External swf when loaded isn't synced?

Hi,
When I load an external SWF into my flash movie, the video
lags behind. Any ideas why?
Everything is fine when that SWF movie plays on it's own.
thanks,
Dave

HI,
My files loads an external swf (containing the video) into a
container on my stage. The loaded swf contains the embedded wmv
movie file, which is quite large I might add. Do I need to cut file
size or change to flv?
thanks again.

I want to load external swf in movieclip and next external swf should load Automatically

I want to load external swf in movieclip and next external swf should load Automatically when current swf is finished in AS3.
How can we can check total frame and current frame of imported swf in a movie clip.
any help will be appreciated
regards,
Jatin Dembla

in as3 you use the loader class (not movieclips) to load external swfs.
you can use an Event.COMPLETE event listener (applied to the loader's contentLoaderInfo property) to check when loading is complete and start the next swf loading.
you can use the loader's content property (caste as a movieclip) to determine info (including totalFrames) about the loaded swf's main timelnie (once loading is initialized, for the totalFrames, or complete, for some other properties like height and width).
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadcompleteF);
loader.load(new URLRequest("swf1.swf"));
var loadedSWF:MovieClip;
function loadcompleteF(e:Event):void{
loadedSWF=MovieClip(loader.content);
trace(loadedSWF.totalFrames);

Stopping external SWF when new SWF is loaded

Ok.... hmmmmm. I am currently working on a flash site that
loads external SWFs for each page. one of the SWFs contains a
sitepal movie. the sitepal has been coded to stop playing and
unload on a frame change but it keeps playing when a link in the
index is clicked and another SWF comes in. (in other words there is
no frame change. the new SWF loads but the old one keeps playing)
make sense?
I just need the site pal to stop playing when the next SWF
loads!
each link on the bottom is part of the main.swf
(index.swf)...
I need the links on the bottom to "turn off" the SWF when a
new page is choosen. the External SWFs are labled 1-5....
attached is a simple diagram in .jpg format explaining the
functionality of the site!
any insight is appreciated...
PS
IM NO CODE MONKEY.... more of a point-click, copy-paste type
o dude..

Loading external SWF when first one is finishes

The code I have so far is included below. Right now the first swf (first of two loaded into main swf) (intro.swf) loads fine on mouseclick of the "go" button. However I would like the first swf to unLoad and the second swf to load ("europe.swf"). This will be a one frame swf that will link to various others. After multiple tutorials/forums I can't figure out how to get the second swf to load while the first unloads.
I hope I make sense and thanks for any help.
import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.net.URLRequest; go.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goIntro); var loaderIntro:Loader = new Loader(); var contentIntro:MovieClip; function goIntro(e:MouseEvent):void {      loaderIntro.load(new URLRequest("intro.swf"));      addChild(loaderIntro); } function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void {      if (contentIntro.currentFrame == contentIntro.totalFrames) {           removeChild(loaderIntro);           loaderIntro.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);           loaderIntro.unloadAndStop();             var loaderEurope:Loader = new Loader();             loaderEurope.load(new URLRequest("europe.swf"));             addChild(loaderEurope);                  } }

So,
I finally figured it out. Most likely not the best option or completely correct but it works how I want it to. So what I have is my "welcome.swf" that loads the "intro.swf", once this finishes playing the "europe.swf" loads, which is a interactive menu to go further into particular countries/regions.
My welcome page only needs to be 1 frame, but i put a stop(); on that first frame and then added the same number of frames that are in the "intro.swf" and added a button to that last frame "goplayEurope" of "welcome.swf" that unloads "intro.swf" and loads "europe.swf". I know not the best way! But I'm not the best (or even past beginner) at as3. I've also figured out a way after nearly endless searches thanks to google and forums like this to communicate back to parent swf to tell it when the loaded swf is in it's last frame. So hopefully this helps someone!!! And PLEASE feel free to correct me/my code wherever necessary...I know it's far from perfect.
In frame1 of "welcome.swf" (also has a loader)
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;
go.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goIntro);
var loaderIntro:Loader = new Loader();
var contentIntro:MovieClip;
var myPB:ProgressBar = new ProgressBar();
myPB.source = loaderIntro.contentLoaderInfo;
myPB.x = 300;
myPB.y = 350;
myPB.width = 400;
myPB.height = 10;
function goIntro(e:MouseEvent):void
     loaderIntro.load(new URLRequest("intro.swf"));
     loaderIntro.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, startIntro);
     go.visible = false;
     addChild(myPB);
     function startIntro (e:Event):void
          addChild(loaderIntro);
          play();
          removeChild(myPB);
And frame375 of welcome.swf ("intro.swf" has 375 frames as well)
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
goplayEurope.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goEurope);
var loaderEurope:Loader = new Loader();
var contentEurope:MovieClip;
function goEurope(e:MouseEvent):void
     loaderEurope.load(new URLRequest("europe.swf"));
     addChild(loaderEurope);
     goplayEurope.visible = false;
     loaderIntro.unload();
Now for the communication communicating the last frame has been reached...here is a simple example. I think there are still a lot of issues with this one so please help out if you can. For this example the sending swf is 100 frames
Sending swf
import flash.net.LocalConnection
var function1:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function2);
function function2(e:Event) :void
     if(this.currentFrame == 100)
          function1.send("connectionname", "functionsendname");
//so that the mc goes back to frame 1, otherwise I've found it doesn't play right if you choose to play again
gotoAndStop(1);
Receiving swf
var function1:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
function1.client = this;
function1.connect("connectionname");
function functionnamesend() :void
     loadername.unload(); //the loader name is what you call your loader variable when loading said swf
So like I said, none of this is perfect but is working for me, constructive criticism extremely welcomed!!!

Urgent! external swf not loading with swfobject!

hello there,
I have a swf that loads another one into it through an empty
movieclip - When i embed it with swfobject it doesnt appear.
My guess is that i would have to mention the external swf in
the flashvars ... Done that with no success.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing me this
trouble?
thanks

Generally the problem will be that the path of all externally
loaded content is relative to the html page, NOT the swf location.
If everything is in the same folder then that isn't it.
Otherwise nice dice is correct, we will need to see your code
to go further.

External .swf not loading on HTML pages

Good morning,
I'm having trouble and I was hoping someone could shed some light on what I'm doing wrong. I have a main .swf file from which external .swf files are being loaded through the use of buttons.
When I preview the animation, everything works just fine. The problem occurs when I put the animation on the website where it needs to be. The main animation appears like it's supposed to, but the buttons are not successful in loading the external .swf files. I've made sure that all .swf files are on the server but still nothing. Could anyone help? I'm not sure what the problem is.
Here's the AS:
stop();
var presentationLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(presentationLoader);
//Navigation
presentation1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void
presentationLoader.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name + ".swf"));
function homeClick(event:MouseEvent):void
presentationLoader.unload();
Thank you,
- Cmarcoux

For anyone having a similar problem in the future, the solution is in bold:
stop();
var presentationLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(presentationLoader);
//Navigation
presentation1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
presentation6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void
presentationLoader.load(new URLRequest("../../media/flash/" + event.target.name + ".swf"));
function homeClick(event:MouseEvent):void
presentationLoader.unload();
For the animation to work on a website, the file path was needed.

External SWF file load problem

External swf movie loading slow

Hello,
I am working on this site and I am doing a video page. I am
loading video externally by creating an empty movie clip. I then
assign a video to a button to call the external swf video. This
works great locally but when I upload it to production it is SUPER
slow.
My purpose of loading it externally was to make it load
faster. The video is 3 minutes long. The external swf file I
created for the video is 5.2 MB.
I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks

Here are a couple of references that might help:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?cont ext=Flash_MX_2004&file=00000338.html
Using the video as a SWF file means it has to load the entire
movie before it plays anything. As a FLV file, it starts to play as
the file is still being loaded. I would recommend trying to use the
File -> Import -> Import Video and look a Progressive
Download option. I don't recall off-hand if it's available that
easily in MX2004, but that's how it works with CS3. If that doesn't
work, the second link has some code to try.

Loading External SWF that loads XML

Hey all I have a swf that loads an swf file into that loads pictures from an XML file thanks to Ned Murphy. I have a new problems with it. It works everywhere I try it except on the webserver. When I try it I get nothing. It doesnt seem to load the external SWf file or it may not be loading the XML file. I am not sure why. Has anyone ran into this before ? thanks.
EDIT
It works if I try the SWF from the webserver but when I embed it in an HTML file and run it through a broweser I get nothing.

If the swf is is another folder from the html page that embeds it, you probably need to adjust how you target the files that the swf's load.
When you embed an swf file into a web page, anything the swf loads has to be targeted as if that swf is in the same folder as the html page that holds it. So if the html page uses something like "flash/main.swf" to embed the top level swf, then if the top level file loads another swf from that same flash folder it needs to also use the "flash/other.swf" regardless that it is in the same folder on the server. When it's embedded in the page, it's as good as being wherever that page lives.

Checking an external swf is loaded?

Hi
I'm loading an external .swf via typing the swf name into an input text field and hitting a submit button.
The swf loads fine, but I'm trying to incorporate updating a status text field on a succesful load or if there is an error during loading.
I can't find my mistake in the code - to me it should be making load_status_txt display "ok", but the swf just loads with no status update.
All the text fileds are fine, because if I code load_status_txt.text = "hello" straight after addChild(loader); - load_status_txt displays "hello"
Can anyone see an obvious mistake below?
Thanks so much again.

var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest(loadSwf.text);

loader.x = Xpos;
loader.y = Ypos;
addChild(loader);
        loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataOnLoad);
    } else load_status_txt.text = "All fields are mandatory"

Enabling Parent button while external swf is loaded [AS3]

Hello everyone,
I am very new to Flash and it takes me a while to understand what code is trying to tell me
The problem I am currently facing is as follows:
After searching the net for hours I finally figured out, how to load an external swf into my main timeline. As far as I understand this main timeline is the "parent". Hence the loaded, external swf should be the "child" (a quiz).
Now the child (a quiz) loads into the flash file and is played properly, but I cannot access the button on the parent anymore. Unfortunately, I really need the home button on the parent to exit the quiz and allow for new navigation within the flash document.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you all in advance.
Kliph
my AS3 Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
function onClick611 (event:MouseEvent) :void
        gotoAndPlay("home_einf")
home_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick611);
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
function startLoad()
    var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("quiz.swf");
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event)
addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
    function onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent)
    var percent:Number = mProgress.bytesLoaded/mProgress.bytesTotal;
trace(percent);
startLoad();
stop();

By simply using addChild like you have, you're placing the loaded content above everything on the display list - covering your button. There are a few ways to solve. The easiest, if it works for you, is to just make a new layer in your timeline - make it the top most layer, and place your home button in that layer.
Then change your addChild line from:
addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
to:
addChildAt(loadEvent.currentTarget.content, numChildren - 2);
This will place the loaded content behind the button.
Alternatively, you can set the button to export for AS and then add it after you add the loaded file. Or you can use content containers - empty sprites that you add first, and then fill with other objects, in order to control layering.

Loading external swf using Loader.load() method is delayed with flash player 10.1 and next versions.

I am trying to load an external swf file of size 300 kb using Loader.load() method and trying to access some objects in it and i am getting some delay in loading the external file with flash players 10.1 and next versions.
The action script code used to load:
var strUrl:String="toLoad.swf";
var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest(strUrl);
var ldrLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var ldrLoaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
ldrLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, externakSwfLoaded);
ldrLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorInLoadingSwf);
ldrLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, errorInLoadingSwf);
ldrLoaderContext.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
ldrLoader.load(urlReq, ldrLoaderContext);
addChild(ldrLoader);
System specifications:
O.S. Windows XP sp2 (32 bit)
Browser IE 6.0 (128 bit)
Flash Player version WIN 10,2,152,32

I think you are lost. This forum is for ROME. It sounds like you want one of the Flash or Flex forums...
Good luck!

Get a window with external website when loading iview

Hi,
i wrote a iView which calls a external website with a couple of computed parameters .
The iview has the following JS code :
function openSite(){
var oChild = window.open("https://emea.website.com/login.jsp?un=usernameABC&pw=B0C328098DA439DEC12578B000407BED", "website","width=768,height=1024");
return false;
I call the function in the body using onload and as a anchor with onclick.
So far so good outside the portal. But when i call the iview in the portal nothing happens.
When i click on the link, it brings me to the correct website.
My Question : What do I have to do to get the window open within the portal?
Regards,
Kai

Hi,
i found a solution by myself:
My body tag was not the only one within the HTML, hence no onload method was called.
I added a javascript tag and called the javascript function there.
Thanks for trying to help.
Kai
