Flash :: Actionscript 3 Version Of 'Transitions Between External SWFs'

Actionscript 3 Version Of 'Transitions Between External SWFs'
In 2004, a brilliant tutorial was published on Kirupa by Voetsjoeba entitled 'Transitions Between External SWFs'.

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm

I've been using it ever since. Trouble is, its in ActionScript 2 and I really need to make the move to ActionScript 3. Has anyone got an ActionScript 3 version? I'm just a designer so I'm very limited when it comes to understanding code

Cheers

Transitions Between External SWFs - Looks Crap As The Size Of External SWFs Grow
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm

regarding this tutorial I started my site (http://technoportsolutions.com/technoflash/) to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions. If anyone ever did something better or how can I use some transition effects (like intro and outro) without using external SWFs ? is my current problem.

Transitions Between External SWFs - Close Button For External Swfs
I recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link. Anyone have any suggestions? I am fairly new to actionscript and not quite sure how to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance for you help!

Transitions Between External SWFs W/ Symbol Transitions - HELP
So I've been pouring over this forum looking for a solution to my problem. (this is probably a little lengthy, so I apologize in advance).

I've been using the techniques in the tut: Transitioning between external SWFs
to create a little flash movie to be used for work. I've created files to mimic the tut, ALMOST to the T.

Somethings that I have changed... I'm using a transition on a symbol to fade in and out. I'm also using a gray gradient in the first 12 frames as a "woohoo, look at me" intro.

So my problem is that when I start the mainmovie.swf file it's supposed to pull in the first swf file (section1.swf) and go through the same actions as the above tut. But what is REALLY happening is that section1.swf starts, but it's only the gray gradient. When I click on button 2, I get the same gradient, only this one loops (which isn't supposed to happen). Same thing with section 3.

I've gone through the code (which should be right, because I cut/pasted into flash, changing only the file names), but also doesn't mean much, because this is my first dive into AS.

Yes, I have five buttons and only three external fla files, I figured, let me get these working first, and then do the other two buttons.

On top of this, I wanted to get the entire sequence to play and loop three times. But my main concern is to get the buttons working. I would attach the files, but they are too big, even zipped.

HELP PLEASE! Thank you in advance,
~V

Version Limitations When Loading External SWFs
Does anyone know if there are limitations to loading SWFs compiled in an older version of Flash within a newer container?

For instance, can I load a Flash MX swf inside a CS3 container, and then output the entire stage for printing without issue? Even if I can, are there any other limitations of note?

External Swfs Transitions
Ok, so I did the Kirupa tutorial on transitions between external swfs and it's not working for me at all.

I even created an empty movie clip to load immediately.

I've only started working on the first two buttons: about and services.

I have two external sub naviation movie clips of these buttons that have intro and outtro animations. I think I've done everything the tutorial has asked me to, but I still can't seem to get it to work right.

Can someone please check out my attached files and see they can figure it out? Their in MX2004, and I'm on a mac, so I can only see code if it's in the reply message not placed in that code box. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate the help.

Transitions Between External SWFs
I am doing a website with 5 buttons (about us, clients, portfolio, contact, faq) on it. These 5 swfs are dynamically loaded into the main movieand each swf have its own intro, stop frame and an outro which plays which clicked on another button. i have used the this tutorial found on the web and it works fine.

However, my ABOUT US swf have 3 sub-navigation within it and i cant get it to play the outro animation of the the other 2 sub-navigations when user clicked on the nav bar.

The following is the AS for my button

ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "work";
container.loadMovie("work.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "work") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "work";
container.play();
}
}
}

first frame of my external swf

ActionScript Code:
midframe = yournumber;

midframe of my external swf

ActionScript Code:
stop();

last frame of my external swf

ActionScript Code:
_root.container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");

Appreciate it .

Transitions Between External Swfs
Sorry about this, ive done this method before and it works fine, but now...well.

On the main timeline i have an empty mc name 'mainholder', 30 frames later i load a movie using: mainholder.loadMovie("testing.swf");

In the testing.swf on the first frame i have midframe77, thereafter a short fading out tween.

On the main time line i import the navigation movie (in the library) and on button one, i have:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "testing2.swf";
_root.mainholder.loadMovie("testing2.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "testing2.swf") {
if (_root.mainholder._currentframe>=_root.mainholder. midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "testing2.swf";
_root.mainholder.play();
}
}
}

So....the button loads the testing2.swf successfully, however i lose the midframe function...therefore i dont get and fade out tween, it just disappears and the next movie is loaded in its place.

...any ideas?...thanks in advance

Transitions Between External SWFs
Based on the tutorial on the site. I am enquiring how can the following simple operation be put into action on the code.

Have a separate button within the other loaded movies that when clicked plays the outro animation and then unloads the same movie itself.

How can this be done without interfering with the code int he tutorial that allows you to do the same thing when clicked on any other button.

I have a similar problem to a recent post, but cannot seem to figure it out.

i want to have the buttons, which are actually movie clips, placed in the main.swf, which is loaded by the index.swf. the buttons then call the swfs to be loaded.

i've changed the "_parent.container" scripts, but nothing is happening. could anyone take a look at it and tell me where i'm going wrong?

i've attatched the files that i have so far.

Transitions Between External SWFs
I have read the tutorial here for this but have some questions.

what if i want to use one intro animation and exit animation for load and unload of a movie. So if i had a movie with several key frames which load different scrolling text box component with html and some swf files and images and want to have a fade in and out animantion when i click or leave the key frame loading the external files.

How would i do this?

Currently my movie will have around 50 key frames loading seperate files(swf, jpg, text box with html) when you go to them. But i will have buttons on each one to nav to other ones. This is for a virtual tour of a building. It will also have a next and previous button on the bottom. So i guess the next and previous button need to tie into the load and unload animation too.

so is there a way to have one fadein and fade out called for all so if i want to change the animation i do not have to do it in all the swf files and only the main one?

Thanks for all the help!!!
Aaron

Transitions Between External SWFs
I read this tutorial and it works except that I have a lot of buttons. So I created a function that has all that information in it:

Code:
function thumbDisplay(thumbMov) {
if (currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "index";
container.loadMovie("index.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != thumbMov) {
if (container._currentframe>=container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = thmubMov;
container.play();
}
}
}
//Function call
thumbDisplay("index")
The code on the buttons is:

Code:
thumbNail.onRelease = function() {
_root.thumbDisplay("myBox")
};
Last but not leaset the code at the end of the movie that is loaded into the main movie is:

Code:
_root.container.loadMovie(_root.thumbMov+".swf");
My problem is that when a button is cliked it comes back with:
Error opening URL "undefined.swf"
I know that there is a problem in my function but I can not seem to fix it. Please help....

A Lil Help:Transitions Between External SWFs
NoteIf your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. In this example the buttons are located on the main timeline, therefore 'container' targets the container movieclip correctly. Though, if they are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path.

my buttons are not located on the main timeline...
so i cant figure out what the appropriate path is for the container
any help would be greatly appreciated

Transitions Between External SWFs
Hello ladies and gents,

I am having a bit of trouble manipulating what I learned in the "Transitions Between External SWFs" tutorial.

I have an introduction animation (INDEX9D.fla) that contains an empty movieclip which is suppose to load external swf's DESIGNWORK1, ACCOUNTING1 (not yet created), and CONTACT1 after the mouse is released from the respective button. The Nav Anima movieclip contains the buttons and the code from which this directive is suppose to occur. The moviclip is on the INDEX9D layer called
Nav Bar.

Basically, when I originially used the code from the tutorial on the first movie and button (DESIGNWORK1), it worked like a charm. Now that I am attempting to add the code for CONTACT1 the file is screwing up. It leaves traces of the DESIGNWORK1 movie or vice versa when I have clicked on the contact button first and then the design button. I can tell that the Contact1 movie is not loading properly at all. Sometimes the Nav Bar does not work properly either.

When I remove the code for loading the CONTACT1 movie, it all works perfectly again. Can you give me some advice on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you for whatever assistance you can offer and the INDEX9D file is included for your review.

. . . .I am a beginner so if you see something that looks really dumb, please do not hesistate to tell me (big or small) so that I can do it right in the future. Thanks!

Here is the code on the design button and the contact button respectively. If you need the other files I can send them per your request:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Design Mode");
}
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "DESIGNWORK1";
_root.container1.loadMovie("DESIGNWORK1.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "DESIGNWORK1") {
if (_root.container1._currentframe >= _root.container1.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "DESIGNWORK1";
_root.container1.play();
}
}
}

and then for the other button:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "CONTACT1";
_root.container1.loadMovie("CONTACT1.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "CONTACT1") {
if (_root.container1._currentframe >= _root.container1.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "CONTACT1";
_root.container1.play();
}
}
}

Re: Transitions Between External SWFs
Ok, first let me say this tutorial is great, as it has worked for me before.

My problem here, though, is that I have been making this new page, and when the content loads into the container, it looks like it is zoomed in @ like, 10000%

All of my code is the same for my working flash movies, so I can't figure out what the problem is. Any ideas?

So I change all the paths to be, instead of just container, window_mc.container. But it didnt work. Now whenever you click on a button, it sends you back to the first swf.

Transitions Between External SWFs
I've read thru the tutorial, however, my transitions between SWF's have nothing to do with buttons or navigation.

I have a 39 second presentation that is in 3 parts. Each part is a separate SWF file loaded into a main movie. The main movie contains a narrative soundtrack and all 3 movies must synch to the narrative.

Everything works great, but the transitions are little rough around the edges between sections, a little too sudden. I really would prefer to smooth it out, but I'm no actionscript wiz, not by a long shot. I've tried adding fade-outs and fade-ins, but I invariably end up with an ugly pause of black background between movies .

Any suggestions on how I might adapt the tut from here to work in my scenario ??

Thanks in advance

Re: Transitions Between External SWFs Tut
Ok, so i followed this tutorial,
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm
and everything is working great no problems to speak.

In that tutorial, all the buttons that loaded the external SWF's were on the main timeline. What i wanted to do, was have links inside the externally loaded swfs that would load additonal pages in place of itself.

I.E. Say you click on "Products" on the navagation bar, and the "Products.swf" is loaded externally as shown in the tutorial.

But then once in the "Products.swf" page when you click on a image of a product, the "Products.swf" plays its outro and then loads that particuar products individual page.

There was a note included in the tutorial saying that all you would need to do is change the path to container movie clip. But i have no idea which one to change. HELP !

Here is the code.

Quote:

on (release) { if (_root.currMovie == undefined) { _root.currMovie = "main"; container.loadMovie("main.swf"); } else if (_root.currMovie != "main") { if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) { _root.currMovie = "main"; container.play();}}}

Sorry, im new here. Dunno the proper way to contain code in that pretty blue border.

Transitions And External Swfs
So this is entirely new to me...not necessarily flash but this forum thing, so feel free to let me know if I'm doing any of this wrong.

Working on a site and that uses transitions and loads external swfs (like the tutorial)l. Thought it would be a good idea to use something different, as opposed to what I've been doing in the post, which was onClipEvent do this and if this happens play this. However, I'm having trouble -- actually I don't know if it is even possible -- with buttons within these external swfs. The navigation is the main movie with the transition and loads an external movie with it's own set of navigation. I am wondering if there is a way to link up those sub buttons with the main movie. Like if you go to the men's section and want to return home not from the main nav, but by a secodary one in the external swf and still use the tranistion set up in the main movie. Is this possible? Referencing movie clips across movies?

I doubt that was clear, because I have a hard time expaining it to myself. If you have any suggestions that would be great, if not it was still a good opportunity to think things through. I've attached my .fla files and if you need further reference, take a look at the working site: http://threestories.net/clients/gyth/

Transitions Between External SWFs
I'm trying to use the "Transitions Between External SWFs" tutorial with my movie but I can't get everything to work properly. About my movie:
The container is at "_root.main" on the swf. The tut says to adjust the buttons to point to this location which I've done. But when I try to click back to a lower section, it just loads the same section over and over. For example, if I were to click section 2 and wanted to go back to section 1, the movie loads section 2 again.

here is the code I'm using on the button (section1):

on (release) {
if (_root.main.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.main.currMovie = "section1";
_root.main.container.loadMovie("section1.swf");
} else if (_root.main.currMovie != "section1") {
if (_root.main.container._currentframe>= _root.main.container.midframe) {
_root.main.currMovie = "section1";
_root.main.container.play();
}
}
}

Any help is welcome, thank you.

I want to use the same technique as this Transitions Between External SWFs tutorial.
So when i click a button it loads the swf and when i click a other one it loads a new swf, what happens now is that when i click a button the previous swf animates first and then it loads the new swf.
I want the previous swf to still be visable and let the preloader run somewere in the screen and then let the new swf appear.
Is this possible ?

Transitions Between External SWFs
I have three swf files: navigation3.swf, thumbnail_scroller.swf and chuck.swf

I have set these swfs up to load into containers as per the techniques laid out in Kirupa's Transitions between external SWFs as described below.

thumbnail_scroller.swf has a container (playercont) in the root, and a button which loads chuck.swf into that container. This all works fine when standing alone.

navigation3.swf has a container (container2) in the root, and a button which loads thumbnail_scroller.swf into it. thumbnail_scoller.swf loads fine, but the button no longer loads chuck.swf.

Is there a rule that these containers can't be nested, or is it a targeting issue. I thought it would be better to load chuck.swf directly into navigation3.swf when the button in thumbnail_scroller.swf is clicked, but cannot figure out how to do that, or if it is even possible.

I've been banging my head on the desk all day - can anyone help me out? Any aid would be greatly appreciated!

Help With Transitions Of External Swfs
I am using this scripting for my website. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm I have used it on other websites successfully, but the website I'm working on now is a little more complicated and the scripting is not working correctly.

Before I had simple buttons on the root level, but now I have complex rollover buttons in side movieclips playing on the root level. When I go to test the site in Flash 8, it works fine, but then when i publish the files and open it in a browser, it is not loading the external swfs into the main swf. All the files are in the same folder as the main swf and I am not using any other folders.

Does anyone have experience with this method of attaching and transitioning of external swfs?

Or is there a better and simple way to achieve this same function?

Thanks!

I am using the code from the Transitions Between External SWFs tutorial that is featured on Kirupa. I have a Green_main.swf that contains the main navigation buttons, a Main.swf (home page), a Company.swf, a Places.swf, and an Inquiry.swf. All the external swfs are working great except one, which is the Places.swf. The reason is because the Places.swf contains stop actions. This swf is not stationary like the rest of them, I have an navigation mc with buttons with the following actions:

on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndStop("chap_farms");

}

I have labels set up across the timeline, ex. "chap_farms", "chap_woods", etc. Once this swf is loaded into the Green_main.swf, these buttons move to the specified label great, and stop where I specify. The problem is that once they stop anywhere before the "midframe" area, I can't get the buttons on the Green_main.swf to work, or the "out" transition for Places.swf to work. I took out all the stops in the Places.swf and when it got to the stop before "midframe", the transition effect worked. But when I do that I have no control over the timeline in the Places.swf.

Can anyone tell me how I can have the best of both worlds, i.e. the ablility to load an external swf that can move around the timeline as well and transition out?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Transitions Between External Swfs Via AS3
Guys, need your algorithm power on how to create a smooth transition effect between externally loaded swfs using AS3.

When you press a button, the external swf will fade in, when you press another button, the external swf will fadeout, and then the new external swf will fade in, and so on. thanks guys!

Transitions Between External SWFs
I found this tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm

Can get it to work no problem... until I put the nav into a MovieClip... can anyone help?

AScript for button:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "work02";
container.loadMovie("work02.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "work02") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "work02";
container.play();
trace("hi");
}
}
}

Transitions With External SWFs Help
So I'm using Kirupa's Transitions with External SWFs tutorial and runninging into a little roadblock. In each external SWF, everything works fine as long as my fade in transition, content, and fade out transition are all on the main timeline along with the appropriate code. However, if I have all of this in a movie clip (work for example), things seem to stop working. Here's the code I have assigned to the button that's supposed to load work.swf:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "work";
container.loadMovie("work.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "work") {
if (container._currentframe>= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "work";
container.play();
}
}
}

Do I need to change a path somewhere to call to the movie clip work within the SWF work? Thanks,
