Rendering of SWF Loader child SWFs

I am using the swf loader with an Xcelsius OpenDoc link (http://<server>:8080/Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=<CUID>&sKind=Flash&CELogonToken=<CELogonToken>) and it works beautifully so long as the parent swf is also opened using and OpenDoc link. However, if the parent swf is opened via InfoView, the child swf does not render properly (either way too large or too small). Has anyone else come across this or have any ideas for resolution?
Regards,
Alison

Try wrapping it as a component with the Flex component kit.
That way you
get to specify the bounding box.

Loading child SWFs with TLF content (from Flash CS5.5) generates reference errors in FB4.6

I am currently producing e-learning content with our custom AS3-Framework.
We normally create content files in Flash CS5.5 with dynamic text fields, which are set at runtime from our Framework (AS3 framework in FB4.6).
Now we are in the progress of language versioning, and since one of the languages is Arabic we are changing the dynamic text fields to TLF fields.
Then all my problems started.
In Flash I have chosen to include the TLF engine and to export in frame 2.
(see to: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/loading-child-swfs-tlf-content.html )
I get this error:
VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of getEventMirror in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowLeafElement.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
I guess it is because our framework wants to gotoAndPlay before the TLF engine has been loaded.
Can this be it?
Any good suggestions on how to handle loading child SWFs with TLF content.

Please refere to the following articles .. you may find some help.

Flash AIR app cannot load child swfs on publish to device

I have been struggling with this problem for WEEKS now and can't solve it. I have an flash AIR app (creative cloud, AIR 3.8) which is very simple: all it does is load external SWF movies on the click of a start button. It works FINE in test/PC but when I publish to device, the external swfs do not load.
Here is the code on the main timeline that calls the external swfs:
//start button
start_button_TRI_desmatosuchus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_02_3,false,0,true);
import fl.display.ProLoader;
import flash.events.Event;
var fl_ProLoader_02:ProLoader;
var fl_ToLoad_02:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_02_3(event:MouseEvent):void
          if(fl_ToLoad_02)
                    fl_ProLoader_02 = new ProLoader();
                    fl_ProLoader_02.load(new URLRequest("dinofilms/triassic_desmatosuchus.swf"));
                    fl_ProLoader_02.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete_02 )
                    addChild(fl_ProLoader_02);
                    fl_ProLoader_02.x = 0;
                    fl_ProLoader_02.y = 144;
          else
                    if (fl_ProLoader_02!=null) {
                              removeChild(fl_ProLoader_02);
                              fl_ProLoader_02.unloadAndStop();
                              fl_ProLoader_02 = null;
          fl_ToLoad_02 = !fl_ToLoad_02;
function onComplete_02(e:Event):void {
          e.currentTarget.content.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,OEF_02);
function OEF_02(e:Event):void {
          if (e.currentTarget.currentFrame==e.currentTarget.totalFrames) {
                    e.currentTarget.stop();
                    e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,OEF_02);
                    removeChild(fl_ProLoader_02);
                    fl_ProLoader_02.unloadAndStop();
                    fl_ProLoader_02 = null;
I am calling about 30 different movies on 30 different frames, so that's why I am using tags like "proLoader_01" so I don't duplicate them. All the external swfs are of course listed in the included files too.
I would really appreciate the assistance, I am a reluctant coder!

OK, I replaced all the "ProLoader" instances with "Loader" and I am getting an error, below (see***)

Parent SWF controlling Child SWF variables

1) The code below works but the browser sends an annoying
alert message
“Received Parent Message” and you are obliged to
click OK before the program can run. How can it be fixed ?
2) Why this code needs to use the
ExternalInterface class if the Child SWF gets loaded and
becomes incorporated in the Parent SWF ?
3) Is there a
simpler and more straightforward way for a Parent SWF to
communicate with a Child SWF ?
package
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.*;
public class ChildMovie extends Sprite
public function ChildMovie():void
public function alert(msg:String):void
ExternalInterface.call('alert', msg);
txt.text = msg;
package
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class ParentMovie extends Sprite
public function ParentMovie():void
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
onLoadComplete);
loader.load(new URLRequest('ChildMovie.swf'));
private function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void
var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = e.target as LoaderInfo;
addChild(e.target.content);
var swf:Object = loaderInfo.content;
swf.x = 75;
swf.y = 50;
swf.alert('Received Parent Message');

Hi,
You can launch the SWF in new window with navigateToURL() available in flash.net package by passing the path of SWF as parameter to function as
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(domainPath + "/appmanager/login.swf"));

RemoveChild in parent.swf from child.swf (AS3)

Hi! How do I remove a child from a parent timeline with an externally-loaded swf? Specifically, I have a main.swf that loads movie_1.swf and movie_2.swf. In the movie_1.swf, I have a button to remove movie_2.swf from main.swf.
//--------- main.swf code:
var loader1:Loader = new Loader();
var loader2:Loader = new Loader();
loader1.load(new URLRequest("movie_1.swf"));
loader2.load(new URLRequest("movie_2.swf"));
addChild(loader1);
addChild(loader2);
//------------- movie_1.swf code:
removeMovie2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , removeMovie2);
function removeMovie2(event:MouseEvent):void
this.parent.parent.removeChild(this.loader2); // this does not work (get error code 2007, "Parameter child must be non-null")
// Thank you!

Here's how your code will change:
//--------- main.swf code:
var loader1:Loader = new Loader();
var loader2:Loader = new Loader();
loader1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, assignMovie1Listener);
loader1.load(new URLRequest("movie_1.swf"));
loader2.load(new URLRequest("movie_2.swf"));
addChild(loader1);
addChild(loader2);
function assignMovie1Listener(evt:Event):void {
      MovieClip(evt.currentTarget.content).addEventListener("eventTriggered", removeLoader2);
function removeLoader2(evt:Event):void {
      loader2.unloadAndStop();
      removeChild(loader2);
//------------- movie_1.swf code:
removeMovie2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , removeMovie2);
function removeMovie2(event:MouseEvent):void
      dispatchEvent(new Event("eventTriggered"));

Trouble figuring out pathname for embedded swf loading external swfs & xml

I have a swf that loads content from an XML file. This works fine when everything is in the same directory, but I want this swf to appear in several different HTML pages, which are in several different directories and I don't want to have to put 8 different copies of my swf online just so that they load properly. The directory structure is like this:
main_dir:
mod_dirmod01_dirmodcontent_dirmyembeddedswf.html
myflash_dirsub1
sub2:
myflash.swf
myflash.fla (not uploaded to the server)
xml_dir:myxml.xml
I created "sub1" and "sub2" just so that my swf would be the same number of directories downwards as the html has to link upwards, so that when I test the source file, it works. For the HTML, it's embedded like this (using swfobject):
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="800" height="500" id="../../../myflash_dir/sub1/sub2/myflash">
          <param name="movie" value="../../../myflash_dir/sub1/sub2/myflash.swf" />
                
                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../../../myflash_dir/sub1/sub2/myflash.swf" width="800" height="500">
                
                <div>
                    <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
                </div>
                
                </object>
                
            </object>
And inside the Actionscript, I have a URL like this to load the XML:
../../../myflash_dir/sub1/sub2/xml_dir/myxml.xml
Testing the .fla works. But the swf does not work in the HTML. myflash.swf loads, but the loading animation spins and spins, so presumably myxml.xml is not loading. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Durrr, this is not the first time I've answered my own question. Maybe something about trying to explain it to someone else lets my brain make the critical connection.
Anyway, yes it was everything to do with the external SWFs being loaded. My main swf actually loads an xml containing URLs from which to load all of the other SWFs and so I had to update the URLs inside of that, and that fixed the problem.
Sorry for wasting forum space, but maybe this will help someone else out!

Need help with loading child .swf into parent .swf

Hello,
I am having trouble with an external .swf that isbeing loaded
into the master.swf. All of the files loads perfectly. However the

combobox does that display any of the items listed and the form is
not being sent to the server. Can anyone give me a hand with

Flash swf loading flashbuilder swf

is there a trick for having a Flash CS4 website swf be able to load a flashbuilder4 generated swf?
doesn't show up.
i remember an issue from Flex3 concerning it locking up the gui unless you had a flex3 canvas or whatnot loaded prior.
fb swf can load by itself fine via its html, and flash swf can load other flash swf's, but i can't get the flash swf to load the fb4 swf.
thx

If you have used fl.. classes in the CS4 swf it might prevent the Flex SWF
from loading, but usually you get errors.

Unloading a loaded external SWF with a close button on the external SWF to unload

I have found some discussion on this topic but I am still having trouble getting it to work and was hoping to get some help here.
Here I have a file: http://www.dril-quip.com/test/main.swf
I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)
If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent.
So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.
below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();
btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{
var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf");
bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest);
stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();
btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{
var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf");
bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest);
stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
EXTERNAL FLA:
btnClose2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent.parent).removeF();
I think I have a misunderstanding of the code. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

This was the original code I got:
Main FLA: (on AS layer inside DropDownButton Movie Object)
function removeF() {
removeChild(myLoader);
var myLoader:Loader=new Loader ();
page1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, page1content);
function page1content(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
var myURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("page1.swf");
myLoader.load(myURL);
addChild(myLoader);
EXTERNAL FLA: (on main time line of this file)
close_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeMC);
function closeMC(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent.parent).removeF();
Main.FLA
myLoader=bigboreLoader (my new loader)
page1_mc=btnbb2 (the button who event will call external swf)
page1content = bigborecontent (name given to SWF being loaded???)
myURL=bigboreRequest (my new URLrequest for bigbore)
page1.swf=moduletemplate.swf (actual address of what I am loading)
External.FLA
close_mc=button that will close external swf
closeMC=movie clip to close?

Problems accessing child swf from parent class

First off: Hi. I'm new - to the forum and to Flash.
I'm currently writing a flash app that requests a XML feed
from a Java controller and loads child swfs into various parts of
the stage based on the settings/URL details received from the XML
feed.
Its nearly there and I've got my head round a couple of weird
things, but theres one thing left that I've found impossible to
solve. Once the loader class has loaded the swf, it can't access
its methods or set its variables and the child can't access the
parent either (or access the parent's variables full stop). From
what I've read this should be possible. Heres some of my code plus
pseudo code:
Note the Panel class is not linked to a symbol and uses
composition to act like a movie clip, rather than inheritance.
quote:
class Panel{
function Panel(owner:MovieClip, insName:String,
depth:Number){
initiates properties etc....
panelMovie = owner.createEmptyMovieClip(insName,depth);
listener.onLoadComplete = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,
scheduleModule);
loader.addListener(listener);
loader.loadClip(moduleX.url, panelMovie);
function scheduleModule(){
trace(panelMovie.key);
trace(panelMove.keyTest());
panelMovie.key = "dave";
trace(panelMovie.key);
Child swf:
quote:
var key:String = "test";
As you can see I create an empty movieclip which I store a
reference to in this class under the field "panelMovie". I then use
this (instead of target_mc like you might do with an event handler)
to try to access the child swf. The output is:
trace(panelMovie.key); = "test" (Works fine)
trace(panelMove.keyTest()); = (Nothing returned)
panelMovie.key = "dave";
trace(panelMovie.key); = "test" (Previous line = no effect)
Is this something related to using a class? Really would be
preferentially to keep all code outside of the fla.
I've also tried a lot of different combinations of _root,
_parent and _levelx. None of which I truly understand.
Any help would be much appreciated! Plus any good tutorial
links on timeline and referring to objects in it!
(Couldn't find the code tag/button...)

>>trace(panelMove.keyTest()); = (Nothing returned)
You have panelMove here instead of panelMovie

Thanks & Regards

Hi,
     I have used this code to load the swf in the main application:
<mx:Canvas id="dashCanvas" creationPolicy="all" cachePolicy="on" width="100%" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
               <mx:SWFLoader id="dashBoard" trustContent="true" width="100%" height="100%" scaleContent="true" autoLoad="true"

Dispatching and Event in Parent SWF & Receiving it in Child SWF

Hi All...
      I would like to receive an event(Dispatchd in Parent swf) in Child SWF, the bold italic text represents the piece of coding i require help with
     //in PARENT SWF i have -----------------------------
        dispatchEvent(new Event("CloseDoors"))
    // in Child SWF --------------------------------
     here i need a code that catches the event dispatched in parent.addEventListener("closeDoors",closedoor)
       Please let me know if there are alternative ways to do it. I think some people prefer to listen to the event also in Parent file and run
       the function in CHild from parent file....i would like to learn the best practive to INFORM CHILDREN through a PARENT FILE...
     Thanks.

Perfect....just to make sure i m taking care of it in a nice practical way....here is how i learned to access a file located in Child (researching other posts)
is this the way you recommend it?
(LoaderName.content as MovieClip).functionName(new Event("whatever"))
and in Child File we have
function functionName(e:Event)
i have seen other ways of calling a function in Child Swf , like using EmbedSWF and etc. wanna make sure which one is a better practice. Thanks

Can I load a swf into my Flex app that loads other swf's?

The code below loads an AS2 swf into my Flex mobile for IOS app and it works. If that AS2 swf has like a circle in it that runs across the stage, it loads and displays properly when run in FlashBuilder.

                                 initialize="init()">

                              private var loader:Loader = new Loader();
                              private var myComponent:UIComponent = new UIComponent;
                              private function init():void{
                                        myComponent.percentHeight = 100;
                                        myComponent.percentWidth = 100;
                                        loader.load(request);
                                        myComponent.addChild(loader);
                                        player.addElement(myComponent);

</s:Application>
But if that AS2 swf loads other swf's, they don't load or display. My FlashBuilder debugger reports no errors or security sand box violations.   I'm using the most elemental code in my AS2 swf so as to not cause problems. This is it in its entirety:
this.onLoad = function(){
          _root.loadMovie("http://[PATH_TO_REMOTE_SWF]");
The paths to the remote content are fine because swf's load and display fine from AS2 swf when run on it's own - not embedded in Flex app. They also load and run fine if I cut out the AS2 swf and access directly from my Flex code. So I know there isn't a path issue. More likely not accessing the right layer in the AS2 swf from Flex or something. Or maybe security sandbox violation but I don't see anything reported in the FlashBuilder debug console. When run console just reports:
[SWF] SwfMobile.swf - 2,639,761 bytes after decompression
[SWF] assets/swf/AS2.swf - 1,470 bytes after decompression
Is there something inherently wrong with loading swf's that load other things? Even if I have the AS2 swf load jpgs they don't load so the format of the target content at the end of the chain doesn't seem to be the issue. Just the act of embedding a swf that loads other things seems to be the problem.

Ah, yes. Using an AVM1 SWF could prove difficult...
I'm going on about 3 hours of sleep at the moment, but let me toss out a few thoughts I have and hopefully something will stick...
Ok, so my first thought what to try and cast the loaded content as a MovieClip and call methods on that, but the fact they are AVM1 throws that out the window.
That leaves LocalConnection, as you mentioned. But this would require you to have code on the receiving end to handle the connection... no good either.
But what if you created a "bridge" in AS2 that holds all the code for the receiving end of LocalConnection (or has the control logic itself, perhaps even eliminating the need for LocalConnection all together!). I think maybe this is what you were trying to do already by loading a SWF into a SWF? Well instead of loading your bridge at runtime, what if you statically linked it into your project as a class?
*a few moments later*
Well it looks like you can in fact link in a a symbol created for AVM1, but it will only come in as a SpriteAsset, and will not include any custom code (which makes sense, since they use entirely different class constructs).
To do the test, I created a symbol exported for actionscript (AS2/Flash8), then linked it in with a CSS style embed. I then instantiated the class and called describeType on it.
So in summery, it looks like calling custom code on the bridge is out (I did not test this extensively, that was just my first impression with this simple test). However, if you may be able to perform the actions you need by attempting to cast the loaded content into something AVM2 can recognize. Apparently it does this automatically when linked in statically, so maybe there is something there worth looking into... mainly, can you do what you need using only the base class and no custom code?
Keep me posted!

Control swf from separate swf in main file

Im loading 2 swfs into my main swf. So I have a top swf and a
bottom swf being loaded in externally into my main swf that makes 3
swfs, 1MAIN swf loading TOP swf & BOTTOM swf.
Is there a way to have the bottom swf control or command the
top swf? I need a button on in the bottom swf to tell the top swf
to load a movie.

in AS2 you can point directly from one to the other with the
correct pathing.
IE:
_level0.TopSwfLoader.content.FunctionToCall();
or
_level0.TopSwfLoader.content.Property = NewPropertyValue;
_level0 takes you to the main swf (_root, but this works
around if lockroot is set)
TopSwfLoader.content is the content of the Loader component
that has your Top.swf loaded into it. If you are not using a Loader
component, then you can change this to the instance name of the
Movie Clip that has the swf loaded into it.
FunctionToCall()/Property is what you want to control. Either
a function call or a property.
In AS3 this works a bit differently. I would dispatch a
custom event from the Bottom swf. Then the main swf would catch
that event, and call the appropriate function/property in the top
swf. I can elaborate more on this if you need.

Xcelsius Parent/Child SWF Loader with BICS Connections

We have several Xcelsius Dashboards that use BICS connections to retrieve data from BW queries that we'd like to combine into one Parent/Child tabbed dashboard. I can't seem to find solid information on if this is possible using a SWF Loader component due to the BICS requirement of being published through BW Portal and not InfoView. Does anyone have any ideas (short of combining them into one huge dashboard due to the volume of data)? Thanks!

Hi Chris,
I have been working with SWF loader on the SAP portal using the BICS connection type. It was not supported last time I asked about a year ago. However, it can work if you specify the URL in the SWF loader in this way:
http://sapwebdisp.vestas.net:8103/bicsremotebex?SWF=XXX&TIMESTMP=1318867468000
XXX is the name you publish your child dashboard under. Data can be exchanged between the parent and child dashboard by using the custom component "Data sharer" from Inovista which can be downloaded for free:
http://www.inovista.com
Besides the fact that this setup is unsupported there are some limitations so from my point of view it should only be applied under the following conditions:
1. It is not possible to build eveything into a single dashboard.
2. A solution having several independent dashboards does not make sense.
An alternative might be the setup described in note 1526291. The way I understand it, it binds the dashboards together in a similar way as on a BO server with flash variables.
Regards,
Michael
