How to load an AS3 swf file into a AS2 swf file?

Hi,
i am trying to display a swf file using AS3 in a flash site which uses AS2. I know that loading the swf file in the normal way, into a dummy movieclip (loadMovie) or into a new level (loadMovieNum), doesn't work. The AS2 based flash site doesn't understand the new file. Is there another way to get around this problem?
Many thanks

Can I combine two methods of code to load various SWF files into the same location

I presently have a set up where a large SWF file brought on the stage by clicking small icons from the scrollable thumbnail menu on the bottom of the stage. All of it happens at the same frame with .xml loading file.
Here is the code for constructing the ImageLoader(for thumbnails) and SWFLoader for (bigger SWF files)
[CODE]
   function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   _slides = [];
   var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.
   var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have <image /> nodes with all the info we need.
   //loop through each <image /> node and create a Slide object for each.
   for each (var image:XML in imageList) {
    _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,
          image.@description,
          new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",
               name:image.@name + "Thumb",
               width:_THUMB_WIDTH,
               height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,
               //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates
               //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69
               scaleMode:"proportionalInside",
               bgColor:0x000000,
               estimatedBytes:13000,
               onFail:_imageFailHandler}),
          new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
                name:image.@name + "Image",
                width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,
                height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,
                //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates
                x:0, y:144,
                scaleMode:"proportionalInside",
                bgColor:0x000000,
                estimatedBytes:820000,
                onFail:_imageFailHandler})
[/CODE]
Here is what I would like to resolve. I have another section on the site with an image collage. Every image is a button. I want to script this each image on click to go to the label with ImageLoader and SWFLoader AND TO OPEN A UNIQUE SWF (ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMAGE CLICKED) ON THAT PAGE
Previously this is what I did to achieve it. I would specify a String:
[CODE]
var sourceVar_ProductsPopUps:String;
[/CODE]
and then all my buttons will have their unique SWF assigned for them which opens at another labeled section ("prdctsPopUps" in this example):
[CODE]
function onClickSumix1PopUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
sourceVar_ProductsPopUps="prdcts_popups/sumix1-popup_tl.swf";
gotoAndPlay("prdctsPopUps");
[/CODE]
Then in the "prdctsPopUps" section I would specify that var string to bring up SWF files. The value of sourceVar_ProductsPopUps allows to load mulitple SWFs from the previous page.
[CODE]
loaderProductPopUps = new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
[/CODE]
But I need both of them to be working at the same time. First there is a sectionA from where a user can navigate to specifically targeted SWF to section B's SWFLoader. Then in the section B a user has an option to bring up other SWF files into SWFLoader from the scrollable thumbs menu. Is there a way to combine these two lines into one:
[CODE]
          new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
[/CODE]
and
[CODE]
new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
[/CODE]

Thanks for looking into my issue.
Unfortunatelly I am not so advanced in AS and do not complitely understand the logic of the problem. I will try to decribe my set up more precise.
So, my main flash file is broken into labeled sections on the main time line.
One of the sections is "Applications" It has an animated collage of images. Each image acts as a button and once clicked brings a user to a section called "ApplicationsPopUps".
"ApplicationsPopUps" section has small image thumbnails scroll menu at the bottom of the screen and a large SWFLoader in the middle of the screen. User can click on an image in the thumbnails scroll menu and a corresponding SWF file will load in the middle of the screen in SWFLoader. User can click on left/right navigation buttons and preceeding/following SWF file will load in SWFLoader.
Everything works fine (with your previous help)
Here is the working code for the ImageLoader and SWFLoader (please let me know if you need additional code on the page):
function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {        _slides = [];       var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.        var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have nodes with all the info we need.        //loop through each node and create a Slide object for each.       for each (var image:XML in imageList) {         _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,               image.@description,               new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",               {                    name:image.@name + "Thumb",                    width:_THUMB_WIDTH,                    height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,                    //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                    //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69                   scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                    bgColor:0x000000,                    estimatedBytes:13000,                    onFail:_imageFailHandler}),                 new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",                   {                     name:image.@name + "Image",                     width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,                     height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,                     //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                   x:0, y:144,                     scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                     bgColor:0x000000,                     estimatedBytes:820000,                     onFail:_imageFailHandler})
Thumbnails in the section "ApplicationsPopUps" and images in the image collage in the section "Applications" represent the same photographs. So when a user clicks on one of the images in "Applications" section it would be natural that that image will load in the "ApplicationsPopUps" section. However "ApplicationsPopUps" section presently has a working code (as sampled above) It looks too complex for me and I do not know hot to implement this feature. I do want to keep the functionality of the thumbs image scroller in section "ApplicationsPopUps" as it is now. But I want to add that when a user click on an image from section"Applications" then that particular SWF file will load in SWFLoader in section "ApplicationsPopUps" and then the present functionality can as well be exectuted. Presently it just opens on a first image in xml order.
P.S. I see that you had a download link in your answer. How did you do it? I could also upload a small sample file with my problem. This way you could see all the set up right away.

Is it possible to Load External SWF files into Flex Mobile projects?

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to load an external asset in this cse (a SWF file) into my flex project (Apple IOS IPAD), don't get any luck. Can any one suggest a solution ?

In Apple's words, "No interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple's Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s)".
Hence external swfs cannot be loaded in iOS.

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

Problem when load more swf files work with xml files into my movie

hi ;
I have one flash file & more of swf files which work with xml files .
when I load one swf file into my flash file and remove it and load anther one on the same movieclip in my flash file it load the old swf file.
when i load one on movieclip and remove it and load anther swf on anther movieclip the file doesn`t work and stoped.
when test my flash file to load and remove swf files without xml file it work fine but when repleaced the swf files with other work with xml files the problem hapend.
thanks;

YOu should trace the names of the files that are being targeted for loading to see if they agree with what you expect. If you want help with the coding you will need to show the code that is relevant to your problem (not all of it)

Dynamic swf file into dreamweaver cs4

Good evening to all,
Can a basic slide show created in Flash cs4 using as2 to load the images dynamically be inserted into a Dreamweaver cs4 page ?
The swf file shows up but I can't figure out where to put the linking images so the 2 basic "next" and "previous" buttons work ?
Thank as always,
Fred...

When you load the swf file into the html page, that becomes the swf's reference for loading files. So if your structure has a folder containing the html file and another folder for the flash file and another folder for the images, as in...
main_folder...
     - html file
     - flash folder
          - - flash file
     - images folder
          - - image files
then you need to change where the swf file is looking for the images because when it is in the html page, that is essentially the folder it is trying to get the images to load thru.
For instance, if you originally tested using Flash with the swf file targeting the images using...
"../images/imagefile.jpg"
(or something like that... those dots confuse me at times)
and the structure is as I described, then when testing in the html file the targeting would need to be changed to...
"images/imagefile.jpg"
Just think of the swf file as living in the html file's folder as far as targeting any files it needs to load, because once it is loaded into that page, it has basically moved to that new location.

Can I load AS3 swf in AS2 file

I have downloaded a xmlphotoalbum (www.xmlphotoalbum.com) which is in AS3 and uses lots of external classes and functions,
I am trying to load it withing a AS2 movie but it's not running and it is not giving me any errors.
how can I make this run?
would you please download the xmlphotoalbum and try it?
I am not using an AS3 file to load the xmlphotoalbum because I don't know how to handel AS3 and load external swf files and play then and then unload them.
I have tried using the get ulr and addchild() fucntions. but since I am not experienced it AS3 it's bit confusing for me and also I dont know how to control the playback of the loaded swf files.
I am doing all this for a CD presentation, not a a web site.

AS2 and AS3 are incompatible. Although you can load AS2 into AS3 - you CANNOT load AS3 swf into AS2.

What is the code to load a .swf file in AS3 on the same layer?

I'm new to AS3 and am trying to figure out the code for loading a .swf file on the same layer of the same page, thereby replacing all of the information. I don't want to put it on layer 2, etc. Another easy thing I can do in AS2 but am struggling with in AS3.
thanks!
Steve

There are no 'layers' in AS3 - there is just the display list. You can use addChildAt to add things at a specific depth - thereby placing it behind or above something, but if you just use addChild it goes on top of whatever is currently there...
Anyway - to answer your question, you can load a .swf with a Loader object like so:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.load(new URLRequest("myFile.swf"));
addChild(l);
You can wait for complete like was shown, but you don't have to. And this will not 'replace' anything - it just loads myFile.swf on top of anything currently being shown. If you want to 'replace' what's there you need to remove it first:
while(numChildren){
removeChildAt(0);

Using a container to load several swf files and play them

I need some help. I want to use several swf files and have them be called upon in a container file and play them in sequence. It's a presentation that needs to play thru but still have the ability to stop, click on items, open a popup and then continue on in the presentation. I am building all the individual "chapters" and their "sub-chapters" as swf files, with the hope that I can load them in order. I am relatively new to AS3. Help?

If you will be loading swf files into a container then you will use the Loader class to accomplish that, so give that a looking over in the help documents and see what you can do. If you have a problem getting it to work, post your code and describe what you have done.

Joining several swf files into one swf file

hello everybody
i've been dealing this issue for too long and decided to ask for help - how can I unite 15 swf files which placed in one folder to a one swf file???
i tried all kindes of merging softwares like "Join (Merge, Combine) Multiple SWF Files Into One Software" and "WinMerge" without success and tried to convert swf to flv (cause i found other merging software for flv files) but again...
I have CS5 so if i'll have to open Flash for this i will, though i'm trying to avoid that and even then i'm gonna need full instructions.
All i need is this simple thing so i'll appreciate very much any help
Thanks & Good Day
Keren

Hi Ned
Again - thank you very much.
I've got the source files and i'm on the run now.. kind of..
I did as you recomצended and used a code from one of the AS3 UILoader tutorials , and it seems to work:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import fl.containers.UILoader;
var myLoad1 = "fastflipPage.swf";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myLoad1);
loader.scaleContent = false;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
loader.load(request);
loader.load(request);
function progressHandler (event:ProgressEvent):void
status_txt.text = "Percentage Loaded" +
Math.round(event.target.percentLoaded);
function completeHandler (event:Event):void
status_txt.text = "Loaded Done";
So... i'm tring to find some answers to my next step : in the code above im loading only one file and i need to load 30 files so they could play one after another. i noticed that i can create many uiloader instances and load several external SWFs in the same scene without writing a script to each one of them... is that right? and if so, how can i do that???
I'm full of hope to figure this task, meantime will look for more answers
Thanks in advance

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.

Embedding SWF file into an Indesign document and later export as PDF

Hi to everybody,
I am searching now since 3 days for good solution of my problem. First I wanna tell you that the problem is not just to convert a swf-file into a pdf. I did this many times with all animations, page flip and stuff.My situation is the following:
I have varios catalogues with more or less 12 pages each in an indesign format. Now I created an animated scroll down menu, which appears on an "index-page". On the menu I created buttons. One button for each catalogue. So the idea of the whole thing is to open a document and an index page appears where you have the animated menu and you choose the catalogue you wanna see. Until here it is quite easy. I created a swf file of each catalogue with my animations (as the special page turnover e.g.). So that I just need von Object in with I can load the different swf-files of these catalogues. I already did the process. I linked the buttons to the different swf files and so. So the problem is now when it comes to convert the whole thing into a PDF. Of course I convert it first to swf and then to PDF. After converting it to swf it works 100% fine, but in PDF not, suddenly the swf-files of the catalogues disappear.
So the summary is, that I don't know how to embed swf files into an indesign document, creat buttons and interactions next to swf file, then save it to another swf, and then to a pdf without losing the first swf files within the pdf.
Hope I made my self clear would be too nice if someone could help me or if someone may have a better idea of realizing the whole project.

Jeffrey,
Thank you for the answer. As you have written:
I will also add that the ID's play mode contol [plays once] [repeat play] does not always control the file once in Acrobat.
I presume you mean version of ID older than CS4 or version of Acrobat Reader older than 9.1
It that is the case I will strongly recommend my visitors to upgrade to this version.
I hope that would work.
Thanks again.
Peter
