Detecting a Loaded and Displayed SWF

Hi All,
Dir 11.5 Flash AS2/AS3 - all fine, it works.
I am using DIR to make CD-ROM delivered SWF movies.
I have a SWF in the first frame - it is a load progress spinner.
The SWF is is Type:Flash Movie, named "MovieOnScreen".
I want to open this .dir as a MIAW. Pass a SWF name and path to an exteral SWF to "MovieOnScreen" member to replace the progess spinner SWF. I have done this with:
member("MovieOnScreen").fileName= "Flash\movieX.swf" in 'on startMovie me'.
I need the spinner to play/display until the external SWF full loads and then replace it.
The SWF and behaviors are in frame 1.
How can I test to see if the SWF is loaded?
I was thinking about having the spinner play on top of the external SWF until the it has loaded then hide the spinner (visible = false).
End of Quarter/Year crunch and my vacation time presses to find a solution fast.
Thanks,
Jim Wiley

What code/approach have you tried? What are you using as the trigger to load one after another has displayed?

Help with load and unload swf file.

hello, just now i try, to load my file using the code snippet 'load and unload' i manage to load the next file succesfully but why my recent file still appear in the background? how do i make it gone?

When you load another SWF you're loading it 'inside' the current SWF but it appears that you want to replace the current SWF entirely with the new SWF, is that correct?
If so you should make what's usually known as a 'stub' or a loader. Make an empty project that merely acts as a loader. It should load your first SWF and when you press a button on that first SWF to load a second SWF, it should signal the 'stub' it's loaded inside to unload the first SWF and then load the second.
e.g. a stub.swf (just coding out of memory, not error checked, just to give a general idea):
// make a new loader to do all the loading of SWFs
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
// and display
addChild(loader);
// a function to load a SWF into the loader (replacing any existing SWF)
function loadSWF(path:String):void
     // assure path is defined or do nothing
     if (!path) return;
     // load requested SWF
     loader.load(new URLRequest(path));
// load initial SWF
loadSWF('/path/to/1.swf');
For your 1.swf to use the function, you're currently inside the .content property of a Loader so I believe you can just run a command like: Object(this.parent.parent).loadSWF('/path/to/2.swf');
This example obviously lacks any error checking or transitions but you can add those and season to taste.

PDF addresses not longer load and display PDF in Firefox and solutions suggest to other users with problem DON'T WORK (work fine in Chrome and Safari)

This is an ongoing problem with other users. When putting a PDF in address window of Firefox and clicking go to address FIREFOX WILL NOT LOAD AND DISPLAY THE PDF. This problem has come up in questions from other users on your site. NONE OF THE SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS WORK! (trying either the Firefox PDF viewer or the Acrobat viewer as default viewer)
I am using Firefox 23.0.1 (as some of the other users with the same problem). This was not a problem in the past with Firefox. Safari and Chrome continue load and display PDFs just fine from their addresses. This is a big problem as I now have to inform people who want to view my PDFs NOT TO USE FIREFOX BUT TO USE SAFARI OR CHROME.

It appears that a link to a PDF on an internet page will not download in Firefox either!
I went to this page:
http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/earth_art_detail.html#.UjYEzrwsU08
and tried to download the PDF link at the bottom of the page (Download: PDF 11.3 MB) It didn't work! Nothing happens. Tried it in Safari and it worked flawlessly.
I have a PDF file of my work in the public_html folder on my URL. I give the address generated by that file to people who want to view my work---this works perfectly in Safari and Chrome. As to your other question, can't bookmark it if I can't get to it in Firefox.

Loading and download SWFs for AIR apps on iOS from server

Dear
I develop app for ios using adobe air i need to loading and download swf in my server to my local device
i make it loading from server and play but i need to download it locally in device to play offline
Please Help
Thank You

If I undestand correct, the unload() is unsuported yet, so it just hangs in the memory
In the tests I did, when I put two loads for the same swf, the app freezes, so I don´t know what you can do there.
For the "code", you just need to put the LoaderContext on the loads, something like this:
Frame 1:
var myLoader:Loader;
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null);
if(myLoader == null){myLoader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); }
else {myLoader.unload();}
Frame 2:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file1.swf"),loaderContext);
Frame 3:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file2.swf"),loaderContext);
Frame 4:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file3.swf"),loaderContext);

Load and display image using CDC

Hi everyone,
Please help. I'm new to java. I need a simple routine to load and display an image from the file system into a CDC app on windows mobile 5. I'm usin creme 4.1.
Thanx in advance

Use the following as a guide:
1. Get the image (path below must be absolute):
public static Image getImage(String filename) throws ScanException {
Image img = null;
// Read paths from properties file
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer("\\");
buf.append(ScanUtility.getPathImages());
buf.append("\\");
buf.append(filename);
buf.append(".jpg");
File dataFile = new File(buf.toString());
if(!dataFile.exists())
throw new ScanException("Cannot locate the file:\n" + dataFile.getAbsolutePath());
img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(buf.toString());
return img;
2. Create a class to display the image (pass in the image, above):
ImagePanel class source:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
public class ImagePanel extends Panel {
private Image image = null;
private Image scaledImage = null;
private boolean imageComplete = false;
public ImagePanel(Image img) {
image = img;
scaledImage = image.getScaledInstance(200, -1, Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
prepareImage(scaledImage, this);
// Override the paint method, to render the image
public void paint(Graphics g) {
if(imageComplete) {
g.drawImage(scaledImage, 0, 0, this);
// Override imageUpdate method, to prevent repaint() from trying
// to do anything until the image is scaled
public boolean imageUpdate(Image img, int infoFlags, int x, int y, int w, int h) {
if(infoFlags == ImageObserver.ALLBITS) {
imageComplete = true;
repaint();
return super.imageUpdate(img, infoFlags, x, y, w, h);
public void flush() {
image.flush();
scaledImage.flush();
image = null;
scaledImage = null;
}

Loading and displaying an image

I have been able to do this with an applet quite easily
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Image;
// This is a simple example applet that loads an image and
// displays it.
public class DrawImage extends Applet
     Image image;
     public void init()
          image = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "cow1.jpg");
     public void paint(Graphics g)
          g.drawImage(image, 10, 10, this);
}I haven't been able to find a good source that explains how to do it just using swing and awt. The ones I have found are complicated or don't work. I am trying to program a tester program that will load an jpg image and redraw the panel then load another jpg image so it looks like its moving. I know you can do this just using the graphic in java but I would like to do it with a jpg image files. Can anyone help with simple code for this?

After lots of trial and error with certain classes and not knowing how to use certain methods correctly, I have this below code:
public class image_load extends Frame
     Image img;
     public static void main (String args[])
          Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
          img = toolkit.createImage("cow1.jpg");
          img = ImageIO.read();
          ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("cow1.jpg",
                                 "cow pic");
          JLabel label1 = new JLabel("Image and Text", icon, JLabel.CENTER);
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          //set frame to exit when closed
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.add(label1);     //add panel to frame
          frame.setSize(25,25);     //set size of frame to 300pix x300pix
          frame.setVisible(true);     //make frame visable
     public void paint(Graphics graphics) {
          graphics.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
}I get these errors from the code:
image_load.java:21: non-static variable img cannot be referenced from a static c
ontext
                img = toolkit.createImage("cow1.jpg");
                ^

                img = ImageIO.read();
                             ^
3 errorsI have tried a contructor and other things. As for the imageIO.read error that only accepts in Buffered Images. For this I have this odd bit of code that needs changing to be able to work. Any more suggestions?
BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage ( imageWidth,
                                                  imageHeight,

Load and open swf in new window

Hi everyone,
I have 2 flex applications named login and game. When the user logged in, I want the login swf to load the game swf and open it in a new window once it finished loading. I tried popup manager and title window but they only made the swf popped up INSIDE the app itself (which is the login swf). What I really want is to be able to load and open the game swf in a brand new popup window.
Please help. Thanks.

Loggin in is a classic example of when to use states.
The base state will be your app, and the "login" state will be your login state. Set the application currentState to 'login' in the creationComplete event.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
creationComplete="this.currentState='login'">
<mx:states>
    <mx:State name="login">

Flex 4.6 IOS Mobile packager - can it load and play swf's dynamically at run time?

I have an app that shows the viewer slides in a SWFLoader object. I load the slides at runtime from a remote server. When I package the app for IOS using 4.6 the swf slides load and play fine in the IOS emulator on the PC. They don't load, however, when I deploy to a provisioned iPad.
My guess is that IOS can handle doesn't know what to do with dynamically loaded swf data. I'm not positive though because it plays in the emulator. Is that emulator truly emulating xcode or is it running flash?
Note: this same app plays an rtmp flash stream just fine even on the device itself. Just can't handle a dynamically loaded swf.

The correct answer to this question appears to be that Apple's terms of service *do not* prohibit the loading of swf's on IOS from remote servers dynamically at runtime. They prohibit the loading of swf's that *contain executable ActionScript code*.
I loaded a PPT into Adobe Connect and then retrieved the resultant slide swf's from the Connect server. I took these swf's and loaded them into my iPad app, dynamically at runtime, from a remote server. The swf's loaded and animations played. I made no changes to my code. I'm just using a plain old SWFLoader object.
Loading swf's dynamically at runtime from remote servers into IOS works - if you make the swf's right. How to do that I'm not sure.

Need to load and unload swf from single htm file

I need to load or unload swf file or we can say that i need load 3 project one by one in current window

mit,
So are you saying you need to have one swf file call a second file to play, then call a third to play...
Which Captivate version are you using?
Are the swf files all captivate published swf's?
Do you have access to Flash Professional and if so what version?
how are you running your file, is it scorm packaged or just html based?
I may be able to help with your issue, but need these details.

Loading and unloading swf

I am making a site and I want each button to load an swf,
which would be the content of each page. When I click on each
button the swf will load, however, the old swf will not go away.
how does one do this. Thanks.

It looks like you are adding the newly loaded swf, but not
removing the old one. So, maybe this change would help:
function about_CLICK(myevent:MouseEvent):void{
var loadMain:Loader = new Loader();
loadMain.load(new URLRequest("clip0.swf"));
// if there is a child on the display list remove it
if (getChildAt(0) !=null) removeChildAt(0);
stage.addChild(loadMain);
I should mention, however, that there is a bug in Flash 9
related to unloading swfs:
http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2008/04/failure_to_unlo.html
However, I don't think this is affecting your visible
behavior.
