Single Or Multiple SWFs?

Multiple Flash VM Instances Running With Multiple Swfs On The Single Webpage
Hi all,

I am developing a webpage having multiple swfs interacting with eachother. Not when I load many swfs, is it the case that multiple flash VM instances are running on my machine? Is there any way to check this.

The project I am doing has one of the requirements that only one flash VM should be running.

Please help me in this.

Preloading Multiple Swfs To A Single MC
Hi

what i am trying to do is this...

my main movie has 12 buttons which all trigger an external swf to load. That is fine I can do that and put a preloader on each swf for when someone clicks on a button...

BUT (big but) how can i have it so that the first swf automatically loads (without a button being pressed) and plays until the swf for the next button loads. Once swf2 loads it should play until swf 3 loads and then swf3 should play until swf is loaded etc. Of course, is the user clicks on a button this will jump them to a swf and it will play as per normal.

An exampl eof what i want is at www.seduce.com.au in their Collection section. There, from what i can tell, they have a line of buttons that load swfs but they also automatically start playing these swfs in seuqence. If you try clicking ona button for a movie that isnt loaded it flashes and loads that movie.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as this project is due very soon!

Thanks

Multiple SWFs In Single Browser Window
have an HTML page with two SWF's. Unfortunately, the movie window on top is twice the size of the one on the bottom, hence takes twice as long to load. I REALLY don't want to resort to Frames. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to have the SWF on the bottom not load until the SWF on the top is loaded?

Thanks

Single Button, Multiple Action/Multiple Targets
I originally posted this on the MX board but I think it should be here. It's a difficult one to describe.

I want to assign two separate events to a single action, but I want one event to follow the other. Both targets are MovieClips nested within the same external swf, which has been imported into the main timeline. Follow me?

on (release) {
_root.loadMovieMC.FallMan.gotoAndPlay("end");
}
on (release) {
_root.loadMovieMC.gotoAndPlay("FishGirl");
}


Problem is that once the button is clicked it runs straight to "FishGirl" without playing FallMan("end"). If I take out the second expression, it will play FallMan okay, but not the two together.

I'm in over my head here, Can anyone please help?

Multiple Or Single Swf? - Performance?
Hi,

I'm developing a charity site and i can several elements that need to load external data, should I

a) make a separate swf for each element (would be 5 or 6 in total)

or

b) 1 big swf

OR

c) 2 swf's (one for the main text, one for all the side elements);

It is important that some load random text for each page, it would also be nice if I could figure out how to load an image into one of them - I haven't been able to figure this out (the whole dynamically creating a movie clip and loading an image into it never works)

thanks for any help or suggestions

Single Load Bar For Multiple Swf's?
I was wondering if anybody here knows how to grab the _totalBytes (or equivalent) of an external swf without starting the download process?

I'm trying to avoid loading both the main file and the external swf file at the same time, but just have one load bar that accounts for both. This isn't integral to my project but I'm just trying to polish it up a bit.

I'm thinking about trying something in the vein of calling the external swf file, grabbing the _totalBytes and assigning the value to a variable, then immediately unloading it. I would call the external file again when the time is right to actually complete the loading of that file. Is there a more elegant solution than this? Would Flash halt the loading process upon unloading the mc or would it still try to load it in my cache?

Single Button, Multiple Actions
hello,
I've made a movie that has a button that when clicked navigates to to a label so that a movie clip will play (elements sliding off the screen) after the clip plays I want to load or get url a new movie but when I combine multiple actions I can't get the clip to play all the way through. I have several buttons (that lead to different movies) hat I would like to do this for so I don't think that frame actions will work for.
It seems like it should be fairly simple but I'm stumped.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Multiple Actions To A Single Button
I have a button that changes it's text Dynamically based on a variable. I want it to perform different actions as well based on that same variable. It performs one of the functions but the second function does not occur. See my sample code below:

on (release) {
if (button3 == "perf") {
scene_choice = "perform"
gotoAndPlay("EYMenuDisolve", 1)
}
if (button3 == "exit") {
fscommand(quit)
}
}

When the button equals "exit" it does not perform the fscommand(quit).

Continuing A Single Wav Through Multiple Scenes
Okay, so I'm making a movie with multiple scenes, and I'd like the .wav file I have at the beginning to play all the way through. On the first frame of scene 1 is a button with the action script to play on release attatched to it. I don't want the music to start until the button is pressed, and I've tried everything I can think of, but when it gets to the second scene the music cuts off abruptly. If you can help, I'll love you forever.

Is it possible to put multiple clickTAGs on a single button?
Such as, if there is a banner ad (one swf file, one html file) loaded onto 3 separate pages, is there a way to track the clicks on each page separately? Or would i have to create 3 of the same banner ad and load them onto each page? What would be the best solution for this?

[F8] Using Multiple Masks Per A Single Clip ?
Normally when i wanna do interesting masking that builds something creatively, I have say... mask_mc.. which holds 2 movieclips containing bitmap data..


So I mask Object1 with mask_mc


Then i just tween inside the mask like..
mask_mc.mask1.tween(whatever)
mask_mc.mask2.tween(whatever)


But if mask1 and mask2 overlap, it reverses the mask effect and that part of the overlap remains hidden.
Is there a way to do this so overlap wont matter??

Like if for example i wanted 3 circles to grow in scale to show an object. How do I do that without the overlap problem. Is there a way besides the drawing API?

Multiple Rollover Functions On A Single Mc
Hi

I don't know whether this is possible, but can you have two rollover functions on a single mc. For example I have a mc which i want to add a tool tip and then change the colour. I originally had this all in one rollover function but i want to split them as i'd like to reuse the tool tip function for another mc that does not need to change colour.

I've had a search around the forum and internet but couldn't find anything. I'm not sure its even possible, but thought id ask

[CS3] Help Loading Multiple XML In One Single Document
Hi folks, if anyone could help me with this i'd really appreciate it!

I have a Flash Gallery that loads images via XML.
Instead of loading different SWF files each one containing different
XML instructions, I want to have THE SAME FLA file to load several
XML files by just clicking different buttons.

Example:

1. The default xml file is "scroller.xml"
2. but i want instead of loading another SWF, to load let's say "scroller2.xml", which contains different image arrays.

What i've done is i've created a button that says.

MyButton.onRelease = function (){
xml.load("scrolelr2.xml");
}

But the thing is that it crashes the document and the screen freezes.
And i've tried many methods like

a) delete xml.onEnterFrame;
b) xml2 = new XML();
c) have different frames instances that load different .xml files.

But all of them give me the same result > "ERROR: 256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list"

Single FLV Player, Multiple Videso
Hey Gang,

Is there a preferred, or standard method to pull this off.

Basically have on Video player template that will pull in a different video
based on the URL querystring.
It can be as simplas as VidId=001
And I'll keep the vids named 001.flv, 002.flv ect.

This is my first time diving into Flash video, so sorry for the rookie
question.
I'm more of an ASp.Net guy and a newbie to Flash. Once I get down the basic
routine for my idea above, then I'll work it into a database application.

Thanks

Exporting Multiple Swf Files From A Single Fla

This might be a stupid question, but I've been asked to update a presentation that has 150 different swf files (one for every frame), but only one fla and I've got no idea how the person who originally worked on this project did that.

Does anyone here know how you would export multiple swf files from a single fla or is that even possible?

How To Put Multiple Classes In A Single File?
Hello,

I'd like to put mutliple classes in a single file. (This would be useful for grouping children that are minor extensions of parent classes or helper classes that are used by one class only).

When I tried to put two classes in one file, I got this error message:
5006: An ActionScript file can not have more than one externally visible definition: Notation.editField, Notation.labelField1

This is the structure I used. Thanks in advance for your help.









Attach Code

package Notation {

import flash.text.*;
import flash.events.*;

public class labelField1 extends TextField {
//Code inserted here
}

class editField extends labelField1 {
trace( "editField");

Single Vs. Multiple File Uploads
Hi,
I have an application that combines single & multiple file uploads. In some cases I want to allow users to upload several files. In others, when I know the files may be large -i.e., audio or video files- I want to restrict their uploads to only 1 file. I want to know if it is possible to have both things working together.

My application works if I only do one or the other. If I try to switch from Multiple to single uploads, or vice versa, I get this error:

Error: Error #2041: Only one file browsing session may be performed at a time.

How can I close/delete/eliminate any previously opened browsing session?

Thanks so much.

Multiple Conditions For A Single Button
Hey all....

I have a small problem. I don't know how to code this....

I made a trivia game, and there is a final button that will show you the score you got on the quiz.
When the button is clicked, based on the score, it will play a movie clip with "you scored 10%", etc...

There are 5 possible outcomes, 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%..
When the button is pressed, it has to play the movie clip with the corresponding percentage...

Any help is appreciated!

Single OnRelease Function For Multiple Mcs
I am trying now to set up aa single onRelease function for multiple movieclips. So, far I have figured that I can use a 'for' loop to just loop through all clips. The problem I am having is that I don't think a property given a value in an earlier function is recognized in this new function. Below is the code:


ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<20; i++) {
_root["mc"+i].onRelease = function () {
if (_root["mc"+i].owner == "me") {
doThis();
}else{
doThat();
}
}
}


The condition I have set in the else clause is what is being executed every time. So, I am deducing that the initial if clause is not true. The only thing I can think of is that the 'owner' property isn't recognized. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Reference Multiple Instances From A Single Variable?
hello, future lifesavers.

THE SITUATION IN BRIEF: Drag and drop questionnaire with multiple 'drag-things' and multiple droptargets. can I reference multiple targets in one variable, (i.e. a variable declared somewhere for the targets: "these 10 items are ELEPHANT"; and then for the drag-things:"turn ELEPHANT to stage 1") ?

(try and follow me here)...
Ive got (10) target boxes as the same MC (each with a different instance) with 10 separate frames in that MC. Ok so far?

Then, when a certain answer (drag-thing) lands on a target box, it jumps the target box (MC) to a corresponding frame (and the answer itself disappears).

I'm basically trying to get the answers to have a snippet of code that says 'when this, number 1, go on a target, jump the target to its' first stage (frame 1)'.

please please please. I love you.
Mark

p.s. it doesn't matter which answer goes on which target.

Multiple Paragraphs From Single Text Variable?
Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to examine my question.

I'm trying to get multiple paragraphs from a single text variable. I'm loading a single variable from an external file. I'm putting

Single Preloader For Multiple Scenes/movies
yeah, I have alot of dynamically loaded materials into my site, however, some of the graphic elements from them, make some individual movie clips large.


I was wondering if there was a way to create a single movieclip/preloader to insert whenever necessary, that would work just as any other one.

I would like for it to also work with my main movie, in which all my dynamic materials are loaded into!

any help or some sort of direction in this process would be greatly appreciated.

I would need some sort of step by step process almost, just a jumpstart, like

make new mc... add this action script on this frame, fill your info here, and then place wherever...etc

because im litterally stoped dead on this one.

Thank you so much FK, you guys rock!

Multiple Data, Displayed In Single Textfield.
How is it possible to have several integers displayed in one textfield.

For example, have the code set up to generate 5 random numbers. Then, have those numbers displayed in 1 textfield. Is there any connective procedures or code to make that possible?

Publishing Multiple .swf Files As One Single File?
Hi,

I have an .fla file which has multiple .swf files "inside" it. I am sending this project to someone, but do not want to send a whole list of files. Is there a way to "publish"(is this the correct term?) the .fla file, so that I can send a single file that has the other .swf files embedded in it?

Thank you for your time and help

Sincerely,
tommy

A Single Set Of Controls For Multiple Movie Clips
I am working on a mixer application that will take images and looping animations and allow a user to select and change the properties of the MCs. The clips will also be dragable. I am using sliders to control the properties such as alpha, scale, rotation and color offset. My problem is that I want to use one set of sliders to be able to control each of the selected MCs. I want the user to be able to click on a MC to activate it and then the slider will control that clip until another clip is selected. Can someone please tell me how to go about doing this?

Single Button That Loads Multiple Images
hello all- i'm working on a project using flash 4-is there a way to command a single button to load consecutive images? for instance-first click loads image A, next click loads image B etc- then have a second "back up" button which can "back up" the photos if the viewer wants to go back and review an earlier photo.
i'm aware of a "scroll strip" where i would connect all the photos together and use a mask- but i'm very concerened about load time- these are fairly large photos-thus my reluctance to load them all into one frame. each page will have about 10-15 photos!
any help will be most appreciated.
thanks

Multiple Prototype On Single Clip Conflict
I have two prototypes I am trying to call at the same time on the same movieClip. Here they are:

MovieClip.prototype.fadeClip = function(speed, fadeLevel) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha == fadeLevel) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
} else {
this._alpha += (fadeLevel - this._alpha) / speed;
}
};
};
MovieClip.prototype.tweenClip = function(speed, clipX, clipY) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if ((this._x == clipX) && (this._y == clipY)) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
} else {
this._x += (clipX - this._x) / speed;
this._y += (clipY - this._y) / speed;
}
};
};

My issue is that if I call them at the same time, only the second one called executes. I think it is because of the two separate this.onEnterFrame calls, but I'm not sure how to get around that issue and still keep two separate prototypes. Can anyone help me?
