Loading Extrenal .swf's?
I am trying to load an external .swf with the click of a button..It is not working.
The caode I have is:
On release....

_root.blank.loadMovie("gallerytest.swf")

Also...I have another on release function on the button too...should these be two different on release commands..or just one? I have made a "BLANK" MC and dragged it to the main satge..so all external .swf's can be loaded there...buit it is not working! Thanks all help appreciated.

When i click te button I get this error (when I am testing movie through FLASH)

Extrenal AS 2.0 Files
Am I correct in thinking that I need the 2004 pro version to edit the external actionscript .as files?

Casue that blows if it's true. When I go file > new I only have flash document available in the list, and some templates.

Any hope for me?

If/Else - PHP - Extrenal Variables >.<
I need some help with this little gamish thing im working on.
Alright heres what im doing.
First im doing a querystring on a flash file like so.
http://stickthemepark.com/sda/test.swf - Should send you to the error clip
http://stickthemepark.com/sda/test.swf?id=1- Should send you to the boom clip
http://stickthemepark.com/sda/test.swf?id=2 - Should send you to the rar clip
The flash actionscript then includes the variables from test.php?id= ID
It then loads fine but the if statement dosnt seem to like it, or atleast send it to the clip.

PHP Code:

stop();loadVariablesNum("test.php?id=""+id+""", 0, "POST");if (text == "boom"){gotoAndPlay("boom");}else if (text == "rar"){gotoAndPlay("rar");}else{gotoAndPlay("error");}

Preloading Extrenal Files
Hi, I was wondering if theres any way to GetBytesTotal and Loaded of an eternal swf file that gets loaded into a target, not level.

So basically if I load the external movie into "_root.holder"

Is it possible to get a correct reading of _root.holder.getBytesTotal ?

Or is my only option to have the preloaded inside every external swf

TIA

Running An Extrenal Swf At 12fps Rather Than 30-40fps.
I have a main .swf that is a container for an external swf. The main swf runs at 40fps or so. So consequently, the external swf also runs at 40fps. I would like to have the external swf run at a mere 12fps because the swf contains a video. How can i make it so that the external swf runs at only 12fps? Thanks for your time and support

Loading Random Extrenal Movies
Hi there,

Can someone please help me. This is really urgent.
I need to randomly load an external swf into the main movie each time the browser is refreshed. I have three external swfs so far.

when loading individual external swfs, I normally create an empty movie clip on the main movie and call the external swf by using the _root.emptymovieclip command

Is the same principal used for calling external swfs randomly?

Thanks heaps,

Controling Extrenal Sound On Other Server
Hi!

I have a little player that loads a sound when the page is open.
My problem is i can't control the sound with the play and stop button because my sound is on another server than the movie....

When the sound is on the same server everything works fine....

I need a solution for sounds on other servers...

in flash :
first frame: host.host2.loadMovie(sound);

html page : player.swf?sound=http://www.yahoo.com/mysound.swf

all i want to do is to be able to stop and play the sound

on the stop button:
on (release) {
_root.host.host2.stop();
}

on the play button:
on(release){
_root.host.host2.play()
}

Loading In Extrenal Swfs With A Twist
Hi

I have a series of buttons that when clicked load in external swfs, all works great no probs but

with certain buttons I don't want to load in any swf but I also want the currently loaded in swf to disappear.

I could do this by creating a blank swf and loading that in but is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks

Revised FLA File, Need Heal Loading Extrenal SWF
Hey,

I fixed my main .fla file so now its a bit more organized.
What I am trying to accomplish is to load an external .swf file in my main .swf file but for some reason it will not work.

On the _root I have one main mc called "main_mc". Inside that mc are a bunch of additional mc's that have tween animations within each one. I got the stop function to work when you rollover the mc's but what I need to do now is have each one load an external .swf file each time your rollover. I also need to mention that I need the external .swf to unload if you rollover a different mc.

Hope that makes sense.

You can take a look at the source file if you wish. I uploaded it here:

http://www.infernostudio.com/downloads/main-2.zip

I added an external .swf file for test purposes called "loaded.swf".

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Can someone please take a look?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

+ Sign In Extrenal Text File Doesn't Work
Hi I'm working on an updatable website. Wich read external txt files.

Any suggestions????

Dynamic Textfield Display Error - Text From Extrenal Source Does Not Show Entirely
Hi!

I have a dynamic text filed. I use LoadVars to load its text. After loading it, I pass the value of the variable (e.g. MyLoadVars.mytext) to the textfield (MyTextField.text = MyLoadVars.mytext).

It is important that the MyLoadVars.mytext variable (the text I want to show) is relatively long, e.g. more than 1500 characters.

The textfield gets the data, it has all the characters in the MyTextField.text parameter.

However, the display is wrong: I can only see a truncated text, about 2-300 characters in the Flash Movie. After a manual refresh, I mean, right-click and Zoom in, or if the text is selectable, selecting it - it displays the whole text.

But I would naturally like the whole text to be shown instantly...

Anyone knows why this delayed display happens?

Thanks for the help!

Loading Extrenal Text Into The Custom Scrollbar Made In Kirupa's Tutorial.
Well, that title was a mouthful...
Anyways, I've tried five different tutorials for laoding external text now, and none of them work with the custom scrollbar.

What i currently have is a dynamic textbox in the content movieclip in the scrollbar.
the code for the frame is:

Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText.text = this.content;
}
myData.load("menucontent.txt");
And yes, the textbox has a instance name, and a variable name.
Does anyone know what I'm donig wrong?
