IE Active Content + Dynamically Loaded Swfs...any help?

Hi,
I've recently become aware of the whole IE active content
problem and I followed the tutorial at
http://activecontent.blogspot.com/
to adjust my html files accordingly. However I have one site
located at:
http://www.mrdodson.com/SavannahSucks/SavannahSucks.html
which loads several swfs dynamically. However in IE none of the
swfs will start loading until you click on one of the markers
which, unfortunately locks the user into a zoomed in view with no
way of exiting until the external file finishes loading. Can anyone
provide any suggestion on how I can get around this? Should I load
the clips in a different fashion or can it be resolved by adding
something to the HTML? I'm a recent grad trying to finish up my
portfolio and this is really holding me back. Many thanks for any
suggestions.
-Rob

please if anyone knows anything i would really appreciate it.
i can't send my portfolio out until i fix this one thing so pretty
much my life is on hold until i can resolve this.

  • TotalFrames of dynamically loaded swf

    I've been trying for 2 days now to find the total number of frames of a dynamically loaded .swf.
    Here's an example code:
    var loader:Loader = new Loader;
    loader.load(new URLRequest("mop.swf"))
    master_mc.addChild(loader);
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoadedF);
    function xmlLoadedF(event:Event):void
        trace(loader.content.totalFrames);
    I am truly puzzled.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think this might be complicated by loading an AS2 movie into an AS3 document.
    The error message is telling you that there is no totalFrames property and in fact AS2 movies would have a _totalframes property.
    So you could try that.
    Also I'm not sure if event.currentTarget.content returns a MovieClip or a DisplayObject. If it is a DisplayObject (which is most likely) then it too wouldn't have  totalFrames property. So you might need to cast it as a MovieClip. Something like this:
    MovieClip(event.currentTarget.content).totalFrames
    And or it could be some combination of these two above issues? I don't know really, I'm just grasping at straws. But I don't see any way to know when a clip is done playing other than to compare its currentFrame to totalFrames.

    If it's still asking for the seller's Apple ID and password, then he most likely did not actually remove the iPhone from iCloud. If the problem persists, return the iPhone and get your money back. The seller can figure out the problem and resell the iPhone later.

    Pretty much the ipod is going to need to be repair. I would suggest taking it into the nearest Apple Store because they give you a 10% discount for older ipods towards a new ipod.

    I, on the other hand, had no brightness issues on the 4S after upgrading to iOS 6, and no change in (good) battery life.  If could be something else, an app or background process that is less efficient with iOS 6?  Could be anything.

  • Dynamically loaded .swf missing it's mark

    I have had a website that has been up and successfully running for about a year now. Admittedly, it's a little buggy here and there, however - I have not had too many issues with it to date.
    Recently, however, I updated the main / root .swf slightly - just changed some copy, and added a slide or two throughout. When visiting the site, this main .swf dynamically loads any content .swfs required - the html, and these .swfs were not touched.
    Upon uploading the new main .swf only - everything works fun, until it loads one of the content .swfs - this always loads in the top left of the browser, rather than the center top of the browser.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this - it just seems odd as I touched no code at all.
    Thanks in advance!

    Nope - the main .fla / .swf is in the correct position. The html calls it to be top / centered.
    When "that" file dynamically loads an additional .swf - they are all going up and left - off center from the site entirely. Seems odd, I've checked the placement as3 - everything seems to be in order. Any ideas? Could this just be a small bug somewhere changing something enough to do this?

  • Can't target main stage from dynamically loaded swf...

    A part of the Flash app. I'm working on right now does the following -
    Main stage loads an external swf using the following function:
    function loadAsset(evt:String):void{
    var assetName:String = evt;
    if (assetName != null){
      var assetLdr:Loader = new Loader(); 
      var assetURL:String = assetName; 
      var assetURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(assetURL); 
      assetLdr.load(assetURLReq); 
      assetLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.INIT , loaded) 
      assetLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, displayAssetLoaderProgress);  
      function loaded(event:Event):void { 
       var targetLoader:Loader = Loader(event.target.loader); 
       assetWindow.addChild(targetLoader);
    The externally loaded swf loads another external swf into itself using the following function:
    function loadQuiz(evt:String):void{   
    var quizName:String = evt;
    if (quizName != null){
      var quizLdr:Loader = new Loader();
      var quizURL:String = quizName;
      var quizURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(quizURL);
      quizLdr.load(quizURLReq);
      quizLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.INIT , loaded)       
      quizLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, displayQuizLoaderProgress); 
      function loaded(event:Event):void {
       var targetLoader:Loader = Loader(event.target.loader);
       quizWindow.assetLoader.addChild(targetLoader);     
    Everything loads fine, but from the quizWindow.assetLoader.addChild(targetLoader) level, I want to send a message/fill in a dynamic text box on the Main Stage. I have been "parenting" my brains out and I'm not sure how to communicate with that level.
    can anyone show me the proper path or method based off the above, or have a suggestion?
    Cheers,

    Andrei1,
    Thanks again for your help. I was finally able to get the solution you posted below to work for me.
    Much appreciation,
    ~Chipleh
    "In your loaded movie write:
    function traceMyself(e:MouseEvent):void{
         dispatchEvent(new Event("I_WANT_TEXT"));
    function writeText(text:String):void {
         xmlFileName1.text = text;
    In the top movie that loads external swfs something like that:
    loadedSwf.addEventListener("I_WANT_TEXT", onTextRequest, true);
    function onTextRequest(e:Event):void {
         Object(e.target).writeText(tQuizXmlFile1.theQuizXmlFile.text);
    This way these two entities are independent and, most importantly, don't care who is the parent or grandparent."

  • Dynamically loaded swf to communicate with MovieClip on the stage

    I have a heck of time here with an issue. I have an xml document that when a certain button on the stage is clicked it loads it's corresponding external swf into an empty movieclip on the stage. This empty movie clip is a holder for all external swfs.
    So what I'm trying to do is when an external swf is loaded that has buttons on it, I need those buttons to communicate with the main timeline and remove a mc that is on the Stage. I need the currently loaded swf(s) to be able to do this. So whatever the currently loaded external swf is that's loaded, I need it to talk to the main timeline. (I have quite a few external swfs that need to do this) So I imagine I need to somehow target the currently loaded external swf to get it to talk to the main timeline.
    The code below in summary doesn't work but it doesn't give errors either. I don't pretend to know what I'm doing and I haven't been successful in searching for a solution to this particular issue. If someone could give me guidance or direct me to a solution. I'd so much appreciate it.
    // main timeline object
    var index:Object=this;
    function loadComplete (e:Event) {
            TweenMax.to(index.mcholder,1, {alpha: .5});
    // add the current module to the mcholder movieclip by using addChild
            index.mcholder.addChild(e.currentTarget.content);
           (e.currentTarget.content as MovieClip).addEventListener("eventTriggered", startListener);
    function startListener(e:Event):void {
    var ext_swf:MovieClip;
    ext_swf = e.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
    trace("external swf");
    ext_swf.button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, talktomainswf);
    function talktomainswf():void {
    TweenMax.to(index.mc_thatsonthestage, 1, {x:1000});
    // now we have the first load we set firstLoad to false
            index.firstLoad = false;
        function loadError (e:Event) {
            trace("error");

    You can use the event dispatcher to communicate between external swfs and a main timeline,
    like so:
    //in an external swf
    //Once loaded
    function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void
         //dispatch an event in the form of a string
         dispatchEvent(new Event("Talk to Main Timeline")); 
    //On the Main timeline
    //listen for "Talk to Main Timeline"
    stage.addEventListener("Talk to Main Timeline", listenForCallsFromExternalFiles, true);
    //if the event is heard, do this:
    function listenForCallsFromExternalFiles(e:Event):void
         trace("I heard ya, now do stuff...");
    That's the basic idea anyways, I use it all the time.
    hope that helps,

  • My playlist has disappeared, all the music is there and i can listen to it but i cannot see the playlist contents list anymore. Any help on how to fix this?

    My playlist on My iPad 2 has blacked out, the music is all there and i can listen to it but i have no playlist breakdown of songs and i can only go back and forward with the arrows to listen to music. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • Active content removed? SWF published

    Hi
    When I put my flash movie online I am getting a message at
    the top which reads 'Active content removed' - can anyone tell me
    how to get round this? I assume it is the organisation I work for
    -browser security settings...but what script would enable me to
    avert this?
    Many thanks
    Jude

    Recent versions of Internet Explorer don't need the Active
    Content fix,
    so it has been replaced by a different script that validates
    and works
    cross-browser.

  • I have done a complete reset back to factory level and it still won't up load. Any help?

    Galaxy S4. I have done a complete reset back to factory level and it still won't up load auto back up. Auto backup starts and stops in about one minute. Tried both wi-fi and mobile data and tried difference t wi-fi locations.. Any help?

         Help is my middle name George9999. Let's get this taken care of for you once and for all. May I ask what backup service are you using? The most popular two are Backup Assistant, our service, and the one that's integrated with your Gmail account. If you are using a 3rd party service then please advise of the app/service. Also, can I assume that you are able to access the internet without any issues on the device? As you share the details then we can customize a solution for you. I'm looking forward to your reply.
    Thank you…

  • How to name a dynamically loaded swf

    heres my prblem i have a set of button buried inside a mc
    when they are clicked i need them to call upon a external mc. ive
    tried some different code but nothing works.
    _level0.contholder_mc.contractor_mc.gotoAndPlay() works but
    only one time. if i click on another button and then go back to the
    external mc i gives it another instance name. how do i stop it from
    giving dynamic instances names.
    thanks for the help

    General Flash procedure is to always code you movies separate
    from one another. If the movie is external, all its methods,
    actions and symbols should be embedded inside that movie.
    Basically, get the buttons working in the smaller movie first. Once
    they are doing what you want them to there, move over to the main
    movie and test playback from there. Often times, there will be
    minor changes necessary to an object or button to insure proper
    playback in the main movie but they are more manageable if they are
    resident to the loaded clip. So start by getting your buttons
    working within the loaded movie's fla file then move over. That
    should help you tremendously.
