Preload External swf files

I am trying to create a website that has a main swf file that
loads several external swf files into itself.
I would like the preloader not only to preload all of the
"main" content, but also the content that exists inside the
external swf files before proceeding to the main user interface.
Any help that you could give, addresses to a tutorial would
be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You could load each movie using movieClip.loadClip(); and
check it has been loaded by using a listener and the
"myListener.onLoadInit" script to write your own function to begin
the playhead for that movie.

FAQ: How do I load an external SWF file into a parent SWF file?

A ton of Flash users visit Adobe’s we site every month wondering about how to load an external SWF file from within another SWF.
Adobe's own TechNote on the subject attempts to answer the basic question, along with some common follow-up questions, including:
How do I load more than one SWF?
How do I load a SWF into a specific location in the display list?
How do I resize the loaded SWF?
How do I set its X and Y location?
Here are some additional resources that elaborate on loading content and on working with the display list:

in the swf itself that triggers its removal in its last frame. The

MovieClip(this.parent).removeChild(this);
Unfortunately I couldn't get this to work. I placed it on the
last frame of the SWF to be called - is that right?
I am not sure I am doing it correctly...

Preload extern swf results in weid behavior. It this normal?

Hello,
I tried to load an external swf file. In this swf file i have an embeded movie so that i see the preloader in action.
What happens is, that while preloading i hear the movie playing in the background.
So when the external swf is at for example 20% preloading the timeline is already playing in the external swf.
Isn't that weird?
I also noticed that the Event.INIT get's executed sooner for example at 17% progress. This should be at 100% is it not?
And in CS3 i get the error while previewing the bandwidth profiler:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
Does anyone know what is going wrong?
Regards,
Chris
This is the code i use:

It is normal to receive Event.INIT before Event.Complete because on Init event you may access as3 on loaded swf, but the symbols of library may still downloading.

How to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames?

I do not have much experience on Adobe Flash or Action Script 3, but I know the basics.
I am Arabic language teacher, and I design an application to teach Arabic, I just would like to learn how to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames.
Thanks

Look into using the Loader class to load the swf files. If you want to have it happen in different frames then you can put the code into the different frames.

How do I find the width of an external swf file that I am loading in

I have loaded in an external swf file and it works fine.
However, when I get the width dimensions of the movieclip that is housing the external swf file it gives me a '0' for the width.
Thanks for your time.

you must wait until loading is complete before trying to access the loaded objects width. at that point you can determine the width,height of the onstage/backstage objects in frame 1 of the loaded swf.

Loading external swf file in a new window

Hi,
I've got a few .swf files with video tutorials I've created using Captivate 4.
I wanted to link them so I've created a main screen with menu with buttons in Flash.
I've added AS to load the external swf files but they load in the same window. How can I load these .swf files in seperate window so that you could get back to the main window after you've finished watching?
Here's my code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie1_1);
function movie1_1(e:MouseEvent):void
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("01_01_Welcome.swf");
    myLoader.load(myURL);
    addChild(myLoader);
I'm also attaching screenshot with menu in flash

I've deleted the line and now the code lookes like that:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie1_1);
function movie1_1(e:MouseEvent):void
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("01_01_Welcome.swf");
    addChild(myLoader);
Unfortunately, it doesn't load the .swf file when you click on the button...

Remove / unload external swf file(s) from the main flash file and load a new swf file and garbage collection from memory.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

Andrei1,
Thank you for the helpful advice. I made the changes as you suggested but I am receiving a #1009 error message even though my site is working the way I wan it to work. I would still like to fix the errors so that my site runs and error free. This is the error I am receiving:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
I'm sure this is not the best method to unload loaders and I am guessing this is why I am receiving the following error message.
     loader.unload();
     loader2.unload();
     loader3.unload();
I also tried creating a function to unload the loader but received the same error message and my portfolio swf was not showing at all.
     function killLoad():void{
     try { loader.close(); loader2.close; loader3.close;} catch (e:*) {}
     loader.unload(); loader2.unload(); loader3.unload();
I have a question regarding suggestion you made to set Mouse Event to "null". What does this do setting the MouseEvent do exactly? Also, since I've set the MouseEvent to null do I also have to set the loader to null? e.g.
---- Here is my updated code ----
// variable for external loaders
var loader:Loader;
var loader1:Loader;
var loader2:Loader;
var loader3:Loader;
// makes borders resize with browser size
function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
// resizes portfolio page to center
     loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - loader.width) * .5;
     loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - loader.height) * .5;
// resizes about page to center
     loader3.x = (stage.stageWidth - 482) * .5 - 260;
     loader3.y = (stage.stageHeight - 492) * .5 - 140;
//adds gallery.swf to stage at begining of moviie
     Down();

How to unload the external .swf file when move on to other section?

Hi,
The following code provided by Mr. kglad works great in loading an external .swf file onto stage. Now, when I click on Contact (Button), the external .swf file to be removed completely. How to code on contact (Button) to work it out.
Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, GalleryClick);
function GalleryClick(e:Event):void{
if(currentClip != Gallery_mc){
currentClip.visible = false;
Gallery_mc.visible =true;
currentClip =Gallery_mc;}
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, ClipLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("Gallery.swf"));
function ClipLoaded(e:Event):void{
Gallery_mc.addChild(loader);
loader.x=0;
loader.y=120;
loader.width=1000;
loader.height=700
I tried the following code for Contact_btn to unload the Gallery.swf file which throws an error: 1120: Access of undefined property loader.
Contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ContactClick);
function ContactClick(e:Event):void{
if(currentClip != Cotnact_mc){
currentClip.visible = false;
Cotnact_mc.visible =true;
currentClip = Cotnact_mc;
Gallery_mc.removeChild(loader);}}

like so:
Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, GalleryClick);
function GalleryClick(e:Event):void{
if(currentClip != Gallery_mc){
currentClip.visible = false;
Gallery_mc.visible =true;
currentClip =Gallery_mc;}
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, ClipLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("Gallery.swf"));
function ClipLoaded(e:Event):void{
loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, ClipLoaded);
Gallery_mc.addChild(loader);
loader.x=0;
loader.y=120;
loader.width=1000;
loader.height=700
I tried the following code for Contact_btn to unload the Gallery.swf file which throws an error: 1120: Access of undefined property loader.
Contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ContactClick);
function ContactClick(e:Event):void{
if(currentClip != Cotnact_mc){
currentClip.visible = false;
Cotnact_mc.visible =true;
currentClip = Cotnact_mc;
if(loader){
if(loader.stage){
gallery_mc.removeChild(loader);
loader.unloadAndStop(); // for fp 10+
loader=null; // if loader no longer needed

Trouble loading an external swf file implemented with AS3

I am using Adobe Flash CS3
At first, I tried
swf_mc.loadMovie("//swf file
location");
It gave me
quote:
Warning: 1060: Migration issue: The method loadMovie is no
longer supported.
USE: var l = new Loader(); addChild(l); l.load(new
URLRequest("your url"));.
Well, the given code isn't working at all.
But since it is a migration error, I thought maybe I can just
save it into Flash5 format with AS1. Then it worked with most
external swf files. However, the one I am trying to load is a swf
file with AS3, so my older version swf can't load it at all.
Anyone has any ideas about how to load an external AS3 swf
file?

AS3 is a completely different beast than AS1 or 2. loadMovie
was removed from the language.
The answer to your question is two fold. First, Adobe was
kind enough to give us the code when it finds a migration issue.
var _ldr:Loader = new Loader();
addChild( _ldr );
_ldr.load( new URLRequest( "your url") );
Handling progress has also changed. I have a ContentLoader
package on my site that you're free to use that should familiarize
you with the new way that things are done in AS3.

Unloading external swf file keeps memory usage growing up

Hello everybody,
The idea is very simple: I have a submain.swf with 5 buttons. Each button loads an external .swf file.
com_loader.load(URLRequest);
After playing first external swf, before I go to next one, I try to unload it:
1. remove all its associated listeners:
com_loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.INIT-PROGRESS-COMPLETE, idFunction);
2. unload it:
com_loader.unload();
3. set to null:
com_loader = null;
and load next external swf file and so on.
The problem is that the FireFox/IE8.0 Memory Usage in Task Manager is going up and I see no sign of GC activity even after 5 mins of playing. Can anyone light me up pls? This is the second week working around and no good news until now.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.
If I try com_loader.unloadAndStop(); it gives me the error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
Vince.

Hi Ice,
The loaded swf file contains only a small photo, just for testing, with no listeners or other stuff in it.

Flv and external swf files

Hi,
Does somebody knows what is happening?
I'm using the mcLoader class to load all my external swf
files, everything worket perfectly until I decided to use
flvPlayBack on one of those external files. If the player is on my
main stage it works great and if I run directly the loaded swf it
also works, but now when i run the external swf through the
mcLoader the player doesn't appears.
my mcLoader code:
var mcLoader01:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader01.loadClip("clientes/targetTrade.swf",mcConatiner);
The flvPlayer should be on the second frame of this
targetTrade.swf ("click to watch the video")
thanks,

Hi,
You said swfs are Flash 8. Did you also set them to
Actionscript 2? If it's
Actionscript 3, that may be the problem. You may be
interested in looking at the
Flash Video templates I have at:

What happens when the Main Flash is 25 fps and an external SWF file is 12 fps?

Hello everyone,
I have a Main Flash which is set to 25 fps. This Flash is
used to load an external swf file which was created using 12 fps. I
would like to know what really happens when the Main Flash loads
the external swf file? Does the Main file forces the external file
to be run on 25 fps or the swf file is run with its own 12 fps?
Any ways, if someone can take the time and explain this, I
would be greatful.
Thank you very much and have a great day.
Khoramdin

the external swf plays at 25fps - all loaded movies will take
on the frame rate of the parent movie.
