MovieClipLoader error

I looked up MovieClipLoader tutorials and finally came up with the code:
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(loadListener);
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void
    var perc:Number = (bytesLoaded / bytesTotal) * 100;
    prcnt.text = perc + " %";
loadListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
    trace( target_mc + " finished loading so display on screen now. " );
    prcnt.text = "init";
loadListener.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip, errorCode:String, httpStatus:Number)
    trace( "error loading image : errorCode : " + errorCode );
loadListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
    trace( target_mc + " start loading. maybe you want to do something here? " );
    prcnt.text = "onstart";
myMCL.loadClip("filename.swf", mcholder); //mcholder is the movie clip holder placed on stage manually
The problem here is that the file does not move beyond printing this:
_level0.mcholder start loading. maybe you want to do something here?
_level0.mcholder start loading. maybe you want to do something here?
_level0.mcholder start loading. maybe you want to do something here?
_level0.mcholder start loading. maybe you want to do something here?
_level0.mcholder start loading. maybe you want to do something here?
_level0.mcholder start loading. maybe you want to do something here?
_level0.mcholder start loading. maybe you want to do something here?
Why is this happening? The code is directly from the tutorial. I have included all event functions, in case they are something like abstract functions, I don't know if this is required or not. I know I must be being a pain, but no one seems to be answering my question. I can't figure out what is wrong with the code, seems simple enough to me. I am sure I am missing some basic point. Any help will be greatly appreciated...

it could be that the code in that frame is repeatedly executing. ie, that frame is part of a frame loop.
to remedy, add a stop() to your code.

Error opening URL Error on a Mac

So is this happening to anyone else?
I do a test movie from my Mac and when the movie I’m
testing needs to load an external file I get the following error
message:
Error opening URL
"ETC:Users:michael:Current:cvs:Gigapets:launch:banner_main.swf/xml/home.xml"
This happens on my Mac alone mind you, everyone else's in the
office works fine.
It doesn’t matter if I am loading an xml file through
the XML object, or a swf or jpg file through the loadMovie
functions, it always gives me this error when I load files with a
relative path on my local machine.
I am running Flash 8 on OS 10.3.9

In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal?

Flash cs4 mac - Error opening URL '/:Users:someting.swf' - Not a "loading external content" problem

Hello.
I am having a weird problem when trying to test a movie or publish preview -> flash on mac with Leopard os.
The result is a blank movie with the usuall "movie not loaded" if u right click on it and the output returns the "Error opening URL 'the path of the swf here'.
This has nothing to do with loading external files or something like that. It happens even in blank movies and it gives the same error if I try to open a swf from flash ide.
I can publish the project or export the movie with no problem at all.
I can preview the movie in html. I can run all the swf files in my hard disk, network, usb stick, dvd etc., but when I try to open any of these files from flash ide I got that stupid error.
Its not something that stops me from working in flash ide but its slow to export movie any time I want to test it.
Things that I've tried so far but nothing worked:
Update the flash cs4 to the latest version
Update the flash players
Restored the release flash player as default player (I am using as default the debug player)
Cleared the preferences
Move the flash cs4 folder to another location in hd
Saved the fla document first before testing the movie (in different places with or without spaces in document name or folder)
Give read & write permissions for everyone for flash.app, players and for fla files when saved first before test movie
Unistall and install the application 3-4 times.
Test every as version just in case.
Also I've checked the folders when testing movie and I can see that it creates an swf file, which I can run it outside flash ide (the one that the flash ide player cannot load) with no problem.
The mac os has the default set up as it came. Nothing chnaged in permissions or security settings.
Thanx in advance.

In this particular example I am using this code to start the

Is this a bug? loading component swf with MovieClipLoader

Guys, one wierdarse 'bug?' for you.
I have a swf created in Flash 8 Pro, published to Flash 7
with AS2.0 which contains just a selection of components dragged
from the standard library (date chooser, date field, combo bog,
radio button ,number list etc)
This swf is then loaded dynamically into a second fairly
straight foward swf - created in Flash 8 Pro, published for Flash 8
with AS2.0 using MovieClipLoader
The error:
When the first component is run on it's own, in flash, in
html etcetc all components work fine.
But when loaded into the 2nd swf all components work fine
APART from those containing some type of popup class (i'm guessing
here as don't know the inside of the components)
The two i've encountered which don't work are : Date field -
the click of the button, and comboBox
boxth of which ar eactive as they highlight in the standard
Flash green - so are active but do nothing when clicked.
so HELP, anyone know why, know a fix, has any idea what's
going on.
regards, Rich

The components you're having trouble with create their popup
ui in _root.
For example, the list part of the ComboBox is created in
_root. But if _root
doesn't have the necessary assets in its library, that part
of the component
cannot be created. In your case, you can either add all the
components to
library in your topmost movie or use _lockroot to force the
popup parts to
be created in the loaded movie.
Example:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("components_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var lo:Object = new Object();
lo.onLoadInit = function(target_mc){
target_mc._lockroot = true;
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.addListener(lo);
mcl.loadClip("components_mc.swf", components_mc);

Linked library items via MovieClipLoader?

So, some of you may have run into this before. I know there
is a known issue with importing an SWF to a MovieClip using
LoadMovie - in that, any library items in the SWF that have linkage
IDs can only be attachMovie'd within the MovieClip itself, and not
in the main timeline (or any other timeline).
However, I'm ok with this limitation.
I have a project where I'm creating an empty movieclip on the
main timeline, called "clip_1".
I then use a MovieClipLoader object to load an external SWF
("buttons_1.swf") into clip_1.
This works.
However, buttons_1.swf has several button clips with linkage
IDs set. What I want to do is, after buttons_1.swf has successfully
loaded into clip_1, then do something like
clip_1.attachMovie("btn_play", "play", 1);
where "btn_play" is the linkage ID of a button in
buttons_1.swf.
This does not work... and it probably should given that
apparently some people get a similar thing to work with
loadMovie(). I want to use MovieClipLoader, however, because of the
built-in error catching and completion features of that class.
I cannot use the "runtime sharing" workaround for this,
because I will have a potentially unlimited, unknown "button" SWFs
that will be used. The main movie will load the appropriate button
library at runtime, but I can't know in advance what all the
libraries will be, and after the main movie is published, ideally I
cannot go in and edit it again (want to have it dynamic as possible
from the beginning).
Any help would be appreciated. I know this is a confusing
issue.

Oops! Missed some quotes:
var mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("test_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
// child movie contains MCs with linkage IDs
// attach an instance of "testclip"
var _d = target_mc.getNextHighestDepth();
target_mc.attachMovie("testclip", "clip"+_d,
_d,{_x:30,_y:30});
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.addListener(mclListener);
mcl.loadClip("child.swf", mc);

1152 Error

So I have a MC thats throwing me for a loop. As stated its giving me the 1152 error code.
Symbol 'Personal Gallery MC', Layer 'Actions', Frame 2, Line 8
1152: A conflict exists with inherited definition flash.display:DisplayObject.root in namespace public.
and here is the line it refers to.
var root:MovieClip = this;
While I am sure this is exceedingly simple to fix I am stuck. I know there are know smae named instances and that the stupid little check box is turned off in the AS section.
Any thoughts?

I dont need this MC to do anything to the main timeline, It was coded and put together seperate from the main File... maybe thats the problem. The MC is just a scrolling slide show that I am setting on the mainstage. At anyrate Ill post up the whole code.. I just need to get this last thing working am im home free.

Error loadin external files in FL3.1 in s60

Hi
I used mobile packager for s60 and FL3.1 has a cery good
performance
but unfortunately my swf file couldn't load other movies
located in storage card/others folder
I used this command
loadMovieNum("file:///e:/others/myapp.swf", this);
also tried loadMovieNum("file://e:/others/myapp.swf", this);
but nothing worked
I don't want to put the other movies in the same folder of
the launcher app.
please help

No it didn't
would u please try to take a look at the simple loader I posted and fix it if you found a problem in and try it on pocket pc with fl3.1
stop();
var appPath:String=this._url.substring(0,this._url.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
///////// loading text
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

But this hangs the whole phone ...

Assistance with syntax error please

this line of AS is giving me a syntax error and I cannot
figure out the reason, requesting assistance please
var mclListener.onLoadInit =
function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
target_mc.setMask(mask_mc);
TIA

thanks that resolved my error, but the script isn't working
as expected. I am practicing from a book with AS 2.0 tutorials and
this code is supposed to produce a mask from a movie clip over an
image, but doesn't for me.
I create a square on frame 1, make it a movie clip with the
instance name of mask_mc and add this AS to frame 1.
System.security.allowDomain.allowDomain("
http://www.helpexamples.com");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("img_mc", 10);
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
target_mc.setMask(mask_mc);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mcl .addListener(mclListener);
my_mcl .loadClip("
http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg",
img_mc);
my external jpg isn't getting masked by the MC....any
ideas?

MovieClipLoader class

For some reason, I'm having difficulty wrapping my head
around how to implement and use the MovieClipLoader class. Here's
where I'm stuck. I have a bit of code that looks like this:
function showImage(filename:String):Void {
var image:MovieClip = imagePlaceholder_mc.image_mc;
image.loadMovie(filename);
//Center images
xPos = (900 - image._width)/2;
yPos = (600 - image._height)/2;
image._x = xPos;
image._y = yPos;
imagePlaceholder_mc._alpha = 0;
imagePlaceholder_mc.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
Now, whenever showImage() is called, the picture loads and
properly fades in. However, the image is not correctly centered.
However, if showImage is called a second time on the same image,
THEN the image properly centers. Basically, showImage uses the last
._width and ._height values. I assume this is because the clip
hasn't finished loading when xPos and yPos are set, and that if I
had the calculations occur when the .jpg is completely loaded, then
the correct results will occur.
However, I can't seem to figure out where to put my
MovieClipLoader class, where to stick the listeners, or anything.
I'm having some sort of problem conceptualizing how the class is
supposed to work, and for some reason the tutorials are not helping
me out. If it were explained to me in relation to the code I have
above, it would help.
Thanks,
Peter

Can't really explain it in terms of your code above because
it is different that your code above. The MCL just gives some nice
packaging to starting, progressing through, and ending, the load of
external assets. The listeners just listen for the different
"events" in this process and then can run certain bits of code when
those events happen.
So lets go to it. We start out well enough:
function showImage(filename:String):Void {
Then we need to make an instance of our MCL. It is also
possible to have it outside your function, but for now lets keep it
inside.
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader=new MovieClipLoader;
Next we need to make an object to attach the various events
to. There are a lot of ways they could have designed this, but this
is how they did it so that is what we do!
var myListener:Object=new Object()
Now there are several different events that the MCL might
have, but for the moment we are going to worry about only one of
them. You want to do something when the external asset is fully
loaded – you can't set the width or height until after the
whole thing is done.
myListener.onLoadInit=function(target:MovieClip){
Pos = (900 - target._width)/2;
yPos = (600 - target._height)/2;
target._x = xPos;
target._y = yPos;
target._parent._alpha = 0;
target._parent.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
Notice how basically your same code goes in there, but with
the difference of target? (BTW, I could have called that grapefruit
or anything I wanted, but target seemed good.) That is because the
onLoadInit event returns a reference to the thing that has just had
content loaded into it. So we can use that instead of having to
hard code the names of our movie clips. That makes it a lot more
flexible.
Okay we could now issue our load, close up the braces, and be
done with it. But we still have one more thing. Let's look at what
we have. We've made a function that sets up an MCL, makes and
Object to hold listeners, and set up an event inside that object.
But we still haven't told our MCL instance that it needs to report
its events to that object.
It is a great philosophical debate of whether events happen
if there is nothing there to listen for them! :) But on the
practical side, nothing will happen if we don't tell flash to
listen for them. That is way we need the next line:
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
That tells our MCL that when it has events it needs to tell
myListener about them. Now the MCL has many events onLoadStart,
onLoadProgress, etc. and it will dutifully tell our listener object
about them. Inside that listener we have only set up an action for
one of them, but hey, laissez les bon temps rouler.
So finally we can issue our load statement and close up the
braces.
myMCL.loadClip(filename);
So what happens?
You call your function and pass it the filename.
An MCL is created.
A listener object is created.
Object is given an event handler function.
The MCL is told to report its events to that Object.
The MCL starts loading the file.
The MCL has a onStartLoad event and reports it to the object.
Nope no handler for that, nothing to do.
Several times in a row the MCL has an onLoadProgress event,
and reports it.
Nope no handler for that, nothing to do.
etc.
Finally there is an onLoadInit event – the file is
ready to be mucked with. The MCL reports it to the object, and hey
there is something to do.
So the MCL tells the objects onLoadInit function, "I just
Inited, the following clip."
The function then takes that information and applies the
things you specified.
And that is pretty much it.
A couple of notes. The onLoadProgess event doesn't happen
when you are testing locally. So you won't see it.
It is a good practice to get into that when you are done with
something you remove the listener. So you might want to add the
following line to your onLoadInit function.
myMCL.removeListener(myListener);
(At least I think that is a good idea. I haven't done that
myself in the past, but I have recently become much more aware of
how important it is – at least generally – to remove
listeners. So if you get an error just remove that.)

Can i trap "Error opening URL" error?

Can i trap "Error opening URL" ?
I am using someMC.loadMovie("someImg.jpg")
This works fine I would however like to be able to use the
error "Error opening URL" and switch to another file if the first
dose not exist. Can i do this?

use the moviecliploader class to catch that error.

MCL Script Error In Flash 9

I have a very simple site built in flash which loads various
SWF files using MovieClipLoader.
MCL is only called on a button press.
There are no other significant scripts in the movie.
The called SWF files range in size from 1MB - 2.5MB, contain
limited functionality and a stop(); action in the first frame.
The client is running 3 machines (PC, Power PC Macs &
Intel Macs) and is reporting a Script error (The usual infinate
running slowly one). On all test machines (11 in total PC, Power PC
Macs & Intel Macs, 3 different locations with varying
connection speeds) everything runs correctly and I have been unable
to duplicate his issue.
The only exception was a factory configured iMac, and even
then only in Safari. I fixed this by updating the flash 9 player
from r20 to r28. The client has done this but seen no change.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem, or are there known
issues with MCL and larger swf files?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
dan.

Non of my test machines match exactly the clients connection
speed (they're on a 512 connection) but I do have slower (dial-up)
as well as faster conections.
I'd normally agree that my code must be doing something else,
but I swear the only this that's there to do anything is the MCL
object and it's related status bar (triggered onLoadProgress).
[code]
stop();
/* Initiate Vars */
var img_folder:String = "folios";
/* Image MCL Functionality */
imgMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
imgListener = new Object();
imgListener.onLoadInit = function (imgMC) {
imgLoadComplete(imgMC);
imgListener.onLoadProgress = function (target:MovieClip,
bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
var per:Number = Math.floor((bytesLoaded/bytesTotal) * 100);
status_mc.loadBar_mc._width = per;
status_mc.percentage = per;
imgMCL.addListener(imgListener);
imgLoadComplete = function(imgMC) {
this.gotoAndStop("site");
status_mc._visible = false;
folio_mc._x = 0;
createImg = function(file_name:String):Void {
var file_name:String = img_folder + "/" + file_name +
".swf";
var clip_ref :MovieClip= folio_mc;
imgMCL.loadClip(file_name, clip_ref);
changeFolio = function (folio:String):Void {
news_mc._x = 825;
contact_mc._x = 825;
folio_mc._x = 825;
status_mc._visible = true;
createImg(folio);
/* Start Initial Folio Load */
changeFolio("folio1");
[/code]
From here changeFolio(); is only ever called using onRelease
handlers attached to buttons. And that's it. No more script in
there.
The only time I've encountered anything similar has been with
an online SWF player which appeared to have very broken download
that paused for noticable amounts of time. Here the download is
smooth (according to the clients viewing of the loadbar).

Just can't get my head around onLoadInit/movieClipLoader

Hi,
I am loading images into flash from a mySQL database with php
using this code:
myData.onLoad = function(succes){
if(succes){
for(var i=0; i<this.cant; i++){
this.ref["target_mc"+i].loadMovie(this["image"+i])
} else trace("Error loading data");
I need to set what size these images display at as they need
to be shown as thumbnails as well as main images. I have learnt
that it is best to do this using the onLoadInit and moviecliploader
actionscript but I just can't understand what they are doing in the
help files. Does anyone have any advice or code examples that might
help. This is my first venture into using flash with a database so
the syntax loses me at times.
thanks
Gavin

Actually the MovieClipLoader is intended to make loading
external jpg files more controllable...it has nothing to do with
loading data from a database.
The MovieClipLoader requires 3 pieces to work:
1. the MCL object
2. A Listener object to listen to Events
3. Event functions (like onLoadInit) which are called by the
Listener when Events happen

Windows Vista: Ipod Error Message, no longer read by PCs

Hello,
I have a 5th generation black ipod video with 30GB of memory.
The other day I hooked it up to my laptop (Toshiba, 4 months old) that it's been functioning on with no problems whatsoever. This weird error message flashed twice about it not being able to sync because of some software problem.
Eversince then, the only thing I can charge my ipod on is the family treadmill in the basement (~_~) as no other computer in the house recognizes it. I can't even charge it through the wall sockets, either.
I have changed the ipod cord, still no luck. I've also reset the device about 3 or 4 times and uninstalled, restarted the laptop then reinstalled itunes. I would like to reset it back to factory settings but that's impossible as computers/laptops don't pick it up. I live very far from a Mac store...
What's a girl to do? I can't live without my Busta Rhymes and Wu-Tang Clan!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

you have to update Vista go to this site and up-date http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Error while offsetting a variable

Hello Experts
I want to display the data for last 5 years in my query. So I tried using the SAP exit variable Current Calendar Year (0CYEAR) and the offset it by 5. However, I am getting the following error message for the query "System error in program SAPLRR12 and form REP_ASSIGN_INITIAL_OPT-01"
Any Help on this is appreciated and points will be assigned.
Thanks

Thanks Chetan for your prompt reply. I have assigned points.
But I would appreciate if you help me clear my understanding of offseting a variable.
Say if the Current Calendar Year variable returns 2008, then will offseting that variable by 5 return me the data for years 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 , 2004. Or, will it just return me the data for 2008 - 5 = 2004 only.
Thanks
Rishi
