• simple variable problem and question preloader

  I am new to AS3 and have a problem with the following code:

  Stop();
  var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  var xmlData:XML = new XML();
  var homeText:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  var slideLoader:Loader = new Loader();
  var sprContainer1:Sprite;
  var projectPath:String;

  This. Title.Text = projectInput.category.project[0].@name;
  projectPath = "projects / ' + projectInput.category[0].@path + ' / ';.

  }

  LOAD THE TEXT FILE

  IMAGES LOAD - LOAD FROM XML MULTIPLE IMAGES - COMPLETE

  sprContainer1 = new Sprite();
  homeImg.addChild (slideLoader);
  slideLoader.load (new URLRequest (projectPath + "/ image2.jpg")); < < CURENTLY LOADING AN IMAGE

  The above code shows how to load an XML file that contains the path to the text and image files, I am able to trace the path correctly in the service of ANALYSIS above, but I'm not able to recover the variable (or he also traces) in the TEXT section of the LOAD, please help.

  As I continue to code, I would also like to dynamically load images multiples (in the section LOAD IMAGES) using the projectPath and iterate through each image appearing in an XML file. I'm still not at this time, but my question is how to create a preloader/progressbar that overall progress is displayed for all URL requests (the text file and several images contained in the XML file). Thank you immensely.

• Memory SWF question

  I have a question about the memory used when loading a .swf.
  I attract a Director MX application that plays a flash loop. When the program loads the file flash the memory usage in the Manager of tasks for the Director climbs to about 750, 000 k.
  When the flash file is not practiced it drops to about 10, 000 k.
  The flash file is 40 M, 361 long wheelbase and plays at 30 frames per second. 12 seconds.
  My PC has 1 G of memory, and it is the only application running. The flash playback is jerky and sometimes stops.
  
  My question is why the program jumps from 10 000 to 750 000 k k when loading a file of 40 M?
  I can add memory, but I would like to know why such a leap for such a small file.
  Is there anything else I can do to reduce the memory usage and keep the quality of the loop to draw him?
  
  Thanks for your help in advance,
  Steve

  It's simple.
  a 800 x 600 bitmap image needs about 2meg memory. At your flash
  for example with 350 frames. so you can calculate the needed memory.
  hard disk the swf file is stored compressed, but loading in memory it will be decompressed.
  In the case of a linear animation, why don't convert you to FLV?

• Importing SWF question

  Hello

  I have a swf file ("has") that imports two other sovereign wealth funds ('B and C').  It works very well.

  I have another swf ("D") than imports swf "has".   D import swf has, but suddenly swf has import B and C - a URL error is thrown.

  I played with the settings of publication for a few hours, but have no solution.

  What should I change to make it work?

  Thank you

  Shaun

  What do you use to target A loading?  Try to use the same path for an interpreter to load B and C.

  You may need to use the same path target B and C, because you load A in D.  I only use usually this shpeel when there is a HTML involved, and I'm not sure it applies here, but when a swf is loaded into another file, another file becomes the baseline for everything that loads the swf file, which means that you would like to have to load B and C as if it was actually where D is.

• Animation of progress for loading the SWF question

  Hi all

  I created a progress bar animation to load an external SWF file, as described in this document:

  leader = 00001043.html & http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts

  The problem is the SWF file I want to load is a magazine exported in Indesign, if I want it to show up a single page (frame) both (you can go to the next page by using the navigation buttons provided).

  When I use the method mentioned above the clip of charges, but while he plays... so, how can I do stop at the first image?

  Thanks in advance

  Cyrus

  Based on the code, on what you say you based your load, I would say that what you did with the onLoadInit function can be a good place to try to tell the film to goto and stop at frame 1.  To the understanding of the mt, the onLoadInit event is raised after loading is complete and the movie starts to play, so his interception at this point is probably the best.  I know that maybe it's not the code.names that you use, but I hope you get the idea...

  mclListener.onLoadInit = {function (target_mc:MovieClip)}

  target_mc.gotoAndStop (1);
  target_mc._height = 500;
  target_mc._width = 700;
  };

• Embed the .swf question

  I have a flash .swf file in which I include in my flex application. In the flex application, I have a connection. I have buttons that control the navigation of the flash file in the flash file. I want to validate if the user is logged before allowing the buttons work. Is this possible?
  
  Thank you

  If you Flash SWF is a SWF9 then you will be able to communicate in a way the function call, as if the flash SWF is a component. Using SWFLoader, child content is the flash SWF file.

  If you use a SWF8 or anything earlier, you will need to use LocalConnection. The reason is the SWF9 is ActionScript 3, as well as Flex, and they reside in the same Flash Player VM (virtual machine). SWF8 and earlier are ActionScript 2 and must run in another virtual machine. This makes it possible for Flash Player 9 play all previous Flash content.

  LocalConnection allows one-way communication between two players Flash (or VM).

• Question of preLoader

  When the return to home page [index.html {swf]} the preloader screen displays and won't go further.  Works very well on site.  Is there another piece of code I have to add to force return to the page to start in box 2 instead of 1 when the preloader starts? Or a method to work around the preloader, once the site is loaded?

  What I have now is:

  Stop();

  Preloader

  loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);

  function updatePreloader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void
  {
  var p: Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
  preloader_txt. Text = % + '% ';
  If (p == 100) {}
  nextFrame();
  }
  }

  Thank you!

  use:

  var bool:Boolean

  {if(!bool)}

  Stop();

  bool = true;

  Preloader

  loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);

  function updatePreloader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void
  {
  var p: Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
  preloader_txt. Text = % + '% ';
  If (p == 100) {}
  nextFrame();
  }
  }

  } else {}

  nextFrame();

• sound starts on preloaded Captivate swf files

  I created a custom - swf player preloads a series of external swf "slides" in a single holder clip, stores clips loaded into a table and starts playing the first. The problem is that the audio of some files created by Captivate swf begins to play once the slides are preloaded, and the audio continues throughout the main sequence. stopAllSounds() is called when navigating between the loaded clips - this seems to be the only thing that works to stop the sounds, but they will start again once I start to play the other clips.
  
  It has been very difficult to isolate and resolve - can anyone help?
  
  

  Resolved - I need to loop through all the external clips after they are charged and call rdcmndRewindAndStop = 1 on them (this affects only captive, of course).

  The alternative, generally recommended on these forums, I see, is to place a stop on image 1 of any swf you load; However, they Captivate generated, then an alternative solution was necessary.

  Thank you!

• e-Learning suite 6.1 (captivate 6.0.1.240) preloader does not work

  I have a project with a swf file published 10 MB. I use the arrow.swf AS3 preloader. When I access the preloader project shows a moment and then disappears, leaving a blank screen while the movie continues to load. I've upgraded to this version a few days ago, more precisely, to use the features in version 6.1 to see that this very basic feature is now broken.

  I have to go back to 5.5 just for this or is there a solution?

  Good to know that your question me am resolved.

• Get a .swf to access the FlashVars

  OK, I have an AS3 application, let's call it Game.swf, who needs to access the Game.html... easily done with FlashVars
  
  . Parameters LoaderInfo (this.root.loaderInfo);
  
  It turns out that Game.swf is heavy enough to require a preloader. The only effective way to do this in AS3 is to load Game.swf in Preloader.swf, which is integrated in Preloader.html.
  
  The question is, where the FlashVars to go (in Preloader.html?) and how can - Game.swf access these variables? I tried
  
  . Parameters LoaderInfo (this.parent.loaderInfo);
  and
  . Parameters LoaderInfo (this.root.parent.loaderInfo);
  as well as
  . Parameters LoaderInfo (this.parent.parent.loaderInfo);
  
  without a bit of luck. Any suggestions on how to do it? Thank you very much.

  I figured out one perhaps less sophisticated but still effective method to do this...

  1. the FlashVars are placed in Preloader.html...

  2. on the first image of Preloader.swf in the FlashVars are extracted from Preloader.html and Game.swf are loaded in preloader...

  var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo (this.root.loaderInfo) .parameters;
  var containerName:String = paramObj.testName;
  var containerNumber:int = paramObj.testNumber;
  var containerFoo:String = paramObj.testFoo;

  var L:Loader = new Loader();
  L.Load (new URLRequest ("Game.swf"));
  addChild (L);

  3 and on his first image Game.swf Gets the Preloader.swfvariables...

  var loadeeName:String is MovieClip (parent.parent) .containerName;.
  var loadeeNumber:int is MovieClip (parent.parent) .containerNumber;.
  var loadeeFoo:String is MovieClip (parent.parent) .containerFoo;.

  btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, showStuff);
  function showStuff(event:MouseEvent) {}
  showMe.text = loadeeName + "" \r"+ loadeeNumber +" \r"+ loadeeFoo;"
  }

• Loading multiple SWFs and saving them (code works is not under Chrome and Firefox 23)

  Hey guys,.

  Anyone has an idea why this suddenly does not work? (It works under internet explore but not firefox and chrome)

  The code below is placed on my main swf to preload all my external swf and store them for not having to wait too long to get there.

  Thank you guys.

  I took the code by btw: http://www.beautifycode.com/the-finer-art-of-loading-2-handling-multiple-swfs#snippet

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

  	var _swfLoader:Loader;
  	var _swfRequest:URLRequest;
  	var _swfPathArr:Array = new Array) '00.swf', '01.swf', '02.swf' );
  	var _swfClipsArr:Array = new Array();
  	var _swfTempClip:MovieClip;
  	var _loadedSWFs:int;
  	startLoading (_swfPathArr);
  	function startLoading(pathArr:Array):void {}
  	_swfLoader = new Loader();

  	_swfTempClip.customID = _loadedSWFs;
  	_swfClipsArr.push (_swfTempClip);
  	If (_loadedSWFs < _swfPathArr.length - 1) {}
  	_loadedSWFs ++;
  	loadSWF (_swfPathArr [_loadedSWFs]);
  	} else {}
  			//
  	}
  	};

  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]);

• Question of the loading Animation

  I posted the code that I use for my preloader below. When my .swf is preloading my loading bar moves very smoothly. I have a problem with the part of the code I labled //HERE IS ANIMATION CODE.
  
  This code basically takes a movieclip called "sammy" to the frame that corresponds with the percentage of loading. So it looks like the animation progressed only that the percentage has increased, but it doesn't. Instead it forward most of the time, but sometimes jumps back a few frames, then goes forward again.
  
  When I run a trace(); the numbers never jump back. It shows the same number repeated or moved up.
  
  Any suggestions or pointers would be great.
  
  PS - AS3 is greatly appreciated Adobe!

  and apply gotoAndStop(), gotoAndPlay() to sammy not.

• Try to float my icons so that they are always in the lower right of the browser window.

  I am currently using tags div to achieve, but because I am now fields a preloader, I can't use this method. I have elements which must float including my logo on the lower left, my icons at the bottom right and request a tab on the top right of the window. I also need my main_mc to be centered in the browser window. I could do all this using CSS and DIV tags but because I would use a preloader, need to understand how do have instead.

  Someone said in a previous debate that I could use javascript in some way to position elements, but do not know much about him. If someone could put a solution relatively easy to do this I would really appreciate it.

  What kind of preloader is that? Do you use some sort of preloader javascript which shades site and preloads the page? How the preload affects your need to change the CSS? The SWF resize itself?

  If you are not very familiar with JavaScript, it is better to get a frame that will handle things like differences between the browsers for you. jQuery is a very popular and easy to use framework. You can use the class ExternalInterface AS inform JavaScript your Flash loading is completed and use jQuery to measure and align your SWF object. You would need a resize handler to adjust necessary also when the user resizes the browser.

  Although I keep just simple with CSS is better. I don't understand why a preloader is not what allows some CSS work unless the SWF is actually changing the size.

  An example of a JavaScript function using jQuery that ExternalInterface might be called to reposition the SWF, assuming the SWF file has the id = "MainSWF":

  JavaScript

  $(document) .ready (function)

  {

  resize the listener

  $(window) .resize (function () {AlignElements() ;});

  Make sure SWF is absolute positioned

  $('#MainSWF').css({'position':'absolute'});

  call it to begin

  AlignElements();

  });

  function AlignElements()

  {

  Use the top/left properties to align SWF

  var left = Math.round (($(window) () - $('MainSWF').width () .width / 2) + "px";

  Var high = Math.round (($(window) () - $('MainSWF').height () .height / 2) + "px";

  $('#MainSWF').css({'left':left,'top':top});

  }

  AS:

  LIKE, called SWF after preloading

  ExternalInterface.call("saveglobalscore",score) ("AlignElements");

  Make sure you download and load jQuery into your pages, so it is available or not working. There are a lot of other JavaScript frameworks you'll love more or are together lighter on the loading of the basic page for such things. Looking around doesn't hurt.

• LoaderInfo event listener does not

  Hello

  I'm that requires little things like;

  1 swf should play if the customer open it to its end (it will be detected by the verification of a text file that contains the variable on the local disk say 'C')

  2 swf should preload is flashvars from HTML file on the server by user

  3. If both the conditions of work dosent then swf above should not play

  I got some what in the present. If I run the file without preloader it works fine. but when I add the preloader for it something goes wrong.

  Please check the code;

  import flash.text.TextField;

  to import flash.events.ProgressEvent;

  import flash.events.Event;

  import flash.display.MovieClip;

  var Progress_txt:TextField = new TextField();

  var myFlashVar:String;

  var myVar:String;

  var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo (this.root.loaderInfo) .parameters;

  for (myVar in paramObj)

  {

  myFlashVar = String (paramObj [myVar]);

  }

  checkFlashvar();

  function checkFlashvar (): void

  {

  trace ("CHECKING Flash VAR");

  If (myFlashVar is "varInHTML")

  {

  InternalPreloader();

  trace ("pass found var");

  }

  on the other

  {

  trace ("VAR NOT FOUND");

  gotoLocalVar();

  }

  }

  function gotoLocalVar (): void

  {

  var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

  myLoader.dataFormat = pouvez;

  myLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, chkLocalVar);

  myLoader.addEventListener (IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);

  myLoader.load (new URLRequest("C:/key.txt"));)

  function chkLocalVar(event:Event):void

  {

  If (myLoader.data.passKey is "grantAccess")

  {

  trace ("pass key found");

  InternalPreloader();

  }

  on the other

  {

  trace ("Local VAR NOT FOUND");

  Stop();

  parent.removeChild (this);

  }

  }

  }

  function onLoadError(evt:IOErrorEvent):void

  {

  trace ("TXT FILE NOT FOUND");

  Stop();

  parent.removeChild (this);

  }

  function InternalPreloader (): void

  {

  Stop();

  Progress_txt.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;

  Progress_txt.y = stage.stageHeight 2;

  addChild (Progress_txt);

  trace ("load progress event");

  loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);

  loaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

  }

  function onProgress(p:ProgressEvent):void

  {

  Progress_txt. Text = String(Math.floor((p.bytesLoaded/p.bytesTotal)*100));

  trace ("verification of progress");

  }

  function onComplete(d:Event):void

  {

  trace ("loaded, start my movie.");

  Play();

  loaderInfo.removeEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);

  loaderInfo.removeEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

  }

  I'm not getting where I do the wrong thing...

  your swf file has already completed loading when you start listening so that it loads then progress events and load are not dispatached.

  to remedy this, add an if statement to check if all the bytes or managers are responsible.

  These classes are only available for Flash Player 10 +. You publish the SWF for Flash Player 10?
