View 1 RepliesI've been going through online tutorials and so forthand yea I'm still a newb. I have a flash site I'm designing and this is probably a simple answer. I've figured out how to incorporate the external flashes using buttons and loader, please see the script below. The main problem I am having is I want to load my 1.swf file as the main home page. When I load the flash is comes up empty instead of loading the swf file when the flash is first opened. I can use the button to load it back, but how do you get it to appear once the flash is initailly loaded instead of just pulling up a blank page?
Code:
on (release) {
//load Movie Behavior
if(this.home == Number(this.home)){
[code].....
I am trying to create a global function to reuse repetitively. It worked until I moved the function to the external .as file. The problem is with MovieClip(root) and MovieClip(parent). They do not work and cause errors.

If you load an external swf into a movie and this external file references "_root", does "_root" reference the root of the external swf or the swf that contains the external file?
View 3 Repliesi have 2 flash file,one is mine (the main container) and one is a external swf.i want to load the external swf to my container swf.i write this code in my as2 container code inside the main timeline flash (mine flash) -----first of all i add a movie clip with instance name mc1 to the first layer
Code:
mc1._lockroot = true;
mc1.loadMovie("external.swf");
countdown = function(){
[code]....
i really try to use that code - BUT !!! -> if i use this code the external swf predominant my main swf code and all the rest of my code dosent work (like timer of trace)....
I have small issue in as3. I am load "mainmenu.swf" file into "main.swf". through loader class. so now "main.swf" is parent "mainmenu.swf" file children how can call "main.swf " variable & function from "mainmenu.swf" .
View 2 RepliesI have 2 flash files,one is mine (the main container) and one is a external swf.I want to load the external SWF to my container SWF.I write this code in my AS2 container, inside the main timeline flash (mine flash).In the first method, I add a movie clip with instance name mc1 to the first layer:
mc1._lockroot = true;
mc1.loadMovie("external.swf");
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
This code works fine in most of the cases, but I found many SWFs files that it dosen't work with. These SWFs and work with the following code instead:
loadMovieNum("external.swf",0);
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
I really try to use that code - BUT !!! -> if I use this code the external SWF predominant, my main SWF code and all the rest of my code dosen't work (like the setInterval() timer).... I want to load the SWF like the second example and still run the setInterval() function.
Situation:
- We have a Flash application located on a SAP EP (let's say ep.x.com)
- We have a SAP ABAP Application (Webservices) on a SAP WebAS
server (abap.x.com)
- Clarification: This is not about Flash islands / but a normal Flash application communicating with WebAS ABAP via WebServices
Problem: Due to the changed security policy in Flash 10 this scenario does no longer work.
- A crossdomain policy file on root level cannot be deployed on root level
- The WebServices http/s headers cannot be modified, since the WebServices are generated by the WebAS IDE.
Comment: Technically there is a way to patch a WebAS ABAP,but this is not a practical / acceptable way in a normal SAP WebAS infrastructure.
Conclusion:- The above scenario (Flash from EP content / WebAS ABAP as backend) is a quite normal scenario in the SAP world.
- SAP / Adobe always features the close relationship between their technologies.
Question:- What could we do?
- How does the Visual Composer works around that problem?
I have been provided with some flash movies/apps to include in a web design that I am doing. These flash movies load an external xml file.This is failing.The problem appears to be that when the flash movie goes to load the file using a relative directory path, it starts at the very root of the web directory, where the main jsp file is, instead of the where the .swf file is located.[url]...
View 1 RepliesI am making a website and there is an empty SWF that is the base for my site. It loads up an external page called the Home page, in that home page are movie clips that are told to .play() with a _root command. What i wanted to know, was how do i get those buttons to play those movie clips inside of itself.
MAIN EMPTY SWF __
|
HOME PAGE SWF (which is loaded into an empty movie clip in MAIN)
|
|__ Fading movie clip (which is inside of HOME PAGE, given a _root.fadewhite.play() by a button inside of HOME PAGE SWF
In short, how do i refer to the movie clip to play that is inside of HOME PAGE SWF which was loaded into an empty movie clip inside of MAIN EMPTY SWF?
I made this class and I put it in the same package of Timeline.as (the Document Class):
package {

My flash project is structured as follows, with the nested external swfs being loaded to clip holders using loadMovie():
home.swf
|--sponsors.swf
|--educators.swf
In home.swf, I've defined a text box with instance name contentWindow_txt, and assigned its path to _root.cw_txt. Now, when I type the following anywhere in home.swf:
Code:
_root.cw_txt.htmlText = "testing!";
The dynamic text box contentWindow_txt will display "testing!" when the swf loads. Unfortunately, when I make the same call in sponsors.swf, I get nothing. Is there something about external swfs or variable inheritance I don't know?
I am able to access main root from an external swf by doing this:
MovieClip(root.parent.root)
but how to avoid getting an error when testing external swf alone? Is there any try catch system I can do to avoid thoses errors?
I'm working on a site for a friend's art gallery.I have a dynamic html file I'm using to list an archive of shows so that it can be easily updated by the curator.Is it possible to code a link in the externally loaded xml file that will tell my flash movie to load an external swf into an empty mc on the root? is there a way to:
create a variable in AS that when added to the xml file, triggers something like loadMovie("g_0306.swf", "_root.empty"); ?
I have my main fla and then I have a actionscript named bullet.as.in the bullet.as I create a bullet using "this" throughout the script now how would I call the bullet on my main timeline?
View 3 Replieswhen a button is clicked, I want an external swf to load and play, then I want to go back to a particular frame in the original timeline.
View 2 RepliesI am loading the SWF just fine, but I want the SWF to fit the root stage exactly. What happens instead is that the external SWF seems to include white space from around itself.
For example, the author-set width of the Tanks game (an example file I was using) is 550px, but when I set the width of loadEvent.currentTarget.content.width to 550px, the game is resized to maybe 350px width. I have to set the value of loadEvent.currentTarget.content.width to something like 640 in order to get the game itself to make full use of those 550 pixels.
Code:
package {
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;

I have CS4 with AS3. I hard-coded values for cWidth and cHeight instead of getting them from flashvars because I am just testing in the IDE right now. Normally I would get those vars from flashvars.
I have a ScrollBar with some buttons in it. I need to know how I can load an external swf in a MovieClip which is on the root of main application?
View 3 Repliesi have uploaded a simple 1 page website with the flash video sitting outside of the root folder of the site itself. i have pointed the flv playback components to the video and published it and uploaded it but the video does not appear on the pages.
View 1 RepliesI know nothing about flash. I only need to change a few variables in a swf file. the swf file uses ../ for root directory, so, when I play this swf from other places than its designed directory, it will querry wrong URL.Edit: the swf are in this directory:root/domain/content/swfthe swf file has some ../url to querry files under the content directoryroot/domain/content/stuffs/items/filesIf I play the swf in another directory, for example, root/domain/topics/stories/jokes/then, the swf will querry root/domain/topics/stories/jokes/files, this is wrong. So I want to use a fixed expression to replace ../
View 1 RepliesI fixed this error before where the source of the problem was that 'stage' was inaccessible from where I was putting the code (not in root). I deleted it and it ran fine, but the Event listeners that they were attatched to did not work anymore. I need these event listeners but when I try to put 'stage.' back infront it wont work.
This is what I had when it worked (when this file was still the root):
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keypressed);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyreleased);
Now my code is this, and it runs, just without the event listeners working:
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keypressed);
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyreleased);

I'm running flash cs4. I have an xml file I've loaded in but cs4 actually takes out the root nodes. So now I've been trying to add them back in when a button is pressed but I can't do it. I looked at creatElement and appendChild functions they seem to be what i need but I can't get them to work.

View 1 RepliesI have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?

View 1 RepliesHow can I replace text loaded from an external file with text from another external file? Using setInterval and calling the .load from a function or something? In the example below I'm calling an external text file, could this also work with an .xml file with cycling through the children?
