Flash :: Loaded Movie Actionscript Question...

Actionscript In Loaded Movie...?
Dear Flash User,

I come up with a silly problem. I am not sure what I missed but... I loaded an external movie into my Flash document. I am successful in loading and playing it but the interactivity of the buttons within the loaded movie is lost. It doesn't do what it was suppose to do. I would like to know if we can make the interactivity of the loaded movie work. Please help me in this.

Positioning A Loaded Movie Using Actionscript
Hi! Need a little help on actionscripting...I actually tried to use the flashtyper, but it doesn't seem to work, so i'm trying to do things the long way by downloading the source and loading it as an swf file into the movie that i will be using it in. I was able to load the SWF file into level 1 of my main movie, but not in a target movieclip. It doesn't seem to work right when i load it into a movie clip.

Anyway, i used the load movie script in the first frame to load the movie, and in the second frame, i added a set property script to set the x and y positions of the movie that i loaded. Problem is, the movie loads on the first frame, and plays automatically without following the positions i indicated in the second frame. I tried to move the set propoerty scripts in the first frame, but that doesn't seem to work too. It only follows the set property positions after it played the loaded swf file once.

Is there a way to prevent the loaded movie from playing right away, so that it follows the x and y positions that are indicated on frame 2? I'm just beginning with actionscript and not quite sure if the script i'm doing is right. Maybe i'm lacking a script or something. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!Ü Thanks!

By the way, I'm using flash MX

Mx-04-actionscript In Movie Won't Behave When Loaded Into Empty Mc
I'm trying to load an outside movie (through loadMovie) into an empty movie clip into another movie using a simple button to activate the process. However, after it loads, the outside movie doesn't play how it normally does. The outside movie uses mx.transitions all located on only the first frame. The timing and when each new transition occurs becomes completely off from the original when loaded.

note: This is for a portfolio site (based in flash) and i'm just trying to showcase a banner ad design (the loaded movie). It's not a large file at all.

any input is welcomed!

Anyone can help???

External File's Actionscript Not Working While Loaded In Main Movie-?
This movie is an external swf which is a basic sorta game, the user has to drag and drop the blocks into their correct places to complete the task.

Please have a look at this swf, the fla is too big 2 post.
Basically the problem is: this external file works fine by itself, but when viewed via the main movie when its loaded, it doesn't display the Well Done Clip when all the Drag and Drop buttons are placed in their correct places.

[MX04] Loadmovie-- Actionscript Goes Wacky On Loaded Movie If User Reloads
I'm having an issue with loading a .swf into an empty movieclip. It loads when a button is pushed, however the problem occurs if the user hits the load button again. This sends the actionscript on the movie being loaded to act really weird and do some odd things.

simple actionscript for the button:

on (release) {
_root.holder.loadMovie("newimages/swing/swing1.swf");
}

Should I maybe do a loadMovieNum? and resort to levels? Or is there some script that will unload the movie and then reload it when pressed to get a "clean" version?

(I'm unsure if it makes any difference, but the actionscript on the movie being loaded is all on the first frame and uses mx.transitions.)

Warning: An ActionScript 1.0/2.0 SWF File Has Loaded An ActionScript 3.0 SWF;
Hi all,

I'm trying to clone an swf (produced in CS3) that has been loaded into my app (built using Actionscript/mxmlc) but keep getting the following message appear in my logs:

Code:
Warning: An ActionScript 1.0/2.0 SWF file has loaded an ActionScript 3.0 SWF; code in the ActionScript 3.0 SWF will not run.
I know the CS3 swf has been produced using Actionscript 3 as it's settings and published for FP9. It does nothing more than a motion tween of a graphic.

Here is a really simple example of how to emulate the problem:

ActionScript Code:
package{

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

[SWF(backgroundColor=0x000000)]

public class Test extends Sprite{

private var _mc:MovieClip;

public function Test():void{

var mc:String = "rain.swf";
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();

ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadedSWF);
ldr.load(new URLRequest(mc));
}

private function loadedSWF(e:Event):void{

var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.target.content);

this._mc = MovieClip(new (mc.constructor)());
this.addChild(this._mc);
}

}
}

I'm using the following version of mxmlc: Version 3.0.0 build 1844

I've also tried a slightly more convoluted way:

ActionScript Code:
package{

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

[SWF(backgroundColor=0x000000)]

public class Test extends Sprite{

private var _mc:MovieClip;

public function Test():void{

var mc:String = "rain.swf";
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();

ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadedSWF);
ldr.load(new URLRequest(mc));
}

private function loadedSWF(e:Event):void{

var c:Class = Class(e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition(getQualifiedClassName(e.target.content)));
this._mc = new c();

this.addChild(this._mc);
}

}
}

I would like to know what's causing the warning message, am I doing something wrong?

Preloader In Externally Loaded Swf Stops Working (loaded Into An Empty Movie Clip)
SEE BOTTOM OF THREAD FOR CURRENT PROBLEM

1. I have my navigation buttons in level0

2. When a button is pressed it loads an external .swf into the highest empty level

3. There is an MC in this loaded .swf called loadmovie and inside that another MC called empty.

4. Inside the 'loadmovie' MC, there is a frame action that loads another external .swf file into the 'empty' MC.

The problem I am having is that the preloader that is on the external .swf that is loaded into the 'empty' MC does not work.

It works fine if you test it on its own. But not when loaded into a Movie Clip.

MY SCRIPT:
iBytesTotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
iBytesLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
iBytes = (iBytesLoaded/iBytesTotal)*100;
percentageNumber = Math.round(iBytes)+"%";
setProperty("progressBar", _xscale, iBytes);

Do I have to refrence it differently? Because of where it is situated?

e.g
iBytesTotal = _level32._root.loadmovie.empty.getBytesTotal();

confesed!

Checking If Movie Loaded Into An Instance Has Fully Loaded B4 Playing
Hi,

I'm building a site that streams a series of small movies into some preset into instances on the _root timeline but are paused on an empty frame 1 until needed. So while the first movie is playing the second movie is already being loaded and is cued on frame 1 ready to play.

However, if the timeline tells the loaded movie (i.e. _root.content ) to play frame 2 before this movie has finished loading it will not play. This shouldn't happen because the movie loaded into _root.content should have loaded, but I need a failsafe.

Is there a way to run a routine once the _root timeline is finished to constantly check the status of the movie being loaded in _root.content and then play once it is loaded.

I've tried running this code in a routine:

if (_root.content._framesloaded >= _root.content._totalframes) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2)
}

..but I'm not sure if it will work.

I really want to avoid a preloader (each movie is only about 10k big )

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Playing A Loaded Movie Clip (loaded In A Different Level)
I really don't understand the problem here, I'm loading a swf containing a movie clip with 2 frames with Stop(); on each. The file is loaded on _level5 so I tried this:

Code:
tellTarget (_level5.musicmc) {
gotoAndStop (2);
}

but instead of telling the musicmc movieclip to go to frame 2, it tells it to the main timeline to go to frame 2 and stop...What's the problem, when I use "Debug Movie", I can see the:
_level5
......._level5.musicmc (....... = spaces)

what's wrong, it seems to don't want to tell the MC to go to frame 2. I passed many hours on this simple d*mn thing and I really can't find out...

BTW, I'm using Flash 5

Urgent Loaded Movie Controlling Other Loaded Movi
I need this one done today!

I have two holder movie clips in my main .swf. One is selectloader, the other is normloader.

So selectloader.loadMov..... that works

In the select I load a selection with three boxes, the user chooses one.

When the user clicks one of the boxes I do
_root.normloader.loadMovie...
and it doesn't work!

So I created a new frame on the holder .swf for each of the three buttons so all the selectino has to to is go to another frame.
That works, but I also want each of the boxes to direct to a certain frame in normloader

so the problem comes back again

I can't get one loaded movie to control another loaded movie

I'm assuming it has to do with levels, and I need to do more then just _root.normloader.gotoAndPlay(3);

what do I have to do?

Play A Frame In A Loaded Movie From Another Loaded Swf
this is driving me crazzzzy []
i have the main movie which is 1 frame (containing the menu navagation for the site), under the 1 frame i have an MC (called scoot) that is 8 frames long and each frame has a stop action. I have set the site up to use browser back/forward button <script>
varPass=location.search.substring(1,location.searc h.length); //grab variable from cgiPass
if (parent.main.num == 1)
{parent.main.num = 2;}
else
{parent.main.num = 1;}
parent.main.controlFlash(varPass);//call controlFlash funct in main.html
document.write(varPass); //for testing purposes
</script>

the above script is a sample from the back/forward function/procedure.

Now... I labled the 5th frame of scoot as "map" and under the 5th frame, when it is played, is a button to open another swf, i'll call swf2. In swf2 is a button that i'm trying to action to go back and play map of scoot. But what ever i try nothing seems to work. Swf2 is loaded into level3 of the main movie and the loading action is in the first frame (and only frame) of the main movie. Someone please help me..... ???? Thanks a gekadrazillion in advanced !

Detect When Loaded Movie Is Fully Loaded
hey all,

I am trying to load an external swf into a target. when the swf is completely loaded, i want to execute the next set of actions.

Now here is the bit i'm stuck. I am trying to develop my flash websites so that no coding is done within the child swfs.

so i would assume some code like this would work:

_root.holder.loadMovie ("child.swf");
if(_root.holder.getBytesLoaded ==_root.holder.getBytesTotal){
_execute some other command;
}

However it doesn't work!!!

So is there a way to detect when a specific child swf has fully loaded into a target (not _framesLoaded please!) and then set a variable to allow some other actionscript to kick in?

please help if you know,

using mx btw

cheers,

Kd

Can I Target A Loaded Movie From Another Loaded Movie?
Thanks for reading-

I have a movie that is loaded into my main timeline. Then I need to be able to use the buttons in that movie to target frames in another movie (i.e Use the buttons in one to tell the other loaded movie to goto another frame) seems like a simple task but I havent a clue how to talk to that other .swf since it has no instance name or anything?

Controlling A Loaded Movie From Another Loaded Movie
ok I am loading picture.swf into level 15 on my parent movie.

How To Use A Loaded Movie To Control Another Loaded Movie
First I have to admit that I am new to ActionScript. Now that that is out of the way....

what I am trying to do is minimize the size of the file by using externally-loaded movies into a main movie, and use one externally loaded movie (a Flash drop down vertical menu) to control the movement to different frame labels in the other movie:

I have one main movie as a website background: main.swf
In main.swf, I have 2 empty movie clips that I use as placeholders for other movies to get loaded into
Empty mc No. 1: menu_placeholder - for flash dropdown menu

Empty mc No. 2: content_placeholder - for flash content for webpage, has frame labels

My goal is that when I press the respective button in the menu (which is a loaded movie in placeholder mc No. 1) to change the content (by moving to the next frame label) of the loaded movie placeholder No. 2

I have used the loadMovie function to successfully load both external movies into the respective placeholders, both of which have instance names (vs using level numbers).

My issue is knowing what ActionScript to use (assuming that an onRelease inside the dropdown menu buttons in combination with gotoandPlay) in placeholder 1 (the dropdown menu) to control the movie in placeholder 2 to move from frame label and what is the correct format for the path between placeholder 1 and 2.

Thanx in advance

Unloading A Loaded Movie In The Same Loaded Movie
I have a popup window (separate swf movie) that loads up with its own close button in the main movie. What I need to do is script that close button to unload the whole movie on the level it's in (ie: level5). Basically, unloading its own self from the parent swf.

Every clip is named, but I can't seem to get the unloadMovieNum to work to close its own self.

How To Control A Movie Symbol In A Movie Which Is Loaded Intro Another Movie?
HI guys,
I need help with some script. I have a movie, which is my main movie, and to which I load all other movies, like sound clips, other related movie which load on request. the problem is with the sound movie which I created, it's a separate file and it has a sound loop which starts and then if an button is clicked it stops, and then starts again if the buttons is pressed again. Also in this sound movie I have another movie symbol with audio bars animation which plays only when the sound is playing, and then it stops when the sound is stopped. It works fine with this code:

on (release) {
if (i==1) {
s.start(0,999);
i = i*(-1);
tellTarget ("/sound_bars") {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
} else {
s.stop();
i = i*(-1);
tellTarget ("/sound_bars") {
gotoAndPlay (10);
}
}
}

...on it's own, but when it is loaded into another movie it works only partially, the sound stopps but the audio bar animation which you see here as instance name "sound_bars" is not working, it keeps playing even when the button is pressed. but like I said the sound stopps. So what I need to know is how to control that movie symbol which is inside a movie called soundloop1, which is loaded into my main movie. I know it's a level / tell target issue, but I just cannot figure out how to control it from another movie. If you can help me that would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

Actionscript In Loaded Movies
Hi,

Maybe this has been asked for a thousand times, but it's simple answered...:

Do i use loadMovie(...) or loadMovieNum(...) to keep the actionscript activity alive in the loaded swf-file?
I'd like to use loadMovie for better control of the loaded movie, is that possible somehow?

Thanks alot!

[CS3] Keeping The Actionscript In A Loaded SWF
When I try to load a SWF in a movie clip in another file, some of the action script in the external file won't work when loaded. How can I load it so that it still works like it's supposed to? I'm loading it using this code within the movie clip:

Code:
loadMovie("Puzzle.swf", this);
If I load it to the main time line everything works fine. But then I can't get back where i was on the timelime line with a fade.

Actionscript Problem With Loaded Swf
I have created a small game with many library items and it uses actionscript classes heavily to control movement of particles. Because all of these things need to be loaded on the first frame of the .swf so they can be referenced from the scripts at any time I must use a secondary .swf to load the game into to create my preloader. However I have found that when I do this it seems as if my game can no longer reference the Actionscript classes. I have been working on a fix for this for several days but I am now basically back at square one. Any help would be greatly appreciated as to why this is doing this. If my question isn't clear please let me know.

No ActionScript In Loaded Swf For Other Server

I know you cant include .as files at runtime. Does he mean loading external swfs that are all code, or is there something about loadvars that I dont know...

Actionscript Fails When Loaded To A Target
I have a feedback form in a swf loaded to a target in my main movie. It contains a 2 frame MC that acts as a checkbox. The actionscript that controls this 'checkbox MC' is:-

I can't seem to get it to work... What's the proper syntax if this is possible at all?

Actionscript: Movement Inside Loaded MC
Hey everyone…
I created a “slider” as part of a header for a site I’m building which worked fine until I sectioned off the header, and decided to load that as a separate MC into my main movie. Now the slider doesn’t function, but I’m not exactly sure how to fix it.

The setup: (I’m winging it on the code, because I’m at another computer)

1. A controller MC that does the majority of the work: (Moving from right to left)
Its script:

OnClipEvent (enterFrame) {
If (textMove ==”yes” && Slider._x > 500) {
Slider._x -= 10;
If (textMove ==”no” && Slider._x < 800)
Slider._x +=10;
}

2. The button that triggers rollover
Basically like this, pretty standard:

On (rollover) {
TextMove = “yes”;
}
On (rollout) {
TextMove =”no”;
}

This interacts with the above “Controller MC”
So the point is that basically the whole thing worked when it was set up within my main movie, but now that I’ve made it a separate MC loaded into my man movie, it doesn’t work. My gut tells me that it should be a relatively simple adjustment but I’m not sure where to start. The X and Y coordinates? If so, what do I change them to? What else could the problem be?

Thank you all.

Actionscript Stops Working When Ext. Swf Is Loaded
I have one of those Blarney's type scrollers (buttons move the images to a location and they slow down as they approach their destination). All of it works in the separate swfs, but once I load them into the 'home' swf all the actionscript stops working. So all of the buttons appear, but nothing happens when I click on them.
I've checked the paths, added the path from the true root (the home page), to the blank MC that holds the external files, but it still will not work.
Am I missing something obvious? Everything works perfectly as separate files.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
