Navigation Between multiple SWF files

ok so I'm still working on this project and it got literally huge... at least huge enough to consume all of my 3 GB RAM memory and crash my Adobe Flash CS4. Anyway, I decided to put the site on several swf's but the problem is that I've never done that before so I have no idea how to navigate between them.
Basically I have a main swf file, inside it there's an image (let's say its instance name is "projects_btn") that should take me to "Projects.swf", and I want to click on an "x" sign (its instance name is "xSign_btn") inside Projects.swf that would take me back to the main swf file "Bnaider2.swf".
Any suggestions? thanks in advance...

1. ok that link was very useful, thanks alot. project.swf is loading properly. But I donno what's going wrong, it just doesn't unload the project.swf when I click the xSign here's the code, maybe I've screwed something up:
//On the main timeline of the project.swf file:
xSign.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, xClickHandler);
function xClickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
     dispatchEvent(new Event("backHome"));
// On the main time line of Bnaider.swf file:
projectsImg2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onProjectsClick);
function onProjectsClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
     var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("project.swf");
     var proLoader:Loader = new Loader();
     proLoader.load(urlReq);
     proLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderHandler);
     function loaderHandler(e:Event):void {
          addChild(proLoader);
     function loaderCompleteHandler(event:Event) {
          (event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip).addEventListener("backHome",xClickHandler);
     function xClickHandler(event:Event):void {
          proLoader.unload();
2. the projects section of my site is divided into four swf's. First "project.swf" should load when I click on projectImg2 inside Bnaider.swf which is working fine so far (but doesn't unload once I click the xSign). Then I want "project2.swf" to load/run once I click on a button instantiated as "nextSwf" inside "project.swf". And on project2.swf as well, there's an xSign that once clicked  it should take me back to Bnaider.swf... and the same thing with the other two swf's. So... I donno, this is really getting too complicated for me, but if anyone could help I would really appreciate it cuz the whole project is due this Saturday and I've still got a few more things to work on as well... Thanks in advance...

  • IE running under XP can't handle multiple SWF files, Why?

    I noticed that IE 8 running under Windows XP cannot handle multiple swf files in one page.
    Up to about 10 files is no problem they are loaded and we can play them ( buttons that start a small audio file).
    But more of these files in one page will stop IE.
    Firefox ( 3.6.28) runs them fine.
    And also IE 8 and/or Firefox under Windows 7 handles them perfectly.
    Has anyone any idea what can cause this and how to resolve this?

    Sorry...I still don't get it. What is it about Windows FUS that keeps iTunes from running running the process twice? It can run many other non-Apple windows apps in multiple user sessions (commercial apps, open source apps, audio/video apps, networked apps). I can even run two different virtual machines at the same time under two different user sessions.
    Why can iTunesHelper.exe run twice but iTunes.exe cannot? Why can I run Safari at the same time? Quicktime Player runs fine under multiple user sessions.
    Blaming it on Windows and/or FUS sounds like FUD. Can anyone give a valid technical reason? Semaphores? Mutexes? An admission (and explanation) that the Windows version is purposely crippled?

  • How to bundle a .FLA and multiple .SWF files in one .EXE?

    Hi,
    I have a .FLA file which uses loadMovieNum() to load various
    .SWF files when each one is called by the user clicking on a
    button. Each .SWF file also uses loadMovieNum() to call a second
    .SWF file. When I publish the .FLA file as a .SWF file it all works
    beautifully.
    Now I need to package the entire project into a Windows
    projector .EXE file for offline use on a computer without the Flash
    Player. When I publish the main .FLA file as a .EXE file, the .SWF
    files still load, although they blink before fully loading and
    displaying steadily.
    What I would really like to do is to bundle all the .SWF
    files into the .EXE file so when I send the finished project to the
    end user, they only have to deal with one file, rather than a
    folder with the .EXE file and multiple .SWF files.
    Is there a way to do this?
    I am using Flash 8 Professional.
    Thanks,
    Cam

    Since this isn't going to be web-based, why not include all
    the external swf files into the same Flash file and then use
    attachMovie?
    This will allow you to create one .exe file that would
    contain EVERYTHING. Since you aren't worried about loading speeds,
    you don't have to load the movie clips, but can simply create one
    large Flash file.

    Generally making sure that the SWFs are at the remote
    location where you think they are supposed to be (and where the
    code thinks they are supposed to be) as well as making sure that
    the active content JavaScript file(s) are uploaded and are present
    where the page is expecting them to be. Beyond that, for anyone to
    see what is wrong with your page(s), you have to post a link to
    your page(s).

  • Creating IPA file with Multiple SWF files using ADT

    Iam successfully able to create ipa files using the ADT package but my next requirement is to create an IPA file with multiple swf files.I think it might be easy if your SWF files are regular the tough part is my swf file has lot of action script in it so the only option is to through the command prompt and using the ADT package of Adobe AIR.So now i have 10 SWF files like this and iam creating ipa file for each swf seperatly but now I want to put all of the swf files into one ipa file.Please let me know if i was not clear in my description

    I think you are trying to explain how to load two swf's one with action
    script and loading an other swf file which should be non action script.If
    you read my requirement carefully.I have all the same type of swf's and
    these swf are automatically created as a form of output for xcelsius dash
    board software.Iam capable of creating individialu ipa files from these swf
    files.So when I try to combine the same kind of swf files the first error
    its giving is the file name which I have used in the xml.in the main file
    name for the swf file its not considering the two swf file name in the
    initial window.so the adt package in the command line is not understanding
    the file name from the xml and the command prompt and giving error this swf
    file does not exist.So please consider how to combine two swf files with AS3
    into one ipa file.These swf files are not editable,Let me know if you find

  • Need Preloader for Multiple SWF files

    SORRY FOR THE DUPE POST, THE OTHER CAN BE DELETED. MY ADOBE
    ID PROFILES WERE MESSED UP.
    Hi forums, I'm new to Flash. I did the following:
    1. Created a complex home page, about 3.5MB in size, due to a
    large graphic I had to use many times over and couldn't make into a
    symbol (long story). It's called INDEX.SWF, with accompanying
    INDEX.HTML file from Flash
    2. Split pieces of the INDEX.SWF file into multiple SWF files
    to make it load faster
    3. Created multiple layers in INDEX.SWF using loadMovieNum to
    call to multiple SWF files from step 2
    This works OK, but I think a preloader would optimize my page
    animation. However:
    1. I don't understand how a preloader file gets recognized on
    the site load. If I create a file called PRELOADER.FLA and publish
    it, how does the site know to use it first? Does it need a special
    name?
    2. Once I understand #1 above, I might be able to use some
    sample preloader files I've found. It seems like all I have to do
    is change the actionscript to point to my main file, but not sure
    yet. I'll get to that next once I understand how the file even gets
    recognized and loaded. Thanks for your help!

  • Sharing SharedObjects between multiple .swfs

    Relatively simple problem; I have a project that I think may be more manageable if I break it up into multiple small .swf files rather than having a gargantuan mega .swf.
    Now, I know that I could use a root .swf and load data from the others, but I think that it'll be a lot easier to debug and update if I'm using separate self-contained .swfs, so this is the direction I'm currently investigating.
    However, the .swfs won't really work unless I can have user-data persist between them, so I'm wondering if I can load a SharedObject saved by another .swf file? Are there any important caveats that I need to be aware of?
    In particular, can anyone give me sample code that would allow me to do this with both an online and offline copy of the files; i.e - if I run the same set of .swfs from haravikk.com, and locally, I want them to still be able to share data with one-another. In this case though I won't need to worry about sharing data between a local copy and haravikk.com, just so long as the files themselves can pass data within whatever domain they're loaded it should be fine.

    To do this I still need to make sure that all .swfs are retrieving/flushing their SharedObjects to the same domain though, right?
    I'm curious, is there a good way to work out what the right domain is dynamically?
    For example; say I have "Menu.swf", and "About.swf", both store in the same folder "MySite", so the files are located at "MySite/Menu.swf" and "MySite/About.swf" respectively. To avoid tying the files to a particular domain-name (so it can still work offline) I'd like to grab the current location of the .swf, and remove the file-name so that I have a domain containing just the enclosing folder.
    Is there a best way to do this? Basically so I can have my .swf files using a consistent domain for storing/saving, while still supporting relocating the files, so they will work offline if I copy them to my local machine for example.

  • Html link to multiple swf files on 1 html page

    i have a html page that has multiple (20) links to video files, i would like to play these files in the same position, within the same html page. therefore saving myself having 20 html files with the separate swf files embedded. firstly i was planning on converting my .mov files to swf to make then smaller.
    my query is, what is the best way to 'house' a swf file(s) that plays when clicked on the relative link on that page.
    i have build the page using CSS and have limited javascript knowledge although im keen to learn.

    You need a Flash player that supports a playlist.  If you're good with Flash and Action Script you could build a custom player.  If not, pick-one from the links below:

  • SWFaddress deep linking between multiple swfs

    Hi, I am using SWFaddress to create deep linking within my
    website. It works great within the main swf, however when I load a
    new swf, the history chain becomes broken. I think it is to do with
    the Actionscript on the 1st frame on the loaded swf.
    The Actionscript in the 1st frames of both swf files is:
    #include "SWFAddress.as"
    function btnRelease() {
    SWFAddress.setValue(this.deepLink);
    function btnRollOver() {
    SWFAddress.setStatus(this.deepLink);
    function btnRollOut() {
    SWFAddress.resetStatus();
    SWFAddress.onChange = function() {
    var value = SWFAddress.getValue();
    if (_currentframe == 2 && value == '/') {
    play();
    } else {
    var frame = _currentframe;
    gotoAndStop('$' + value);
    if (frame == _currentframe) {
    gotoAndStop('$/error/');
    return;
    SWFAddress.setTitle(formatTitle(value));
    Should I amend the Actionscript in the loaded swf? The
    Actionscript in the 1st frame of a button is:
    this.deepLink = '/welcome/';
    this.onRelease = _root.btnRelease;
    this.onRollOver = _root.btnRollOver;
    this.onRollOut = _root.btnRollOut;
    stop();
    Hope someone can shed some light on this.
    Many thanks

    Bar,
    Why do you create separate projects? You can have multiple app defs in one project, all generating into their own subdirectories. See chapter on Team-based development in Dev Guide for more info.
    Anyway, even with separate projects (meaning separate web applications when running within JDev, you could still deploy everything in one ear file) this can be done. In this case, the deep link should be a goLink rather than a commandLink, and you should pass the deeplink query context as a request parameter, for example
    UrlToCallOtherApp?deepLinkId=123
    Then, in the deeplink target group, you should set the Enable DeepLinking expression to something like #{param.deepLinkId!=null} (or #{param.deepLinkId!='', if first one does not work}

  • Trying to properly code a menu with buttons that can go back and forth between external swf files

    I have a project I've been working on that, when properly coded, has a "main menu" with 4 "doors" (buttons). When the corresponding buttons to these "doors" are clicked, it should go to and play an external .swf file. If that doesn't make sense, think of a DVD menu. You click play movie, it plays the movie. When the movie is over, there's two buttons on that swf file to either play the movie over or go back the main menu, which is an external .swf file (Remember, we go to the movie from the menu, which is a seperate file). So far, the buttons work. The menu works. However, from the movie, at the conclusion, when I click the button to go back to the main menu, it displays the movie clip and the buttons, but none of the buttons work. I'm starting to think it has to do with the fact the main menu was written in AS3 and the movie was made in AS2. If anyone can assist me in being to able to keep both files and still navigate between the two, being able to bring up the menu from the movie and be able to play the movie again, and so on and so on, that'd be GREAT. I'm somewhat of a noob to Flash, but I learn quickly and I'm open to any suggestions. Here's the code for main menu, which I guess acts as the parent file, and the movie. If I get this to work, I essentially would duplicate the same actions for the other 4 doors, once I complete the environments for them. Thanks
    Main.Fla/Swf (written in AS3)
    (This is the action on the first frame, that has all the buttons. For this question, I'm just trying to properly code for 'Door4', which is the "door" to the movie.)
    import flash.display.Loader;
    stop();
    var myLoader1:Loader=new Loader ();
    Door4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, jayzSwf);
    function jayzSwf(myevent1:MouseEvent):void
              var myURL1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("jayzspeaks.swf");
              myLoader1.load(myURL1);
              addChild(myLoader1);
              myLoader1.x = 0;
              myLoader1.y = 0;
    Movie.Fla/Swf (written in AS2)
    (This is action on the button that returns to the menu)
    on (release) {
              this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",this.getNextHighestDepth());
              container.loadMovie("main.swf");

    At least you're going in the correct (mis)direction. You have AS3 loading AS2. So that's not a huge hurdle.
    I believe all you really need to do is send your Main.swf a signal that the content it loaded (e.g. jayzspeaks.swf) is done and you want to get rid of it.
    The code I pointed you to asks you to (upon download and import then) instantiate it in both AS2 and AS3. They give a very simple easy to understand line of code.
    // as2, load this in jayzspeaks.swf
    var myBridge:SWFBridgeAS2 = new SWFBridgeAS2("connectionID", clientObj);
    // as3, load this in main.swf
    var myBridge:SWFBridgeAS3 = new SWFBridgeAS3("connectionID", clientObj);
    Make sure the connectionID matches between them. Set it to whatever you want.
    When you're done with your as2 loaded content you'd send a signal (over localconnection) back to the AS3 Main like they say:
    myBridge.send("someFunctionToUnloadContent");
    myBridge.close();
    You'd need to make the as3 function "someFunctionToUnloadContent()" (example purposes only name) and it should unload the jayzspeaks.swf that was loaded in the loader.
    Make sure you get that close in there so you don't drill up a bunch of localconnection objects just like the simple source code says.

  • Establishing a socket connection between a .swf file and a socket-test program (TCP/IP builder - Windows), in AS3.

    I have an issue with a college project I'm working on.
    Using Actionscript 3, I made a simple .swf program, an animated, interactive smiley, that 'reacts' to number inputs in a input-box.
    For the sake of the project, I now need to make the framework for establishing a socket connection with the smiley .swf, and another program.
    This is where I encounter issues. I have very little knowledge of AS3 programming, so I'm not certain how to establish the connection - what's required code-wise for it, that is.
    To test the connection, I'm attempting to use the "TCP/IP builder" program from windows, which lets me set up a server socket. I need to program the .swf file into a client - to recognize it, connect to it, then be able to receive data (so that the data can then be used to have the smiley 'react' to it - like how it does now with the input-box, only 'automatically' as it gets the data rather than by manual input).
    My attempts at coding it are as follows, using a tutorial (linked HERE):
    //SOCKET STUFF GOES HERE
        var socket:XMLSocket;        
        stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doConnect); 
    // This one connects to local, port 9001, and applies event listeners
        function doConnect(evt:MouseEvent):void 
        stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doConnect); 
        socket = new XMLSocket("127.0.0.1", 9001);   
        socket.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, onConnect); 
        socket.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError); 
    // This traces the connection (lets us see it happened, or failed)
        function onConnect(evt:Event):void 
            trace("Connected"); 
            socket.removeEventListener(Event.CONNECT, onConnect); 
            socket.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError); 
            socket.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, onDataReceived); 
            socket.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, onSocketClose);             
            stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUp); 
        function onError(evt:IOErrorEvent):void 
            trace("Connect failed"); 
            socket.removeEventListener(Event.CONNECT, onConnect); 
            socket.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError); 
            stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doConnect); 
    // Here, the flash tracks what keyboard button is pressed.
    // If 'q' is pressed, the connection ends.
            function keyUp(evt:KeyboardEvent):void 
            if (evt.keyCode == 81) // the key code for q is 81 
                socket.send("exit"); 
            else 
                socket.send(evt.keyCode); 
    // This one should handle the data we get from the server.
            function onDataReceived(evt:DataEvent):void 
            try { 
                trace("From Server:",  evt.data ); 
            catch (e:Error) { 
                trace('error'); 
        function onSocketClose(evt:Event):void 
            trace("Connection Closed"); 
            stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUp); 
            socket.removeEventListener(Event.CLOSE, onSocketClose); 
            socket.removeEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, onDataReceived);
    Trying to connect to the socket gives me either no result (other than a 'connection failed' message when I click the .swf), or the following error:
    Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: file:///C|/Users/Marko/Desktop/Završni/Flash%20documents/Smiley%5FTCP%5FIP%5Fv4.swf cannot load data from 127.0.0.1:9001.
        at Smiley_TCP_IP_v4_fla::MainTimeline/doConnect()[Smiley_TCP_IP_v4_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:12] 

    Tried adding that particular integer code, ended up with either errors ("use of unspecified variable" and "implicit coercion") , or no effect whatsoever (despite tracing it).
    Noticed as well that the earlier socket code had the following for byte reading:
    "sock.bytesAvailable > 0" (reads any positive number)
    ...rather than your new:
    "sock.bytesAvailable != 0" (reads any negative/positive number)
    Any difference as far as stability/avoiding bugs goes?
    So then, I tried something different: Have the program turn the "msg" string variable, into a "sentnumber" number variable. This seemed to work nicely, tracing a NaN for text (expected), or tracing the number of an actual number.
    I also did a few alterations to the input box - it now no longer needs the 'enter' key to do the calculation, it updates the animation after any key release.
    With all this considered and the requirements of the project, I now have a few goals I want to achieve for the client, in the following order of priority:
    1) Have the "sentnumber" number variable be recognized by the inputbox layer, so that it puts it into the input box. So in effect, it goes: Connect -> Send data that is number (NaN's ignored) -> number put into input box -> key press on client makes animation react. I optionally might need a way to limit the number of digits that the animation reacts to (right now it uses 1-3 digit numbers, so if I get sent a huge number, it might cause issues).
    - If the NaN can't be ignored (breaks the math/calculus code or some other crash), I need some way of 'restricting' the data it reads to not include NaN's that might be sent.
    - Or for simplicity, should I just detect the traced "NaN" output, reacting by setting the number variable to be "0" in such cases?
    2) After achieving 1), I'll need to have the process be automatic - not requiring a keyboard presses from the client, but happening instantly once the data is sent during a working connection.
    - Can this be done by copying the huge amounts of math/calculus code from the inputbox layer, into the socket layer, right under where I create the "sentnumber" variable, and modifying it delicately?
    3) The connection still has some usability and user issues - since the connection happens only once, on frame 1, it only connects if I already have a listening server when I run the client, and client can't re-connect if the server socket doesn't restart itself.
    I believe to do this, I need to make the connection happen on demand, rather than once at the start.
    For the project's requirement, I also need to allow client users to define the IP / port it's going to connect to (since the only alternative so far is editing the client in flash pro).
    In other words, I need to make a "Connect" button and two textboxes (for IP and port, respectively), which do the following:
    - On pressing "Connect", the button sets whatever is in the text boxes as the address of the IP and port the socket will connect to, then connects to that address without issues (or with a error message if it can't due to wrong IP/port).
    - The connection needs to work for non-local addresses. Not sure if it can yet.
    - On re-pressing connect, the previous socket is closed, then creates a new socket (with new IP/port, if that was altered)
    It seems like making the button should be as simple as putting the existing socket code under the function of a button, but it also seems like it's going to cause issues similar to the 'looping frames' error.
    4) Optional addition: Have a scrolling textbox like the AIR server has, to track what the connection is doing on-the-fly.
    The end result would be a client that allows user to input IP/Port, connects on button press (optionally tracking/display what the socket is doing via scrollbox), automatically alters the smiley based on what numbers are sent whilst the connection lasts, and on subsequent button presses, makes a new connection after closing off the previous one.
    Dropbox link to new client version:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/ybaa8zi4i6d7u6a/Smiley_TCP_IP_v7.fla?dl=0
    So, starting from 1), can I, and how can I, get the number variable recognized by "inputbox" layer's code? It keeps giving me 'unrecognized variable' errors.

  • Multiple SWF files in one website

    Hi,
    I am a Flash newbie!!
    I am building my first website and have been advised to
    create each page as a seperate SWF file instead of using seperate
    scenes in the same SWF file.
    Before I get too deep into this project I want to make sure
    that this is the best way to do it?
    Also, One I have completed all the pages I will of course
    have about 10 different SWF files. Is it easy to create a Website
    using these files??? If so how is this done??
    thanks

  • Publishing multiple .swf files to play continuously

    I have used a program called Camtesia that publishes its
    presentations in Shockwave (or .flv) formats. I have a 3 MB
    presentation that I am supposed to deploy to my company's website,
    where we are "encouraged" to keep media files under 500 KB. In
    considering a solution, I thought about breaking the presentation
    into smaller .swf files, but I want to be able to embed them within
    the HTML to play continuously and seamlessly, so it appears as one
    presentation. If anyone has any suggestions for me as to how I can
    either do this or employ a different solution, I would really
    appreciate the help. Thanks!

  • Need help with - playing back to back multiple .swf files

    I have four .swf files namely, 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf and 4.swf
    I have linked these files to buttons that can play these
    movies individually without any problem and the movieloads it
    automatically starts 1.swf movie and plays it completely.
    However, what I'd like to to do is have these movies
    onloading start playing automatically from 1.swf to 4.swf as a
    continous play and give the user the ability to click on a button
    to skip and play any of the four .swf files.
    The code I have for currently is as follows:
    loadMovie("1.swf","placeholder_mc");
    this.1_btn.onRelease = function () {
    loadMovie("1.swf","placeholder_mc");}
    this.2_btn.onRelease = function () {
    loadMovie("2.swf","placeholder_mc");}
    stop();
    this.3_btn.onRelease = function () {
    loadMovie("3.swf","placeholder_mc");}
    stop();
    this.4_btn.onRelease = function () {
    loadMovie("4.swf","placeholder_mc");}
    stop();
    From what I have read so far to accomplish the above I'll
    probably need some varialbles to be defined and have listner code.
    I could be wrong. Since I am very new at Actionscript, would
    greatly appreciate forum members assistance.
    I am using Flash8 professional. Thanks.

    you'll need to either use code in the loaded swfs or create a
    loop in your main swf that repeatedly checks the _currentframe of
    the loaded swf and when that equals the loaded swf's _totalframes,
    you'll load the next swf.

  • How to embed multiple SWF files into TinyMCE editor

    Hello,
    I am looking for help with Captivate 3. I have a demonstration recording that gives me two swf files, one for the actuall recording, another for the skin. The company I work for uses Helpstream for knowledge base content. The articles I enter need to sometimes have videos embeded. They use a tiny mce editor, and I'm not sure how to embed the two files together. After publishing the recording, I tried to take the object code from the html file, and use that, but that did not work.
    Any suggestions on how I can do this? Is there some setting that I need to have before publshing that will combine the skin and recording into one flash file? Currently I use Camtasia, but I would like to create more advanced video content and start using CAptivate full time.
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    Clicking Project > Skin > Borders tab and DE-selecting the Show Borders option will eliminate the skin.SWF from being created.
    Cheers... Rick
