Loading external AS2 SWF in AS2

I want to load the external SWF file which is in AS2 in to my
SWF file which is also in AS2.. The problem I am facing is I am
able to load external SWF but I am not able to pass the Flash vars
to that SWF.. Here is my Code
var _mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var _listener:Object = new Object();
_listener.onLoadInit = function(_mc:MovieClip)
trace("Done loading...");
_mcl.addListener(_listener);
this._mc1.removeMovieClip(clip_1);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
_mcl.loadClip("
http://www.xyz.com/xyz/xyz.swf?200711900&local=true",
_mc);
So the xyz.swf is not able to read the variable local I am
passing as a flash variable..
So how can I accomplish passing flashvars to this xyz.swf
Thanks

I don't know if you can pass variables this way, but since
you are hard coding them in AS why not pass them directly to _mc
once your .swf has loaded?

  • AIR App, load externally hosted SWF which loads XML

    I am wondering if this is even possible, because I am getting error 2148. 
    I am loading in SWF files that are externally hosted into an AIR app.  Everything works great!
    Is it possible to have one  of these child SWFs load in some type of XML data or access an XML file on the desktop/tmp?
    Or if need be, should I have the AIR app do all the loading (including the other XML) and pass that to the child SWF?
    Thanks in advance!
    In detail:
    AIR app -> Loads SWFs
    SWFS -> Load XML
    SWF -> displays something or does something RAD!!!
    Stuff I have tried:
    Ive added an mms.cfg file in the proper places, as well as, changed my adobe security settings to allow access to a "tmp" folder on desktop. The loaded SWF from an external domain loads fine however it still shows an error 2148 when trying to access an XML file within the "tmp" folder on desktop. The SWF when published is also set to "access local files"

    I was able to find a workaround of the security sandbox using Loader.loadBytes();

  • Loaded external swf vs CPU usage

    Halo.   I use the following code in order to load external "inde_2.swf" into "index.swf":    (for Flash Player 9.0)
    stop();
    var myMovie:Sprite;
    var l:Loader = new Loader();
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop, false, 0, true);
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done, false, 0, true);
    l.load(new URLRequest("index.swf"));
    function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
      var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
      loader.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
    function done(e:Event):void
      removeChildAt(0) // was removeChildAt(0) but it make more sense this way
      loader.percent = null;
      myMovie = Sprite(l.content);
      addChild(myMovie);
      var container:MovieClip = MovieClip(l.content);
       addChild(container);
       container.gotoAndStop(890);
      l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener( ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
      l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
      l = null;
    But unfortunately if "index.swf" is a complex file (with many objects etc.) , the loaded "index_2.swf" will play very slow (high CPU usage).
    Is there any trick to unload "index.swf" so that "index_2" can play properly?

    if index_2.swf is a resource hog, there's nothing you can do in index.swf to fix that.  on the other hand, you should clean up your index.swf code:
    var l:Loader = new Loader();
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop, false, 0, true);
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done, false, 0, true);
    l.load(new URLRequest("index.swf"));
    function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
      var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
      loader.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
    function done(e:Event):void
      removeChildAt(0) // <-not sure this makes sense.  what are you removing?
      loader.percent = null;
      var container:MovieClip = MovieClip(l.content);
       addChild(container);
       container.gotoAndStop(890);
      l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener( ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
      l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
      l = null;

    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.

  • Loading an AS2 Swf into an AS3 project

    I have a need to be able to load legacy AS2 SWF's into a new
    AS3 project. I know that this is not readily possible, because you
    can only communicate between the two via the LocalConnection class.
    So, what I have done is to create an AS2 proxy SWF. This SWF will
    handle the loading of all legacy SWF's and act as a middleman to
    pass the function calls between the pre-compiled SWF and the new
    SWF using the LocalConnection class. The new SWF also needs to be
    able to load AS3 SWF's, though.
    Because of this, I have the need to detect the AS version of
    the loaded SWF. If 1 or 2, then change the source to the
    AS2Proxy.swf, if 3 then simply load it.
    I have written the following code. My problem comes in when
    the init event fires. Regardless of the compiled version of the
    loaded SWF, it always traces 3 as the AS version.

    Alright, I solved this problem, only to come up with many
    more.
    To solve this problem, I needed to point to the loaderInfo
    object of the UILoader's content. So:
    simulation.content.loaderInfo.actionScriptVersion.
    Now the proxy loads correctly, but I start getting errors
    immediately. Let me paste some code to show the next steps:
    First off. I immediately receive a StatusEvent error, though
    the path gets sent into the proxy and loads correctly.
    Next, when the complete event fires in the AS2 SWF - it sends
    a completion back up to let the AS3 SWF know that it finished (and
    any handling that needs to happen at that point.) I receive the
    following error:
    Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095:
    flash.net.LocalConnection was unable to invoke callback loadSwf.
    error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property loadSwf not found on
    com.applied.flash.events.AS2Connect and there is no default
    value.

    You can talk to loaded AVM1 (AS1/2) SWF using LocalConnection. I used Grant Skinner's SWFBridge class in the past and worked very well:

  • Load AS2 swf into AS3 swf problem

    I have a flash with AS3 and inside this swf i load in a AS2 swf.
    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
    thanks for helping me out =)

    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

  • Is loading a as2 swf into my as3 flash site the problem here?

    My question is listed on another board here, but I am too inexperienced to understand how to fix my issue:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5045059#5045059
    I went on flashkit.com and a member there immediately said that it "sounds like the problem is using the AS2 swf loaded into the AS3 swf."
    If it is... this mean I will have to convert everything in the AS2 .swf (including the XML retrieval script) to AS3. I may need some help with that if that is the problem.
    So will AS2 swfs cause XML communication and retrieval issues if loaded with a loader script into an AS3 file?
    Everything works (the buttons are clickable and when you click on a square in the "thumbnails" scroller it displays the correct photo title and captions), except I just cannot see the actual photos in my XML gallery. I am truly clueless as to why this happens and I've searched for days straight and tried many things...
    You'll find all the details of my problem in the above link.
    Thanks!

    Its really not worth the trouble to get as2 working with as3 if your goal is to make an xml driven gallery. There are literally thousands of free examples/tutorials how to achieve that feature with 50+ LOC. Like this one.

  • Loading an AS2 swf into a AS3 project?

    I have an AS2 swf that is merely an image gallery made with a few components. I tried loading this swf into an AS3 project I am working on and it seems to load in and play properly in my AS3 file. I'm not looking to communicate with the AS2 swf with AS3 code, I just want to display it and be able to use the component buttons in the AS2 file that play or stop the images from being played.  I was wondering if using this will cause any potential issues in my AS3 project. It seems to render and work fine on my machine. Thanks

    as2 swfs will play without problem when loaded into an as3 swf.

  • AS2 SWF loaded inside a AS3 SWF

    Hi,
    In a recent project I had to load a FlashPaper2 document
    inside a SWF implemented in AS3. I read a couple of articles about
    Darron
    Shcall's article and
    FlashInterface
    but none of them seemed to be useful in my case.
    I needed to load a FlashPaper SWF inside a AS3 and couldn't
    rely on ExternalInterface since they were not two separate SWF's.
    To be more clear, I was using the Loader class via a Sprite to load
    the FlashPaper SWF.
    Anyways, I created FlashPaperLoader.SWF implemented in AS2
    which was used to load the FlashPaper SWF. This loader was able to
    communicate with the FlashPaper APIs (AS2). As you can guess, the
    AS3 SWF was used to load the FlashPaperLoader.swf.
    What I don't understand is how come the FlashPaperLoader the
    FlashPaper document SWFs can communicate with each other thru AS2
    function calls when they are loaded inside a AS3 SWF, I thought
    that due to VM differences, no communication is possible!
    I hope I was clear, if I was, any guru insight is really
    appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Thanks kglad,
    But you still haven't answered my question. I am not looking
    for solutions, my own solution works. I wanted to understand more
    about the VM's.
    AS3
    var request:URLRequest = new
    URLRequest("./FlashPaperLoader.swf");
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.load(request);
    AS2
    var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    loader.loadClip("./FlashPaperDoc.swf", fpContainer);
    // the loader SWF used IFlashPaper APIs to communicate with
    the FlashPaper SWF.
    Now, the first part (AS3), all that code is interpreted by
    VM2. Once an AS2 SWF is loaded a
    AVM1Movie
    is created and no direct communication between AS3 and AS2 is
    possible. I am curious to know how come the two AS2 SWFs can
    communicate with each other while inside the VM2 space.

  • AS3 load external swf problem, please help...

    Hey guys, I am really in need of an answer here. I would tremendously grateful if someone has the answer. I'll keep it simple and right to the point:
    1. I have created "index.swf" in AS3. Has it's own "MainClass" class.
    2. I created "holder.swf" which is the main landing page. Has 2 buttons, for the viewer to load the site in fullscreen or standard.
    3. In the timeline of "holder.swf" I have created 2 frames, 1st frame containing the buttons, second frame containing the AS3 external swf loader script.
    It does not seem to want to load my "index.swf".
    I have tested a million different ways, it load other swf's just fine, AS2 and AS3, but for some strange reason it just will NOT load "index.swf".
    This is driving me crazy, I have a feeling it has something to do with a class conflict. I have tried (import MainClass;) in the first frame of "holder.swf" and no luck.
    PLEASE GUYS, LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER!
    THANK YOU SO MUCHO.
    Michael

    Hey kglad,
    Thanks for the quick reply!
    Well here is the problem... With the exception of a few things I need to update, as well as implementing some better preloaders etc... the site is running alright...
    About a week ago I decided that I wanted to site to start with the above landing page. A simple "holder.swf" which would give the viewer something to look at before entering the site... (ideally I want to find a script that will begin loading "index.swf" while the viewer is still on "holder.swf", but I'll figure that out later).
    Anyhow, I created "holder.swf" as I have many times before, and for some reason it does not seem to want to load "index.swf" into the second frame when instructed to do so... does that make sense?
    So... ideally I would like the site to start on the above graphic, then once the button is clicked, "index.swf" opens up...
    It's driving me crazy, because my code works on other swf's I've tested it with, just not with index.swf, which leads me to believe there is something in the MainClass.as file which is causing it not to load...
    What are your thoughts?
    Oh, and many thanks again!!!
