• Cannot load external swf

  Hello

  Im trying to load an external swf into my project, the code is simply:

  var loader: Loader = new Loader;

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

  I get an error that says the following when it debug.

  TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference...
  at gallery_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
  Cannot view the source code at this location

  I have done this same thing before but never got this error message, I tried to load a swf file that is old and it worked fine.

  IM totally lost here, any help is very appreciated.

  Because the error is pointing Gallery fla, it can be that the problem lies in the SWF Gallery.  What you need to do, is to enter your Setings publish and select the option to enable debugging.  This will help by joining the line number of the code problemed.  You think it's a number of top line to no matter what you have in the file doing the oading that would probably make most issues that's the file you load.

  Just in case you have copied and pasted, the following line should have thrown an error of syntax by lack a parenthesis...

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

• How to unload external SWF?

  I was finally able to work on a way to fix and preload external SWF files - now I'm looking to understand how to unload the SWF external on a mouse event so that a new SWF file can be played.
  I googled this to death all day and have resulted in nothing of what seems to work for me.
  Below is are code so far... does anyone know what I need to add?
  Help, please...
  

  I have it working! YAY!
  I learned a lot from Andrei1 - fantastic help... unfortunately I still couldn't the code work...
  I bought 'Visual Quickstart Guide ActionScript 3.0' and tried some of their code mixed with some of my own (with help from the knowledge I gained from Andrei1 - THANKS again legend)...
  In any case, the resulting code is as below - which you charge my external SWF files and then discharge them with a click of mouse - FANTASTIC! Hope this helps others out there with the same problem.

• Load external swf and stopping on the 1st frame.

  Hello everyone

  I use following code to display an external swf file on the iPad.

  var request: URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://< server ip > / test.swf");

  loader = new Loader();

  Loader.Load (request);

  The file load passes through each image and closes the application.

  Y at - it will be a way to stop the 1st frame once the file is loaded and move between the ribs to the?

  Thank you

  If you listen to when the charger is finished, you can stop the swf file:

  var mc:MovieClip;

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

  function swfloaded(e:Event) {}

  MC = e.target.content as MovieClip;

  MC. Stop();

  }

  Now you can do what you like in this clip. As:

  mc.gotoAndStop ('some ' label');

  or:

  mc.gotoAndStop (10);

• AS3 for unloading external swf

  I know this is a well covered topic but after spending two days trying different

  things that I have to admit that I'm perplexed.

  Got two swf I want connected to another to act as a brochure portfolio gallery - parent is called child 'portfolio' is 'portfolio_flash_2 '.

  Both have animation at the beginning with the child having a "skip" button (because its animation is odd to 20 seconds long). After the animation the thumbnails displayed for larger images.

  On the two SWFs, the buttons, I use to load (parent to child) and unload (child to parent) appear after the animation - I can get the dependant child of the mother, but problems knowing what good code to use the button "page2_btn" of the child to be returned to the parent company.

  The code that I use for the parent button is called "cloud."

  var myLoader:Loader = new Loader ();

  cloud.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, portfolio);

  function portfolio(myevent:MouseEvent):void {}

  var myURL:URL request = new URLRequest ("portfolio_flash_page2.swf"

  myLoader.load (myURL);

  addChild (myLoader);

  }

  I also tried to add to the above with any code on the button of the child swf file.

  myLoader.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadcontent);

  function unloadcontent(myevent:MouseEvent):void {}

  removerChild (myLoader);

  }

  but after the animation (when the code in the scenario is written) just by clicking anywhere on the child swf (not only the button) is the parent appear.

  I also tried (twice when the last code above was present and deleted) add this code to the 'page2_btn' I made for the page of the child;

  page2_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, removeSWF);

  function removeSWF(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  removeChild (myLoader1);

  myLoader1 = null;

  }

  But that was just the button on the child does not and larger images play as if it was a movie.

  Most of this code, I had class in a book and discussion here, have you tried countless others of other google searches but when your stupid your stupid. So if any body could help a learner I would be very grateful.

  Use the trace() function to find where the code is a failure.

• Garbage Collection, external swf and XML

  I did tons of research on the AS3 garbage collection. I have a decent knowledge of it, but I CAN'T find any info about the deletion of xml data. The worst thing is, I have no control over the version of the file (AS2 or AS3) swf file I'm loading. Unfortunately, I'm loading AS2 swf (with an outside provider that will not show you any code) in a film of AS3. When I run garbage collection, the data from the xml file / is not deleted and I can't understand how get rid of it. The problem is, once a file is loaded which calls an xml file, no other files cannot load an xml.
  
  If anyone knows how to clear the XML, please fill me in.
  
  Thank you!

• Why Flash CC cannot compress a SWF and Flash CS 5.5?

  Did anyone here knows why this happened?

  I have a FLA where I had to export a SWF file not exceeding 40 KB. Without changing the settings, the SWF exported about 63 KB. Then I opened the FLA in Flash CC and went to publication settings. Tried to change the quality of JPG, click on compress movie (Deflate), removed the check mark include hidden layers. If that wasn't enough, I tried to compress each image in the library by accessing the properties for each. After playing with the image quality for awhile, the smallest, I could compress the file SWF has been 58kbs.

  But then... I tried to open the same FLA in Flash CS5.5. Use the default publication settings. Has not changed the file either. And the exported SWF was 35 k! More image quality was a heck of a lot better than the 58kbs SWF exported out of Flash CC.

  No idea why? CC adds nothing to the file that does not have 5.5? I just find it strange and annoying to work with when the requirements of size of file for flash banners are always only 40kbs...

  Thanks for any idea!

  The version of Flash Player you target probably has a lot to do with it. New versions of the Flash Player have new capabilities, so additional code requires more space.

  Be sure to export that you target the same version of Flash Player in both applications. Also do not include the XMP data unless you need it.

• external SWF unload &amp; stop works not

  I am trying to load and unload external swf containing audio & video. Problem is that when I unload the SWFs, the noise continues and I am getting overlapping sound. This is the code I use:

  var swf_loader:Loader = new Loader();

  unload the previous swf

  swf_loader.unloadAndStop ();

  removeChild (swf_loader);

  load new swf

  swf_loader.load (new URLRequest ("welcome.swf"));

  swf_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, finishLoading);

  function finishLoading(e:Event):void {}

  {if (swf_loader.content)}

  addChildAt (swf_loader, 0);

  }

  swf_loader.y = 75;

  swf_loader.x = 0;

  }

  unloadAndStop() is only supported by fp10 + no fp9.

  you use flash cs5.5?

• AS3 external swf close self

  Hello

  After looking through the forums online and video tutorials...

  I am always facing errors of loading an external swf into my main swf (full step width).

  In my main.swf... i have several scenes.

  On one of these scenes, I have an external SWF that loads my main.swf step size.

  Which works very well...

  BUT

  I now want to close the external swf on a button (in my external swf) and to return to one of my scenes in my hand. SWF

  I read many forums that talk about dispatchEvent

  I tried these methods and I am still facing errors.

  I want just one button on my external.swf that is farm/unloads/deletes itself... so that the user can continue by HAND. SWF after that they played OUTSIDE. SWF.

  in actionscript 2, it was a breeze.

  in as3, it's a useless pain in my rectum

  Sorry if I've missed a lot

  any help would be appreciated

  Thank you guys.

  I am running flash player 11.8.800.94... He used to work under Firefox and Chrome

  I have no problem with ff and I don't see any problem in chrome.

  You probably have a typo in if:

  loadSWF(pathArr[1]);

  should be

  loadSWF(pathArr[0]);

• MainTimelime ContextMenuItem MENU_ITEM_SELECT event not sent the magazine containing the external SWF

  1. custom context menu applied to MainTimeline
  2. using a Loader() to load an external SWF and have it added to its container display string
  3. Make a right-click SWF loaded menu contextual custom appears, but the MENU_ITEM_SELECT events are not dispatched when the user clicks on the items
  4. click right on elsewhere in the parent SWF works great, even on deep nested objects (not externally loaded)
  5. Remove loaded SWF of the display string and right clicking in its location very good

  I managed to find a hack . On the charger () parent display object, I put:

  .mouseEnabled = false;

• External SWF

  Hello, everyone!

  I have some problems using external swf.

  In fact, loading swf and access to its classes have no problem. Let's call a SWF that loads another - 'HAND'.

  public var GAME_LIB:LoaderContext;
  private function LOAD_GAME_LIBRARY()
  {
       var GAME_LIB_LOADER:Loader = new Loader();  
       GAME_LIB = new LoaderContext();  
  
       var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("EXTERNAL.swf");  
       GAME_LIB_LOADER.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, GAME_LIBRARY_LOADING_COMPLETED);  
       GAME_LIB_LOADER.load(request, GAME_LIB);  
  }
  
  private function GAME_LIBRARY_LOADING_COMPLETED(e:Event):void
  {  
       var tmp_class:Class = GAME_LIB.applicationDomain.getDefinition("ZZZ") as Class;
       var myMC:MovieClip = new tmp_class() as MovieClip;
  } 
  

  The question is:

  responsible for access to the classes of the swf 'HAND' to 'EXTERNAL.swf '? I want access to the classes of the 'HAND' loading code "EXTERNAL.swf". "» So ' HAND ' a sth in his library, I would like to call "new SMTH()" in the code of "EXTERNAL.swf" and get that smth from this GREAT library.»

  Sorry for my English.

  The problem is:

  This new SMTH, called EXTERNAL.swf, should be added as child in hm... HAND root, not EXTERNAL

  I have found no easier way but creating public var externally and passing HAND stage.root to it.

  externally:

  public var GAME_ROOT:*;
  public function ADD_SMTH()
  {
       var tmp_class:Class = getDefinitionByName("ZZZ") as Class;
       GAME_ROOT.addChild(new tmp_class() as MovieClip);
  }
  

  in HAND:

  public var GAME_LIB:*;
  private function GAME_LIBRARY_LOADING_COMPLETED(e:Event):void
  }
       GAME_LIB = e.currentTarget.content;
       GAME_LIB.GAME_ROOT = stage.root;
       GAME_LIB.ADD_SMTH();
  }
  

  So, this is how to make new SMTH() from the OUTSIDE.

  Main SWF will load external swf, then external code in swf will add class to hand library at the root of the hand.

  Problem solved. Thank you, kglad
