• 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:

  This ._lockroot = 1;

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

• 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.

• How to get an external SWF to start playing only when the preloader is finished?

  Yet another dilemma with my external swf.
  How can I get the external SWF only start playing once the preloader has finished loading the entire file.
  Currently when the SWF file is it already started playing in progress through the file.
  Any suggestion would be appreciated... my code is fixed as follows:

  After a hunt more through discussion of other people, I think I have the solution (not sure if it is the best way, but it seems to work). My new code is detailed below, including:

  MovieClip (myloaderDB01.content) .play ();

  Then I had to change my external SWF by the first blank frame and put a stop();
  Now when the preloader does its job the external SWF plays until it is supposed to - YAY.
  Hope this helps others...
  Any other suggestions out there with regard to a better way to do this work would also be appreciated.

• How can I unload external SWF?

  I use the following code to load an external SWF file. I want to unload the SWF (Clock.swf) after 10 seconds (automatically). How can I? I use greensock class.

  import com.greensock;

  com.greensock.easing import. *;

  com.greensock.plugins import. *;

  import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;

  var mySwf1:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader ("Objects/Clock.swf", {height: 200, width: 200, onComplete:completeHandler1, container: ClockContainer});

  mySwf1.load ();

  function completeHandler1(event:LoaderEvent):void {}

  TweenLite.to (event.target.content, 0, {alpha: 0});

  TweenMax.fromTo (event.target.content, 3, {x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 200, alpha:. 1}, {x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 200, alpha: 1, delay: 5.});

  }

  Download:

• 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

• 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.

• How to resize the external .swf files?

  Hello

  THA following the code is to resize the video Clips which are on stage. But how can I resize externally. SWF files? I am adding an external .swf file through Gallery_mc.addChild (loader);

  The following code works very well for resizing of video Clips on stage:

  var myStage:Stage = this.stage;

  myStage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

  myStage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

  function initialDisplay(event:Event):void {}

  var swfWidth:int = myStage.stageWidth;

  var swfHeight:int = myStage.stageHeight;

  Gallery_mc. Width = swfWidth;

  Gallery_mc. Height = swfHeight ;}

  addEventListener (Event:ENTER_FRAME, initialDisplay);

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

  It is not supposed to resize an external swf, unless you load it.  If you load, use a complete listener to resize:

  var loader: Loader = new Loader();

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

  Loader.Load (new URLRequest ("swf1.swf"));

  function f(e:Event):void {}

  addChild (loader);

  Loader.Width = Whatever;

  etc.

  }

• 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 even tried the external SWF to load in a clip and place the buttons on a layer above - and it does not work... Any help would be great appreciated. Thank you advance!

  Here is my code:

  Table external to use staples. Variable index refers to the next clip is displayed.
  var clip: Array = ["page1.swf", "page2.swf", "page3.swf"];
  var int index = 0;

  Stuff to load swf files
  var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
  thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.INIT, doneLoading);

  var thisMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
  stage.addChild (thisMC);            Add MC initially empty so that the nextClip function can be generic

  Removes the old MC and gets the following, waiting until what, when it booted transfer, adding to the scene
  function nextClip (): void {}
  thisLoader.load (new URLRequest (clips [index]));
  }

  AS of Tell the loaded file is a video clip and add it to the stage.
  function doneLoading(e:Event):void {}
  stage.removeChild (thisMC);
  thisMC = MovieClip (thisLoader.content);
  thisLoader.unload ();
  stage.addChild (thisMC);
  thisMC.play ();
  }

  
  'Next button' just calls a function that indicates the file name following (mod the number of files in the list)

  bttn1_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, playNext);

  function playNext(e:MouseEvent):void {}
  nextClip();
  index = (index + 1)%(clips.length);
  }

  stage.addChild (bttn1_mc);
  bttn1_mc. Visible = true;

  You are welcome.

• How to use the external swf semi-transparent mask?

  I want to use the external swf semi-transparent mask for the smooth transition. I use

  clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  clip.setMask (mask);

  Everything works fine. But when I use

  loadMovie ("http://www.url.com/movie.swf", "_root.clip");

  clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  clip.setMask (mask);

  It does not work... What am I doing wrong?

  Well, if your loadMovie is on the same timeline as the code that you set as a mask, then you need not _root.

  And sorry, I forgot, there was a problem with the main mc of masking that loadMovie is load in. While I was doing was putting clip inside another mc and called as well as mc 'container' then my code would look like:

  masker.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  container.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  container.setMask (masker);

  container.clip.loadMovie ("movietoload.swf");

  Download two attached SWF files and open the main.swf to see.
