Flash :: Loading From An Html File

Small Flash File Loading Into HTML - Weird Sporadic Loading
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help...

I have a very small Flash file (less than 5k) loaded into a table cell of an HTML page .

On occasion (on Mac/IE) there is a flash of white appears in the table cell before the file starts. On other occasions only a portion of the file appears (while the rest of the cell is white). And at other times, none of the file appears (the table cell that it's in is appears as white).

The background of the flash file is orange (not white) so I guess that means that none of the Flash has loaded. Sometimes when I refresh the page, the problem resolves itself.

Does anyone know what the problem may be? Is there any sort of pre-loading JavaScript that would help, even though the file is very small to begin with?

Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

Loading A .css File For A .html File In Textfield
I've done a bunch of tutorials and I managed to load a .html file into a textfield, which has the instance name of myTextField. Now, I am struggling to load a .css file in conjunction with it.

Can someone check out my code and help me?

AS3 code:

function textLoadComplete(event:Event):void
{
myTextField.htmlText = textLoader.data;
}

var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("externalhtmlfile.html");

textLoader.load(textReq);
textLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoadComplete);

Loading Html File In Swf
Hi,
I wanna load a html file into a swf file.Such as If I click a link it will load the linked page into the flash file not replacing the swf file.
Another problem, In a html file , there are 2 frames,left frame & right frame. Left frame load a swf and right load a html file.In the left frame ,the swf file have some buttons,after clicking a button it will load a html file into right frame.How will it work??

Loading .jpg AND Html File
I am not sure how to do this since I am no good at actionscript yet. I have included a screenshot below so you can see exactly what I am looking to do.

Basically I need a flash movie that loads a .jpg file (upper area of screenshot---reddish area) and an HTML file (lower area of screenshot---grey area) at the same time from an external .txt OR xml file. The trick here is then after about 10-15 seconds I need the jpg. to swap out with the NEXT .jpg and at the same time load a NEW HTML file to go with the .jpg. Basically a slideshow with a "news" area below each pic...and I need that area to be HTML so I can define links when needed. I would like to be able to rotate as many "stories" as I need by just changing a few variables. Also, on the very bottom of the screenshot, you will see control buttons. That way a viewer can stop the news story headline if they need to or go back or go forward with the stories. Also I would need a preloader for each jpg (movieclip)??? Right???

Anyhow, I have no idea where to begin, and I cannot find a tutorial that covers this. I tried using the "easy slideshow component" but it still does not have what I am looking for. Can someone throw together a simple tutorial .fla for me with just the placeholders and the scripting along with notes of what to modify and how to write the txt or xml file. I would really appreciate the effort and I would really like to learn what I am doing instead of just throwing a component on the stage.

Here is the screenshot:

peace out,

Loading SWF File Into HTML
I finished my flash website, I now want to load it into html,

after I Click on file, publish, ect. I now have a HTML file.

What I want to do is the following..

I want to center the swf movie, and I need to change the back ground color.

Should I just put the SWF into a table or div, position it, and set the back ground color..

OR .... is doing all the above the way I mentioned the hard way, is there a better way..

THanks

Loading HTML From An XML File
I'm trying to load news from an XML file

Here is my code:

XML_Noticias.onLoad = function()
{
//System.useCodepage=true;
Noticia=new Object();
for(i=0; i<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++)
{
var News=new Object();
News.Title=this.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.title;
News.Description=this.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.description;
All_news.push(News);
}
NewsCount=All_news.length;
this.ShowNews(0);
}

The XML file content is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<NewsList>
<News title="Some text" description="Another text"/>
</NewsList>

At this point, everything goes right.. but if i change the XML content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<NewsList>
<News title="Some text" description="Another text <a href='www.google.com'> Click here </a>"/>
</NewsList>

If I include character ">" or character "<"... the XML file is not readed correctly... it results in a undefined value... What i'am doing wrong??
Anybody knows what is happening?

PD: if htmlText property is asigned inside Flash, the link is showed properly.

Thanks

Html In Loading Txt File
ok i need to have a txt file loaded into a dynamic textfield, with the scroll bar ui component controlling it. for some reason this is a problem any tutorials or ideas guys? highly appreciated

SWF File Loads Only After HTML Is Done Loading?
i have an html page with a .swf file in it. however, I want ALL the data, images, and text in the html page to load first, and only then have the swf file begin loading.

Reason is: swf file is fairly large and client wants the html information to load first, and not for the whole page to be bogged down by the swf file loading.

Is this possible? Are there actionscript commands that allow a swf to interact with html in this manner?

thanks

Loading An Html File Then Formatting With Css...
hello this has been bugging me for a while now i was wondering if any one can help me, i'll try and explain it the best i can...

i am trying to load in an html (will be a php file once its up on the server but just for ease its an html file) the use a css file to format it. the code i has is as follows :

var CSSformat = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var CSSpath = "home.css";
format.load(CSSpath);
format.onLoad = function(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
home_mc.home_txt.styleSheet = CSSformat;
home_mc.home_txt.htmlText = loadHTML();
} else {
home_mc.home_txt.htmlText = "unable to load css file.";
}
};

function loadHTML() {
var home_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
home_lv.load("home.html");
home_lv.onData = function(home:String) {
if (home != undefined) {
return home;
} else {
return "unable to load html file.";
}
};
};

i have a feeling it may because i'm loading the html after i've loaded the css but ive tried it other ways and it doesn't seem to work either so this was a last resort.

i have also tried: home_lv.onLoad = function(home:Boolean) etc.
but that didn't work...

sorry this is such a long post but i'm pretty stuck, i can't seem to see the wood for the trees (so to speak).

thanks in advance

Movie Not Loading Through Html File.
I am using flash 8 professional

I am attemtping to have 3 seperate movies load within a single swf file when certain buttons are rolled over.

The movies load correctly if I open the main swf file directly. But when I view the main swf file within a html file the main swf file loads, but none of the movies load, initially or through rollover. I would appreciate any inisight as to what I may be doing wrong.

This all works if the html and swf files are on the same level. Currently I have the index file residing on a top level and the swf files in a folder called assets. The main .swf file loads, but none of the movies that the main swf file targets load. Its just blank

The code I am using is as follows:

loadMovie("stage1.swf", "emptybox");
emptybox._x = 0 ;
emptybox._y = 0 ;

but1.onRollOver = function () {
loadMovie("stage1.swf" , "emptybox");
emptybox._x = 0 ;
emptybox._y = 0 ;
}

but2.onRollOver = function () {
loadMovie("stage2.swf" , "emptybox");
emptybox._x = 0 ;
emptybox._y = 0 ;
}

but3.onRollOver = function () {
loadMovie("stage3.swf" , "emptybox");
emptybox._x = 0 ;
emptybox._y = 0 ;
}

Loading Different Swf File In Same HTML Page?

Problem Loading External Html File
I'm having a problem loading external documents into my SWF.

On a fast connection, or locally, the external document always loads into the text field correctly. However, if the SWF is loaded over a slower (modem) connection, the document doesn't always load.... the text field is left blank. This is odd, as if I refresh or exit and then go back to the page that's loading the external file, it will eventually load.

Has anyone else run into this problem? How can I ensure that the external file always loads correctly?

Troubles With Loading External Html File
First off I have alot of text I need to have scroll.

I've decided to use 7 buttons to navigate through the text. I had hoped to use the .html document I created in Dreamweaver however Flash doesnt support some of the html tags. Each time i try accessing my dynamic text I see the tags in the scroll window! Which brings me to my first question.

Is there anyway to save convert the .html to a html file flash will like?

Loading .html File Into A Movie Clip

I Could Really Use Some Help Loading An External HTML / Text File
So the code i am currently using works well, the only think i need to change is instead of the text box displaying whats in the "quotes" i need it to pull in an external html file for easy maintenance.

The code was taken from the kirupa hover caption tutorial, and i changed it a bit to work the way i needed it to.

Here is a snippet of my current code:

Code:
s1.onRollOver = function() {
captionFN(true, "Text to be loaded", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {
captionFN(false);
};
};

captionFN = function (showCaption, captionText, bName) {
if (showCaption) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("hoverCaption",this.getNextHighestDepth());
cap.desc.htmlText = captionText;
cap._alpha = 75;

if ((sName._width+sName._x+cap._width)>Stage.width) {
xo = -2-cap._width;
yo = -17;
} else {
xo = 2;
yo = -17;
}
hoverCaption.onEnterFrame = function() {
cap._x = _root._xmouse+xo;
cap._y = _root._ymouse+yo;
cap._visible = true;
};

} else {
delete hoverCaption.onEnterFrame;
cap._visible = false;
}
};
So, i simply need to replace "Text to be loaded" with and external html file somehow.

Thanks for helping

[F8] Loading XML File From A Different Dir Then HTML Page Using Vars
I am trying to load a picture rotator swf and xml file from a different directory then the html page. When they are all in the same directory it works but when I try to use flashvars and put them in different directories it does not.
This is my current code in the fla doc:

PHP Code:

var images_xml:XML = new XML();
images_xml.onLoad = startImageViewer;
images_xml.load("images.xml");
images_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

This is my code for the html page:

PHP Code:

width="659" height="399" name="slideshow" align="middle"

type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
flashVars="images_xml=http://pathtofile/images.xml"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />

The swf and xml are in same directories. Is there anything wrong with my code?

Loading Html From File Into Several Text Fields
I'm making a four column layout with four dynamic text fields and text that loads from a html file. The structure of the site and which html file is to be loaded on which page is specified in xml, but the actual content on each page needs to be editable in separate html files (different people will do the editing, and I don't want them to go around messing with the structure).

The problem is that I need the four columns of text to be loaded from a single html file. I was thinking that I could make four paragraphs paragraph1paragraph2 etc., one for each column, but how do I load them each into a separate dynamic text field?

It would be great if someone could give me some pointers on how you could do that.

Loading An External HTML File/Antialias Text OFF
Is it possible to load an external (same directory) HTML file into a specified area of a SWF file? If not...is it possible to load the external txt file with variables within the external txt file to call for an external image to show? (christ....I've even confused myself with that explanation)

and how the hell do you export a movie so the antialias text is off? not liking the fuzzy look! Just 'unticking' the antialias in the menu does NOT work!

Loading Tex From External Txt Or Html File And Image Question - Please Help

Loading External Html File Into Swf With Scrollbar Within A Text Box?
Hi all

I am completely tearing my hair out over this one, and I really really would appreciate any help

I'm trying to load an order form into a swf I have made using an external txt file containing all the html coding for the form. I need to load it within a specific section of the swf, so have created a text box using the text tool. Also, as the form is larger than the space on the swf, I have made it dynamic text and used the scrollbar component.

I have followed the tutorials provided here:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm

and here:

http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...ng_text_mx.htm

... but with no luck. In fact, even when I follow the Kirupa tutorial _word_for_word it STILL doesn't work!

Is there any easy way to do this? Can I just load an ordinary html document into a swf or must it be a plain text file? If so, how do I do it??????

Current actionscript is:

loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("external.txt");
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace ("done loading");
scroller.html = true;
scroller.htmlText = this.var1;
}else{
trace ("not loaded");
}
};

The external.txt file is just the html copied and pasted from my html form but with the words "var1=" at the top of the page.

Really would appreciate any thoughts!!

External Html File Loading .swf Into Another .swfs Level?
Hey there,

I'm kind of new to actionscripting and webdesign. A print designer for quite a while but that doesn't help when it comes to actionscripting. Anyways what I want to know is if there is anyway to load a SWF into a level in a different SWF file, using an external html file.(actually the html file is being dynamically loaded into the that same swf file). It's a news page and the client wants to be able to update it easily, thus the loading of text file but he also wants to be able to easily link to the swf that harbours the content. I'm not even sure if this all makes sense or if it is at all possible but any direction would be greatly appreciated thanks.
