Movie Loads Completely Before Playing
Mar 30, 2009
I am designing a website for my brother (URL...), and have place a movie he created on the first page of the site. It is a Flash movie, and I do not have the original document. I would like to set it up so it loads completely, then starts playing on it's own once it has completely loaded. (Right now it loads a bit, then plays, then loads a bit more, then plays a bit more, etc).Does anyone know how I can do this? (or what i need to tell my brother to do to the original) so that the whole thing will load, then start playing automatically?

Basically my code at the beginning of the movie queries the server for the file names of jpeg files that are to be loaded into sequential frames. The reason is that the user can enter file names into a database and the application plays them back without the user having to do any flash programming. Currently, my code is using a preloader in each frame along with some additional code to center the picture etc.
This is fine *but* I need all of the jpegs to load before the movie starts, not when the play head gets to each frame. I can't have any delay from one frame to the next. Delay in the beginning of the movie is ok. Can anyone help me with a method to dynamically load these jpegs completely before the movie starts playing?...once loaded they must be available for any frame to call immediately.

I am new to this site and I have to say its amazing, just what I was looking for. I have figured how this MP3player works: [URL] BUT my problem is, I cant get it to start playing as soon as the movie loads. Instead of clicking the trak I want it to play then clicking the 'play' button before it starts playing, I want it to start playing the first track as soon as the movie loads.

I have three AS2 swf files main.swf - very simple swf file with three buttons (home,btn1, btn2)
1.swf - an swf file that is launched by the pressing of btn1
2.swf - an swf file that is launched by the pressing of btn2
Home button simply removes the loaded swf and shows btn1 and btn2.
If I launch main.swf and click btn1, then 1.swf loads fine. I click home and click btn2.. 1.swf still loads! When I close main.swf and reopen, click btn2, then 2.swf loads fine. I click home and click btn1.. 2.swf still loads! WTSDLFKJ@##@$
This is why I ask how to completely unload the swfs? I've tried every different way to unload Google could show me.. unload, unloadandstop, etc. I've tried loading 1/2.swf as a movieclip and URLRequest. I've tried using two separate containers and loaders. Still the same thing.. the first opened swf is the only one that will open unless I close main.swf, reopen and then click the OTHER button.
I should note that 1/2.swf are flip book style applications that load external .xml data.

I am so stuck on the simplest of transitions! I've just started using AS3 everything works fine so far, but I have been looking for weeks for a solution to this.... Please help me!!
I have a simple illustration with 4 buttons. Each button calls in a different SWF (movie) . The SWF fades into place and when you click on a different button it is removed and a new one fades into the same position.
My question is: How can I make the swf fade out completely after playing without pressing another button, so that I can see through my illustration in the background?

Everything is embedded in an HTML site. The HTML loads a preloader that then loads the actual flash movie. Inside this movie I created a few buttons, inside a scroll bar movie clip. I want the buttons to load a whole new movie inside the same html. The code I'm using in the button is simply:
on(release) {
loadMovie("new_movie.swf", 0);
}
The problem is that it works beautifully in the Flash movie tester but doesn't do anything when tested inside the browser, embedded in the HTML. I think the problem is that the HTML embeds as an object the first movie, the preloader for the menu movie, not the menu movie itself.

I've made myself a little flv player, using the progressive download method.
However, it only starts playing once the whole flv has been downloaded. Now the adobe docs quote:
While using an ActionScript 3 file, the video begins playing only when enough of it has downloaded so that it can play the FLV file from start to finish. This behavior can be altered using ActionScript.
However, I can not find this code anywhere. bufferTime does not work (as it is downloading, not streaming).

I have a simple html splash page which when clicked goes to another html page with my flash object in it. When I click the first page the flash runs the whole animation and loops it continuosly. Id like it to just stop at fram 0 when it loads!

Every time I try to make one ...the preloader loads with the content instead of playing and checking to see if all the content has been loaded and then continuing.

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]

I have an swf with several movie clips set up to work as navigation buttons (using _up, _over and _down frame labels). The same navigation swf is used by several different HTML pages and navigates between them.
I want to pass the swf a variable with FlashVars in the object/embed script that will disable the movie clip button for the page the user is currently on.
In AS3 myClip.enabled = false; only removes the rollover behavior of the clip, but does not prevent the clip from receiving mouse events.
How can I disable the clip completely so that it does not respond to events?

i am working on a preloader, that could be used as drag a drop component.... the basic idea is to make a preloader that could be place in any movie and it shows it loading progress...here is the code
Code:
this.parent.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, downloadComplete);
this.parent.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, downloadProgress);[code]....
the problem i am facing is the ProgressEvent is fired when the movie is completely downloaded......... how can i make it work

I have been getting errors when i try and make a call or get data from something on the main stage (like a volume slider) from an external class.
I have flash gallery with an mp3 component. The MP3 component features a volume slider movie clip that i manually put on the stage.
When i try and reference this from a file that is not the main as3 file it comes back as not being defined unless i set a small timer to kind of put my external class to sleep, then reference the slider.
Is there a way to fire off an event when all the components on the main stage are fully loaded?

I am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.

I am loading an external SWF file into my main timeline. The external SWF file contains an FLV video. At a certain point in my main timeline, the SWF file loads and plays the video. Is there a way to say...
If the VIDEO (FLV) is done playing, gotoAndPlay(X)?

Is it possible to create a completely dynamic menu by creating empty movie clips and loading external images into them? I'm experimenting with this, but it seems there is no way to create rollover/release functions for these dynamically created MC's.

Here's what I have: interface.swf - dynamically loads the movie.swf's into itself and will control the movie (when I get around to it). it has the loadBar object

I have a modular movie format. All movies load into a shell/base movie. I have a video intro that loads into the loader component in an external movie. This movie in turn loads into the actual main movie.What I'm trying to figure out is when the video intro gets done playing, I want it to move to the the next frame (#3) so it can run a behavior I have there to load another movie in its place.I've tried the "on complete" with several variations to no avail.I have a button that will move you to the frame #3, but I want to make it happen automatically if I could.

I have a problem with some Actionscript.. I have a horisontal scroller that works fine when its used without it loading into another movieclip. I have a master file that loads in that scroller swf file, i think it has some errors with the paths.. but I�ve tried various ways to get it to work, but no sucess. I have three objects on stage, the content mc with AS:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_root.scrollMC._x=-1*(_root.slider.b);
}
[Code]....
Do u know what I need to change for the scroller to work when its loaded into another swf?

Is it possible for action script to import audio files into the flash movie while the movie is playing. (Instead of manually importing a file from within the flash application) Or some way to load an audio file located at a remote url, that is not preloaded, and play it.I've searched through the action script reference guide, but have found nothing to do the job.
