section1.swf".[URL]..
