Loading External SWF using Absolute Path

Hi,
I am having trouble loading an external swf on a server using the absolute path. This external swf uses webcam streams and is loaded in the original swf file using the URL request code. I can load other swfs but just not that one. I have set the permission of the external swf to allow write/read/execute. Any help is apprieciated.
P.S. I have also tried changing the location and name but still doesn't help.
//Loads the augmented SWF into the main timeline.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.reminisce.me/files/jz_AR.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request);
arHolder.addChild(loader);
arHolder.x=300;
arHolder.y=125;
Thank you for your help in advance.
-John

I can´t get the linked swf to run in any browser, are you sure that it compiled right?

How to load external SWF used sharing library.

Hi~~~
Before ask the question, plz understand my bad English..
Recently I try to load the Swf file that is maded by Flash CS 6.0.
Especially it used shared library..
When I try to load this SWF, I used FileStream instead URLRequest.
This is because the target SWF File located same device with the Swf Application.. So when I use the URLRequest
it give me the warning - Sandbox security violation.
But by using FileStream, the warning did not occur.
This is the sample code below..
var myFile = new File(path);
var myStream = new FileStream();
myStream.open(myFile, FileMode.READ;
var myBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
myStream.readBytes( myBytes );
mSwfLoader.loadBytes( fileStream, context );
mSwfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadedComplete);
As you can see, I made a event listener to get the content of the Loader, after receving Complete Event(I guess.. after decording?).
But I can't receive any event call, so I removed symbol used sharing library in the SWF.
And this gave me the result as I respected... So I guess the problem caused by using sharing Library..!
(In parenthease, I can see the valid result in running debug time on the Flash CS6..)
What should I do? I respect that using sharing libary give saving memory. So I want to using it as possible.
Thanks for your reading...!

Here is one way:

HTH,

Loading external swf using Loader.load() method is delayed with flash player 10.1 and next versions.

I am trying to load an external swf file of size 300 kb using Loader.load() method and trying to access some objects in it and i am getting some delay in loading the external file with flash players 10.1 and next versions.
The action script code used to load:
var strUrl:String="toLoad.swf";
var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest(strUrl);
var ldrLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var ldrLoaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
ldrLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, externakSwfLoaded);
ldrLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorInLoadingSwf);
ldrLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, errorInLoadingSwf);
ldrLoaderContext.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
ldrLoader.load(urlReq, ldrLoaderContext);
addChild(ldrLoader);
System specifications:
O.S. Windows XP sp2 (32 bit)
Browser IE 6.0 (128 bit)
Flash Player version WIN 10,2,152,32

I think you are lost. This forum is for ROME. It sounds like you want one of the Flash or Flex forums...
Good luck!

Loading external swf files in a swf - Error#1009

I have been having trouble using a swf file within a swf file. The external swf files all work as expected. However when used within another swf file I get the standard TypeError #1009 for some of my swfs. The external swf files are mainly actionscript 3 files. A typical swf file will have an object (or objects) in the library which has an export for ActionScipt property enabled and an addEventListener(Event.ENTERFRAME, somefunction). About four years ago when I had to do some work with AS2 I seemed to get around a similar issue with the _lockroot method but this is no longer part of AS3. I have searched various forums and note that I am not the only one with this issue but did not find any relevant solutions. If anyone could give me any ideas on how to get around this it would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have added a download to rapidshare and its link is:
Download link: http://rapidshare.com/files/380202712/ExtSwfs.zip
The main file Training01.fla has been set up with links to download several swf's. The links that do not work properly are those labelled : Module6 and Module 8. The first Module 6 connects to a function that is a variation of how I was trying to load external swfs using Application Domain, while Module 8 is a link to a swf that uses and external class. Module 8 is supposed to load with rotating stars, while Module 6 loads the same file as the link called Module 1. As soon as I use the two links Module 6 or Module 8 the whole lot ceases to work properly. I did also follow through the examples on the Adobe site. The examples for Module 6 and Module 8 are tutorials I have used from the Internet as part of my training from the site FlashMyMind.com but they replicate the type of work we have been doing with respect to using ActionScript3.
Re my background, at this stage I am self-taught using tutorials on the web and whatever books I can lay my hands on here. There is no structured training available where I live as there is insufficient demand and no books available on Flash or ActionScript at the local book stores or libraries so the books are ones I have ordered via the Internet. The one I am currently using apart from Adobe Classroom in a Book Flash CS4 is O'Reilly's Learning ActionScript 3.0 a Beginners Guide.
The other problem I have been trying to solve and still researching is why one loses sound in the flash player when playing flv files, if the user has selected or restarted a video (or videos) many times eg 25 to 30 times as we create video training files and serve them to the user within the flash environment using Flash Player 9 and IE6.

Subject: How to Load an external swf using loadmovie in AS3
In AS3 you use the Loader class to load external swf's and image files. You
should be able to find examples both in the Flash help files and these forums
if you search. If you aren't aware of how to code buttons in AS3, that can be
found as well. In AS3, just about any kind of interction involves the use of
event listeners in combination event handler functions... in the case of a
button rollover an example would be...
btnName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {

Loading external swfs and controlling their actionscript

I'm in need of some tutorials/examples for loading external
swfs placed in empty movie clips using loadmovie into the main
movie.
I have actionscript and alot of interactive features within
these loaded swf files and I'm having a heck of a time figuring out
how to code and path the AS from them to work in the main timeline.
I'm also open to using loadMovieNum and working with levels
if it might be easier, however I'd like to keep this as simple as
possible.
PLEASE ANY HELP!!!????

I am by no means an expert however it is my understanding
that if you have a loaded swf within your main application and you
wish to control features on the main timeline you need to use the
_root function.
Without knowing exactly what type of controlling you need
it's hard to explain in great detail.

Unable to load external swf which has runtime sharing with another swf.

Hi,
I am getting issues on loading external swf say "importer.swf" file into another swf file say "loader.swf" for second time like
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable testSymbol is not defined. VerifyError: Error #1014: Class testClass could not be found.
at global$init()
In the external swf "importer.swf", i am trying to import the symbol "testSymbol" from another swf file say "exporter.swf", which exports through runtime sharing option for the symbols.
I am having some buttons in loader.swf file and on each button click i am loading different swf files into the loader.swf after unloading the previous one.
I am able to load and unload different swf files but unable to load the importer.swf file which is sharing symbols from external swf and that too for the second time i.e., when i click the button twice.
When trying to debug with flash debugger, all the other swf files are being unloaded before loading of another swf but the swf which is sharing symbols/classes with another swf is not getting unloaded.
Output when i am trying to load two files example and importer files into loader.swf file on two different button clicks. On first button click example.swf is loaded. On second button click , example.swf is unloaded and importer.swf is loaded which is successful. On first button click again importer.swf is unloaded and example.swf is loaded. On second button click again, example.swf is unloaded and importer.swf is loaded, here i am getting issues shown above.

If i try to open the swf using IE, i am not getting any issues at all. But i need to open this loader.swf in a air application. Also when i use loaderContext for the loader instance i am able to get rid of this issue but i cant use it in my application.
So, please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks

Loading external swf not complete

Hi, I'm trying to load external swf (with more than one frame and actionscript 3 on every frame - I used there "timeline" coding) from my main swf.
code for loading external swf into main swf:
var loader01:Loader;
function openGame1(evt:Event):void
loader01 = new Loader();
var requestSWF01:URLRequest = new URLRequest("game01.swf");
loader01.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, processHandler);
loader01.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);
loader01.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
loader01.load(requestSWF01);
addChild(loader01);
function processHandler(evt:ProgressEvent):void
var loaded:Number=evt.target.bytesLoaded;
var total:Number=evt.target.bytesTotal;
var stav:Number=loaded/total;
loaded_txt.text=(Math.round(stav*100))+" %";
function initHandler(evt:Event):void{
loaded_txt.text="";
function errorHandler(evt:IOErrorEvent):void
trace ("Error: " + evt.text);
I found out that this works only for loading swf, which has only one frame (and all actionscript on that frame)... It seems that if there are more frames, than it will not load complete swf (hmm maybe it is caused, because not all objects on frames are export in first frame). Preloading starts but after for example 20 % the event.INIT is fired and the external swf starts to play (and crashes..).
You can see this here http://bvyborcik.xf.cz/ If you click on the blue building on the left with blinking text "Start hry" you will see what happens - preloading is not completed and after clicking on first floor btn, the swf crashes...
Please is there a solution for this kind of problem? Any help or pointing is welcome.
regards Boris

just curious, is the file you want to load the swf into set up exactly the same way with the same stage size, fps, and layers?

Bring loaded external swf to the front

Hi,
I am now implementing to create a website using side scrolling platform game approach. Since the player/actor (character that moves according to keyborad events) should always be at the top layer, I am having difficulties to get my loaded swf on top of the player. I am currently using Flash cs6 (as3).
Basically, in my main stage, there are 3 layers. 1 for actionscript, the scond one for player and lastly for background.
Layer player contains player mc and background mc.
Background mc contains visual and collisions layers.
Anything that got to do with visual, i have to put it in visual layer.
In visual layer i have backgroundcontainer mc
So, as i put the button in the backgroundcontainer mc to call the external swf, the loaded external swf appears in the container.
(I am using load/unload snippet code to call the external swf)
I want the external swf to appear on top of the player.
for (var fl_ChildIndex_2:int = 0;
        fl_ChildIndex_2 < this.numChildren;
        fl_ChildIndex_2++)
    this.getChildAt(fl_ChildIndex_2).addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToBringToFront_2);
function fl_ClickToBringToFront_2(event:MouseEvent):void
    this.addChild(event.currentTarget as DisplayObject);
Any help would greatly appreciated

If you want an object to move atop all others you can just use addChild(thatobject), where thatobject is the item you want to move atop anything else. I don't know what object(s) your loop is attempting to act on, but it appears to be trying to change the index of all child objects rather than just one.

        removeEventListener("removeMe", removeSWF);
The loaded swf has a stop() an intro animation and on the last frame have.
dispatchEvent(new Event("removeMe", true));

your isse begins here ..
loadSection()
you use the same loader to not only load files but you are tyring to use it to target the movieClip you also want to play.
The issue is loader. The loader can only reference one load at a time.. otherwise you screw up your listeners and the ability to unload files properly.
You should load all files in Your current system as its own variable so that while one loads you can still control a movie.
So what type of end transitions do your files have?
What exactly with this seems like youre getting an issue.. looking at it looks alright aside from the fact that some methods are not used at all by your class

Loading external SWF with masked content - get size of masked area

I am loading an external swf using the SWFLoader component. The swf that is being loaded is masked so that only a portion is being shown. However, when it's loaded the actual size of the swf (loader.content.width && loader.content.height) is the complete swf including the masked area. Therefore, the loaded swf does not display properly in the itemrenderer Is there a way to to grab the size of the just the masked area as opposed to getting the size of the entire swf's contents (area not masked)?
One item to note that is complicating the issue, is that these are swf files that have already been created and there are many of them. In some instances, the size of the stage matches up with the size of the masked area. In other instances, the stage is larger (or possibly smaller) than the masked area movieclip as well as possibly the actual size of the movieclip (w/o the mask).
I am currently loading the external swf in using a Loader. Once loaded, I make a copy (screen shot) of the swf by creating a bmp of the loader.content.This is done as I don't want to have any animations being shown on screen at this moment. I am setting the size of the bmp using using loader.content.width & loader.content.height. I then set the SWFLoader.source to the bitmap.

Here's the code I am using to load the swf:
     <fx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
        protected function application1_applicationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void {
             loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSWFLoaded);
             loader.load(new URLRequest("c:\\Flex Testing\\FA warns Mr. Jones.swf"), context);
        private function onSWFLoaded(event:Event):void {
            bmData=new BitmapData(loader.content.width, loader.content.height, true, 0x990000);
             bmData.draw(loader.content, new Matrix());
            bmp=new Bitmap(bmData);
            swfLoader.source=bmp;

HELP PLEASE - loading external swf scale problem

I have a Flex 3 Actionscript Project. Basically all it does it take some flash vars, set the sound volume, and load an external swf using a loader and add the loader as a child. The problem is I want the loaded external swf to be scaled to fill the entire stage, even if it distorts it, and that doesn't seem to be happening.
I really need to resolve this. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.

Thanks for the reply!
Here's basically what my code looks like (note: I cut some stuff out that wasn't relevant for the sake of clarity).
private var swfLoader:Loader = null;
public function MySwfContainer()
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfUrl);
    swfLoader = new Loader();
    swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,SWFLoader_Complete);
    swfLoader.load(request);
private function SWFLoader_Complete(event:Event):void
    addChild(swfLoader);
What I am observing is that if a swf larger than the stage area is loaded it clips it rather than scale it down and make it fit.

Load external SWF's help

I am using this thumbnail gallery attached but instead of loading images through the xml I want to load external SWF'S. I also want to be able to control each SWF loaded in individually apparently in order to do that I need to give the container different instance names..however I don't know how to extend the code inorder to achieve this..can anyone help?

Hello Kglad,
Thank you for the swift reply, I don't know how to apply this to my code. At the moment it loads in images but it will load in external SWF's I pressume this is the section of code relevant;
function thumbnailer(k){
total_thumbs = _global.total;
var container = thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("th"+k,thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
container._visible=false;
container._alpha=0;
var image = container.createEmptyMovieClip("img", container.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
target_mc.pictureValue = k;
target_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 50;
target_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
image_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(tlistener);
image_mcl.loadClip(thumbnails[k], "thumbnail_mc.th"+k+".img");

Loading external .swf files issue...

Hi,
I'm working on a simple example of loading external swf files with some ActionScript.
I've placed an instance of List Component and gave it an instance name of loadList. Using Component Inspector, I assigned data for 4 external files as below:
Next, I've added a UILoader component (instance name - loadWindow). The code that is supposed to load the content into UILoader is this:
loadList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, selectItem);
function selectItem(e:Event):void
loadWindow.source = e.target.selectedItem.data;
When I run it in a FlashPlayer, it only loads the first 2 swf files.... (I checked the files and all files are fine).
I hope to get some light on the issue so any help will be appreciated.

Try tracing e.target.selectedItem.data to make sure it's what you expect.
Also, have you tried using the load() method instead of the source property?

Dynamic plug-ins: How to dispatch MediaFactoryEvent.PLUGIN_LOAD after loading external swf

Hi,
I'm creating a dynamic OSMF plugin. That plugin needs to load external SWF file before sending the PLUGIN_LOAD event to the player.
How can I override the dispatch of the PLUGIN_LOAD event on my MyCustomPluginPluginInfo custom class ?
If it's not possible, the solution is to create a new MediaElement within my MyCustomPluginPluginInfo:
var mediaElement:MediaElement = mediaFactory.createMediaElement( new URLResource(null) ); //the resource is null at this point
On the player side I add that line when the plugin is loaded successfully:
//Add listener on Media Element creation
mediaFactory.addEventListener(MediaFactoryEvent.MEDIA_ELEMENT_CREATE, onMediaElementCreate);
Is it a god solution or not ?
Is there another way to do that ?
Thanks !

Hello!
I'm not sure you can do it through loadPlugin stage due to an swf loader is used in factory on that moment.
As for loading an extra swf "per instance" way I'd rather do it using an element LoadTrait than try to bypass the standard factory way.
Regards!
