How To Load .swf Files In Other .swf Files In HTML Tables?
Ok I need help on figuring out how to place several different flash files in table cells in HTML. basically how to make a flash website, i did the tutorial for it but it just loads .swf files from one movie clip into another. how do you load a .swf file into another .swf file in an html table? for instance say I have 3 rows for my table. each row has one TD cell. inside each cell is one .swf file.

so we have one .swf file in each row. if i click a button in the top row(top .swf file), how do i get it to make a .swf file load into a blank .swf file in the middle row? i want a top menu in flash and i want it to load .swf files into a middle display area. how do i do this with external .swf files that are not all in the same movie? know what i mean? i hope i didnt confuse everyone. basically, can you target a .swf file in a table cell from a .swf file in another table cell? please email me if you know how to help me, thank you I appreciate your time.

Can I Load Movieclips From A Textfile? Or Load Other Text Files?
i am pulling in variables from a text file like so:

on (release){
textbox.loadVariables ("text1.txt");
}

now... my question is... is it possible to load another movie clip from that textfile???

i have a bunch of news headlines that are from a text file, and i want them to link and load another movie clip on another section of my page... i have figured out how to link URL's but i cannot get it to link a movieclip, or, another textfile...

i want the movieclip to load into a already running swf file... is it possible for flash to do this?

any help would be much appreciated.

Load Movie To Load Jpeq Files
Load Movie in MX allows you to load .jpg files dynamically.
In test mode the output window will show you an error if the
file cannot be found.

Is there any way determine if there is a file error when not in
test mode? Is there something equivalent to the LoadVar if (success)?

thanks,

Pre-load .swf Files
Is it possible to preload .swf files in the same manner as images, using code such as:

<script>
function preloadimages(imagesstring){
var imagesarray;
var count;
imagesarray=imagesstring.split(",")
for(count=0;count<imagesarray.length;count++)
newimage=new Image();
newimage.src=imagesarray[count];
}
</script>

<body onload="preloadimages('file_01.swf,file_02.swf,fil e_03.swf,file_04.swf,');">

i know it won't work using this exact code but is there something similar for flash files?

thanks!

My SWF Files Do Not Load
Hey,

I uploaded a website www.brickhousestudio.com and two of my swf import files do not work. When I run the html on my computer everything is fine, however it is not the case when I send it to the host. I have three buttons that load swf's and only one works. I don't think I did anything different with the two malfunctioning buttons or swf's.

Please help... anything is appreciated

thanks

Load Other Swf Files In One Swf
I have a website goin on right now, and I have cartoons I want to play on the flash website. Do any of you guys know how to load and play other swf movies into another swf file??

Files Don't Load
I have a movie that works just fine locally on my computer. When you open the movie it opens a menu. The menu is used to open other swf files (using the loadMovie function).

When I gave the movie to another person, it worked fine locally on their machine. When the person copied and pasted the folders onto their server problems occurred. All of the menu links work fine, except the first link. It won't open the other swf file. All of the files are on the server in the appropriate folder.

My first thoughts were that I had some sort of absolute link for the first menu item, but then I realized that it ran fine on the other person's machine before it was up on the server. Why will this work locally, but not from the server?

Load Txt Files
Hey.

I was wondering if you could import *.txt files into flash. I have done it once before, but have forgotten now. I think it is something like

loadMovieNum("*.txt", 1);

But I then cant remember how to put that text onto a dynamic text field. On the text file i have got a prefix of '&data='. Does that do anything? If anyone can help, or tell me what I am doing wrong, please do.

Thank you

Ten XML Files To Load
My problem:
I have multiple XML files to load and each must pass a param to the loadedXML function below. How do I do this correctly. I have the loading part down, but I cannot get the param to pass.

ActionScript Code:
function loadedXML(success:Boolean, prefix:String) {
clearInterval(intervalID);
if (success) {
var xmlRootNode:XMLNode = this;
// number of works
totalWorks = xmlRootNode.firstChild.childNodes.length;
// fill arrays
for (var i = 0; i < totalWorks; i++) {
_root[prefix + '_thumb_arr'].push(xmlRootNode.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue);
_root[prefix + '_main_arr'].push(xmlRootNode.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue);
_root[prefix + '_caption_arr'].push(xmlRootNode.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue);
}
if (++xml_files_loaded == xml_files_total) {
gotoAndStop(3);
} else {
my_txt.text = "loading external content: " + xml_files_loaded + ' / ' + xml_files_total;
my_txt.setTextFormat(rrie_0_fmt);
}
} else {
trace("couldnt load this XML_file: " + prefix);
}
}
var tr_sec_1_xml:XML = new XML();
tr_sec_1_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
tr_sec_1_xml.load(imageRoot_arr[2] + productXML_arr[2] + '1' + '.xml');
tr_sec_1_xml.onLoad = loadedXML('tr_sec_1');
I was trying to feed another param to the onLoad function but it wouldnt take anything else except its "success" param. And I know that its clearly wrong (the prefix param that is)

Load Order For Several Swf Files
I'm trying to put my portfolio site that I've designed into Flash. The only problem is that I have a rather large width planned for the site... As the Flash stage can only reach a maximum width of 2880 pixels I'm wondering how I can have several Flash swfs load in the order i want them to, say from left to right.
The problem lies in the fact that my site at the minute stretches to a whopping 20,000 pixels and will take 7 Flash 5 stages to cover this. I have initially thought of the 7 swfs taking a section of the site each, but the problem remains in the loading of these seperate files... and i was wanting to know if there is any way that i can stipulate the order in which these are to load, instead of all of them loading at the same time,i.e. swf1 loads then swf2 begins to load, then 3 then 4 and so on... so that the narrative sequence is still there.
Thanks alot in advance.

How To Load Text Files?
what is the simplest way to load an external file into a text field within flash mx 2004?

Trying To Load External Swf Files From A CD
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm attempting to load external swf files into a Projector that's being loaded to a user's hard drive. The hitch is that the swf files will reside on a CD-ROM that will need to be loaded into the user's machine.

My question is whether or not anyone can tell me how to determine the letter designation of the user's CD drive in order to set the correct pathnames for loading those swf files. I'd prefer to use relative paths but am stumped on that one too. By the way, the target users will be using a PC and not a Mac (though I'm developing on a Mac).

I feel like an idiot for asking but need help in order to give the client what they're asking for.

Please let me know if I'm not giving enough info.

Thanks!

Automatically Load Swf Files.
Hi there.

I'm a Newbie, so bear with me!

I've just started using Flash in my website:

www.angelfire.com/jazz/sitesound

I'm able to get a sample to load when a button is pressed. However, I'd like it to load automatically when the page loads. I'm using the soundnails program player which seems to work well.

I've heard of a "Preloader", but I'm not sure what it does. Can it be used to preload files when the page opens?

There must be some code to enable this, can anyone help me please...
Any help would be really great as I'm struggling!

Regards

Mark

Load Multiple XML Files
Hello,

I need to load a large amount of datas into an XML object.
My files are like this:
XML CODE of file1.xml

Code:
<collection1>
<item_1>data_1</item_1>
<item_2>data_2</item_2>
...
<item_x>data_3</item_x>
</collection1>

XML CODE of file2.xml

Code:
<collection2>
<item_1>data_1</item_1>
<item_2>data_2</item_2>
...
<item_x>data_3</item_x>
</collection1>etc...

I first tried to merge all my files (file1.xml, file2.xml, etc.) into 1 big XML file but when I use this method:

Code:
myXML = new XML();
myXML.load("myBigFile.xml");

I get an error because of the SWF taking more than 15 seconds to load the fileThen, I tried to load 1 file after the other:

Code:
myXML.load("file1.xml");
myXML.load("file2.xml");
etc...

but of course, only the last one is loaded

Thanks to help me doing this using the separated files (file1.xml, file2.xml, etc.) and load the datas into ONE XML OBJECT (myXML)

Thanks

How Do I Down Load .zip Files From Flash MX?
Hi All,

I’ve be researching how to download .zip files on a server from a link in flash. When the swf is on my computer the getURL call works fine. When the swf is on the server it no longer opens the zip file. I get this error message:

Action canceled

Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable.

I have come across some documentation that has a solution in Flash version 8. I need to implement this in Flash 6. Do you have some insight into this or can you point me in the right direction?

[F8] Load/Link .swf Files
Here's my problem. I want to link a series of .swf files together and they seem to terminate after I load more than one. Basically I have a list of files:
and these are the .swf and .fla files I want to link. What I do, is on the link I use this command:

Quote:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("home");
}

Then at the frame "home" I run this command:

Quote:

stop();
_root.home.loadMovie("cosmeticsmenu.swf");

Then, I make a movieclip on the stage named "home" and it works when I load just one movie, but if I click another link that is setup the same way, the screen doesn't load, it just stays white.

Here is a link to a blog I made, which is a visual link of it: LINK

Load Image Files
I am creating a game where the user can upload a photo of him/herself. I want the convenience of a File Open Dialog using some type of browse, but Flash 8 holds the path to the file a deep dark secret from me (FileReference API), thus I can't use loadClip() to get that image... the choice I am looking at is making the player type in the file path of the image, which isn't easy for the non-computer-savy types. Anyway of browsing for a image then showing it? (btw: I don't want to have to upload it to a server or have anything to do with a server)

Thanks in advance for any help!

[F8] Load External SWF Files
Hey guys,
My main goal here is to load external SWF files such as waepons and armor to a charecter. Right now i am having trouble with loading an external SWF and placing it into postion. here is the code i am using.

Code:

// Container's positions on stage
container._x = 100;
container._y = 100;

// Load external SWF

}

When i use this the SWF does not appear on the correct X and Y axis.

I also want to know if i can have a MC already created and load the external SWF to the MC I already have and keep it postion.

-Thanks to anyone who helps
