Problem loading AS2 movies

I'm loading AS2 movies in a AS3 environment, using a Loader.
Movies load, but they loose some onRelease handlers. This behaviour
is consistent. Some onRelease handlers in the AS2 work (all the
time), some not. Anyone have the same experience or is there a
solution?

just ran across this note from the docs:
"If the loaded content is an AVM1 SWF file (written using
ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0), it cannot be cross-scripted by an AVM2
SWF file (written using ActionScript 3.0). However, you can
communicate between the two SWF files by using the LocalConnection
class."
might want to check into the LocalConnection class. you may
be able to construct some methods to pass values, but you still
will not be to 'script' from one version to another - however if
you're clever with you method construction you may be able to
utilize data gathered within the AVM1 by a AS2 script and pass it
for use in the AVM2 script.

Still having issues loading AS2 movies

I'm loading AS2 movies in a AS3 environment. The AS2 movies
use Tweener (any other tweening engine gives the same results btw).
If I load a AS2 movie the first time, a tween that uses a time and
easing property runs fine. When I load the AS2 movie the second
time... no go (the AS2 movie is removed... loader.unload, and the
loader is nullified, no listeners...). If I remove the time and
easing property on the tween, the 'tween' (it's now simply a new
value for x or y...) runs fine every time.
Is this some sort of cache issue? Broken GC kglad? Anyone
experienced this too or does anyone can shed some light on this?
Ideas maybe what I can try to solve this?

Problem going to fullscreen after loading AS2 movie into AS3

I've got a loader movie that is written in AS3, and
fullscreen is enabled. I have a context-menu fullscreen trigger and
a keypress fullscreen trigger built into the loader movie. When I
load an AS3 movie or an AS1 movie through the loader movie, I can
go to fullscreen without problems. When I load the AS2 movie, I
cannot.
Does anyone have an idea why this might be? I'm struggling.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your help, but as said ("But also using a
separated second loader to load the second file is not working.")
even when using a second loader (with a different name) the second
file loaded will not work.
I'm removing any EventListener from the first loader,
unloading and then nulling it.
But to me it seems, that the first content is not garbage
collected and because of that, even when loaded with an other
loader the first loaded swf-file interferes with the second.
I came to this conclusion, because the first loaded swf-file
is still working after trying to load the second file. And just
more weird: the first loaded file is in the same state and also
after closing the Flash-Player.
You can see it for yourself: download the testcase. Start the
testcase.swf. Load a contentfile. Skip a few pages. Quit the Flash
Player. Start the testcase.swf again and load the same contentfile.
You will see it's at the same position like before quiting the
Player.
And I can't help, but that seems like a bug to me...

What causes problem loading a movie?

Trying to download a movie, but getting "an error occured loading this content. Try again later". What would cause this?

I had this same problem while trying to watch Netflix content. Towards the end, before checking here, I couldn't watch more than a minute or two before I got the same error. I've got an AT&T modem, but I just unplugged both the modem and the AppleTV and plugged them back in and everything is working perfect now. Thanks Alley_Cat!

I rented a movie (dark shadows) but I can not see it, because a message appear "Problem loading...try again later". Is not a problem connection. I tried a lot of times to watch the movie and I didn't can.

I rented a movie (The Hobbit)...but it stops loading.

A phone call to the support team costs CHF 46.-- !!!!!
What do you think I will do?

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

Problems with loading AS2 assets into AS3 container

Hello,
in a Project I use the AS3 Loader Class to load
AS2-swf-files. The swf-files are placed into different subfolders,
since they're using the same filenames and subfoldernames for
config-files etc.
The Problem is: Whatever swf-file I load first, it is
working, but every swf-file after that fails. It seems to be
loaded, but it's not working correctly.
I'm using the attached code (easy as it seems) to unload the
present content and then loading the new one. But also using a
separated second loader to load the second file is not working.
I made some kind of testcase (a loader with 2 content
swf-files) for you, so you can understand what I'm talking about.
Here you can download the
testcase (28
MB).
It seems like there is a bug in the flash player 9 that
prevents the AS2-content from being unloaded correctly from an AS3
file. Can you confirm that there is such a bug? Or do you have an
explanation for this behavior? Or even better: a solution or
workaround?
Thanks a lot!

Hello this is the first time I have ever had a problem. I am trying to down load a movie and it keeps giving me error -50. I have signed out and back in and deleated the download and tryed again and still will not download.

Problem wit Quicktime - movies seem to need to load to watch

Been using Quicktime for years and never had a problem.
All of a sudden when I load a movie, around the progress bar that shows you where you are in the film there is a dotted line, which was never there before. In the past, I could simply advance the player to any point in the film I wanted. Now the film has to load completely before I can navigate the film, which can take a significant amount of time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. After years of use, I'm completely confounded and can't seem to find any posts about this.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

David:
It just may be server slowness as they all loaded for me rather quickly today except for the original of the hair massage. It took a little big to finish loading. Great site! I particularly like Freefall.

Disabled combo boxes don't display properly after loading a movie.

Hi,
I have a main movie that contains some combo boxes. Some of them may be disabled.
By pressing a button I load another movie using loadMovie. The loaded movie also contains combo boxes.
When the button is pressed, the clip that shows the combo boxes is removed from the stage and the loaded movie is displayed. By pressing another button, the loaded movie is unloaded and the clip with the combo boxes is displayed again.
Well, once the other movie has been loaded, when I go back to the clip with combo boxes, the disabled combo boxes have a small gray button covering the black down arrow.
I have determined that so long as the loaded movie contains combo box in the library, the problem occurrs, even if there is no actual instance of it.
The combo boxes that are not disabled are not affected. The combo boxes are disabled by setting "cb_name.enabled=false".
If the combo box is enabled, it displays correctly, but if disabled again, it goes wrong again.
My project is targeting Flash 8, so it uses AS2.
I'm using Flash CS4.
This is a very simple example I did to make sure I wasn't doing anything funny:
Initially:
After pressing the button:
After pressing the other button:
The behaviour in a web browser is the same...
I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response.
The "Load the movie" button:
on(click)
    _parent.gotoAndStop(2);
The 2nd frame:
loadMovie("Test another child.swf",Container);
stop();
The "Unload and go back" button:
on(click)
    unloadMovie(_parent.Container);
    _parent.gotoAndStop(1);
Container is a movieClip with a dark gray square shape the size of the movie clip that is loaded. It doesn't exist on frame 1, only on frame 2.
The combo boxes are inside a movie clip, and this is only on the stage on frame 1.
This and the captures belong to a very simple test I did. If there is a way of posting files, I can post a zip file with the two .fla and the two .swf.

Lenovo C560 with Windows 8.1 (16-gb RAM) will not successfully load Windows Movie Maker

I loaded Windows Movie Maker 12 with Windows Essentials. -This is exactly the same setup I am using on a HP desktop at work with Windows 8.1, but for some reason my C560 keeps giving me a "low memory" warning and will not load a AVI clip. -Worse, after trying... my whole computer gets glitchy and nothing seems to work properly until I shut it down, and restart it.
Quick recap on what I have tried. Upgraded from 6-gb to 16-gb of RAM. Increased the size of my Virtual Memory as much as it would let me. Nothing has made the slightest bit of difference.

If you have a flashlight available I would shine it into each of the USB ports to make sure all the contacts are aligned straight and to see there is no debris in the port that could be shorting out the data contacts.
Another thing to try is going into Windows Device Manager and uninstall the USB and then reboot the computer. When the computer restarts it will again install the USB ports. This procedure will make sure the operating system correctly has them installed.
If the USB ports are still not functioning I would recommend you contact Lenovo Support for warranty service. You can find the phone number for Lenovo Support in your country or area by using the link below....

HT203167 I ordered and paid for a movie without being on wifi or connected to my laptop. I have not been able to down load the movie that I paid for so how do I get it down loaded?

I have a couple of questions. I down loaded a movie when I was not hooked up to wifi or connected to my laptop. I was charged for the movie but I have not been able to down load it or find it anywhere in my account.
Question:
1. Where do I find this movie and how do I get it down loaded to my I Pad?
When I signed in to ask this question I had to go through a lot of sign in problems and also create a user name that is completely different that any of the sing in information that I have used previously. Which create a lot of questions:
1. Why did I have to create a user name that I never had to do before?
2. Will this change the sign in process in the future?
I will appreciate the answers to these questions
Thank you very much.

yes it could well do if your bank thinks there is something going on that is not from you they will block it. I have had this problem before, I would of thought they would of phoned me but they don't do that.
If I was you I would go to my bank make sure they are not doing anything like that. If they say it's all fine then i would phone up apple them self or go into my local apple store, as they should be able to look at what there servers are saying why it's not working.
