How to upload a swf into another swf??

Hi, forgive my ignorance for I am new to the programming world!
I have a game and I'm trying to get it so when the user presses a button, it cuts to the menu screen (a separate swf file)
Now I know how to do this in AS2 -
next_btn.onPress = function() {
     loadMovie("car1.swf","_level0");
But I want to learn how to do it in AS3! I've searched on a few websites for the possible code, but they've all left me feeling very confused and with this:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menu);
function menu(e:MouseEvent): void {
     var loadit = new Loader();
     addChild(loadit);
     loadit.load(new URLRequest("menu.swf"));
Now, I have no idea what the last 3 lines of that code means and it doesn't appear to work either...
If anyone could help me that would be swell!

The code you show should work so long as you have a button with that instance name in the frame where the code is (different layer, preferably) and an swf file by that name in the directory where you've saved this file.
If you want to begin to understand the code try reading thru the help documentation for the Loader class.

Textbox shows xml text in working file but now when loaded into another SWF

Hi all,
I have downloaded an xml gallery (as2) as we needed one for an old as2 file. Now I mostly use as3 but thought as I only needed to tweak it there would be no probs. Of course, it rarely works out that way. The problem is, text loaded from the xml file is displayed with its corresponding image. This works fine in the file. When I load the SWF into another SWF however, it all works EXCEPT the text doesn't show at all?? Whoever made the gallery used 'device fonts' in the textbox, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I tried changing the textbox to dynamic and embedding characters but still nothing.
This seems the key line -
_root.descmc.desc.htmlText = XMLdaten[number];
I have also tried
_root.descmc.desc.htmlText = XMLdaten[number].firstChild;
This traces out the correct xml data when tested so it is finding it okay.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The problem might be in the use of the "_root" You probably need to set _lockroot = true; in the loaded swf, otherwise the _root is that of the loading swf, not the loaded one.

I need to access/pass variables'(s) of a .swf file into another .swf file.

Hi all,
I have basic knowledge of Flash and AS3.0.
Suppose i have a flash swf file(main.swf). In this main.swf
file, i loaded another swf file(sub.swf) by writing the following
code snippet in main.swf file as shown in Attach Code:
Now, how to acess the data present in main.swf into sub.swf.
Note: Here data represents values/data stored in
variables/objects of main.swf file.

Does this actually work -- assigning variables directly on the loader? I'm interested in setting flash variables on the loaded SWF, but I get a compilation error when trying something similar:
Error: Access of possibly undefined property x through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.
[exec]
[exec] textLdr.x = 50;
I also tried casting the loader to Object, which compiles but then fails at runtime.

Load external SWF file into another SWF

Hello all.
I've tried loading a .swf file externally into another .swf file on my local drive, and it works. Now, when I try to Simulate Download, the preloader in the 2nd file doesn't get played and the images in there take a while to get displayed.
I need to load a .swf file from a server into the parent .swf file(I'm working on using a "thin flash file" for added security for the company I work for - blank file which loads the content from another file on their server).
So far, I have:
try
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    addChild(myLoader);
    var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("newBook.swf");
    myLoader.load(url);
catch (e:Error)
    trace("ruhroh");
When I replace the "newBook.swf" with the URL of another .swf, there's just a blank page.
I'm not too sure how to proceed, and I hope you will be able to help me out. I'd greatly appreciate the help.
Many thanks,
-Nazgul

What happens is...when I set the speed to DSL(32.6kbps), the screen is blank and the preloader doesn't show up. It just goes directly to the Main screen. And then, the pages inside don't get loaded properly.
This only happens when I try to Simulate Download.
But that's not really the problem. I need to load a .swf file from a server into another .swf file, and just adding the link to the child .swf isn't working.
Anyway, thanks for your help

GetURL not working when swf is loaded into another swf

Ok, I need some help for something relatively simple which
for some reason I've not been able to find any information on at
all?
Hopefully it will be something easy to fix.
Essentially I have the following:
my main movie "Home.swf"
another movie "Sub.swf"
I've loaded "Sub.swf" into "Home.swf" via an empty movieclip.
Within "Sub.swf" I have some links which when clicked call
getURL and open a HTML page in the browser.
But for some reason the getURL isn't working and I believe
its because the getURL is called from a loaded movie within
"Home.swf".
I've tried changing the actionscript to:
_root.getURL('/mypage.html');
_parent.getURL('/mypage.html');
but neither (_root / _parent) seems to work?
Need help here please.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
M.

Hi kglad,
Yes the button is definitely firing ok.
In the "Sub.swf" movie, on the second frame of the timeline
(the first frame is some preloader code) there is the following
code:
imgMC.mascara.onPress = function() {
//trace('mc[activo] = ' + mc[activo]);
switch(mc[activo])
case _level0.imgMC.MC0:
trace('0 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC1:
trace('1 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC2:
trace('2 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC3:
trace('3 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC4:
trace('4 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC5:
trace('5 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
If I run this movie in Flash (ctrl-enter) then the trace
works fine.
But the trace stops working when I run the main "Home.swf"
movie in Flash (ctrl-enter) when the "Sub.swf" is loaded into an
empty movie clip.
And when I change the trace for a getURL and test in a
browser it still doesn't work?
What do you reckon?
Thanks.

Preserve frame rate when loading one swf into another

Is there a way to preserve the frame rate of a swf when
loading it into another swf that plays at a higher frame rate. I'm
loading some flash ads that mostly run at around 12-15 frames a
second into a portfolio site that runs at around 40 frames per
second. All my ads play too fast. The link is:
www.dg8tal.com/portfolioidea.html
Thanks!

As far as I understand it, there is no option to override the
frame rate designated by the main movie you are loading into. The
SWF file you are loading always inherits the framerate of the SWF
you are loading it into. Here are some suggested work-arounds that
might help:
1) Lower the frame rate of the main movie on the website that
you are loading into.
2) Expand the timelines of the advertisements just for use in
your portfolio
3) Put your menu and thumbnails in one HTML frame that can
then load each item in another HTML frame above it. Since each SWF
would load on its own, the framerate of your main swf would not
matter. You would lose your nice resizing effect though unless you
did some more complicated integration with javascript I imagine.
I would recommend going with option 2, since that will take
the smallest amount of work while preserving your overall design.
However, with the faster framerate, your advertisements would have
difference performance characteristics that you'll need to assess.
I'm trying to think of more options, but these seem to be the
first things that come to mind.

How to include one view into another view

Hi SDN's,
               Could any please tell me,How to include one view into another view.
In my requirment.I want to create a 'Z' view for an interface .In that view i have to take,
1) Ship-to-email adrr by
                          LIKP-KUNNR -> KNA1-ADRNR
                          KNA1-ADRNR -> ADR6-ADDRESNUMBER.
2) E-mail addr of person who created the document.i.e
    LIKP-ERNAM -> USR21-BNAME.
    USR21-ADDRESNUMBER -> ADR6-ADDRESNUMBER
    USR21-PERSNUMBER -> ADR6-PERSNUMBER.
   In both the case we have to pass ADDRESSNUMBER to ADR6 table.
If we pass these condition it fails,B'Coz at a time it passes Two ADDRESSNUMBER and a PERSNUMBER.
So i created two which fetches only the email addr of person who created the document.and another view fetches Ship-to-email addr.
Now i want to include the second view into first view . Is it possible?or please
tell me someother way to get these email addresses in a single view.

hi
as per my knowledge, nested views are not possible. However, while creating a new view, selection method will not giv u option to select the already created view(S) except the tables..i think so.

shamim

How to move a selection into another selection in elements 12

how to move a selection into another selection in elements 12

Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer

How to upload a file into server using j2ee jsp and servlet with bean?

How to upload a file into server using j2ee jsp and servlet with bean? Please give me the reference or url about how to do that. If related to struts is more suitable.
Anyone help me please!

u don't need j2ee and struts to do file uploading. An example is as such
in JSP. u use the <input> file tag like
<input type="file"....>You need a bean to capture the file contents like
class FileUploadObj {
    private FormFile srcFile;
    private byte[] fileContent;
    // all the getter and setter methods
}Then in the servlet, you process the file for uploading
    * The following loads the uploaded binary data into a byte Array.
    FileUploadObj form = new FileUploadObj();
    byte[] byteArr = null;
    if (form.signFile != null) {
        int filesize = form.srcFile.getFileSize();
        byteArr = new byte[filesize];
        ByteArrayInputStream bytein = new ByteArrayInputStream (form.srcFile.getFileData());
        bytein.read(byteArr);
        bytein.close();
        form.setFileContent(byteArr);
    // Write file content using Writer class into the destination file in the server.

Load AS2 swf into AS3 swf problem

to load swf works just fine, but the problem is when i load this i want to go to
a specific part of it, for example i want to go to frame 3 in the loaded swf.
i must control this from the AS3 swf, does someone know if this is possible?
thanks in advance

so can i do like this then to go to frame 3 in my loaded swf?
MovieClip(ldr.content).gotoAndStop(3); ?
sorry for being such an airhead

Subject: load AS2 swf into AS3 swf problem
no.
if, in your loaded swf, you have a function f1() on the loaded swf's main timeline and you load that swf using a loader (say ldr), use:
MovieClip(ldr.content).f1(); // to call f1() in the loaded swf

How to change music in uc320?how to upload mp3 file into uc320?

Dear all,
how to change music in uc320?only one music in uc320?
how to upload mp3 file into uc320?
Thanks
John

I am evaluating the UC320 for a phone system replacement for our 100 locations.
Allowing us to add an MP3 file to replace the current one would be a HUGE cost savings.
This will help us cut cost when compared to the old system.
Currently we are spending $180 on an external mp3 player for an mp3 that’s 3MB in size.
If this system works out we are then going to recommend it to our 1800 franchisees.

Sound plays in stand-alone SWF, but not when SWF is loaded into another SWF

I have my Main FLA (Main.SWF) into which I load another SWF (1.SWF). I have a sound the plays in 1.SWF and it works just fine when I publish 1.SWF alone. When I load 1.SWF into my Main.SWF and publish Main.SWF, the sound in the loaded 1.SWF no longer plays. I can't figure out why.
//Here's the code (AS2) in 1.SWF to play the sound; seems pretty straight forward.
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.attachSound("soundSWF1");
mySound.start();

I found some information on-line that helped me figure out how to fix this issue. First, I moved the sound object code to the timeline of the movieclip in which I wanted to play the sound, even if the movieclip was in a loaded SWF. So if I my sound should play in mc_1.mc_2.mc_3, the sound object is created in mc_3 timeline. Also, when creating the sound object, "this" is placed as the parameter, as such:
soundObject = new Sound(this);
Also, when stoping the sound, I'm using stopAllSounds() instead of soundObject.stop().
I hope this helps someone who is struggling with this same issue.

Need Your Help with Loading SWF into another Flash Movie!

Hello,
I have created TWO Flash movies. They work just fine
individually, but I get problem when I put one into another one!
The main Flash is a Menu and the second one if a Photo Album.
The Menu is series of animation (Moving Objects) which finally
comes into rest and create the menu. The photo album is another SWF
file which is called with in the first Flash Movie (The Menu). The
SWF file is loaded as follow into the Main Flash.
MovieClip.prototype.drawRect = function(x, y, w, h) {
this.beginFill(0xFF0000, 100);
this.moveTo(0, 0);
this.lineTo(0+w, 0);
this.lineTo(0+w, 0+h);
this.lineTo(0, 0+h);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();
this._x = x;
this._y = y;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc6", 6);
mc6.lineStyle (3, 0x000000, 100);
mc6.drawRect(-77, -17, 20, 20);
mc6._xscale = 100;
mc6._yscale = 100;
loadMovie("photoAlbum.swf", mc6);
Problem arises when I click on the Play Button of the
photoAlbum.swf (Photo Album) since the execution of the play button
causes the Flash starts once again from the beginning of the entire
Flash Movie (Beginning of the animation creating the menu) and it
simply jumps into the Firm One of my Flash Movie.
Could you tell me how I can isulate what is in layer 6 (Where
the photoAlbum is loaded to) from the rest of my Flash Movie?
I hope I managed to explain my problem. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Babak

Hello Anya,
I have realized the problem arises from the Wait Function
which causes the Photo Album to pause for a period of time (Two
Seconds) once a Photo is fully displayed (I have Fade in/out Photo
Album). I realized everything works OK once I remove the function
and rather left the Photos to be flipped without any pausing (This
is an Auto-loading Album which simply Flips the photos!).
Here is the Wait Function which is causing all the trouble.
function wait()
stop();
var myInterval = setInterval(function ()
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
}, 2000);
Thank you so much for your help.
Cheers,
Babak
