External Swf on Android Air and IOS Air

Hello
Can android AIR and IOS AIR app download and play external SWF with code inside?
I have created android AIR app(SDK version 4.0) which load external swf with simple movie clip on the scene.
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("2.swf"));
function onLoaded(e:Event):void
addChild(loader);
I have installed this android AIR app on device but i do not see external swf on the scene.
Thanks in advance

So for ios as3 code must be like this one.?
var _urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("2.swf");
var _loader:Loader = new Loader();
var _lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null);
_loader.load(_urlRequest, _lc);
addChild(_loader);
One more question: How exactly i can add the external swf to the included files?
Can you give link with information or some sample? Also, does it work on Android Air?
If you have sample for ios Air or for Andoid Air i will be very appreciative.
Sorry for my english.

[ISSUE] Load external .swf into an AIR for iOS app

I want to load an external .swf which is included theme objects of the application. The loader class finishes loading but after this when I try to get objects in the swf I get this error.

Steps are:
1- Create a .fla file and one object in it (like below):
2- In Flash Builder 4.6
Load the external swf:
                var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
                var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("themes/DefaultTheme/DefaultTheme.swf");
                var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null);
                swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
                swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
                swfLoader.load(url, loaderContext);
        private function completeHandler(event:Event):void
            var evt:LoadThemeSWFEvent = new LoadThemeSWFEvent(LoadThemeSWFEvent.COMPLETE);
            if (AdaptiveHelper.getInstance().platform == PlatformType.DESKTOP)
                evt.swfLoader = SWFLoader(event.currentTarget);
            else
                evt.loader = Loader(event.currentTarget.loader)
            dispatchEvent(evt);
          // load is OK
        private function ioErrorHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void
After load is complete I tried to get the object from the swf file and use it as a skin class of a button.
cssSelector.setStyle(property, Class(content.loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("MainMenu")));
I am stuck here. Any ideas what the problem is?
My Best,

Hi Suat,
Can you send me a sample application @[email protected] with which I can reproduce your problem and can look into the issue?

Load and consecutively play external swf's

Hi,
I have three external swf files - part1, part2 and part3. I
know how to load one clip but I would like to know how to
dynamically load them into an empty MC and then play them in full
consecutively without any fancy transitions so that it plays like
one big movie using Actionscript (no button triggers!).
I have some very BASIC actionscript knowledge but am not sure
which way is best. If someone could give me some "simple" step by
step advise it would be grately apreciated.
Danielle

Ok I followed your instructions and when I play the main swf
(I call - load_swfs) file it plays part1.swf fine but then it gets
to the first frame of part2.swf (which is blank) and just stops and
doesn't go any farther! Did I put something in the wrong place?
I've written what I did and where below.
// In my main file (load_swfs) it's just a single blank frame
with this code in it :-
tl=this;
swfA=["part1.swf","part2.swf","part3.swf"];
dep=0;
numLoaded = 0;
totalLoad=3;
lo=new Object();
lo.onLoadInit=function(target){
numLoaded++;
checkIfAllLoaded();
function checkIfAllLoaded(){
if(numLoaded==totalLoad){
holder1.play();
} else {
mc=this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder"+(numLoaded+1),dep++);
mcl.loadClip(swfA[numLoaded],mc);
mcl=new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.addListener(lo);
mc=this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder"+(numLoaded+1),dep++);
mcl.loadClip(swfA[numLoaded],mc);
// In part1.swf in the last frame is :-
tl.holder2.play();
this.removeMovieClip();
// In part2.swf frame 1 is blank with a stop(); and in the
last frame is:-
tl.holder3.play();
this.removeMovieClip();
// In part3.swf frame 1 is blank with a stop();
Let me know where I went wrong!
Thanks

Is it possible to Load External SWF files into Flex Mobile projects?

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to load an external asset in this cse (a SWF file) into my flex project (Apple IOS IPAD), don't get any luck. Can any one suggest a solution ?

In Apple's words, "No interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple's Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s)".
Hence external swfs cannot be loaded in iOS.

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,
Boxing Boom

MovieClip(this.parent).removeChild(this);
Unfortunately I couldn't get this to work. I placed it on the
last frame of the SWF to be called - is that right?
I am not sure I am doing it correctly...

Loading external swf not complete

Hi, I'm trying to load external swf (with more than one frame and actionscript 3 on every frame - I used there "timeline" coding) from my main swf.
code for loading external swf into main swf:
var loader01:Loader;
function openGame1(evt:Event):void
loader01 = new Loader();
var requestSWF01:URLRequest = new URLRequest("game01.swf");
loader01.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, processHandler);
loader01.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);
loader01.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
loader01.load(requestSWF01);
addChild(loader01);
function processHandler(evt:ProgressEvent):void
var loaded:Number=evt.target.bytesLoaded;
var total:Number=evt.target.bytesTotal;
var stav:Number=loaded/total;
loaded_txt.text=(Math.round(stav*100))+" %";
function initHandler(evt:Event):void{
loaded_txt.text="";
function errorHandler(evt:IOErrorEvent):void
trace ("Error: " + evt.text);
I found out that this works only for loading swf, which has only one frame (and all actionscript on that frame)... It seems that if there are more frames, than it will not load complete swf (hmm maybe it is caused, because not all objects on frames are export in first frame). Preloading starts but after for example 20 % the event.INIT is fired and the external swf starts to play (and crashes..).
You can see this here http://bvyborcik.xf.cz/ If you click on the blue building on the left with blinking text "Start hry" you will see what happens - preloading is not completed and after clicking on first floor btn, the swf crashes...
Please is there a solution for this kind of problem? Any help or pointing is welcome.
regards Boris

just curious, is the file you want to load the swf into set up exactly the same way with the same stage size, fps, and layers?

HELP PLEASE - loading external swf scale problem

I have a Flex 3 Actionscript Project. Basically all it does it take some flash vars, set the sound volume, and load an external swf using a loader and add the loader as a child. The problem is I want the loaded external swf to be scaled to fill the entire stage, even if it distorts it, and that doesn't seem to be happening.
I really need to resolve this. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.
Marcus

Thanks for the reply!
Here's basically what my code looks like (note: I cut some stuff out that wasn't relevant for the sake of clarity).
private var swfLoader:Loader = null;
public function MySwfContainer()
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfUrl);
    swfLoader = new Loader();
    swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,SWFLoader_Complete);
    swfLoader.load(request);
private function SWFLoader_Complete(event:Event):void
    addChild(swfLoader);
What I am observing is that if a swf larger than the stage area is loaded it clips it rather than scale it down and make it fit.

Get external swf width height

Hi,
I'm am trying to load an external swf file using a different swf that is on a different domain. I have noticed that it is possible to use addChild on the external swf, but when I try to get its contents width and height using contentLoaderInfo I get a security sandbox error.
It seems it is possible to fix it by using Security.allowDomain("*") and Security.allowInsecureDomain("*") in the external file.
And now it's get tricky, the external swf file is a file that users upload to my site so I don't have control on the code so I can't add the "allowDomain" part.
The second swf (the host file that loads the external file) is a file that I let others to embed on their site.
The intresting thing is that when I share the host swf on facebook there is no problem, and I don't even need to add the code for "allowDomain" on the external file.
I it makes a different, I use HTTPS protocol to access to the external swf.
I tried to load the crossdomain.xml file, but it didn't help.
What can I do? the only data I need to get on the external swf is its width and height to scale it to the host file.
Thank you

Thank you.
Now it looks i am getting close but not exacly there.
Everytime I get near something else doesn't work properly.
Now I get the dimension after two things:
I added 'secure="false"' to the https' crossdomain and added LoaderContext to when I load the external event:
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.checkPolicyFile = true;
Now you probably ask what's the problem.
well I have no idea why, but it looks like the external swf file I load (which is as2, but I still didn't check if it matters) keeps on jumping between its first frame and second frame ( The swf has two frames). If you having hard time to imaging what I mean, lets say this jumping between frames is really not recommended for people with Epilepsy.
It has a stop() action, but sadly the player doesn't care.
let me remind you that if I only addChild the Loader (without the context) it looks fine, but I need the width and height to resize the swf.
anyone knows what can cause this?
and thx again martinjamesroberts1 for the link, it put me on the right track.

External swf. preloader blues

Hiya,
I've just finished a website which is nearly ready to go
live, all except the preloader. I need to have external swfs
preload before running, and after going through a few tutorials and
threads, I'm pretty sure that my website is constructed in such a
way as to make it difficult to impliment the tutorials into my
work.
I've attached 2 fla. files (the main parent and one of the
external files. ), and would be really greatful if someone could
take a look at them and let me know how I could create a preloader
for the exteranl files (in the attachement's case the
"visual.fla").
Thanks a million for your time.
...Probably obvious, but the visual.swf is launched when the
"visual" button is pressed on the main home.swf.
Cheers!

Simple AS3 external swf playing code?

Hi
I'm after some REALLY simple code, and am happy to pay someone via Paypal to do this for me.
I want to have a one frame piece of AS3 code that loads in external swfs from an array.
I want external swf 1 to play, and when it's finished, swf 1 unloads from memory, and then external swf 2 starts playing and so on through the array.
When the end of the array is met, it loops back to the first swf and starts again.
I don't need transition effects or anything like that.
This is to be used for an offline project, so it's not connected to the web.
I've been playing with it for a while myself, but can't get this to work. It should be a simple and quick job for someone out there. Just load a new swf into the child holder and play. When that swf's finished playing, dump it, and load in and play the next one.
Thanks for your help.
Shaun

Nothing at this stage - I'm still experimenting to figure out the best way to do it. I found something like what I want at http://www.flashandmath.com/intermediate/externalclips/ext_clip2.html (without button control though - there's a code addition at the bottom to add in to make the swfs play by themselves).
The problem with the above example is I can't get any external swfs besides the example ones to play. I even tried renaming my as3 swfs to clip0 etc, but still nothing.
If someone can make it for me, and it means I have to add some code to the end of each external swf, if they can include the code to add, I can incorporate it no probs.
Cheers
Shaun

Loading External swf - different versions

This must be an easy question that I thought I knew the
answer to. I recently made a series of games that required parsing
an XML document which provided the paths to various external swfs.
The UI and the external swfs were all exported as Flash 7 movies.
However, for a variety of reasons, it was necessary to update the
UI to Flash 8. I made updates, tested in Flash and all was dandy.
However, testing in a browser / the stand alone player and the
external movies did not load. Pure and simple. I tried a whole host
of things until i finally re-exported the external swfs (which had
remained untouched) and suddenly it works. Long story short, can a
movie exported as a later version of Flash not load movies that
were exproted in a previous version? This doesn't seem right. I
knew the reverse was true and made sense, but this seems crazy
especially since testing the files in Flash itself works.

interesting point. The only thing I could think of is any
"init" code from flash 7 might have been depreciated that you are
using and not supported in 8.

Loading External SWF using Absolute Path

Hi,
I am having trouble loading an external swf on a server using the absolute path. This external swf uses webcam streams and is loaded in the original swf file using the URL request code. I can load other swfs but just not that one. I have set the permission of the external swf to allow write/read/execute. Any help is apprieciated.
P.S. I have also tried changing the location and name but still doesn't help.
//Loads the augmented SWF into the main timeline.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.reminisce.me/files/jz_AR.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request);
arHolder.addChild(loader);
arHolder.x=300;
arHolder.y=125;
Thank you for your help in advance.
-John

I can´t get the linked swf to run in any browser, are you sure that it compiled right?
