Anyone Know How To Link External Image Files To A Flash Movie?
I need to load images dynamically into a Flash movie. That would mean that the image files would be at a seperate location from the Flash movie, but would be imported at runtime, and play in the SWF file.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Loading External Image Files Into Flash?
My site will have a couple of designs so the content for the site will be stored in .txt files then loaded in dynamically. This way I will only have to edit one file to make global changes.
However how do I load external images in?
I have quite a lot of images which would bloat the Flash pre-loader.

Maximized Flash Movie With External SWF-files
EDIT: For less blah blah and more focus on my actual question, check out the second post in this thread. Thanks!
------
Hello smart people,
I have a SWF-file with 2 objects in it:
1) A rectangle with a gradient colour that covers the entire movie, which is used as background for the site.
2) An empty MovieClip somewhere on top of the rectangle, used as a container to import external SWF files.
I want the rectangle with the gradient colour to cover the entire browser window, which I did by going to the Publish Settings - HTML and changing the dimensions to 100%. I also changed the setting "Scale" to "no border" to make sure my background (the rectangle with gradient colour) would be maximized as well.
The problem I'm having is that when the user makes his browser smaller, the whole main SWF and external SWF get smaller, and I want the external SWF to keep its dimensions. How do I fix this? The idea is a bit like www.monokai.nl, where the background fits every browser window from 1024x768 on, but all the components (buttons, logos, whatever) stay put.
Thanks in advance!

External Html Image Link Issue
Okay. I have a dynamic text field that loads an external html file with some images. Some of those images I would like to link to another page in a separate window. I am sure there is some weird formatting error I am doing, but I cannot figure it out. The code in my .html files is:
<A HREF="http://www.macromedia.com" TARGET="newframe" ><img src="images/port1.gif" align="right"></A>
If I remove the align="right" the image link works but alignment falls apart. I have tried to put the align="right" in several locations inside the code, but either the formating is weird, or the image does not link. Any help would be wonderful.

External Image Loader (.swf Files)
What's up ya'll! Ok here's my deal. I'm relatively new to action scripting so please bear with me. Clown me all you want, but if you can help that'd be better! First of all, I'm using Flash 8 Professional and I think the code I found on flashkit is a bit outdated. If there's a thread that already covers this, please shoot me with a link. Thanks
What I'm trying to do is create a menu that will load in sample images of my work, ranging from business cards, posters, cd packaging, etc (all uniform in height) to empty movie clips on the stage of an mc called "folio". The images themselves will be in their own repsective .swf files (to allow me to animate the "after loaded" animation, unless I can learn to do that with AS also).
Here's the layout. I have a button in the "folio" movie that loads a descripton and .swf file containing an image using:
loadMovie("image1.swf",contentMC);
loadMovie("descript.swf",descriptMC);
image1.swf takes longer to load than the description, it has a preloader and a "transition in" animation. On the last frame of the transition, which ends with a dropshadow (to elevate the appearance) I have this code:
stop();
loadMovie("image2.swf",_root.folioMC.contentMC2);
The problem is I require the empty movie clips already on the stage for this to work, and I'll have to create completely new swf for each project. Also these mc's are defined to fit business card projects and they're already at pre-defined locations on the stage. If I were to load in CD artwork, or somthing with more than 2 images it won't work for the pre-defined layout and I want to avoid having a bunch of empty movie clips all over the place.
How do I get around having the movie clips there at all? I'd prefer the button create an empty movie clip and set the location then initialize the first clip. Then that clip create another empty movie clip and set the location relative to itself and initialize the next part and so forth. I guess I could make a separate "folio" clip specific to the project type and have them as a type of template (that's my ghetto work around).
Can I use functions and variables to do this with script? Better script, I should say? I want to keep the transition elements, but everywhere on flashkit for tutorials on image loaders, none use preloaders and they're very plain. I have a drop shadow animation that triggers on the last fram of the image.swf also (I really like the look it gives). Can filters be applied and tweened using AS also? If that's possible then that would be awesome!
You guys recommend any good books for begginers?

Referencing External JPG Image Files?
I'm developing a site with a backend. I am going to want the same JPG image to be used throughout multiple SWF's, but only want it to load once. Is there a way I can call it similar to loadMovieNum, where it loads the first time and then stays cached? Or won't flash allow raw image files to be loaded in like that?

How To Load An External Movie Using A Link Within An External Swf - Urgent
Hi all
Flash CS3 but coding in AS2 - mac.
I believe I have asked this question before but i was using loadMovie() - I am now using loadClip and the MovieClipLoader class and obviously I have managed to break something.
I have a number of external swfs which load fine, with preloaders using MovieClipLoader, into an empty MC on the stage called holder_mc. In one of the external swf's, there are two links to separate external swf's - if you click on either of them, the current swf is unloaded and the new one is loaded. I used:
Code:
myButtonWithinSwf.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.loadMovie("newMovie.swf");
}
However now that I am using a different code (because before, evrything wasnt preloaded, i just had a white space until it appeared) the code within the swf obviously has to change. The only problem is, I cant for the life of me work out what it is, I have tried all sorts of combinations and probably missed the most obvious one. I do not want to create empty movie clips, I want the movie to load into the MC which I have defined - holder_mc - and usually I would tell it to unloadClip() before loading the new one, but it cant load a new one if it has unloaded itself. I hope that makes sense!
This is the code I am using on the main timeline to control the preloading of the external swf's:
Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadStart = function() {
holder_mc.stop();
};
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip, loadedBytes:Number, totalBytes:Number) {
pleaseWait._visible = true;
var preloaded:Number = Math.floor(loadedBytes / totalBytes * 100);
preloaderMC._visible = true;
preloaderMC.loadText.text = preloaded.toString() + "%";
preloaderMC.loadBar._yscale = preloaded;
};
loadListener.onLoadInit = function() {
preloaderMC._visible = false;
pleaseWait._visible = false;
holder_mc.play();
};
/**** register listener object with MovieClipLoader object ****/
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
anotherButton.onRelease = function() {
mcLoader.unloadClip(holder_mc);
mcLoader.loadClip("anotherMovie.swf", holder_mc);
}
my preloader is called preloaderMC and pleaseWait is just a movie clip that is placed on the other side of the screen for another reason. loadText and loadBar are the dynamic text and loading bar within the preloaderMC.
I really hope someone can help me ASAP as this was all working before with loadMovie() and now suddenly I cant get it working!
Thanks in advance

I want when clicking on a button that it loads a jpg file and that shows the precentage of load of that same file. I also want to be able to close that image so that I can return to the main site and choose from the thumbnails another image and do the same thing to that image etc etc etc.

What's The Strategy Behind Loading External Image Files?
I got movie clip loader working, and I got as far as randomly loading and displaying files locally. Now if I were to put this up on a server, the situation is diferent. The obvious one being, that movie loader always loads new movies.
So, is the strategy to have a bunch of movie clips loaded, and then to swap them around? Like, if I were to have 5 random images, then maybe I'd load 1 first, display it. Then go back and load the rest into 4 movie clips.
Does that sound just about right? I just sort of assumed that the loader would load the image once and then it'll stay in cache..

Problems With Loading External Sound And Image Files Randomly
If i'll hardcode the path and the file name of the sound file ; I am able to
load the sound file dynamically using flash mx....
for exampl :
mysound.loadSound("an_mp3.mp3");
say I have a folder in the server which has a number of sound files. Now
when the user will play the .swf file from his machine....i want that the
.swf should pick a sound file from the said folder randomly and start
playing.....
After few days I want to replace all the sound files from that folder which
is at server and put few other sound files with different names.... I want
my program to recognise these sound files also and start playing any one of
them randomly when the user opens the .swf from his/her local.
I want this functionality.... without hardcoding the sound file names in my
.fla file.
How to achieve this using Flash MX ?
Thanks in advance...

[F8] External Movie W/ Buttons Need To Link To Another Loaded Movie
Hello fellow Flashers.
I have a file "index.swf" that is my main flash file. I have loaded another flash file "summercamp.swf" into a empty movie clip titled "scEmptyclip" that is located on "index.swf".
On the external loaded "summercamp.swf" I have another external loaded file that is a scroll down menu "scScrollMenu.swf" with buttons that need to link to labeled frames on "summercamp.swf". The empty movie clip that loads the scroll down menu is "sdmEmptyclip".
So the question is how do you code a button in a loaded movie inside an empty movie clip that on release it will unload the movie clip, go back to the "summercamp.swf" loaded movie and play the labeled scene?
If you need to see the site it it:
http://www.chucktropolis.com/alina/
index.swf is the initial animated page with the buttons
summercamp.swf is where the summer theatre camp button takes you
scScrollMenu.swf is the green scroll down menu on the summer camp page.
Any info is greatly appreciated.

Targeting External Files To Text Files In Flash
Gooday all
I am developing a flash site for a movie company and it needs to be 100% dynamic! and must be flash 5 compatible
To put things as simply as I can here goes.
I have a directors page - on this page I have two text fields.
The first text field pulls all the directors names from an external file called directors.html, In this external file I have html hyperlinks which link to each directors bio text (in another external text file), what I want to do is basically target the second text field in flash. i.e. when you are in flash and click one of the directors names his info must appear in the adjacent text field.

How To Link 2 Flash .swf Files Together *
Hi
I am making a Flash portfolio. So far so good except for 1 issue that I've run up against.
I have linked my separate .swf files together using the following script:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("moviefilename.swf", 2);
}
The files are linking, but the problem is that the files are opening on top of each other. In other words, the previous .swf file does not disappear as the new .swf file opens. It opens on top of the last one so the result is a messy layered mess. I thought that keeping the level at 2 would remedy this but no success.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

What I want to achieve is the following :
Propose to our customers, through a newsletter sent by email, a number of products. Depending on the product link clicked, this link will send a variable to the main movie indicating which external movie corresponding to the selected product link to be loaded into the main movie.

If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about can you look into the attached fla. and look at the 'custom' action script and you will see what I mean. Any help is much appreciated and I will admire you for years to come :-)

Load An External Swf Into A Movie Clip With An HTML Link
Hi Guys,
Real basic question, I've already scanned the forums/google but couldn't quickly find what I was looking for.
Here's the breakdown, I have an swf file that basically consists of a mc to be used as a holder. I want to externally load an swf into that mc. Easy enough, problem is, I want to do this from a standard html link on the same page (but obviously, outside of the flash file).
Will this require XML? Or is there a simple command string that will talk to the actionscript within the flash file?

Link From One Flash Files To Another (newbies)
Anyone knows how to link from one flash file with another, or is it possible?
Example, similar like the webpages, when you click on the link it will open the page. Instead of opening a new page, how do i open the current page itself? On the other hand can it also be able to open a new page as well?
If this cannot be done, is there any suggestion that can solve this problem? Currently i've got 2 projects which is done saperately, and i wanted to combine two projects together; instead of copy and paste from one project to another, is there appropriate way to do it?
A big thank you to people who can give answers to this problem.

How Do I Link To Files In A Flash Projector .exe
Hello,
I am creating a flash projector file (.exe) The application that I have created is to be placed onto a CD ROM with an autorun file. At the end of the .exe presentation I need a link that, when clicked, will open another file that resides on that same CD.
That file is called, "index.html".
Relative paths do not appear to work.
Variations of fscommand("exec","") also have not worked.
The closest I have come was with getURL("file:///D:/index.html"). However the problem that lies here is that not everyone has the CD ROM drive as D:.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time.

FLASH - Flv Files & Importing External Files
Note: this is trying to be done all in Flash... please be patient as I have to explain it...
Here's the scenario... I am currently building a website for a coffee company, and as an introduction to their website, they want to play a short clip of 16 seconds, size 350x250 - fine... The real problem is that I have been asked to make it appear as if it was actual footage on TV - in effect, at super high quality with NO (and I mean, NO) Pixelation... very stringent, but they think I can somehow push the boundaries and work something out!! Also they wish for it to play as soon as the website begins (no chance of preloading!!) - without an option for the user to control the film (as in no play/stop/rew buttons, etc.)
In order to create this, I had to use Final Cut Pro - as this was the only program that passed the 'test' for what was asked... the client has a major issue with the 'fade' to black sections of the film - believing them to look as if they are shimmering (this also being the initial problem with building it directly in Flash). I passed this through all types of compression to achieve the smallest possible file (12MG) - and then from Quick Time Pro - I came up with an immaculate looking, but incredibly large flv file - using the export feature. Total... 82MB, yes MB...
Please note, I am fully aware of compression, but have to iterate this incredible request!!
Rather than attach it to the timeline in Flash, I placed the created FLV file in the same folder and requested on the first line of the timeline - through Actionscript - that it plays the FLV 'progressively'. To my understanding, this file should play whilst not having to load up before hand... (learnt of this from Macromedia website.)
I have seen this method used in a few tutorials, but admittedly the file sizes are approximately 5MB...
After uploading the file (took over an hour), I tested the film and it began to play extremely slow and choppy. After 16 seconds (the expected duration of the clip) the next scene in the timeline began !! The film had actually only progressed about 3 seconds into itself....
I don't think I am necessarily doing much wrong as it is the best solution that I could come up with in terms of keeping the final 'SWF' file to a minimum size so a user will not have to wait it to load up (got Flash files to 24MB - but still too long to load up!!!)
Can anyone think of an alternative method to playing an 82 MB file, or is this just plain ridiculous??
I am at a loss because I am still curious to see if this is actually feasible... if so then maybe you will help me push the boundaries of Internet viewing!!!
ALL comments/suggested will be highly appreciated and definitely considered
Okolom
