Load one swf after another?

Hey!
I've created a presentation in Flash that exceeds the maximum number of frames. I broke it up into a few different files, and now I need these .swfs to load one after another automatically, without prompting or clicking anything on the screen.
The presentation is for an interpretation program at work and will be played for an audience several times a day. It was originally a 6-slide-projector presentation that I simplified, and this is the last step to replacing the old projection system altogether.
Does anyone know how to solve my problem, as simply as possible?
Thank you!

you'll probably want to load them all at the start of you presentation so they're ready for display without waiting.
so, use standard preloader code to load your swfs. use a loop or dispatch an event to detect when one ends and another needs to start.

Preserve frame rate when loading one swf into another

Is there a way to preserve the frame rate of a swf when
loading it into another swf that plays at a higher frame rate. I'm
loading some flash ads that mostly run at around 12-15 frames a
second into a portfolio site that runs at around 40 frames per
second. All my ads play too fast. The link is:
www.dg8tal.com/portfolioidea.html
Thanks!

As far as I understand it, there is no option to override the
frame rate designated by the main movie you are loading into. The
SWF file you are loading always inherits the framerate of the SWF
you are loading it into. Here are some suggested work-arounds that
might help:
1) Lower the frame rate of the main movie on the website that
you are loading into.
2) Expand the timelines of the advertisements just for use in
your portfolio
3) Put your menu and thumbnails in one HTML frame that can
then load each item in another HTML frame above it. Since each SWF
would load on its own, the framerate of your main swf would not
matter. You would lose your nice resizing effect though unless you
did some more complicated integration with javascript I imagine.
I would recommend going with option 2, since that will take
the smallest amount of work while preserving your overall design.
However, with the faster framerate, your advertisements would have
difference performance characteristics that you'll need to assess.
I'm trying to think of more options, but these seem to be the
first things that come to mind.

Problem loading one SWF into another in Flash AS3

I am trying to load an SWF file in another SWF file. The child SWF file works fine when run standalone like if I set visibility of an item to true or false, it works fine. But when the SWF is loaded into a parent SWF, I am not able to execute such commands, neither I get any errors...

are both swfs as3 swfs?
is the code in the loaded swf and is that code referencing objects in the loaded swf?

One swf to another

I don't know if this can be done but here it goes. I have 2
flash anamation on my site. Both have several scenes in them. My
question is? When linking over from one swf. to another. Can you
script it to start at a specific scene or must you start at the
begining of the swf.
Thanks

from the loaded swf's main timeline:
MovieClip(parent.parent)
will reference the timeline to which the swf's loader has been added. so, to reference a variable (eg, scoreVar) on that timeline, use:
MovieClip(parent.parent).scoreVar

Embed question - play one movie after another

I am trying to figure out how to play a short 10 second clip before each movie on my website. The clip may be a short ad or a promo and will depend upon the content of the main video. What is the code that enables you to play one move after another in a web page. I don't want to edit the two clips to become one cos over time the ads and promos will change. In Realplayer I remember using SMIL but how is it done in QT. I will eventually write code to write out the Embed tag but now i am just experimenting. Here is what my drupal site puts out



<object type="video/quicktime" width="483" height="381"

Embed the initial movie clip as normal, but give it an HREF property.
Set the source for the HREF to be the next movie, set autohref=true, and set target="myself". It's the same technique you use to build a poster movie but (a) instead of having the poster movie open QT Player, you have its target open in its own frame and (b) instead of waiting for a user to click the poster, you have the poster movie "click itself".
Code that I used a very long time ago to display a "Loading..." graphic as a movie loaded (waste of effort, actually, as the movie is fast start and loads very fast):
<embed
src="loading.mov"
height="208"
width="256"
autohref="true"
href="Worm.mov"
target="Myself">
</embed>
(of course this was before I learned about OBJECT and the need to use OBJECT to activate the ActiveX control in IE. Also, it's worth noting that the javascript hack isn't strictly necessary for IE users, but without it, IE users will get a security dialog before they get the movie.)

Passing variables from one swf to another

I am facing problem to pass variable from one swf to another.
I am using loadMovie to load another swf. how can I pass a variable
value to another swf. Can anyone help me plz? It is somewhat
urgent.
thanx in advance.

first of all:
this is the Flash Media Server and your problem is not
related to FMS....
second thing related to the "somewhat urgent" :
we, users on this forum, are not there to do your job... so
calm down otherwise no people will answer your question. This forum
is a free support forum that community of Flash developer use to
learn tricks and to solve problems.
Possibles solutions:
If the two swf are seperate you can use LocalConnection to
establish a connection between different swf.
If you load a second swf into the first one you can interact
like a standard movieClip(only if there from the same domain or if
you a policy file on the other server)
You can use SetVariable(via Javascript) to modify a root
variable on the other swf and check with an _root.onEnterFrame to
see if the variable had changed in the second swf.
* MovieClipLoader will do a better job, in your specify case,
than the loadMovie. Use the onLoadInit event to see when the swf is
really totaly loaded into the first one otherwise you will have
timing issues.
My final answer(lol) is the solution 2 with the
notice(*)

ITunes won't play one song after another automatically.

I have an iMac . iTunes has always played one selection after another automatically, and I am not talking about shuffle. I downloaded an audio book (Mp3 files) which loaded into music, but I have to choose each segment manually, it won't play one segment sequentially automatically.

Are the selections un-checked? Items that are not checked will not automatically play. If they are checked, go into Get Info and see if you have the "Skip when shuffling" option set -- if it is, and if you happen to have Shuffle turned on, they won't play.

How do i get music videos to play like the music does on my ipad, for example one right after another and shuffle

I need to know how I can get the music videos on my IPad to play like the music does. What I mean id setting up a playlist, shuffle, and have them play one right after another instead of going back to the main screen.

At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

How to call one .SWF from another?

How do I call one .SWF from another. I built a very beefy
base .SWF, and want to add music overlay, and an intro slide show
to the exsting Flash animation, but put it in a second .FLA/.SWF
file. How do I call one from the other?
This will be embedded in an HTML file but I assume this is
superfluous to my question.
F.Z.

I think you should open that Another SWF (FLA),
and add some actionscript..
For example, you could create a movie clip, and write
actionscript in the
first keyframe:
loadMovie("
http://www.somewebpage.com/movie.swf",
this);

You're welcome.
Going back to your original post:
5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

My iPad air won't charge at all and I don't know if it's the charger or port help!i have had a new port put in before and it worked fine after but it's not working now! I have spent way to much trying to fix this thing one problem after another?

My iPad air won't change at all, and I don't know if it's the port or charger cable it is charging normally but it just won't charge. I have had a new port put in before after a charger getting stuck in there but it worked fine after and now it's not working at all! I don't know if maybe it's the charger getting old but I have spent far too much money on this iPad then I should have as it's one problem after another witch is causing me lots of stress.

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

Is there any way to pass value from one SWF to another ?

I am doing project using flash, now I cant pass a value from one SWF to another, is there any way to pass value from one SWF to another.
thanks

Hi,
Just to confirm here do you simply want to communicate between two SWFs without involving Flash Media Server. If this is the case one good way of doing it is to use a local connection. It can be used for direct communication between two separate instances of the flash player. However if you want to involve multiple clients sharing a common variable then you may have to use Shared Object for this. Please let me know what is the actual use case, is it multiple clients sharing a common variable or different player instances communicating between themselves.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Help!! As I was scrolling through my library, one folder after another had the photos in it turn to "static"! Lots of streaks and dots! What is happening and how do I save my photos?

As I was scrolling through my Aperture library just now, I saw one folder after another turn the photos in that folder into garbage! They have lines and dots and nothing recognizable - what in the world is causing this? Can I get my photos back? It almost looks like a virus eating my files - could it be - and if it is - is my entire computer in trouble? HELP HELP HELP!

Interesting that you posted this Cleaning up photo library about one hour before this post. I'd say there is a good possibility they are related.
Without knowing your system, OS version and Aperture version and what you were doing to 'clean up' your library there is little we can do.
My photo library is a mess. I have moved things around a lot in a futile attempt to organize them, now I have a lot of placeholders with no files attached. How do I clean things up?
I suggest you restore from your backup and forgo the cleaning operation until you have a better grasp of the situation.
BTW the Masters folder is organized by date and time of import at least in Aperture 3, if you are using 2 then all bets are off,
Good luck with Apple support, if you want to try and get this sorted out post back the information I requested above.
regards

If you are unable to restore your iPhone with iTunes without having to enter the passcode, you will not be able to update your iPhone's backup. You will need to place the iPhone into recovery mode in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes and you can restore from the most recent backup available.

How do you load an swf into another FLA document

Well, the headline pretty much says it all. I have gotten some swf files from another designer. I need to show them in my presentation. I am using Flash CS3 for mac. Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
Rich

I did find a tutorial on this. It was helpful. I am using Actionscript 3.0
Here is the code I used and it works. Except, I need to load another one after this one. Basically it is like a slide show of swf files. I need to play 3 swf files after another without any interaction by the user.
I am thinking I need to tell it to unload the first one and load the second one after the first one is finished and so on. I appreciate any advice.
