• Unloading of an external SWF that is loaded with a close button on the external SWF to unload

  I found a discussion on this topic, but I still have problems to work and was hoping to get some help here.

  Here, I have a file: http://www.dril-quip.com/test/main.swf

  I: main.swf (menu) and I module.swf (content)

  If you go to the wellhead systems/SS-15 BigBore II submarine and click on I have to load an external swf which covers most of the parent company.

  So far so good. My problem drains the loaded swf to 'Child' with the button provided on the loaded swf to 'Child'.

  Here is the code that I used to upload the file but I can't, for the life of me, find a way to unload.

  var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();
  btnbb2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);

  function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("moduletemplate.swf");
  
  bigboreLoader.load (bigboreRequest);
  stage.addChild (bigboreLoader);

  I am sure that it requires the child to communicate with the parent somehow, but I'm at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something to deal with this, it would be a great help. I just need to have my links loading my modules and remove it when the narrow buttong is struck on the loaded swf file. I promise you that I did some research and I confess that I found asnwers, but still they do not work. I found the code below:

  Main FLA:

  function removeF() {}

  removeChild (bigboreLoader);

  }

  var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();
  btnbb2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);

  function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("moduletemplate.swf");
  
  bigboreLoader.load (bigboreRequest);
  stage.addChild (bigboreLoader);

  EXTERNAL FLA:

  btnClose2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, bigborecontent);

  function bigborecontent(myevent:MouseEvent):void {}

  MovieClip (parent.parent) .removeF ();

  }

  I think I have a poor understanding of the code. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

  again, this code should all be on the same timeline as btnbb2. in main.fla.

  var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();
  btnbb2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);

  
  

  function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("moduletemplate.swf");
  bigboreLoader.load (bigboreRequest);
  addChild (bigboreLoader);

  }
  

  function removeF() {}

  removeChild (bigboreLoader);

  }

  /////////////////////// end main.fla code ///////////////////////////////////////

  This code should all be on the main timeline in FLA EXTERNAL.

  and btnClose2 should be placed on the main timeline in your external fla. //

  btnClose2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, bigborecontent);

  function bigborecontent(myevent:MouseEvent):void {}

  MovieClip (parent.parent) .removeF ();

  }

  end external fla code.

• loading an external swf that loads an object from url

  I am trying to load an external swf which in turn automatically load an object. I want the external swf will only be loaded once the object is loaded in it. for now, it loads the external SWF first, then the external swf file loads the object specified in a URL...

  exactly.  you will need a preloader that checks if your external swf finished loading its dependent objects.

• Load external swf from Web site

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to load an external swf that is downloaded to a folder on my site from a main swf stored locally.  If I use the standard Loader with URLRequest class it doesn't throw any errors, but nothing comes. I need to change some security in my flash file settings to allow this works?

  Thank you very much

  Matt

  the movieContainer class defined in MasterLibrary.swf AND your main swf file?

  If this isn't the case, you can load MasterLibrary into your currentdomain.  If so, you need to reference the application domain the loader:

  public void loaderIOErrorHandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void / / this function is called when the main movie cannot load a local copy of "MasterLibrary.swf".

  {

  loadLibrary = new Loader();

  loaderAppDomain = new ApplicationDomain();  register if required

  loaderContext = new LoaderContext (false, loaderAppDomain);  register if required

  loadLibrary.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, loaded);

  loadLibrary.load (new URLRequest("myDomain/MasterLibrary.swf"), loaderContext);

  }

  public void loaded(e:Event): void

  {

  var:Class=Class(loaderAppDomain.getDefinition("movieContainer)) C;

  var instance: MovieClip = new C();

  addChild (instance)

  }

• Quick Q re: loading external swf in flash

  There is probably an easy fix that I am right on...

  I am building a Web site where I have several external swf that I load it into my main movie through buttons (using release, container.loadmovie ("movie.swf"))

  There is a clip on the main timeline with several thumbnails, which act as buttons to load each swf. Sovereign wealth funds are loaded within the timeline of the movieclip (not the main timeline). When each swf is loaded, there is a 'return to the thumbnails' button for you back to the page of thumbnails on the main timeline.

  Everything works fine, except that when I click on the button "return to the thumbnail" and it brings back me to the miniature screen... the SWF is still visible as a reason any. The button is just redirecting to an image labeled on the main timeline where the miniature screen slides in... but he loses not the swf file and I can not understand how to make it go away.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  You will probably need to use a unloadMovie command to get the swf to go away (container.unloadMovie ();).

• Why I can't load external .swf boxes?

  Hello world...

  I am trying to load an external .swf that contains check boxes. The external .swf has a script in the applications folder on FMS3 server-side.

  When I insert the external .swf locally, it works fine.

  If I load the external .swf remotely with an Apache Web server, the external .swf is loaded but do not appear the boxes...

  Why?

  Please, help me...

  Emiliano.

  Are these components AS2 or AS3? If the latter, I would advise you to place the components in a RSLS (runtime shared library) and active in the external SWF, then reference the RSL.

• 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

  Try to change the code of loader main file for more like the following (blue nine):

  var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("gametestG.swf");

  var loader: Loader = new Loader();
  loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleteHandler);
  Loader.Load (defaultSWF);

  function loaderCompleteHandler(evt:Event):void {}
  MovieClip (evt.target.content) .addEventListener ("closeChild", onChildClose);
  addChild (loader);
  }

  function onChildClose(event:Event):void {}
  loader.unloadAndStop ();
  removeChild (loader);

• Pause/Play for external SWF

  Can someone help me witht this? I'm going crazy trying to understand because none does not work. I am trying to create a play/pause button that will make a break and play on the main timeline (easy), but also an external SWF that is loaded with the class Loader. Here is my code:

  var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();

  Create a new instance of the Loader class

  var url: URLRequest = new URLRequest ("MYCONTENT.swf");

  myLoader.load (url);

  load the SWF file

  myLoader.x = 134;

  myLoader.y = 148;

  addChild (myLoader);

  In the main scenario, I have a MovieClip that is the Pause/Play button. He alternates between the two. How to control the external SWF as well?

  Section 1:

  Stop();

  pauseBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseMovie);

  function pauseMovie(e:Event): void {}

  gotoAndStop (2);

  MovieClip (root) .stop ();

  MovieClip (root).myLoader.content.stop ();  ///??????????

  }

  Section 2:

  playBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, regarderMovie);

  function playMovie(e:Event): void {}

  gotoAndStop (1);

  MovieClip (root) .play ();

  MovieClip (root).myLoader.content.play ();  ///????????????

  }

  Try:

  var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();

  Create a new instance of the Loader class

  var url: URLRequest = new URLRequest ("MYCONTENT.swf");

  myLoader.load (url);

  load the SWF file

  myLoader.x = 134;

  myLoader.y = 148;

  addChild (myLoader);

• Control external swf timeline

  Hey guys

  I was wondering how to control the timeline of an external swf that is loaded into the root of your main timeline from within clips embedded in your main timeline?

  I can control it successfully once he is responsible for the function which assigns the external swf a var MovieClip, but I want to be driven for more deeply in my main swf.

  1. I loaded an external swf into the root of my main swf.

  2. after loading, I assign the external swf file a var MovieClip and then set up a button to control the timeline of the external swf file:

  function dataOnLoad(evt:Event): void {}

  var myClip:MovieClip = evt.target.content;

  function updateSwf(evt:MouseEvent): void {}

  myClip.swf_MC.gotoAndPlay (2);

  }

  update_but.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, updateMenu);

  }

  I want to do is now, instead of the button where it is, I like it to reside in the moiveclip, I called editor_MC, which is on the timeline which is the code of function above.  How can I call updateSwf(evt:MouseEvent) to editor_MC?

  Cheers for your help guys.

  Shaun

  do not take local myClip to your function.  (and never nested named functions):

  var myClip:MovieClip;

  var loader: Loader = new Loader();
  addChild (loader);

  var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest (loadSwf.text);
  Loader.Load (newSWFRequest);

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

  function dataOnLoad(evt:Event): void {}

  myClip = MovieClip (evt.target.content);

  update_but.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, updateMenu);

  }

  function updateSwf(evt:MouseEvent): void {}

  myClip.swf_MC.gotoAndPlay (2);

  }

• Content of external swf showing outside video clip

  

  This is my final project for a multimedia class, I have a link which is here

  http://mmproduction.blogspot.com/2009/11/final-project-NYTimes-food-issue.html

  Basically I have a movie clip instance (loader_mc).  I have buttons for loading external swf with this code:

  Stop();

  total_photos = 20;
  function get_photo (newnumber) {}
  current_photo = 'do' + newnumber + ".swf";
  loader_mc.loadMovie (current_photo);
  }

  Next button:

  {We (Release)}
  If (n < total_photos) {}
  n ++ ;
  } else {}
  n = 1;
  }
  get_photo (n);
  }

  Previous button:

  {We (Release)}
  If (n > 1) {}
  n-- ;
  } else {}
  n = total_photos;
  }
  get_photo (n);
  }

  I want keys to load the SWF - to give users better ergonomics.  So this is the code I have for each button:

  We (Release)
  {
  loadMovie ("do1.swf", "loader_mc");
  }

  But when I run my main swf - external load swf content outside the area I want to either--because in the external swf content, I put things out of the scene - how to hide the content, I don't want to see?

  I looked at your file (s) and I guess I learned something new... If you select _without as police, it behaves as if you had a dynamic textfield.  I think it's maybe because specifying the _without police ended by saying the file choose a font of the user's machine that satisfies without criteria... so it does not incorporate the police as it normally would.

  The cure for this is to specify a truly named font, such as arial or verdana, or what font you have on your system that you want to use.

  To the extent where where to place the mask, if all these different numbered links in an external swf that had to be hidden as the one you provided, then put the mask in the main file on the layer above the layer of doclip... which means that the mask will be on top of the doclip layer which contains the loader_mc object.  This will be the approach less labour.

  A minor suggestion.  In the swf you load, you must move the layer to the first text field that moves so that it is above the three layers with the photos.  This way the white of the pictures is not visible as they move through the text.

• How to get a SWF that is responsible for controlling the parent timeline?

  I have a SWF that loads an external swf. I want the external swf (that has been loaded only), interact with the timeline of the swf file that just load it. I tried MovieClip (root). or MovieClip (parent). but they give me errors. How can I use as3 in the external swf so that it interacts correctly with the parent?

  the main timeline in the swf file that is loaded, you can reference the main timeline in the swf loading using:

  MovieClip (parent.parent)

• change the original size of external swf in the main sequence

  I have an external swf that loads into my main movie using loadMovie. The original .swf that is loading is greater than what I would like to appear in the main movie. Is it possible to say the clip that externally is charged in, to reduce the size of the loaded .swf?
  
  any input?

  Yes, you can set the _xscale and _yscale of clip that you load. If you know the percentage you can just hardcode it... If you don't need to wait until the external swf file is fully charged and then check its _width and _height and discover how much will have to resize it you.

  I advise to use the MovieClipLoader class instead of loadMovie. It has nice events who will tell you when the file is loaded.

• Animate the MC in external SWF

  Ok
  
  using AS3 and 'Tweener', I want to animate a clip of a loaded SWF file.
  
  However, I would like to do from the main sequence code, no code in external SWF.
  
  Here is my charger:
  ------------------------------------
  var _swfContainer:Loader = new Loader()
  var _url1:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("about.swf")
  var _url2:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("portfolio.swf")
  
  var _externalMovie:MovieClip;
  
  Start loading and add the loader to the scene
  stage.addChild (_swfContainer);
  _swfContainer.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (flash.events.Event.COMPLETE, finishedLoading);
  
  For this, once the swf file is loaded
  function finishedLoading (e: Event)
  {
  _externalMovie = MovieClip (_swfContainer.content);
  }
  
  function loadAbout(e:Event) {}
  
  _swfContainer.load (_url1)
  }
  
  function loadPortfolio(e:MouseEvent) {}
  
  _swfContainer.load (_url2)
  }
  ------------------------------------------
  
  Here's the code for Tweener:
  
  Tweener.addTween (_externalMovie.ip, {x: 244, time: 0.4, delay: 0.3, transition: "easeOutExpo"});
  
  the '_externalMovie.ip' would be refrence any external SWF that was loaded with the clip 'ip', at least that's what I want
  
  This is the error I get:
  Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
  at main_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
  
  Yes, I have my prefrences flash set up to access the Tweener class.
  
  Sorry, that function "join code" was not working when I created this post

  Well Yes, that was it.

  If I place the code that follows, the tweener code works:

• external .swf DURATION link AS3 png

  Flash allows you to compress the .png files as Photoshop can compress .jpg files better than any other tool high hand.
  
  I have the 77 .png files 1.8 .megs on my c: drive after I imported the and adjustment of the compression of files under the ' file > publication settings "to 75% for jpg and published the .swf with all the .png on the stage of the file size is 350 k which is 20% of the size of the original PNG file downloaded files with 77 separate application.
  
  I can create links in the shared .swf and test the animation with the code in the .swf shared to add holders of movieclip for each .png to the scene, but when I load the .swf shared in the main .swf Flash acts like he can't create the classes based on the link I have setup or there is no linkage of MovieClip.
  
  I tried a test to have the .swf shared with the png and movieclips bound to add to the assets of their own stadium and it works very well, but this means that a lot of my code and logic is included in the shared .swf that designers need to add png to. It's unfortunate AS3 sucks but I'm about done with the project if I knew that a battle AS3 would be I would have stayed with AS2 my next project will be AS2 no matter not at all. In any case I have set identifier 'class' link for each .png with a support of movieclip for each image. The 20% of the size for PNG and a single application against 77 separate application it's worth the extra effort to import the images, creating a movieclip with linkage holder but the main .swf which loads the .swf that is shared with all assets and links may not see or create assets as the shared .swf can when I test.
  
  We have the main .swf GET a handful of related assets .png and place them in the main .swf to load assets in different parts of the main .swf. It's cute that the shared .swf can add its own stadium-related assets but not too helpful. Also the way we deploy we can't roll a new version/Release to update the png but we can download a new .swf on the Active Server, so the png should be in a separate .swf. I can get the MovieClip shared add assets related to its own stadium during the test and when my problem loading is the main .swf which loads the shared .swf cannot create instances of the classes that are exported for the duration of sharing using binding.
  
  If possible I would like to know how the hell you get a handle on assets linked in a responsible external .swf. Preferably without creating my own crazy prototyped mega libraries of .as files consisting of outer class. Just a way of holding png MovieClips that have a connection and is configured for sharing the length of reference. It shouldn't really be that hard it's a simple task in AS2. I'm not a coding contest or some wild class to do the job that I want a few lines of code to create an instance of a class, then the reference to the Assembly/MovieClip holding the .png to addChild in a clip target.

  I solved it that I'm loading 77 assets incorporated into an external .swf that compresses the 77 PNG images without losing quality, it works very well.

• Preloader is running on top of the external SWF

  I have a very simple preloader that loads an external SWF. It almost works. :-)
  
  I find that the external SWF appears in the window - good - but the preloader continues to run on top of it - bad. I have attached the actionscript code that is in my preloader...
  
  To see it in action, go HERE.
  
  Thanks in advance!
  -bryan
  
  ================================================
  

  Thank you very much. But I think that I'm not sure why the progress bar is HERE. If the SWF file is loaded and appears in the window, why is the progress bar still there and running? Why didn't he go away? The progress bar is correct, and the SWF file is displayed even if it is only partially charged?

  I finally subordinate the visibility of the external SWF that it is fully charged - so bytesLoaded file< bytestotal,="" then="" the="" swf's="" visibility="" is="" set="" to="" false.="" maybe="" that's="" just="" kludge,="" but="" it="">

  Again, thank you for answering my question!
