Shared Library
I have a problem getting a background made up from various shapes which is located in a shared library swf, to appear in a second and hopefully more movies.
I have followed the instructions to drag it onto the stage from the shared library ie linking the URL. The image appears to be all there on the stage but when I have published it only part of the background is there... a single shape. The shapes aren't symbols in their own right and I have grouped them, so I can't see why they won't all import.
This problem is driving me crazy. Can anyone suggest what I may be doing wrong please? I don't have to share every shape individually do I? That does seem tedious if so.
Cheers

Shared Library Problem (Library File Loads Twice)
What I'm trying to do:
Share a button in one Flash file for use in an imported Flash file.
The problem:
My first Flash file is loaded twice for some reason: once for the initial load, and again when the second, imported file calls on the shared library items.
The players:
FLA/SWF - <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span> (104k)
FLA/SWF - <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> (54k)
SWF - <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">loading</span> (5k, preloader)
BT - <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-button</span>, with MC <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-ani</span> inside the button
The details:
The preloader, <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">loading</span> loads 104k worth of data, all of <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span> shows up. It is sharing a button (see below) in its library, <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-button</span>.
Within <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span>, <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> then loads. The preloader loads 54k worth of data, the entirety of <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span>.
Here's where the problem occurs:
<span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> has loaded correctly; the preloader is in the first frame, so we know this to be true.
<span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> is completely loaded; the file is 54k, and 54k are shown to be loaded as seen in the preloader.
However, after loading, when <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> is to go to Frame 2, it chokes. It takes twice as long as <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> to load (therefore roughly 108k), before Frame 2 shows up.
After about 20 seconds on a 56k modem, everthing shows up and procedes normally, happily ever after.
What I'm pretty sure is causing the problem:
When <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> goes to display the shared button on Frame 2, I'm pretty sure it's loading <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span> again (104k), in order to get access to its shared library. (Even when I delete the large image so <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> is only mere bytes, it still acts like its loading about 104k.) This is obviously no good.
Therefore, the million-dollar question is:
Why is my shared library loading twice, when it's shared? In other words: How can I share the library items in <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span> so that they can be used in <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">main-entrance</span> without loading the first file all over again?
Symbol linkage:
<span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-button</span> in <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span>:
[x]Export for runtime sharing
[x]Export in first frame
URL: tour.swf
<span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-ani</span> in <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">tour</span> (<span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-ani</span> is an animation that plays when the user rolls over <span style="font-family:'bitstream vera sans mono', 'courier new', courier, fixedsys; background-color:#ccc;">travel-button</span>):

Shared Font & Shared Library
I have just started using shared libraries...
It all seems to working well - BUT it is doing something strange with a font I embedded in the sharedLib.swf
The font is successfully embedded into the library of the sharedLib.swf and is linked correctly to and from the sharedLib.swf.
HOWEVER - it does not seem to be exporting properly into the main movie - what I mean is that it does not appear in the child movie clips and buttons in the main movie, unless I put a blank textfield using the same shared embedded font on the _root timeline at the start of the movie?!?!
This seems bery quirky and I am not 100% confident with it and any potential load issues that may occur.
Has anyone had any similar experience or advice on this matter plz?

Shared Library
Dear Friends,
I am calling a sysmbol to the main flash file from the a shared library. Apart from the this sysmbols there are other symbols. I am also using XML for maintaining database of my file. I have two layers . One for symbols and other for action. I am displaying the shared symbol in the 4th frame after the XML being loaded. My file is used on WEB. I have faced a problem while testing my file in an NT server.
The shared symbole is not getting displayed for the first time. If I refresh the browser then I shared symbol is getting displayed.
Please help me why such problem is coming.
Thanks

Using Shared Library?
I am curious about how to implement a shared library. When a library object is needed, is the shared library called upon? Does the whole shared library have to load in for one object? Or do you have to initially load the shared library in using loadMovie so it can be used?
any help appreciated.

Shared Library
To bad you cant set the linkage-url by
script.
.. Shared libraries works well !!
IF ALL FILES are in a flat structure ( all swf's in the same folder )
But I am in a project which is complex enough to
have many files sorted out in different folders.
It makes it hard to work with the fla-files
separately, since relative urls will de determined
by the position of the MAIN swf
so if you got one swf that is called main..
and loads in swf's that are in other folders..
then those files in the other folder, they contain
linkage objects.. with relative url's to the shared
library.
so it will be a pain in the ass..
either you ALWAYS has to develop and test your movie
by first publishing the child swf..
then go to the main swf and ...
my tounge really goes in pieces now.
but if anyone understand the essence of my question..
please reply !

Shared Library ?'s
Hi, I have a few questions about shared libraries.
1.) Are symbols in a shared library loaded as each one is needed, or is the whole stinking library loaded when I first tell my swf to use a symbol from the shared library?
2.) Let's say I load an swf from my _level0 swf. The NEW (_level1) swf uses objects from a shared library. Then I close the _level1 swf and load a new one into _level1. That new swf uses the same symbols from the shared library...Does it have to load those symbols all over again, or are they still loaded?
3.) Can you load a symbol from a shared library using ActionScript? Like if the user presses a button, it will show a "triangle" symbol from the shared library, but it doesn't load that symbol from the shared library UNLESS the user presses that button (so if a symbol is not being used, it doesn't get loaded from the shared library).
4.) Last question...Can you use ActionScript to control sounds in a shared library (ie. attachSound, sound.start)? It doesn't seem to work and from what I have read, other people can't get it to work either.
Sorry for so many questions, I am just a bit confused and am trying to see what the best method for my Flash file will be. Thank you so much!

I try to use shared library, which method is correct?
I have one swf (01.swf) with shared font, mcs, etc.
In 02.swf i use this objects from 01.swf.
How ensure, that the 02.swf and others swfs loads the objects from 01.swf correctly?
I mean:
In browser loaded as 1. file 02.swf.
I tested it and it has problem with preloading.
I think the problem is sure with shared object in 01.swf, because they are not loaded in browser yet.
If i dont use this shared object preloader and movie from 02. swf works properly.
What should i do it and use correct this shared object and ensure corect preloading?
Can preloader from 02.swf detect the size of shared object from others sfws?
I think that is why preloader dont works.

Txt Img From Shared Library
Ok, so here I am with a very interesting issue.
I have a website that will be translated to several languages, so the boss wants it to be as easy to modify the contents as possible.
Well, to cut to the chase, in the end Ill be using an external txt loading text and images from the library with the <img src> textfield tag. After a lot of twiking here and there, I got it all working (plus some extra stuff) but now I got another little problem. The boss now wants the images to be shared by all swfs.
So, the question is, how do I use a shared library where the txt will pick the symbols out of? I confess I have very little experience with shared library, though I have been doing some reading. Still Im not even sure if I figured how its supposed to work.
anyone can enlighten me here? ideas?

Shared Library
is it possible to load several symbols into one swf from another?
I would think this would be the purpose of shared libraries but all the info I can find on Macromedias site about shared libraries seem to revolve around the authoring environment. ????
I want runtime loading of symbols from one swf to another.
And if you can do this... how to you target particular symbols?

Shared Library
i created two files- Resource.fla and User.fla
the first one(resource.fla) has a movie clip, an image and an audio file.
i shared all of the above in the user.fla using the linkage properties and used actionscripts to work with them. however, the audio file doesnt respond to aany of the codes,unless i change the linkage properties to "Export ..." which adds to the file-size of User.swf, which in turn doesnt serve the purpose of minimizing the file-size.
is there anyway to share the audio file and still keep the file size to the minimum??

Shared Library URL
This is a shared library question for Flash pro 8:
I can't seem to get the URL to stick in the linkage on a file that has imported the shared library. All library items were exported in the main shared library file. In the file using the shared library, I go to linkage and enter in the .swf, hit okay, then when I check the linkage it's blank again. In some files, it works fine with the same library items. Any ideas?
Thanks

[MX] Shared Library Or Something Else?
I'm creating an avatar builder with Flash CS3 (AS2)
It has a crazy number of options; eyes, hair, clothes, accessories etc etc etc.
So far I've had a MC for each option with all the selections within it, so 'hair' has; frame1 long hair, fr2 spikey hair, fr3 curly...and so on.
Everything has been going great but the more I add the slower Flash gets to work with, whether its testing the movie or a simple undo, a definite lag is appearing.
I'm thinking it would be better to break the sections up into completely separate swfs that the main swf could call them up as necessary. So I would have a movie with all the hairs in, another with the eyes that the main movie would call upon. The other concern is the user can change the colours of the various items, would this be possible?
I've never had a movie talk to another before so this is new territory for me. If someone could point me in the correct direction I would be v grateful.
Thankyou!

Shared Library
Hi there all, long time member, but thought Flash Kit died so have been elsewhere, but I'll test and see if I get any answers to this.
I'm trying to use the Shared Library process for the first time with audio files and I'm not sure why it's not working.
I've followed both processes from here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/... af6-7dc8.html
and here:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flas...ed_library.htm
and have a library file called libTestAudio.swf with all the audio files set up right (see Flash file here http://www.twistedpancreas.com/test/libTestAudio.fla), and a test file called testAudio.swf referencing those audio files (see Flash file here http://www.twistedpancreas.com/test/testAudio.fla).
My question is should the testAudio.swf ever grow in file size? When it has no content it is at 4Kb but when it has the shared library file added to the timeline it becomes 8Kb. Now this might sound small but I've tried this with much longer pieces of audio and the file size does get bigger for testAudio.swf . I was thinking that only the libTestAudio.swf file would increase in file size and testAudio.swf would remain at it's 4Kb size. Am i wrong there?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Our website will have several pgs of Flash 8 content and several of these pgs will be using the same assets . But to date, ea file has its own library. If I am converting some of the flash files to video, is it still beneficial to make a shared library or once the file is converted it won't matter?

Shared Library Help
Hello everyone,
I have searched the web for a "Shared Library" tutorial for quite some time and have not found any very detailed ones. Maybe I have missed some good tutorials and therefore I turned to Kirupa. I would appreciate any materials and tutorials that would cover the whole thing. Many tutorials explain either the preloader or the sharing process itself. I am interestend in the whole package. At flashkit they have a nice tutorial http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ti...-697/more5.php , but it doesn't cover the actual preloader ( where to place it and how). Anyways, I am opened to any resources. Thank you very much!!!!

Shared Library Changes Not Updating
Hi there
Here are the details of my flash project.
One main movie (800 by 600) that contains all the interface elements (i.e buttons etc)
I then have 12 separate flash movies each being a page of the lesson. (each is 700 by 600)
I have a dummy movie clip called "Page0" - into which I load the relevant page.
i.e loadMovie (Ind_Movie_Name, "Page0");
Anyway getting back to the question - each of the page movies includes all the preloader elements (Panel, Progress Bar and Dynamic Text) as shared items from a movie Shared_Preloader.swf.
I have changed some of the text in the Shared_Preloader.fla to be white instead of black, and republished the movie.
However - this change is not being reflected when I run the movies from the web or from my local machine. I have checked all the linkage options and they all seem correct.
Any suggestions why these updates are not showing up????
Thanks in advance

Shared Library Items
Hello fk.
I have some questions about sharing library items.
1) I have a main swf where most of my library resides
2) My main swf loads in external swfs for content
3) How can I keep those library items consistent so whatever I change in my main swf, it will reflect in my external swfs.
I know it has something to do with linkage and properties,etc.
The url field confuses me. The url for my site is http://www.studiomaelstrom.com . Is that what I put in the Url field, or do I put the name of my main swf, which is smv3.swf ? Any help?

Shared Library Popup
Hi
I'm having a problem using a shared library in a browser popup. When using the same movie in a non-popup window it works fine... Anybody ever come across the same problem?
The fact that the movie diplays correctly in a normal browser window leads me to believe that the linkage in the shared library and reference clips are correct, but as soon as the same movie is played in a popup, the shared items don't display.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Shared Library Sound
Sorry - there probably are topics posted on this already, I dunno if it's a problem with my computer or not, but none of the search engines on this site have been working for me for the last few days!
Please forgive me for the newbiness of my questions, but I'm still learning Flash, and haven't attempted a shared library of any sort before...I'd almost put this in the newbie forum, but since shared libaries seem a bit different in MX and 5, I decided to do it here!
My site has a navbar on level 0, which uses loadmovie to access various swf files which appear on level 1.
Most of these swfs use identical sounds, so I thought it'd be good to have the sounds on a seperate file to keep the file size down.
Here are my shared library questions:
Say I have a file called "shared_sounds.swf"...
- do I need to have instances of the sounds inserted into the timeline of the shared library file, or can the timeline be 'blank' with the sounds only residing in the library?
- if an instance of the sound does NOT need to be in the timeline, could I put the sounds into my navbar swf on level 0?
- as far as naming the sound file with the library's 'linkage' command goes, since "http://" is included by the program, does that mean I have to make a complete (as opposed to 'relative') path for the receiving file to find the sound?
- can I test to see if the shared library works on my browser, or do the files have to be loaded onto my server?
If anyone has a link/links on this site which might answer my question, I'd be glad to see it, I only with I could do a search myself!

Is Using Shared Library The Answer For This...
I have a vegas style craps game that has 20 outcomes. Now I use 20 differnt SWFs. The only things that change are the way the dice land, the text that says what you've won, minor game table markings, and the payouts differ (depending on the user ID, sometimes they get points..sometimes something else) As it is now, a backend PERL script identifys the ID, payout odds and knows which of the 20 SWFs to give the user. The problem is, now I need a minor change to the game and not have to change 20 FLAs(BIG PAIN IN THE #$#%##).
Should I be using 1 movie with a Shared Library? How do I tell Flash which elements of the library to use?
And advice and/or tutorials would be really helpful.

Using A Font From A Shared Library... Help

and even though I followed it exactly, I can't get it to work.
When I remove the font (that the fontLibrary.swf) uses from my system to test it all out, the font defaults to the wrong one...
Shouldn't there be a step when creating the fontLibrary.swf that I actually embed the font that I'm linking too into it!? It seems strange that I'm not embeding the font anywhere....
Anybody have any ideas!?!?

Shared Library Paths
How do I specify the paths for runtime shared libraries correctly?
Canīt I just put in the name of the source swf file as URL in the settings of my source library object, and then specify the relative path from the second swf to the source swf (my main movie) in the settings for the object to be imported? Or whatīs my path reference? I guess the one of my main movie, or even the one of the html file that contains my main movie? It must be possible to do it with relative paths, right?
Hope to find my lost objects soon again... ;-)

For example, when MainMovie is first loaded, the shared libaries are download and I can see their existance thru watching the cache folder of my WindowXP. In fact, my shared libraries are totally up to 300K file size and it needs about 10 seconds to complete downloading.
I have another swf called "Test.swf". This swf simply load the MainMovie to an upper level and call a function of the MainMovie. Whenever I call the function of MainMovie from "Test.swf". MainMovie would start download the shared libraries. Then it takes another 10 seconds.
My problems are:
(1) Is it possible to calculate the shared libraies download time of MainMovie.
(2) The fact is MainMovie always keep download shared libraries when a function of MainMovie is called. Is it possible to avoid this?
Thanks a lot

Shared Library Question
I have a source movie (source.swf) with shared library assets that are used in a destination movie (destination.swf)
source.swf: 50 assets, all shared for export.
destination.swf: uses only two of the 50 shared assets in source.swf
my question:
When a user opens destination.swf, does the flash player load every shared asset in source.swf or only the necessary two?

Shared Library Problem
I currently have a movie that uses a shared library for its images.
It works fine when I play it. The problem happens when I load the movie that uses the shared library into another movie.
It seems to load but does not play.
Is the problem happening because the (movie that uses the shared library) is loaded into another movie?
Does anyone know a workaround?
