Flash :: Load External Txt

Load External SWF1, Then Load External SWF2
I'm trying to load two different swfs, one after the other. After the first swf is loaded into it's own container (containerA) and is displayed to the viewer, I want to load the second SWF into its container (containerB) which will end up on top of the first SWF (the first SWF acts as a background layer).

Here is my code:
Code:

var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);

myListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, loadedBytes:Number, totalBytes:Number) {
loadText._visible = true;
var preloadPercent:Number = Math.round((loadedBytes/totalBytes) * 100);
loadText.text = preloadPercent + "%";
};

myListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
loadText._visible = false;
}
//load in first swf
myMCL.loadClip("sand.swf", "loadBackground");

It makes sense to me to use an if statement, indicating "if sand.swf is loaded completely, the go ahead and load in movie.swf". But I everything that I have attempted fails. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I can load in the second movie after the first one has been successfully loaded in.

Perhaps it's a matter of loading them at the same time, then displaying one after the other? I don't know.

Need help!

Load Load External Swf Movies And Paly At Same Time?
Hi. I am new here and i am desperate to have my problem solved please. I have an html page with 2 swf movies that should be playing at the same time (one shows logo of a company and the other shows at the same time the company's products). the problem is althought they are synchronized when played on my pc, when loading via internet they doen't play at same time because one is much bigger than the other and takes more time to load and play. so i thought of making a dummy swf movie that loads both swf movies and make them play at same time. Can anyone help me with the script needed for this? or is there a script that can be used on one movie and make it play only when the other one is fully loaded? please help !! thanks in advance!

Load External Text Inside An Already Loaded External Movie
here's the problem as simply as I can explain it.
there's a main.swf, a news.swf and a text.txt
the news.swf is loaded into the main.swf and I want to load the text.txt into the news.swf

everything works when I just load the text into the news.swf without loading it into the main.swf, so I know the text.txt part is loading.

[F8] External Text Files Wont Load Into External Swf File...
Hi,

I'm making a Flash website in Flash 8 (mac).

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.

One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.

I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004. The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.

Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

I've attached the files in question. Its a 200kb ZIP download. Do tell me if you need to know more.

Thanks

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 have a html formatted external text file and i want to call from this a external swf movie like

Code:
<a href="loadMovieNum("products.swf",10)">products</a>

But still get not the trick how to..?

I tried this:
in 1. Frame of movie i placed:

Trigger External Swf To Load Into Main Swf From Button In Another External Swf
I'm really stuck with this and it seems like such a simple problem to solve.

I am trying to get a nav button in one movie (main_nav.swf) to target a my main movie (index.swf) and load a sub nav movie (metals_subnav_infinite.swf) into it. The sub nav movie will do a similar task - loading a portfolio swf into main movie (index.swf).

Here is the file breakdown of my working files:

index.swf - main final movie which loads "main_nav_infinite3.swf" on start

main_nav_infinite3.swf - loads main nav "main_nav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely (infinite menu)

main_nav.swf - main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav "metals_subnav_infinite.swf" to load into index.swf

metals_subnav_infinite.swf - loads sub nav "metals_subnav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely

metals_subnav.swf - sub nav with buttons that trigger "folio.swf" (have not created this file yet!) to load into "index.swf"

The script I was focusing on is in main_nav.fla and it is:

metals_mc_bn.onRelease = function() {
reActivateMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(3);
this.enabled = false;
_level1.sub_nav_content_mc.loadMovie("metals_subna v_infinite.swf");
};

I haven't yet activated all the buttons yet just the "Metals" button as the first to get working.

I have attached the FLAs.

exxie!

eg. <a href=" gotoFrame 2 and load another ext txt file">

What do you guys think, love to know any suggestions

External Clip, External Variables Don't Load
hi all,

I'm having some trouble with external variables and external movie clips. I have a main movie, and one part of it is an external movie, the main movie has a bunch of variables stored in a text file. This works fine. The external movie also has a bunch of variables in a different text file. When I play the external movie on it's own it works fine too. When I load the external movie from my main movie, the movie loads but the variables don't. Is there a special way to do this with more movies, do I have to load variables on different levels or something?

I generally use this to load variables

loadVariables ("roznet.txt", "");

I have tried using absolute paths as well (http://) but the same thing. It works by itself but when it is within my main movie the variables don't load. Any ideas? Thanks.

Loading External Swf Which Load External Txt File
Hi,
My main movie loads an external swf with the following:
code:
createEmptyMovieClip("contRight_mc", 5);
contRight_mc.loadMovie("contHome.swf");
contRight_mc._x = 485;
contRight_mc._y = 0;

contHome.swf loads an external text file and stylesheet:
code:
loadVariablesNum("contHome_no.txt", 0);

globalStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();
globalStyle.load("global.css");
hdrHome00_txt.styleSheet = globalStyle;

hdrHome00_txt is a dynamic text field with the variable hdrHome00, which is used in the loaded text file:

hdrHome00=<html><body><hdr>text</hdr></body></html>

All files are currently in the same directory. When I test contHome.swf (the swf loaded by the main movie), everything works. But when I test the main movie the text does not load, or at least it does not show up as I receive no errors in the output window, and I can't figure out why. Can anyone help?

External Swf File Does Not Load External Text
Hi,
I have an external text file that loads dynamically in my swf file.
It uses the actionscript:

loadVariables("joblist.txt","_root");

When I play the swf it works perfectly with the text scrolling in the dynamic text field, but when I load this swf file into my main swf file with loadMovie, the text does not appear.
I have tried embedding the fonts in both files, but it still does not show up when loaded into the main movie.
Can anyone help me with this?

Can I Load An External SWF Into A Container MC From Another External SWF (NAV)? HELP
DETAILS:

Main Movie contains two empty MCS one instance is called container and the other nav_container.

When the movie first loads, it preloads on frame 1, and then goes to frame two. Frame two has an action to load some sound, and the home_nav.swf file into the load_movie.swf file's nav_container.

This is where I run into my problem. From the home_nav.swf file, I have some script on my buttons. The buttons call an external file swf (subpage - content) to load into container MC (on load_movie.swf timeline). I cannot get the script to call in these subpages! Here is the script I used:

on (release) {
_root.container.loadMovie("social.swf");
}

I assume it's a path issue? I feel like i have tried everything...i'm sure it's something simple that I missed.

I appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Valerie

On External Swf Stop; Load New External Swf
Ok I've searched the tutorials and forums to no avail so here goes.

I have a splash intro/logo swf that when clicked plays to the end and stops. Then I have another swf that I want to load and play when the first intro swf is finished. But I don't want the second swf to be visible during the splash intro swf screen.

I've tried using tsomething like this

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
if (this.instance._currentframe == 140)
{
loadMovie("blah",3)
}
}

but it seem that at the time the MC enters the frame the intro swf isn't at frame 140 then it doesn't ever go back and check, so it seems I need to make a loop to keep checking to see what frame the intro swf is at but I'm not sure how to do that? is it a "for" statement or a "do while"?

thanks a bunch,
Ethan

Load External SWF In Main From External SWF...
Ok,

Here's my problem...

Can someone explain to me how to load an external swf from an external Swf into the main, and what level it should go on? My example:

I have a main where MENU loads as an external SWF on the initial load... On MENU there is a button to load GALLERY back into the main... I want it to replace level 1. I have placed an empty container for the GALLERY with the instance name "mygallery" on my main. What is the code to put on the button... so far I have:

on (release)
{
_root.mygallery.loadMovie("gallery.swf", 3);
}

I am calling this to load on level 3... should I be doing that? Also, could someone please tell me what code I should have on my main for the container. I have:

createEmptyMovieClip("gallery_holder", 3);

I hope I explained this well enough, I'm kinda new at this and trying to learn my best... THANKS!

Load External Swf W/ External Doc Class
Hi guys, i'm new here to the forum so please be gentle :-)

I've recently made the plunge to AS3 and the OOP environment and i'm having this little headache... I have two SWFs, a main one a module i want to load in to the main one... both have their own document classes... the Module SWF, in turn accesses several external AS files in the same directory structure as my Main SWF...

Both individually compile and work fine.... but when i load the Module SWF into my main SWF project i get this message:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Module$iinit()

Which i guess is flash trying to tell me that it can't access the Module's SWF's document class?

I have read around on this subject and i think it's something to do with setting the class path for my project... so i did that in the publish settiings of the main flash flash file on the AS3 button, set the class path to include the same folder as the document class for the Module SWF, but still the same error...

Anybody have an idea what could be going on here?

Thanks,

N.

:D Pre-Load/Loading (external .swf) To (external.swf) Need A
Well I have 3 flash files:

PRELOADER.SWF (Containing the loading bar)
Index1.swf (actionscript to load PRELOADER.SWF and to move onto Index2.swf..
Index2.swf Main splash page to site.

Heres the actionscript:

Code:

stop();
//-------------------------<MCL>-------------------------\
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
//-------------------------</MCL>-------------------------\
myListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc, loadedBytes, totalBytes) {
_level50._visible = true;
_level5._visible = false;
var preloadPercent:Number = Math.round((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
_level50.preloader.gotoAndStop(preloadPercent);
};
myListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc) {
_level50._visible = false;
_level5._visible = true;
_level5.play();
};
myMCL.loadClip("preloader.swf", 50);
// trigger the MCL to load this:
myMCL.loadClip("index2.swf", 5);

Problems ?

Well It works in Firefox BUT the loading bar is in reverse ?? Its actually degrading the fill of the bar instead of increasing.

In I.E. it loads ok first time but still Loading Bar in reverse. Also if you reload page bar is still visisble..

I presume my coding isn't correct and its a simple fix.. Please send me correct code I presume its a simple fix and just a bug with my loading bar code.

Thanks .

Help Trigger External Movie To Load From Button In Another External Movie - Stuck
I really hope someone can help me!!!

I am loading movie C.swf into movie B.swf which gets loaded into movie A.swf the main movie. All loading works except C.swf has buttons that need to trigger another movie E.swf to load into A.swf and that is not working!!!

Here is the structure I am using:

A.swf (main final movie loads B.swf on start)
B.swf (loads main nav C.swf and scrolls it infinitely)
C.swf (main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav E.swf to load into A.swf)
E.swf (sub nav with buttons that trigger F.swf to load into A.swf)
F.swf (scrolling images of portfolio)

The actionscript I am using for the button in C.swf to trigger E.swf to load into the main movie A.swf is:

metals_mc_bn.onRelease = function() {
reActivateMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(3);
this.enabled = false;
loadMovieNum("E.swf", 1); // trigger sub nav E.swf to load into A.swf
};

I am so stuck with this and seems so simple a problem, but I'm just pulling hairs out at this point, can anyone please help me!

How To Load External .swf's On Top Of Each Other?
Hey Guys,

I've got a setup similar to what's currently on the Macromedia's site right now (www.macromedia.com).

I have a menu, with a nav on the left that you can select from. Upon clicking on any link, an independent movie is loaded and animated across the screen (a wash effect from left to right).

Now this works well by itself for each link. But if I click on one link, then a different one, the movie is loaded below the current movie, so you don't see it. What I want to do is have the new movie be on top everytime.

Here is my current script for the 'on (release)':

loadMovie ("championway.swf", "championway");

Obviously, the "championway" is an empty movie clip I placed on the main stage for the swf to load into.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ed

Load Several External Swf
Hi, i am working on a main swf which it will be the main stage, using loadMovie & target/ ( with some empty clips on the main stage ) I make the user load external swf in the same location ( main stage)
My problem (as i guess you already realize i am not an expert) is that some of those movies starts and ends after few seconds and some others remain on the main stage as i script it but if an user is in rush and starts clicking everywhere it make the main stage load several swf at the same time. I was thinking pressing a new buttons was also make the esisting swf disappear.
I hope some of you can understand .

Load External .exe
I think I've read every message here about this topic and I still don't get it. All I want to do is open Adobe Photoshop from my hard drive using a button I made in Flash. I saved the Flash file as a windows projector put it in a folder called "flash". Then within that folder is another folder called "fscommand". In this folder i put my photoshop.exe
I then used the following code (attached to the button) to call on photoshop:

on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "photoshop.exe");
}

I get nothing. Am I missing something? I appreciate anyone who might be able to give me some insight on this. And please use nice, plain english. You know, talk to me like I'm a 5 year old.

Load External SWF
Hi guys, sorry if the answer to this exists, looked but could not find. I am using Flash MX and need to do the following

I have 2 swf files, swf #1 is called password, swf #2 is called main.

What I want to do is the user will open password.swf and have to enter the right password. If the password is right the user should be sent to frame 1 of the 2 swf file (main.swf) while the first swf file is unloaded completely (i.e user now in swf number 2 "main").

What I have set up now does not work because Main.swf loads up but it loads overtop of Password.swf (still visible).

What I have so far:
on (release) {
if (pw eq "pass") {
unloadMovieNum("Password.swf");
loadMovie("Main.swf", 0);

} else {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

Thanks for the help!!!!!

Load External Swf?
What code should I apply to an invisable hit box to make it say "Open an external swf at this target"?

External SWF's Load, But Sometimes Don't
I have a movie with this code on a frame that also has a stop action.

_root.songlist.songbox.songmc.loadMovie("pickofthe week.swf");
_root.songlist.songbox.cdmc.loadMovie("pickofthewe ekcd.swf");

As soon as the frame is reached, these two external SWF's should load. They do....most of the time. However once in a while, they won't load, until the page is refreshed. Even if it's on a machine that has already seen the movie.

Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks

Load An External Swf..... Any Help?
hey.. i need to load an external swf into my main movie. and im stumped, cant get it to work for me

i kno someone has asked this before but i cant seem to find it

ne hoo assuming that the main movie loads this swf...if there is a preloader in that swf..will it seem as if it is preloading on the screen.? if that makes sence?

MC's And External SWF's Keep Trying To Load.
I have a movie that opens using a one MC's and a couple of external SWF's using loadMovie. Once these have loaded, the main timeline has a STOP action. This frame is labled "white".

The next few frames each have their own label. For discussion sake, lets say these are labled "green", "red", "blue" and "yellow", in that order. On the frame labled "red", I have a button that when clicked, takes the user to the frame labeled "blue" or "yellow", depending on whats entered into the input text fields. SO far everything works great!

The problem comes into play when I want to take someone back to an earlier point on the time line. On both the "blue" and "yellow" frames, I have a button that when clicked takes the user to the frame labeled "green". Green is a frame located on the timeline AFTER all the MC's and external SWF's have loaded but before red blue or yellow. Despite the fact that the green frame is located after all MC's and externalk SWF's have loaded (with a stop action on that frame), when I click the buttons on blue or yellow to take me to the green frame, all the MC's and external SWF's load again...something I want to avoid.

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

Thanks
