• How to control an external SWF loaded with actionscript

  It is a question of both parties, and I'm pretty new to Flash. I'm working on a flash animation and the interface is a small town (simiar to "doritos.com" and "comcasttown.com"), if you are referencing the doritos comcast sites and their little movie gently. I have several items in the city. For example, one of the elements is an airplane hanger. When you reverse the hanger, I created a movie, the doors open and a plane flies out of the hangar. I have several small films throughout the interactive like this. I created the hangar as a separate swf file animation. In my main movie, I created a button bearing, it loads the SWF hangar in an empty movieclip. When I publish and display the swf file, it plays slow and jerky. First of all, is it possible to write an actionscript to load external swf file, but it will stop on the first frame of the animation, and when you the reversal, he continues to play.  To put all this in a Word, I want to create several buttons throughout the movie with loadmovie functions, once loaded swf movies I want to that they stop on the first frame of the animation and when you charge rolling video swf I want to continue to play the animation. ActionScript should be applied for swf movies first and preloaded in the main movie. And what will make the movies smoothly once he published and displayed in a browser.  Also, if that makes a difference, I created animations in sequels, exported as imported into flash FLVs and exported to the swf. Again, it works really slow and jerky. I'm taking the right approach?  I know it's a lot of information, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the script I used for the button.

  
  on (rollover) {loadMovie ("movies/solarpanel.swf", "solarload");

  
  Thank you

  1. export a SWF of sequels.

  2. Add a stop() on the first frame of your SWF so they don't start playing while they are loading.

  3. apply mouse on your target movieclips managers and using the play() method to start your SWF play when postponed:

  {target1mc.onRollOver = Function ()}

  This.Play ();

  }

  and if you want them to stop when roll-out:

  {target1mc.onRollOut = Function ()}

  This.Stop ();

  }

• Incompatible extern SWF loaded class with tree

  Hello

  I created a method to load certain classes of extern SWF (as descripted it).

  I can use the classes in theses for the source of the image.

  I have this bug when I used them for a tree of the icon.

  The problem is in the TreeItemRenderer 389 line.

  var iconClass:Class = _listData.icon;

  I don't understand the problem because my class CNodeRelais class type and iconClass is a type too...

• Difficulty to connect buttons with external swf...

  I'm working on trying to combine external navigation with swf buttons. Essentially, I've included the navigation (mask, buttons, scripts, etc.) in the main scenario and I'm trying to implement the buttons to load external SWFs right in the main timeline as well.

  I think that the problem is related to the instance names and the reference in the AS3 code, but I can't quite figure out how to fix.  I apologize for what is amateur, but I'm still very early in this learning process.

  The error messages are simple enough to what is the problem.  None of these three properties are defined in your code - use you them, but they are not the ones you have defined.  Check your spelling/denomination.

• Control external SWF loaded in MovieClips

  Draw the hair a little bit today, with something that seems so easy. I have a main scenario with two empty clips (originalMC, newMC). I'm loading external swf (original.swf, new.swf) in them. Sovereign wealth funds are in the same folder as the main file. They load very well and my EventListeners trigger functions as expected.

  I need the ability to stop reading the swf external when they load, but everything I've tried to create errors or simply fails. What I have to add to the functions (stopNew and stopOriginal) to prevent them from playing? Code below. Thank you.

  Chargers for newMC and originalMC

  var loader: Loader = new Loader();

  loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, stopOriginal);

  Loader.Load (new URLRequest ("original.swf"));

  originalMC.addChild (loader);

  var loader2:Loader = new Loader();

  loader2.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.Complete, stopNew);

  loader2. Load (new URLRequest ("new.swf"));

  newMC.addChild (loader2);

  function stopNew(e:Event):void {}

  trace ("new load");

  Track works on export, so the function is called correctly

  I would like this feature to stop the chronology of 'newMC '.

  }

  function stopOriginal(e:Event):void {}

  trace ("loaded original");

  Track works on export, so the function is called correctly

  I would like this feature to stop «originalMC» chronology

  }

  Your intentions seem to be off target if you want to stop the maturities of the two elements call you newMC and originalMC.   These two objects will not be the objects that are loaded.  To stop the timelines of the new.swf and the original.swf files you load, you would use something like...

  function stopNew(e:Event):void {}

  var newSWF:MovieClip = e.target.content;

  newSWF.stop ();

  }

  function stopOriginal(e:Event):void {}

  var originalSWF:MovieClip = e.target.content;

  originalSWF.stop ();

  }

  Assuming that you want to target these movies outside of these functions, you would report the variables outside the function instead of as shown inside.

• CS6 - fonts embedded in external swf loaded--lack of characters

  I created a SWF with some embedded fonts, and nothing else. I put all the fonts to export for Actionscript. When I load the external police, I call Font.registerFont () on each of the classes of this SWF fonts. The fonts work, but several characters are missing from the police.

  However, if I incorporate the same fonts in the main swf file that has the textfields instead of their loading from an external swf, all characters appear as expected.

  The alternative is for me to integrate several fonts in several other SWFs to be redundant.

  This seems to be a serious bug in Flash. I like it if it's not, and I'm doing something wrong. Adobe, are you listening?

  That's why I approach to code for 98% of all projects. My TextFields are that all formatted using the TextFormat class. I embed or load a SWC with the fonts in the main project and whatever other charges have use fonts that I loaded only once in the main application.

  Consider that there are also Runtime shared as an option for you. This is where you mark all your fonts in a Font.FLA export as shared runtime. Then just create the same fonts in your other parts of the user interface, but to import from the file shared time. Then you can work on the separate user interface components while still seeing the correct font.

  System code page simply means that if I'm on an English Windows copy then which will be the language that Flash considers most important. If I try to embed Arial and then programmatically create and populate a TextField with Chinese, it won't work, nothing will be displayed. Even though I explicitly tell Flash to include Chinese glyphs (which certainly exist in Arial). Because I can not specify the unicode range I need and force it as Flash Builder, Flash "magically internally" decide everything I need is English (latin) glyphs and wouldn't integrate the Chinese glyphs. This magical behavior was always a pain.

• 'Detect' a variable from an external SWF loaded via SWFLoader

  I load an external SWF file to a click event.  Then, when interactions has reached the end of the presentation, we would like what he offload and go into another State.

  Is this possible?  (actually turned the SWF into a component using Flash Builder 4 in the hope that it would be easier to detect variables and events)

• Problems with external swf preloading

  Hello

  I have to do a Web site using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3. I decided to implement a main.swf with a menu that loads all other pages (external SWF) into a movieclip. During the loading process is illustrated a preloader. It works fine until you click on a button to one page in another we're always loading. Although the percentage of meter refreshs swf you asked last gets charge and the dsiplayed, the preloader doesn´t turn invisible and stops above 100%.
  Please can someone help me? What I chose a completely different approach?

  The code on frame 1:

  var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
  sets the conbox movieclip as a place for external SWF files
  conbox.addChild (swfLoader);

  all external SWF
  var homeURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Unterseiten/home.swf");
  var home2URL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Unterseiten/home2.swf");

  the EventListener
  swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.OPEN, loadStart);
  swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
  swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);
  load the first external swf at startup
  swfLoader.load (homeURL);

  the functions
  function loadStart(e:Event):void {}
  var percentLoaded = 0;
  }

  function loadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void
  {
  var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal;
  percentLoaded = Math.round(percentLoaded * 100);
  this.percentLoaded.text = String (uint (percentLoaded)) + '% ';
  This. USLadetext.visible = true;
  this.percentLoaded.visible = true;
  }
  function loadProdComplete(e:Event):void {}
  trace ("file loaded");
  This. USLadetext.visible = false;
  this.percentLoaded.visible = false;
  }

  The code for a button:

  [button1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onBtn1Release);
  function onBtn1Release(e:MouseEvent):void {}
  swfLoader.load (home2URL);
  }

  Ah now I see you add loader to display the list.  I made an example of loading of 2 swf files, here is the source code of the files are attached, let me know if you don't understand something.

  stop();
  //pages to load
  var swf_ar:Array =["content1.swf","content2.swf"]
  //holder sprite
  var holder:Sprite = new Sprite();
  this.addChildAt(holder,0);
  //loader
  var loader:Loader;
  //controls
  btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onControlClick,false,0,true);
  btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onControlClick,false,0,true);
  
  function onControlClick(e:MouseEvent):void
  {
       loadSection(Number(e.target.name.charAt(3)));
  }
  function loadSection(pSectionNum:uint):void
  {
       //check of loader exist-> remove listeners ,close the loader,set to null
       if(loader)
       {
            loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onSectionLoadComplete);
            loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onSectionLoadProgress);
            loader.close();
            loader=null;
       }
  
       loader = new Loader();
       loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onSectionLoadComplete,false,0,true);
       loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onSectionLoadProgress,false,0,true);
       loader.load(new URLRequest(swf_ar[pSectionNum-1]));
  }
  function onSectionLoadComplete(e:Event):void
  {
       if(holder.numChildren > 0)
       {
            holder.removeChildAt(0);
       }
  
       holder.addChild(MovieClip(e.target.content));
  
       //when load finished remove losteners and set the loader to null
       loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onSectionLoadComplete);
       loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onSectionLoadProgress);

  I copied your code, made to reorganize a bit and changed the names of swf to match something that I had on the spot and it seems to work very well at this point. You have to adapt the names of swf.

• Using the DateField in an external SWF loaded

  Hello
  
  I had major trouble trying to get a PHP contact form basis to work within an external SWF file loaded within a parent SWF. When I test the movie on its own it seems to work fine (example: I am able to select a date in the DateField component). However, when I open the SWF file parent and call the external SWF file with the DateField shape is essentially unusable (example: when you click on it nothing happens, no calendar is displayed to select a date).
  
  I have no ActionScript on it yet, simply because I tell myself that I need to work before I tell him what to do with the PHP file. The name of the instance on the DateField is 'survive. ' Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
  
  Also, I used successfully the contact form on the web. But, UI components only that I am able to edit the input text boxes, not the DateField or ComboBox I have in there as well. It is very strange, I was not aware that he had to do something special with the help of these user interface components in an external file.

  Hey 2 m.

  In fact, I found a post on this forum who answered the way back in February in kglad. The answer to my problem was simply place the following code on the layer actions where my components have been posted:

  That's all. Thank you at least 2 m.

• External SWF load on buttons

  Hi all..

  I am loading a SWF file outside on click of a button, however, when the external SWF file loads, it covers the buttons... Can someone help me please on how I can keep the buttons on the top?

  I would just use flv. Just read on loadMovie and flvs here. In the swf file that loads the flv file, you must use the path of the html page to the flv file.

• AS3 pass variable values of external swf loaded in the parent swf format

  Hello

  I'm working on an e-Learning project that uses a main SWF (SWF1) and a second SWF (SWF2) with 2 quizzes in it. Published in the ATMOSPHERE for Desktop and Android, SWF1 and SWF2 are packed together in the Office of AIR or AIR APK exports.

  I use a charger in SWF1 to compose and execute SWF2. What I am having difficulties with, need help, is how to get 2 2 SWF2 quiz scores and load these values (each is a number) return SWF1. Once back in SWF1, they will be written to a string and then displayed in a text box using textbox.text.

  While I searched online and found examples to send variables from parent to child of the SWF file, so far not able to find an example of script understandable/useable AS3 to get variables from child to parent SWF.

  Any help appreciated.

  Best wishes

  The best way to communicate between parent and child SWFs is through events. Send an event to the child with the data to send and intercept the event to the parent level. This flow is common and very easy to handle

• Color external swf loaded in AS3 urgent help!

  Hi I loaded swf to the external path by using the following command.

  var curlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("clipArts/"+evt.target.name);

  Therefore, the scenario.

  Let's say I have load Movie1.swf

  I have three video clips inside Movie1.swf called step0, step 1, step 2

  I need to change the color of step0, step 1 and step 2 of the parent flash file that loads Film1. The color of internal movie clips may be different from each other.

  I am able to change the color of the entire music video using

  var colorInfo:ColorTransform = cviewer.transform.colorTransform;

  colorInfo.color = evt.target.selectedColor;

  cviewer.transform.colorTransform = colorInfo;

  But not the individual. I even tried cviewer.step0.transform.colortransform and other things to see if it would work. But nothing has worked. Fast help would be much appreciated.
