External AS3: Loading swf video

I need to load a  swf file, which is video player and video. The swf loads but the video contained in it does not play and the video controls are dead too. What do I need to do to load a swf containing a flv video so the video plays?
I have a fla file connected by class to an external as file. Here is the external as file I am using:
package final {
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    //import flash.text.*;
    // URLRequest class resides in flash.net package
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.errors.*;
    public class ControllingSwfs extends Sprite {
        public function ControllingSwfs() {
            var swfContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
            var swfLoader:Loader=new Loader  ;
            swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleteHandler);
            function loaderCompleteHandler(evt:Event):void {
                addChild(swfLoader);
                swfContainer=swfLoader.content as MovieClip;
                swfContainer.x=10;
                swfContainer.y=20;
                addChild(swfContainer);
                //swfContainer.setText('SWF Loaded Properly');
                stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, unloadAssetHandler);
            function unloadAssetHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
                swfLoader.unload();
                stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, unloadAssetHandler);
            swfLoader.load(new URLRequest('kitty.swf'));
            addChild(swfLoader);

Now I am going to ask some dumb questions:
What is the difference between a script that loads an external image or a swf file into a new swf,
and a series of scripts that, when used together with a fla file, create a swf movie player (into which a target flv file gets played)?
Can a loader script load an that swf file that contains a movie in an ActionScripted movie player? If so, does it need access to the movie player scripts?
A little background:
My functioning ActionScript 3 movie player relies on 4 scripts —
1. a button manager script that controls play, pause, rewind, fast forward and stop
2. a media control script that extends flash.events.Event
3. a video script that extends MovieClip, targets the video to be played and controls and displays things like the scrubber
4. a main script that integrates all the above and is the Class for the fla file
Because I wanted to be able to load multiple flv movies in my flash swf, and I didn't know how to make the movie player do this, I thought loading the movies as swf files via a loader would be the solution.
If I could get my scripted movie player to be able to load and play different movies (as does the Adobe Media Player), that would be satisfying. (I am not relying on the AMP because I am doing this project for a class (which is now finished, but I'm still trying).
What I really need is working sample scripts so I can begin to understand how to assemble something like this. Oh, and the key is that I am required to do this all in external ActionScript 3, not on the timeline within the fla file.
Is there somewhere online that I can visit that creates purely scripted flash stuff?

  • Blank screens while loading .swf videos

    I have several .swf movies on a website I am designing. The
    smaller movies load fairly quickly but the larger movies just pop
    up a white screen until the movie loads and it can take up to 7
    seconds. I would like something like a bar or an animated
    "Loading..." to pop up until the movie loads. Anyone have any ideas
    on the best way to go about this? Thanks!

    I have the exact same question. I have a keynote presentation
    which I have converted to an .swf file and want something to appear
    on the screen while it is loading. It doesn't even need to be
    animated - even ome text would do. Help please!!!

  • Color external loaded swf in AS3 Help Urgent!

    Hi i have loaded swf from an external path using the following command.
    var cviewer:Loader=new Loader();
    var curlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("clipArts/"+evt.target.name);
    So this is the scenario.
    Suppose say i load Movie1.swf
    I have three movie clips inside Movie1.swf called step0, step1, step2
    I need to change the color of step0, step1 and step 2 from the parent flash file which loads movie1. All the inner movie clips color may be different from each other.
    I am able to change the color of the whole movie clip by using
    var colorInfo:ColorTransform = cviewer.transform.colorTransform;
    colorInfo.color=evt.target.selectedColor;
    cviewer.transform.colorTransform=colorInfo;
    But not of individual ones. I even tried cviewer.step0.transform.colortransform and other stuff to see if it would work. But nothing worked. Help at fastest would be deeply appreciated.
    Regards and thanks in advance.

    try:
    var colorInfo:ColorTransform = MovieClip(cviewer.content).step0.transform.colorTransform;
    colorInfo.color=evt.target.selectedColor;
    MovieClip(cviewer.content).step0.transform.colorTransform=colorInfo;

  • How to unload externally loaded swf which contains 3D Carousel?

    Hello to all
    I am learning AS3 and have been taking on various tutorials found on the net. While learning about AS3 I came across a lesson on http://tutorials.flashmymind.com/2009/05/vertical-3d-carousel-with-actionscript-3-and-xml/ titled "Vertical 3D Carousel with AS3 and XML".
    I completed the tutorial and all worked fine so I then wanted to load the swf into a existing project. The loading of the swf goes fine and when I unload my loader it is removed but only visually as in my output panel in flash CS5 I get an error as follows
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at carousel_c_fla::MainTimeline/moveCarousel()
    this error repeats over and over again slowing my swf movie.
    So does this mean my main flash movie trying to still play / find my unloaded 3D Carousel?
    If so how do I unload remove all the AS3 that is trying to run from the 3D Carousel?
    I have included the AS3 below from the tutorial page and I understand that this is what I have to remove to "break free" from the 3D Carousel swf when it is unloaded. This is where I am stuck as my knowledge of AS3 is limited - Can you guys / girls help?

    Hi Ned thanks for the reply,
    Ok so I have a button in my main movie that loads the external swf
    stop();
    var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
    var my_btn:Button = new Button();
    var my_pb:ProgressBar = new ProgressBar();
    my_pb.source = my_loader.contentLoaderInfo;
    my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startLoading);

    my_loader.removeEventListener("killMe",
    killLoadedClip);
    my_loader.unloadAndStop();
    removeChild(my_loader);
    Then I have a button in my loaded swf that closes the loader
    This is spread over 2 frames
    Frame1
    function closeIt(e:MouseEvent):void {
    parent.dispatchEvent(newEvent("killMe"));
    Frame 2
    back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeIt);
    Frame 2 also holds all the code for the carousel
    Thanks for your time and help in advance people ; )

  • Map and externally loaded swf working together

    Here's the setup:
    I have a panoramic viewer, and i'd like to have a map go
    along side it. The panoramas are loaded externally into the player.
    Inside these external swf files are "hotspots" that link to other
    panoramic swf files that load and take the previous swf's place. I
    have all of this set up, and you can see how I did it in my
    previous post:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=288&threadid =1274410&enterthread=y
    So now my new question is... how can I have a map with points
    on it, that when you click on a point, it will load a corresponding
    swf file into the player. I believe that part is easy. My big
    problem is if someone clicks on a hotspot in the external swf file
    first, which in turn loads another swf file, and if that person
    goes back to the map, I want the map to change the position of lets
    say, a marker or a pin to indicate the new position on the map that
    correllates to the new external swf that was loaded.
    make sense? Any ideas? I was thinking maybe it would be some
    kind of listener or something so that should a specific swf load,
    it will recognize it and automatically change the location of the
    marker on the map to the point that relates to the loaded swf or
    something...

  • Controlling External Captivate 5 swf using flash AS3

    Hi,
    I have created a basic Flash AS3 interface in which I am trying to control the navigation (next slide / previous slide) of an external captivate 5 swf which I have added using a loader, but i cant work out the solution.
    My code is currently as follows:

  • Dynamic Text in Externally Loaded swf

    hi. i have a dynamic text field in an externally loaded swf. Its a digital clock so i want the numbers to update in the dynamic text field.
    this is not my exact code but it is very similar. i show below that i add the loader.swf, and once its loading is complete, i can work on its movieclips and add event listeners to its buttons, etc. but i cannot change the dynamic text field (its "classic text" set to "dynamic text"). after running this, the text just stays empty as it is in the external swf).
    here is the sample code:
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.load(new URLRequest("loader.swf"));
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
    function loaded(event:Event):void{
         addChild(loader);
         var loader_mc:MovieClip = (loader.content as MovieClip)
         loader_mc.myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(2);//***this works
         loader_mc.myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickMe);//***this works
         loader_mc.myText_txt.text = "12";//***this doesn't work******
    please help. thanks!

    Did you embed the font in the textfield--it needs to be done in the loaded swf when you create it? One other thing to check is that the color for the textfield is not the same as the background it sits on.

  • Embedded SWF video = slow loading page?

    Hello and good morning,
    I have recently created a website on DreamWeaver 8 with three
    SWF videos (not FLV but SWF) embedded on it. The videos are
    supposed to be set at "progressive download" but the page takes
    ages to load up, as if the browser was loading up the videos as it
    loads up the page itself.
    Any ideas? Thank you!

    Thanks, Hans
    I should have noted in my first post that this was through Firefox... But regarding  IE 8  (im using Windows 7 on my PC) it's slow from the very start and will sometimes skip, stutter and even completely stop half way through.
    The original animation test should be much quicker.. about 4 seconds.
    Im wondering if anyone else can verify this on their browser?

  • Using the DateField in an Externally loaded SWF

    Hello,
    I have been having major trouble trying to get a basic PHP
    contact form to work within an externally loaded SWF file inside of
    a parent SWF. When I test the movie on its own it seems to work
    fine (example: I'm able to select a date from the DateField
    component). However, when I open up the parent SWF file and call
    the external SWF file with the form the DateField is basically
    unusable (example: when you click on it nothing happens, no
    calendar pops up to select a date).
    I have no ActionScript on it yet, simply because I figure I
    need it to work before I tell it what to do with the PHP file. The
    instance name on the DateField is "theDate". Any help is very much
    appreciated. Thank you.
    Also, I have just successfully used the contact form on the
    web. But, the only user interface components I am able to edit are
    the input text boxes, not the DateField or the ComboBox I have in
    it as well. This is very odd, I was not aware that anything special
    had to be done using these UI components within an external file.
    Elijah

    Hello 2m,
    Maybe if you were to see it, it may help you out a bit. If
    you
    click
    here for the external file you will see that the components are
    working. However, if you
    click
    here for the parent file and then click on "Meetings" on the
    top menu you will see that they do not work at all. However, if
    someone were to hit the "send" button, the PHP code would actually
    interact with the form. Let me know if that helps at all. Thanks
    again for replying.

  • Setting External Loaded SWF dimension

    hi guys...,
    i'll be straight to point,well i'm now working on a project using action  script 3 now what i'm trying to make is a Main SWF that load whatever  other swf into it the tricky thing is that i used 1 xml document read  the external swf source and it's setting(such as it's x,y position and  it's width and height) and i'm having problem setting the loaded swf width and  height btw it's an desktop application and not a website application.,

    cause i'm already really desperate and going crazy by this problem..,

    sorry i copied the code from the other swf i used to do try and error test..,
    basically the container is the same as swf varibale
    here the code so you would'nt get confused:
    //variable list
    var swfList:XMLList; //hold all the zone list from the xml
    var totalZone:uint; //total of zone there is in the xml
    var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    well in my code i did cast the loader into a movie clip and then set it's width and heigt,right???
    wouldn't it just give me the same result??
    if it's not can u describe what u mean in more detail??
    some example about accessing the loader content would be really appreciated

  • Acessing loaded swf movieclip sctructure on as3

    Hi, I'm using external swf files to add skins to an
    application. Currenlty,I'm loading isolated elements successfully
    by the use of the Loader class. However, now I want to load a more
    complex skin structure that will have some movieclips already
    placed on the loaded swf stage. The question is: when I load an swf
    that athe edit time, I placed some elements on stage and gave them
    instance names, how can I access this external swf movieclip
    structure? It's something like this:
    1. First, I create the external file by placing some elements
    on its stage, naming these elements instances, like "console_bar"
    and "console_button".
    2. Then, I load this swf using the Loader class (into a
    loader called "playerConsole", for example) and, whe it finishes
    loading I try to access the elements placed on stage:
    this.addChild(playerConsole);
    playerConsole.console_bar.x = 0; // won't work - how can I
    access this instance?

    This code generates an error when I try to compile:
    1119: Access of possibly undefined property console_bar
    through a reference with static type
    flash.display:DisplayObject.

  • Tween Max AS3 Not Working on Root of loaded SWF

         I have a project where I'm loading a SWF into another Shell SWF and I've run into a strange bug.  Tween Max works in the compiled clip everywhere, but on the root of the loaded SWF.  It's not erroring out, it's just not tweening anything?
    Here's the code for the loader in the Shell...
    stop();
    //Import the required assets
    import flash.display.*;
    //Stop the playhead while loading occurs
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    var url:String = "12com2682-value.swf";
    var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
    ldr.load(urlReq);
    //Create a listener to call the loading function as the movie loads
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING2);
    function PL_LOADING2(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    loader_txt.visible = true;
    var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
    //Display the % loaded in textfield
    loader_txt.text="loading:"+int(pcent)+"%";
    //If the movie is fully loaded, kick to the next frame on the main timeline
    //You may wish to change the gotoAndStop(2) to a gotoAndPlay(2)
    if(pcent==100){
              mc_loadscene.addChild(ldr);
              loader_txt.visible = false;
    this.loaderInfo.removeEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);
    then in the loaded SWF, I have:
    stop();
    import com.greensock.TweenMax;
    import com.greensock.plugins.*;
    TweenPlugin.activate([AutoAlphaPlugin]);
    import fl.transitions.easing.*;
    //////mc_host is a movieclip holding a video
    TweenMax.to(mc_host, 1, {scaleY:1, scaleX:1, delay: 2.5, ease:Back.easeOut });
    //////mc_sidert is another movieclip
    TweenMax.from(mc_sidert, 2, {y:"-600"});
    Anybody else running into this error? 

    you must be doing something wrong because that code works as expected for me:  http://www.kglad.com/Files/forums/test2.html and http://www.kglad.com/Files/forums/test2.fla

  • Loading internal video via strobe video swf loaded in htmlLoader in air

    I'm trying to load some local video (app:/content/video/filename.flv) via the strobe video player loaded in an htmlLoader container. It seems that the file path is never found, I've tried loading it from the local server and it works, but I need it to load local video really, and I can't seem to get it to load passing it an app:/ in the flash vars reference.
    i've added
    html.runtimeApplicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
    but doesnt seem to do anything..
    I read it may be possible in an I frame can anyone advise?
    cheers
    bob

    Ok sorted it doing it in an iframe you can change the sandbox root and doc root to get the file from app:/
    <iframe src="the_embed.html" class="strobemediaplayback-video-player" sandboxRoot="http://localhost/air/" documentRoot="app:/"type="text/html" width="500" height="350">
            </iframe>
    then in the_embed
    <object width="470" height="320"> <param name="movie" value="StrobeMediaPlayback.swf"><param name="flashvars"value="src=video.f4v&poster=poster.png"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed "video/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"width="470" height="320" flashvars="src=cideo.f4v&poster=poster.png&audioPan=1"></object>
    however the posters are not working from the sandboxed domain...seems odd?

  • Using a transition on an externally loaded swf

    Hi, I would have no problem doing this the old fashioned way,
    but for some client-requested reason it has to be in AS3. Here's
    what I have:
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    addChild(myLoader);
    var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("movie.swf");
    myLoader.load(url);
    //Fade-in 9 seconds
    TransitionManager.start(myLoader, {type:Fade,
    direction:Transition.IN, duration:9, easing:Strong.easeOut});
    Apparantly, myLoader isn't the instance name of the loded
    swf. I have no idea what it is though. Can someone help me? Thanks!

    The loaded swf is at loader.content, but you can only access
    it once the loading has completed and the loader has been added to
    the display list. For example, CODE 1 will not work, but CODE 2
    will.
    //CODE 1
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    addChild(myLoader);
    myLoader.load(new URLRequest("movie.swf"));
    var loadedSwf:MovieClip = MovieClip(loader.content); //ERROR
    //CODE 2
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    addChild(myLoader);
    myLoader.load(new URLRequest("movie.swf"));
    myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    loadCompleted);
    var loadedSwf:MovieClip;
    function loadCompleted(ev:Event):void {
    loadedSwf = MovieClip(loader.content);
    trace(loadedSwf);
    PS. I recommend using the Tweener library for tweening in
    ActionScript. It is much better than the Adobe functions and there
    is a tutorial at:

  • How can I make my external loaded .SWF file smoothly disappear after 15 seconds?

    Hi,
    How can I make my external loaded .SWF file smoothly disappear after 15 seconds? The following is the code to load an external .SWF file:
    var K:Loader=new Loader();
    addChild(K);
    K.load(new URLRequest("clock.swf"));
    K.x = 165;
    K.y = 247;

    function growLoader(evt:Event):void {
         K.width = 130;
         K.height = 130;
    I want to make clock.swf file disappear from the page after 15 seconds using some smooth disappear effect.
