External .swf into a flash presentation

Hey guys and girls!
I got a question here. I made a small flash intro 2 weeks ago
and saved it into a .swf. Now I am doing a flash presentation with
many slides for a client and I want to put the intro into the first
slide. I am doing a symbol/movie clip and after the movie is
loaded, it does not switch slides...
Thanks a lot,
Antoine

I think this is what you're looking for...
stop();
waitI=setInterval(waitF,5000); // <- will wait for 5000
milliseconds
function waitF(){
clearInterval(waitI);
_root.gotoAndPlay("specificFrameLabel");
could be completely wrong though.

Insert swf into a flash presentation

Hi,
I am using flash CS3.
I am creating a flash presentation on one side.
On the other one I have made a flash movie.
Now I would like to insertn the flash movie in a page or as a
page of the presentation without converting into MOV or other...
How can I do ?
thx for your help

in CS3 you can write code in ActionScript 2 or 3.
on your root timeline in the fla create an empty layer call
it actions and lock it then select the frame and in your action
pannel. type in Movieclipyou want to load the swf
in.loadMovie("name of swf file.swf");
to unload the swf fie use movieclip yuloaded the swf
in.unloadMovie();

How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's inside other movie clip?

Hi.
I creating my first flash (actionscript 3.0) website but I'm
stuck with a visual effect I want to create.
I have a window on my website called contentWindow. Every
time you click a button this window is supposed to leave the stage,
load the requested content and return to the stage.
The sliding window is a movie clip with 83 frames, 21 to
enter the stage, 21 to leave the stage again, 20 for nothing (its
just to simulate the loading time) and 21 to return to the stage.
Now my goal is, when the user clicks on a navigation button,
the window exits the stage, loads an external SWF with the content,
and then returns to the stage.
I've the "window" movie clip with an instance name of
"contentWindow". Inside there is another movie clip with an
instance name of "contentLoader". The content that the user
requested should appear inside the "contentLoader".
Now, when the contentWindow leaves the stage, I get this
error message:
quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at rwd_fla::MainTimeline/trigger()
If I switch
"contentWindow.contentLoader.addChild(navLoader);" for
"contentWindow.addChild(navLoader);" it works fine, but the
external SWF doesn't move with the window.
How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's
inside other movie clip?

Hi,
Recently, I have been putting together a flash presentation.
And I am just wondering if the following might help you, in your
communication with the said swf file:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
onComplete);
function onComplete(event:Event):void
event.target.content.thinggy_mc.y -= 100;
Not the best example, but this allows you to target a mc
within an external swf file. I think if you look up this code, you
will have an answer ;)
Kind Regards,

Load external swf into a specific _level

Hi there,
I am loading an external swf into the mc 'image' using:
image.loadMovieNum("portfolio/100_design/1.swf", 1);
Every time a new image loads, I want it to load the level above, ie:
image.loadMovieNum("portfolio/100_design/1.swf", 2);
Is there a way this can be done dynamically. For example, "current level + 1"
Many thanks

is the first frame of your loaded swf's empty? if yes, then no problem using _levels.
if not, do you mind a momentary flash when your next swf loads and before its _alpha is assigned 0 and then faded-in? if you don't mind, then no problem using _levels.
if you do mind that momentary flash, then using _levels will be more complex than using empty target movieclips. is there some good reason to use _levels instead of target movieclips?

Loading external swf into Fla. not working

I have created a Flash page that loads an external swf into
it when you click a button. The swf loads but the actionscript
assigned to the swf which scrolls images across does not work. When
i open the swf in a browser window with the direct link to it the
scroll works but inside the fla file the swf loads but the scroll
buttons are not working at all. Would this be something in the
actionscripting in the swf or fla file. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated, thank you.

var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("my_gallery.swf");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);
is as3 code. that won't work in your as2 project.
here's the equivalent in as2:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("targetMC",this.getNextHighestDepth());
targetMC.loadMovie("my_gallery.swf");

Loading an external .swf into an empty container

I'm loading an external .swf into an empty container.
Everything seems to work fine except when the .swf is loaded both
seems to be running extremely sluggish. The button rollovers are
slow, the page transitions..everything. I can't figure out why it
is doing this. Both .fla's have the same frame rate. Is there some
known reason why this might happen?

well, we've tried that and it is actually a little bit worse.
Normally i test everything in a browser window anyway. I'm thinking
it might be a naming issue of some variable or something that is
the same for both fla's....not sure yet though.

Trouble loading external .SWF into my main page with preloaders

Dear All,
I am working on my first Flash project with AS3.
The structure of the flash site is pretty simple. I have a
stage 1165px wide x 710px height
Inside my Stage I have an horizontal bar with a menu followed
by a container right under.
**** My goal
is that whenever I click on one of the button on the menu, that the
related external .SWF loads into
the container with a preloading bar and %. *****
I already did all my .SWF files and it is pretty frustrating
at this point to be stuck at this point of development.
Please help.
-Alex

Visit gotoandlearn.com. There is a video tutorial there
regarding preloading that should answer most, if not all, of your
wonderings.

LoadMovie- loading an external swf into movieclip in AS3

Im extremely frustrated.........im trying to do something
that was once very simple, which has now become over complicated
unecessecarily.....i want to do a simple loadMovie type action and
load an external clip into a movieclip called ph. my AS2 code would
be:
loadMovie("ExternalMovieClip.swf","ph");
or
on(release) {
loadMovie("ExternalMovieClip.swf","ph");
This no longer works. Can somebody tell me the new code that
i would use with AS3 to do exactly what i just demonstrated? I
honestly dont even want to touch AS3. The only reason i want to use
it is because it makes skinning the components SOOOOOO much easier
than AS2. That is the one and only reason im trying to convert to
AS3. All the new load movie AS3 examples ive seen on google look
like half a page long to do what i used to do in 2 lines. There
must be a simpler and much easier way. I am a designer. It looks to
me like Adobe went back to making flash for programmers only again
leaving us designers out of the mix. Someone please help me, im
desperate. I also have other old code that im sure im going to have
to convert to AS3 for it to still work, and i may eventually need
help with that as well, but ill stick with this loadMovie problem
for now. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks

have a look here:
http://www.smithmediafusion.com/blog/?p=381
use this:
var i =new Loader();
i.load(new URLRequest(”yourSwf.swf”));
myMC.addChild(i)
myMC is the name of your clip on the stage.

How to add a flash animation into another flash presentation? Help!!!

I made an animation and I am wanting to add it to a flash portfolio that I am now creating. I am creating the portfolio so I can send it to potential employers. I am new to Flash but not to Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign. I am adding several different files from those other programs to the porfolio and want to add a few Flash creations also.So how can I easliy bring the Flash animations into the Presentation? I want the animation to play in the same timeline but I don't want to have to recreate the whole thing or recreate the portfolio. What type of file format does the animation need to be to play? Can this be done?

In AS2 you can use loadmovie to load a .swf into another .swf.

In AS3, something like this:

cssSelector.setStyle(property, Class(content.loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("MainMenu")));
I am stuck here. Any ideas what the problem is?

How to embed Flex swf into existing Flash?

Hello,
I am brand new to Flex, so I desperately need your help!
I have an existing Flash file, written in Flash 8. When I
open this file, it plays in Flash Player 9, the latest player I
have installed on my machine.
This Flash file tries to dynamically load about.swf, a stub
file created by the designer. It works.
I am a programmer, so I want to create my own about.swf in
Flex 2 and then substitue the existing about.swf written in Flash
with my about.swf written in Flex. The problem is that the existing
Flash file just displays a blank when I try loading about.swf
written in Flex.
Is there any way to load SWF file written in Flex 2 into an
Flash file written in Flash 8?
Thank you for your help!!!
Evgueni

I think no.
Flash 8 uses Actionscript 2.0, but Flex 2.0 uses AS3. I think
these will be incompatible, as they use different VMs.
If the two swf's exist individually, in their res[pective VM,
you can communicate between them using LocalConnection.

Loading an external swf into my parent swf?

Does anyone know how I can load an external .swf file into my
parent file? I have tried to use loader actionscript but think I am
using the incorrect script or putting it in the wrong place? If
anyone can tell me the script and where to/how to use it that would
be amazing? Thanks

thanks GWD!
I am using the unloadMovieNum(); command, i have loaded the
child into level 5 of my parent swf. the parent has multiple scenes
this one with a layer with a stop(); action and another layer with
the loadMovieNum("portfolioone.swf", 5); script. it loads the child
perfectly. The child has a number of pictures in it and a back
button at the end. I have been adding the
on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(5);
script to the button which unloads the child but stops
because of the stop action in the first frame of the particular
scene within the parent. I want to be able to add a script to this
button which will take me back to a labeled frame in a particular
scene of the parent, I tried the this.removeMovieClip(); but
doesn't seem to be working for me, Thanks for the reply, hope you
can help me further??

Load external swf into existing mc

I think this is very old question,
in as2 you can just add a external swf inside a mc. like this - loadMovie ("example.swf", "_root.mc"); and that's it.
how do i do that in as3? this following doesn't work..
var newLoader:Loader = new Loader();
function loadMc(evt:MouseEvent) {
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("example.swf");
    newLoader.load(request);
    addChild(mc.newLoader);
can I go remove mc first, and then add the swf as mc again?
removeChild(mc);
addChild(mc);

Hi, moccamaximum,
thank you, going to test-fail-test for a while with this.
meanwhile Im gonna ask ahead another thing
Hi kglad, you gave me the source file for jpegTest yesterday, I tested it work like charm,
now you have these,
import JPEGEncoder;
var bmpd:BitmapData=new BitmapData(mc.width,mc.height);
bmpd.draw(mc);
var jpegEnc:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder(75);
var jpegDat:ByteArray = jpegEnc.encode(bmpd);
then in function localSave it send jpegDat to php for generating the jpeg.
I want to pack these into calling function, so after example.swf loaded into mc, can call the function so the jpegDat will have the data of example.swf and generate the jpeg from it?
jpgDatGenerate('mc');
function jpgDatGenerate (target) {
var bmpd:BitmapData=new BitmapData(target.width,target.height);
bmpd.draw(target);
var jpegEnc:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder(75);
var jpegDat:ByteArray = jpegEnc.encode(bmpd);
obviously something wrong, it gives me something about jpegDat not defined at localSave
what have I missed?

Loading external Swf into a specific area in Fla file

I'm sure this question has been asked a trillion time. But truth be told there's no good tutorial for this out there!
I am trying to load an external swf slide show into my fla file. I want to be able to load into a specific place on the stage.
I have this code for preloader that loads in an external swf, but it covers the entire swf. Is there any way of changing this slightly to allow it to be loaded in one spot?
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("Fuggles Brasserie Restaurant4.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString() +"%";
function done(e:Event):void
removeChildAt(0);
percent = null;
addChild(l);
Cheers
t

If the loaded object fills the stage, then I have to wonder why you need to locate it anywhere specific. Or is it possible you are just unloading the rest of the visuals when you use that removeChildAt(0) command such that the loaded object is the only thing remaining. In any case, you can assign x and y properties to the Loader ( I do it in the done function, but locating the Loader can be done anytime after it is instantiated)...
function done(e:Event):void
     removeChildAt(0);
     percent = null;
     l.x = someX;
     l.y = someY;
     addChild(l);
