Loader Component Trouble

Hey guys...
I'm back. I am still working on this site, and have worked
through numerous challanges and gotten through, but I have now hit
a roadblock that I cant seem to conquer... Here is the
situation....I have a “main” file.... I am using the
technique of loading external swf’s into a loader component
on the main file. So each individual page is a different swf file.
I have the navigation set up in a seperate swf file as well, and
have the nav bar loading into another instance of the loader in the
“main” file. The navigation has its own action
scripting that animates it, and I have written action script so
that when you click the buttons (I have attached the code that I
wrote for the buttons), the other loader on the main page should
load the corresponding swf... (still with me?) well I preview the
“main” page and it runs great and the home.swf
automatically loads and the nav loads (and animates), but when you
click the buttons nothing happens... I hope someone can help me
through this problem.... Thanks so much in advance....

.......Doesnt anyone know how to help me with this issue?
Best,
Ken

  • AS 2.0 Loader component question

    I have a site that has a gallery with 40 images, takes a long
    time to load so I need to find the best way to correct. The files
    that load manually now are movieclips that play in 10 second frames
    in their own timeline with an alpha effect on each all the jpgs and
    other files are in the main fla which is huge because of this. I
    was going to use the loader component but I see you can only use
    for .jpgs and I can't put the effect on jpgs, other obvious way is
    using loadMovie but then I have to convert all mc's to separate
    swfs. Before I go that route is there another way to do this?

  • Making a Jpeg gallery with the Loader component...

    I'm trying to make a gallery using many loader component
    thumbnail photos that present their larger image in a different
    (loader component) box when rolling over with my cursor...Is this
    right? Is there an easier way I can do this?
    If I can do it this way easily, I'd like to. PLEASE, if
    anybody has the answer let me know, thank you.

    This sounds right. The nice thing is that you can replicate
    the loader component and give it various instance names and just
    point each one to its photo in your ActionScript.
    I did something similar here:

  • ContentPath not working in a loop for a Loader component

    i'm trying to load pics into a loader in my movieclip, i'm
    looping through about 20 items, to be placed in a movieclips
    dynamically attached...
    this does not work...
    mcContainer['node'+nCount].pic.contentPath=myimagepath;
    this does work...
    mcContainer['node'+nCount].pic.loadMovie(myimagepath);
    but it does not come in scaled / sized like I want...
    any reason why the images do not appear in the loader
    component in the movieclip? it's like the screen is not being
    refreshed or the loader never finishes, when I trace the
    contentPath after the fact it says the right path, but no image is
    there.

    contentPah is used to specify linkageID's only, and will not
    work for a URL. you correctly used the load method to get the
    picture in there, now you just have to scale it. if you set the
    loader's scaleContent to true, your image will scale to the
    loader's size, and vice versa if you set the property to false. if
    you need to do some custom scaling based on the size of the image,
    you can grab those properties like so:
    myLoader.content._width
    not that the above property, and any scaling commands, will
    only work after the loader finishes loading, so you'll need to put
    that stuff in an event handler for the loader.complete event...
    hope that helps

  • White box under Loader Component

    I am using the Loader Component to load my images as they are
    viewed in my file.
    Most of my images are ok, but some have a white box
    underneath of them.
    I'll have an image that is like 300 pixels wide and 100 tall,
    but it looks like a 100 wide by 200 tall white box is behind the
    image. It does this with random images using the Loader COmponent.
    any ideas what is up or how to fix it?

    weird solution. i copied all of my keyframes into a new
    document and when testing the movie the box problem does not
    appear.
    is flash got bugs?

  • Loader Component in screens/app piece

    I have an e-learning shell set up using the apps template. I
    have several screens that have external swfs loading into the
    loader component. With the auto load on the component the swfs all
    automatically play upon load of the the app. If set to ffalse no
    load upon the app loading. I do not want them to load when the app
    loads only when you would move to the particular screen they are
    on. I can put a play and stop button in the external swf but I
    would rather that they play automatically when the user navigates
    to the screen they are sitting on. Any ideas on actionscript to
    control this?
    Thanks!

    I don't understand your explanation.
    Is the SWFLoader loading a full SWF or an embedded symbol?  What is an invisible mode and how do you know it is in that mode?

  • Loader component problem

    This should be a simple problem. I want to use the flash
    loader component to load pictures. I drag the loader onto the
    stage. Type the pic name in the parameters and save them in the
    same folder but nothing comes up? I'm using flash 8. Do I have
    setting wrong or something?I have a video tutorial on how to do
    this and I follow it eactly but it doesn't work.

    Just a quick checklist.
    1. is the Loader control set to AutoLoad = true?
    2. are you sure the instance name of your Loader is
    contentLoader?
    3. if you type in the contentPath property in the parameters
    window does it work then?

  • Loader Component Question

    Can I have two loader components in one flash file (my main web page)  I have a main loader for my pages to load into when the corresponding button is clicked.  I need to add a second one for a small .swf file of a interactive calendar.  So I guess I need another loader .  I tried to add another loader to my main flash page and it said something like this component is in use or has same name.  I looked in my library and changed the name of my other loader to myLoader and it is still giving this wierd error.  Is is possible to use the Loader component twice in one flash document?   I also don't have them in the first frame of my document because I have an animation that plays through first.

    I'm only trying to interpret what that message is telling me in this response.  It seems to be indicating that you have some object in the library that you have named "calLoader" and assigned it a linkage ID of Loader (possibly by default) as well as another object in the library named myLoader that has the same linkage ID (possibly by default).
    If these two objects are the same component type, then you only need one of them in the library.  The different naming of them can be managed on the stage.

  • LOADER COMPONENT ISSUE

    I noticed that when using the Loader component in Flash 8 -
    the following issue:
    I have a thumbnail gallery that uses the Loader component to
    view the large image.
    when i view the site in fire fox it works perfectly (scaling
    the content and centering it within the loader component shape)
    but when i view it in IE - no scaling or centering occurs!!??
    any idea why this is happening and how i can rectify
    it?

    Hey why don't you try adjusting the permissions and hot
    linking protection on your servers control panel? This might be the
    problem.

  • Loader Component IE7 Scaling Content Issue

    Hello,
    I have an image gallery that is using Loader components to
    pull in the thumbnails and i have the scaling set to true, but in
    IE7 it is very inconsistent in scaling... IE6 and Mozilla work
    great, but IE7 is inconsistent... click on the top left to view
    image galleries, then select Family or Weddings and you can see
    what i mean..

    thanks in advance!

    Yes, because of the size of the stage being larger than that
    of the Loader and loaded SWF, you will see it rendered 'outside'
    the Loader component.
    Simply mask the area of the Loader Component, in the loading
    SWF.

  • Loader component not scaling content

    I am using a loader component to load an external swf into
    main movie. As swf plays, content that should be off stage is
    showing outside the box of the loader. Scale content is set to true
    and swf is sized down, but will not stay within loader.

  • Loader component loading swf bigger as it is?

    Im loading second.swf in main swf using a loader component,
    second swf is has a stage size of 800*85, i load it in a
    component with the same size, and scaleContent = true
    This goes wrong, after investigating second.swf it actualy
    has a stage size but some components on the size like a textfield
    goes beyond the stage (which is necesarry to be able to load enough
    text in it (it starts scrolling then to be visible on stage), when
    i test second.swf, i get a 800*85 swf.
    But when i include it in an other swf and autoscale it, it
    seems like flas includes the objects outside the stage from
    second.swf to do the scaling.
    Ideas to avoid this fenomenon ?

    the loaded swf will include objects that are off-stage. it
    wouldn't be satisfactory if those objects were "omitted".
    if you want second.swf to appear the same in main.swf,
    main.swf will need to have the same stage size as second.swf or
    you'll need to mask second.swf's target to make it appear the
    same.
