Loading Frames With Buttons In Flash
I have flash swf file set up on a frame. (HTML Dreamweaver) I call it 'timeline' and within this swf there are buttons. Now my question is
how can i set up a webpage were the lower timeline swf stays put but when buttons are activated it loads another swf file above timeline in another frame, but still have timeline swf reload or have it load another page.
I want it so that when a button is pushed an swf file is loaded into a frame above the timeline swf with out affecting the position of were the person is at in the timeline swf.

also i have been able to give an onRelease event to a button and have it load a target swf but it loads and replaces the timeline swf

Any Help?

thanks

Flash Button Loading Two Html Frames In Two Different Framesets
Hi All,

I have a button and am trying to accomplisg this:
code:
on(release){
getURL("javascript:window.self.location='frameset. htm'","mainFrame");
getURL("javascript:window.self.location='lifestyle .htm'","contentFrame");
}
I have a 3 column framset. The mid column is named "mainFrame".
I want to load a new frameset ("frameset.htm") into "mainFrame", then load a page ("lifestyle.htm") into a frame ("contentFrame") in the new frameset.

The script above loads the frameset fine. but it doesn't load "lifestyle.htm" into "contentFrame", but in a new browser window.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your time.

Loading Frames
I know this must be very simple because I see it on every movie!

How do you write the code which makes my movie (which has several scenes) load a specified amount (say the first 1 or 2 scenes) before starting to play (or whatever is best to make the thing work).

Whenever I try, it never seems to load properly before launching into the movie proper. Result is the viewer has problems with the movie not working correctly. Once its been up for a while it's OK.

I see people with complex bars that even show the percentages loaded. That'd be great!

Also, is there any way to make a button which takes a viewer to the previous scene they viewed - as opposed to the last one in the scene list?

Pre-Loading Frames
Can someone help me out. When I use:
---------------------------------------------
if (_framesloaded == _totalframes) {
gotoAndStop(35);
}
---------------------------------------------

The movie works properly and loads the movie before playing, however, I want only to load up to a certain frame (example)

---------------------------------------------
if (_framesloaded = 70) {
gotoAndStop(35);
}
---------------------------------------------
However, this does not work. Am I assigning the frame number wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Loading Frames From Xml
Am I trying to do the impossible here or is it just rare?
I cant find any tutorials or advice about this anywhere (that I have looked!)

All I want to do is to have an XML file with a list of images - frames for an animation - and load them into a Movie Clip and play it.

That's all, nothing fancy, nothing clever (yet) but can I figure it out?!
Heck no

Anybody want to point me in the right direction or point me to the nearest bar.....

I would then turn up the contrast to define the form and shapes and then trace in flash or freehand. Hereby creating a frame by frame animation.

OK that's an idea, how do I do that the best way? (and quick?)

[F8]Loading Into Targets From Other Frames
Hey- I've recently learned how to load an external image or .swf into a target (i.e. an empty movie clip or containerClip). It works fine until I try to have a button load an external file into a containerClip that resides in a different keyframe. In other words, one would click button instance "myBtn" in frame 1 and it should:

a) bring you to frame 45 on the root timeline

AND

b) load an .swf into the containerClip which resides in frame 45

I can't get it to work!

(Once I've got that down I've got to somehow attach a preloader to it, but let's just solve the first problem for now!)

Loading Movie On Different Frames
I have a banner that plays from frame 1. I want to play it only on the home page of my site. After the home page I want the banner to start on frame 120.

I can not figure out how to do this through actionscript. The easy solution would be to make a different swf file for the pages other then the home page BUT I am working with a template which forces the same file to be on all pages. Therefore, actionscript is really the only way I can think of to accomplish this. Please Help.

Loading MP3s To Different Frames
Hello all. I have loaded an external MP3 with a preloader using the code below, but I want to load different MP3s to other frames when I navigate to the frame. What code would I need to do on the other frames to load the MP3s and have the progress loader gauge the progress. Many thanks in advance.

Code:
stop();
var song:String = "songs/song1.mp3";
var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(song);
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
var channel:SoundChannel;
sound.load(soundReq);

sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

function onComplete (event:Event):void {
channel = sound.play(0,1);
channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, finishHandler, false, 0, true);
}

//---loader---
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(soundReq);

myloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progresshandler);
function progresshandler(myevent:ProgressEvent):void {
var myprogress:Number=myevent.target.bytesLoaded/myevent.target.bytesTotal;
bar_mc.scaleX=myprogress;

Loading Images In Different Frames..
Hello,

what I want to do is:

Load a number of external images i.e. "image0.jpg" to "image20.jpg". However i want to load them inside a movie clip Container's relevant frames...

So as image0.jpg will be loaded in Container's frame 1,
image1.jpg will be loaded in Container's frame 2,
image2.jpg will be loaded in Container's frame 3, ...

As if I had an images' container containing an image for each of its frame...but do that dynamically..

Hope you get the idea...

I was just wandering how I should go about it.....

I though of having a Container mc and nested Containers for each frame of the container...but then I should have a fixed number of frames..and I don't want that...There should be a way to "add" frames dynamically, that I am not aware of...please help

Thanks!!!

Loading PHP Data In Different Frames
Hey there,

I have a problem with building my website. I use a Mysql database in which I made a table with text lines. In my flash site i used a loadVars to read the a php file. This works fine for the first frame. The problem is that i don't know how change the data in a next frame.

The loadVars runs when loading the site. When the button is pressed to go to the next page the movie goes to frame 2. The text for this page is the second database line, but only the first database line is shown.

I hope someone can give me a hint how to adjust this.

Loading Specific Frames...
EDIT - I just copied this part from my other thread becuase i realised it is an entirely new question in itself :D

Morning all (well it may not be morning for some of you...oops lol)

I had some inspiration last night for some future development.

I was thinking that for the home page navigation I could have three buttons:

Guitars, Contact & Order, Lessons.

Then when you clicked the "guitars" button it would open but the guitars section which would have the buttons that are currently on the navigation at the moment.

Now I have an idea how to do this, and yes it maybe that I use just one extra scene with the other buttons on, or...and possibly much easier, is have it on the same scene just on some later frames, so its a simple gotoAndPlay command, what I want to know is when im using my back buttons to open the new fla, can I tell it where abouts to go and play? obviously the back button on the electric guitars will not take you back to the home page now, but the "guitars" page.

If that makes sense, im pretty sure its a simple piece of code but im not sure if its possible?

Frames Loading Problem
I have a page made up of 3 html pages set out in frames,
which are 3 html files are top,main and screen (.htm)

the top frame is just a header with data "This is my site", "u are welcome...etc."

the main frame consists of links which are targetted on the page "screen.htm" page

the code frameset is :

<frameset rows="10,90" framespacing="1" frameborder="0" border="0">
<frame name="top" src="top.htm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" border="0"scrolling="no" noresize>

<frameset cols="22,78" framespacing="1" frameborder="1" border="1">
<frame name="main" src="main.htm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" border="0" scrolling="no" noresize>
<frame name="screen" src="screen.htm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" border="0" scrolling="auto" noresize>
</frameset>

Now, the screen.htm has javascript loaded in it... which displays a javascript prompt and asks for a name of the person and then using document.write() writes it down to the form "screen.htm"

Now i don't want the other 2 forms to be loaded before the write instr. is executed in the screen.htm
After which i would want to load the main.htm first and then the top.htm (Is there any method to load the frames in order?)

Loading HTML Pages Into Frames ?
Ok. I am working on a Flash navigation bar where I need to target or load to HTML pages onto a frame set. Basically my navigation bar is on the top frame. From there I need to load HTML content onto my body frame (middle frame) and footer (button frame) when I click to one of the buttons from my flash navigation bar, which again is located at the top frame of my frame set.

Some how when I tell Flash I need to load 2 pages on one click (one page will go into the body frame and the second page will go on button frame, one of my pages keep opening in a new window, rather than load in the button frame.

Here is the link of the project I am working on. (You won’t see the footer here) since I am not able to lead it.

http://64.174.87.66/MLA_Lamb/Site/Index_v2.html

Also here is the is how my script goes are right now.

on (press) {

_level1.unloadMovieNum("movies/home.swf", 1);
gotoAndPlay("consumer");
getURL("Consumers/ConsumersBody.html", "body");
getURL("Common/footer.html", "Footer");

I really think this should be possible, or at least I hope so. Any thoughts or feedback on this one will be truly appreciated.

Thanks,

Loading Images In Consecutive Frames
Hello everybody,

I am trying to load .jpg images into my flash movie using the new MovieClipLoader function. Here is my code so far:

Code:
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();//create an instance of MovieClipLoader

myMCL.onLoadStart = function (targetMC)
{
var loadProgress = myMCL.getProgress(targetMC);
myTrace ("The movieclip " + targetMC + " has started loading");
myTrace("Bytes loaded at start=" + loadProgress.bytesLoaded);
myTrace("Total bytes loaded at start=" + loadProgress.bytesTotal);
}

myMCL.onLoadProgress = function (targetMC, loadedBytes, totalBytes) {
myTrace ("movie clip: " + targetMC);
myTrace("Bytes loaded at progress callback=" + loadedBytes);
myTrace("Bytes total at progress callback=" + totalBytes);
}

myMCL.onLoadComplete = function (targetMC)
{
var loadProgress = myMCL.getProgress(targetMC);
myTrace (targetMC + " has finished loading.");
myTrace("Bytes loaded at end=" + loadProgress.bytesLoaded);
myTrace("Bytes total at end=" + loadProgress.bytesTotal);
}

myMCL.onLoadInit = function (targetMC)
{
myTrace ("Movie clip:" + targetMC + " is now initialized");
targetMC._width = 170;
targetMC._height = 170;
}

myMCL.onLoadError = function (targetMC, errorCode)
{
myTrace ("ERRORCODE:" + errorCode);
myTrace (targetMC + "Failed to load its content");
}

//load the files in to their respective targets
myMCL.loadClip("pic_1.jpg", "_root.myMC1");
myMCL.loadClip("pic_2.jpg", "_root.myMC2");
myMCL.loadClip("pic_3.jpg", "_root.myMC3");
....

My Question is about the last few lines:

Code:
myMCL.loadClip("pic_1.jpg", "animation.myMC1");
myMCL.loadClip("pic_2.jpg", "animation.myMC2");
myMCL.loadClip("pic_3.jpg", "animation.myMC3");
....
What I would like to accomplish is to load each image onto its own frame so I can create an animation.

What I did so far is I create an movieclip ("animation") with 3 frames: I placed "myMC1" onto frame one, myMC2 onto frame 2 and so on.
However, this is no possible solution anymore, since the amount of images vary.

So now my question: how do I add frames to a movieclip with actionscript and then load a movieclip onto that frame? Is it even possible? I tried lots of ways but came to the conclusion that this is the only possible way, however I could not figure out how to do it.

Any Input or codesnippets or whatever would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

[F8] Problem Loading Pages In Other Frames
I've been struggling with this issue now for a few days, and haven't been able to find a way around it. I have an swf in one frame (called 'nav') that has buttons, which when pressed, are supposed to load a new HTML file in the main frame (called 'main').

Right now, the code I am using for the button is:

on (release) {
getURL("about/index.html","main");
}

From what I can tell, this should be working, but when I click the link in a browser, it opens the page in a new window, no matter what OS or browser I am using. I am developing on a Mac if that could possibly have anything to do with it.

Loading Txt Files On Seperate Frames
I have a mc that has 4 frames in it. At the top is a menu with 4 buttons. In each frame I have a text field (with its own keyframe and individual instance name) that I load an external txt file into it. I want to load a different txt file for each menu item. (I have it working for a single txt file, I just cant get it to change to a different txt file when the menu button is pressed) I am trying to get it so when you click the menu button, it will go to a frame and stop, then load the txt file for that frame.

So if you click "menu item 2" it goes to frame 2 and loads that txt file into the text area. Click "menu item 3" and it goes to frame 3 and loads the appropriate txt file in to the txt area.

Code for the buttons (on its own layer):

button1.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndstop(1);
};
button2.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndstop(2);
};
button3.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndstop(3);
};
button4.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndstop(4);
};

Code to call each txt file:
//for frame 1
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
// allow text to use html
myTxt1.html = true;
myTxt1.condenseWhite = true;
myTxt1.htmlText = this.content;

};
myData.load("textfile1.txt");

Each frame has its own script like this one just pointing to the appropriate text area and txt file.

Using Flash 8 Pro.

I cant get the menu part to work though....
Hope all that made sense.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[CS3] Loading Frames, Application Cashes
hi there

i've created an animation in max, and I want to put it into flash... I have about 434 (i think) image files, 24bit bmp's... each 800 x 600

so when i select it in import, and allow flash to load the image sequence, i get the working progress bar, and then just a bit less than a fifth done, it crashes. no particular error, just a crash. because i have visual studio 05 installed, i get the just-in-time debugger.

i know crashes are rare/more a technical problem, but i'm wondering if there's something wrong i'm doing, maybe something wrong with my images, that could be causing this crash?

anyone familiar? or it may just be a problem with my system. im hoping otherwise

But how do you load a movie on release of a button into a specific frame.
A frame that was targeted by the button's actionscript.

(Basically, I have set up a portfolio flash site. I have all of my images in the .swf so the file is larger than it could be. In the portfolio section of my .swf I have thumbnails that on pressing them go to a different frame within that clip displaying the larger version of the thumbnail. Naturally, I want to load these larger images in only when the thumbs are clicked on.)

I appreciate any help.

Loading Movies Between HTML Frames
Hey, all!

I'm needing a little help with this. Like many people, I've got my HTML page split into a couple of HTML frames. One HTML frame has a flash navbar that will load a movie into an adjacent HTML frame. Easy enough, with the get URL and defining which HTML frame to load into in the window section. But I basically want each button on the navbar to load a different frame or scene in the same flash movie. What I'm trying to do is avoid too many HTML pages piling up in my browsers history when navigating across HTML frames.

I'm sure that the solution is going to be a loadVariables scenario, but I'm fairly new to the world of variables and could use some coaching.

By the way, this is all on Flash 5. (will be getting Flash 8, but not soon enough to solve this problem.)

Thanks,
