How to detect the end of an external swf loaded into a container

Hi,
I'm having trouble finding a solution for this problem, can somebody help me?
I have a main swf that will load external swfs into a container. I need to detect the end of the loaded external swf in order to start to load and play a new one into the same container.
The problem is that i do not know what the length of the external swfs will be, and will have no control over the development of them, so i cannot place a variable at the end of their animation which would allow me to detect from the main movie its end.
I also cannot rely on the _totalFrames property because the loaded swf might not have all the animation inside its main timeline.
Is there any way to achieve this goal?
Thx

Ok... Its as i thought... unfortunatly...
Gonna mark your latest post again as possible solution, just in case someone comes with any sort of out of the box thing...
Thx for your help Kglad

How to detect the end of a movie clip: what eventListener to use?

I'm doing a rather fancy button with up,down,rollover,rollout,and static states, something the standard flash button structure isn't capable of as far as I can tell, and believe me, I've tried it.
Here's the setup: My main timeline has a series of frames with stop(): scripts, and each frame has a movie clip representing what should happen during that state: still, rollover, rollout, mousedown, mouseup
I can't get the mouseup event to work.
Here's what I've tried so far that doesn't work:
1. in the imbedded movieclip, no script at the end. Result: This just loops the embedded clip.
2. in the imbedded movieciip, put gotoAndPlay("NextFrame"), where "NextFrame" is the label in the root movie where I want to go. result: loops clip
3. in the imbedded movieciip, put root.gotoAndPlay("NextFrame"), where "NextFrame" is the label in the root movie where I want to go. result: error
I think what I need to do is write an eventListener for the root actionscript, but I don't know what event to listen for.
What event is thrown when a movieclip finishes playing?
:<)McFrisco

You have to create your own mechanism(s) for detecting the end of a movieclip being reached. You can either build code into the end of the clip itself, possibly dispatching an event that is being listened for by a containing timeline, or you could continuously monitor the currentFrame of the clip to see if it equals the totalFrames value.

Help, How to detect the end of sentence in a plain text

Hi, Everyboday
I really don't know how to use ArrayList and endsWith to realize detecting the following question. Could you give me some help? Thank you!
1. find the end of the sentence. that means that we print it out if you meet "!" or "." .....
2. calculating the frequency of the key word in the whole text. maybe using IDF..

     public static void main (String[] args){
          try{
               File myFile = new File("Test.txt");

Loading external SWF's into an SWF Loader as3 style?

Hi,
I've recently made the switch from as2 to as3 and am still struggling to get my head around one aspect in particular. I've managed to load one external swf into a blank file via the script
import LoadDisplayObject;
var loader:LoadDisplayObject = new LoadDisplayObject("button_01.swf", true);
loader.addEventListener("displayObjectLoaded", onComplete, false, 0, true);
addChild(loader);
function onComplete(evt:Event):void {
     trace("loaded complete received");
     loader.scaleX = loader.scaleY = .75;
.....however I'm struggling with the script to make a swfs load into a space when one of my 3 buttons is clicked....
My page currently has three buttons (button_01, button_02 and button_03) and in a local folder three separate swfs with the same names which I wish to load in, when the appropriate button is pressed.
I have managed to get them to load in using a tutorial...however they load over the top of each over...far from ideal. From research on the internet I've found a range of different script...but I just can’t find anywhere I can find script to make this work..hence why I have turned to here.
Any help much appreciated...thanks in advance.

Hi,
Just throught I would let you know that I've manged to get this to work this morning. Changed the script slightly and used a different method of:
var home:MovieClip = this;
function butt1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.load(new URLRequest("button_01.swf"));
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
function butt2Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.load(new URLRequest("button_02.swf"));
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
function butt3Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.load(new URLRequest("button_03.swf"));
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
function loaded(evt: Event):void {
    if(contentClip.numChildren > 0){
        contentClip.removeChildAt(0);
    contentClip.addChild(evt.target.content);
button_01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, butt1Click);
button_02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, butt2Click);
button_03.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, butt3Click);
seems to work well. Only small question is if I want one page to load automatically upon opening...how do I alter the script to do this??? Thanks

Is there a way to detect the end of a video?

Is there a way to detect the end of a video.. .mp4 or youtube? I want to be able to detect the end of a video and then have it do something...ie play on timeline or go to and play symbol.

For youtube the code would be something like this:
view-source:calkaweb.herobo.com/video.html
for HTML5 videos for youtube replace &version=3 with &html5=1 in the youtube URL
I have no idea how to impletent the youtube code into Edge tho other than an iframe but that wouldn't work I've tried :
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1285212
You would need to place all of the youtube codes into edge in order for it to work but I duno how to do that and no1 answered the question in the thread I made about it.
as for MP4/HTML5 video you can use
var video = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
video.onended = function(e) {
/*Do Something*/

Hi,
As per your reuirement. I will suggest to use IKM SQL to SQL append. and Before Insert statement in IKM u need to add one more step i.e update. Your update should be like this
command on sourse.
<%for (int i=0; i < odiRef.getDataSetCount(); i++){%>
<%=odiRef.getDataSet(i, "Operator")%>
select      <%=odiRef.getPop("DISTINCT_ROWS")%>
     <%=odiRef.getColList(i,"", "[EXPRESSION]\t[ALIAS_SEP] [CX_COL_NAME]", ",\n\t", "", "((INS and !TRG) and REW)")%>
from     <%=odiRef.getFrom(i)%>
where     <% if (odiRef.getDataSet(i, "HAS_JRN").equals("1")) { %>
     JRN_FLAG <> 'D'
     <%} else {%>
     (1=1)
     <% } %>
<%=odiRef.getJoin(i)%>
<%=odiRef.getFilter(i)%>
<%=odiRef.getJrnFilter(i)%>
<%=odiRef.getGrpBy(i)%>
<%=odiRef.getHaving(i)%>
<%}%>
Command on target..
UPDATE <%=odiRef.getTable("L", "TARG_NAME", "A")%> T
set <%=odiRef.getColList("", "T.[COL_NAME]", ",\n\t", "", "(UD2)")%> ='N',
<%=odiRef.getColList("", "T.[COL_NAME]", ",\n\t", "", "(UD1)")%> =SYSDATE
where (<%=odiRef.getColList("","T.[COL_NAME]", ", ", "", "UK")%>)
in(<%=snpRef.getColList("", ":[CX_COL_NAME]", ", ", "", "UK")%>) and <%=odiRef.getColList("", "T.[COL_NAME]", ",\n\t", "", "(UD2)")%> <> 'N'

How to detect the Acrobat Browser Plug-in version installed on a users system for non-IE browsers?

How to detect the *Acrobat Browser Plug-in version* installed on a users system, on Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc?
Or one script for detecting Plug-in version for major browsers. Need full example code.

Wrote an article on this with code samples (Javascript + HTML) - basically there are differences between IE and other browsers. Chrome natively comes with the Chrome PDF Viewer so I've incorporated that in my detection script.
The script detects the browser type, and the installed acrobat version...

How to detect the path of Temp directory

I am writing a class library which allows users to manipulate a database in the web server java applications/applets. In my logic the Application/Applet communicate with a CGI script/Servlet in the server and that do all the database handling. My objective is to make the Client independant from the Database Drivers, and to some restrictions and possible security threats that can arrice when accessing the database directly.
99% of the work is done and now I am doing the fine tuning.
My Problem:
When the user downloading a blob object from the server database. each time the program read the blob it will get a new copy from the server. This is not good if the blob is large (few 100 megs) . So I am going to implement a cache system. but the problem is If I am caching in the memory it will not support large objects (Memory is a limited factor). So the preferance is use the Temperary files but I do not know how to detect the path to temperary folder.
And my 2nd questions is are the applets allowed to write and read in temperary folder.

The Java default temporary file path can be determined with
System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")This is typically the same value as the os environment variable

How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?

How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?
I have a HTML extension running in In-design CC 2014 version.
I want to perform some required set of actions before my extension window is closed(by clicking on the cross button on top right corner).
Does In-design throws any event for it? Or can we capture it using C++ plugin in some way?

Naah.......haven't got any event for that yet.
Although, since HTML extensions are using chromium browser, as a workaround, u can attach listener to HTML onClose event, but it won't solve any purpose if you
are looking to logout session or do some business login in your code.

How to detect the final loop iteration of a step in a PostStep Engine Callback?

I see the need to use a PostStep Engine Callback and look at the Step.Result container of the caller.
My issue: If the caller is configured to loop, the PostStep Engine CB executes with each iteration and I do not see how to detect the final iteration (which is the only iteration I am interested in).
Ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance,
Guenter

Guenter,
well, the way i discripted IS the generic way. The reason for this is the following:
You can compare TestStand very well with procedural programming languages. So you have variables with different lifetimes and scope. RunState is one variable, which is available in every scope, but it may have different content.
So you leaving the execution of your clientsequence in order to call the callback, you leave the scope of the RunState from your clientsequence. But only there the information is stored on how many iterations are left. It does not make sense to pass this anywhere, since the execution of your clientsequence has to decide if to loop further or not.
But, please note that there are different scopes for the "disable result recording" as well. You have found the most global one, the station option. But you can as well set this in the sequence settings (Edit >> Sequence Properties >> Disable Result Recording for All Steps) and at step-level (Run Options >> Record Result {uncheck it}).
Looping on a single step using the step settings, you can additionally choose not to record results for each iteration. This will lead to only a single entry in the ResultList, the overall result of the looped step (if resultcollection is enabled of course!).
hope this helps,
Norbert

Detecting the end of an appendBytes NetStream

Normally to detect the end of a NetStream, you can add a listener like this:
myNetStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, statusHandler);
and check for NetStatusEvents. If you're using appendBytes on your NetStream, it seems you don't get any useful NetStatusEvents aside from NetStream.Buffer.Full at the very beginning. Is there a way to know when the stream ends then? If you wanted to make something happen when it was over, would you just have to do it based on the duration of the stream?

unsure...

flvplayers, brought in through import. I have used netstream

Does any body knows how to detect the resolution of an inserted image in word?

I'm not sure I understand your reply but when you insert images into Word that are larger than will fit on the page, they are automatically compressed. If you right click and select Size and Position you can restore it to 100% but you will not see all the image.
