Problem loading one SWF into another in Flash AS3

I am trying to load an SWF file in another SWF file. The child SWF file works fine when run standalone like if I set visibility of an item to true or false, it works fine. But when the SWF is loaded into a parent SWF, I am not able to execute such commands, neither I get any errors...

are both swfs as3 swfs?
is the code in the loaded swf and is that code referencing objects in the loaded swf?

Preserve frame rate when loading one swf into another

Is there a way to preserve the frame rate of a swf when
loading it into another swf that plays at a higher frame rate. I'm
loading some flash ads that mostly run at around 12-15 frames a
second into a portfolio site that runs at around 40 frames per
second. All my ads play too fast. The link is:
www.dg8tal.com/portfolioidea.html
Thanks!

As far as I understand it, there is no option to override the
frame rate designated by the main movie you are loading into. The
SWF file you are loading always inherits the framerate of the SWF
you are loading it into. Here are some suggested work-arounds that
might help:
1) Lower the frame rate of the main movie on the website that
you are loading into.
2) Expand the timelines of the advertisements just for use in
your portfolio
3) Put your menu and thumbnails in one HTML frame that can
then load each item in another HTML frame above it. Since each SWF
would load on its own, the framerate of your main swf would not
matter. You would lose your nice resizing effect though unless you
did some more complicated integration with javascript I imagine.
I would recommend going with option 2, since that will take
the smallest amount of work while preserving your overall design.
However, with the faster framerate, your advertisements would have
difference performance characteristics that you'll need to assess.
I'm trying to think of more options, but these seem to be the
first things that come to mind.

Load one swf after another?

Hey!
I've created a presentation in Flash that exceeds the maximum number of frames. I broke it up into a few different files, and now I need these .swfs to load one after another automatically, without prompting or clicking anything on the screen.
The presentation is for an interpretation program at work and will be played for an audience several times a day. It was originally a 6-slide-projector presentation that I simplified, and this is the last step to replacing the old projection system altogether.
Does anyone know how to solve my problem, as simply as possible?
Thank you!

you'll probably want to load them all at the start of you presentation so they're ready for display without waiting.
so, use standard preloader code to load your swfs. use a loop or dispatch an event to detect when one ends and another needs to start.

Problems loading Flex3 swf into AIR app

This is a challenging problem that I have reduced down to the
bare minimum and it is still reproduceable. I have built a minimal
AIR application and added a SWFLoader to it which loads a SWF file
named "Junk.swf" using an absolute path.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" title="Hello World">
<mx:Style>
WindowedApplication {
background-color:"0x999999";
background-alpha:"0.5";
</mx:Style>
<mx:SWFLoader
source="C:/myProjectFolder/renderers/Junk.swf" width="100%"
height="100%" />
</mx:WindowedApplication>
This works fine if I run the application from within Flex3,
however when I build an installer, install the application to my
windows vista system and execute it from the desktop the Junk.swf
will not display. If I replace the Junk.swf with another SWF of the
same name created in Flash CS3 then it will display properly when
my test app is executed from either Flex or the desktop.
The contents of the loaded SWF don't appear to be an issue
since even the simplest of Flex3 SWFs fail to display.
Interestingly when I add listeners to the SWFLoader to
determine if any errors are happening no error events are sent, but
I do receive both the INIT and COMPLETE events which tells me that
the Junk.swf is found and loaded, just not displayed.
Any assistance or even ideas that I could try would be
appreciated.

that's why i added those comments about the swf's domain. for locally loaded swfs, use:

Hi Kglad, Thanks for the Example.
if i run my class with securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain; then it throws this error: SecurityError: Error #2142: Security sandbox violation: local SWF files cannot use the LoaderContext.securityDomain property.
The swf file im trying to load is stored locally so i guess this error makes sense. However if i comment out that line i get the same "cannot access Stage owned by app" error?

How do you load an swf into another FLA document

Well, the headline pretty much says it all. I have gotten some swf files from another designer. I need to show them in my presentation. I am using Flash CS3 for mac. Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
Rich

I did find a tutorial on this. It was helpful. I am using Actionscript 3.0
Here is the code I used and it works. Except, I need to load another one after this one. Basically it is like a slide show of swf files. I need to play 3 swf files after another without any interaction by the user.
I am thinking I need to tell it to unload the first one and load the second one after the first one is finished and so on. I appreciate any advice.
Rich
var Xpos:Number=0;
var Ypos:Number=0;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest=new URLRequest("swfs/dannon_1.swf");
loader.load(defaultSWF);
loader.x=Xpos;
loader.y=Ypos;
addChild(loader);

Need Your Help with Loading SWF into another Flash Movie!

Hello,
I have created TWO Flash movies. They work just fine
individually, but I get problem when I put one into another one!
The main Flash is a Menu and the second one if a Photo Album.
The Menu is series of animation (Moving Objects) which finally
comes into rest and create the menu. The photo album is another SWF
file which is called with in the first Flash Movie (The Menu). The
SWF file is loaded as follow into the Main Flash.
MovieClip.prototype.drawRect = function(x, y, w, h) {
this.beginFill(0xFF0000, 100);
this.moveTo(0, 0);
this.lineTo(0+w, 0);
this.lineTo(0+w, 0+h);
this.lineTo(0, 0+h);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();
this._x = x;
this._y = y;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc6", 6);
mc6.lineStyle (3, 0x000000, 100);
mc6.drawRect(-77, -17, 20, 20);
mc6._xscale = 100;
mc6._yscale = 100;
loadMovie("photoAlbum.swf", mc6);
Problem arises when I click on the Play Button of the
photoAlbum.swf (Photo Album) since the execution of the play button
causes the Flash starts once again from the beginning of the entire
Flash Movie (Beginning of the animation creating the menu) and it
simply jumps into the Firm One of my Flash Movie.
Could you tell me how I can isulate what is in layer 6 (Where
the photoAlbum is loaded to) from the rest of my Flash Movie?
I hope I managed to explain my problem. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Babak

Hello Anya,
I have realized the problem arises from the Wait Function
which causes the Photo Album to pause for a period of time (Two
Seconds) once a Photo is fully displayed (I have Fade in/out Photo
Album). I realized everything works OK once I remove the function
and rather left the Photos to be flipped without any pausing (This
is an Auto-loading Album which simply Flips the photos!).
Here is the Wait Function which is causing all the trouble.
function wait()
stop();
var myInterval = setInterval(function ()
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
}, 2000);
Thank you so much for your help.
Cheers,
Babak

Load AS2 swf into AS3 swf problem

I have a flash with AS3 and inside this swf i load in a AS2 swf.
to load swf works just fine, but the problem is when i load this i want to go to
a specific part of it, for example i want to go to frame 3 in the loaded swf.
i must control this from the AS3 swf, does someone know if this is possible?
thanks in advance

so can i do like this then to go to frame 3 in my loaded swf?
MovieClip(ldr.content).gotoAndStop(3); ?

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

Flash player 10.3.181.14 broke my site, loading multiple swfs into an array

I load multiple swfs into an array, I add and remove the objects on the stage, this is for a rotating carousel.
All the items locations are established in xml. If I only have one item loaded into the array it works fine, if I have more then one it will not a) play the swf, or b) show the swf.
The swfs themselves contain code that fire events in the main container. Which cause other items to play or load.
Is anyone else having this issue?

Hi howet,
EDIT:
I've opened a flash bug in their bug system as I found I could reproduce the issue: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-7071
There are some workarounds I found on there.
ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
I was having a similar issue using a loading component which i've been using for several years with no issues. As with you the issue arose when loading multiple swfs (or even one swf and then a jpg) on 10.3 and above. It works fine on 10.2 and below still.
I found a workaround whilst I look for a proper answer and that is to delay subsequent loads using a hacky setTimeout.
For example:
protected function manageLoaded (p_event : Event) : void {
setTimeout(loadNext, 1);
// following line breaks the gotoAndStop of loaded swfs.
// loadNext();
I hope this helps you too, let me know.
Cheers,
Dan.

Passing variables from one swf to another

I am facing problem to pass variable from one swf to another.
I am using loadMovie to load another swf. how can I pass a variable
value to another swf. Can anyone help me plz? It is somewhat
urgent.
thanx in advance.

first of all:
this is the Flash Media Server and your problem is not
related to FMS....
second thing related to the "somewhat urgent" :
we, users on this forum, are not there to do your job... so
calm down otherwise no people will answer your question. This forum
is a free support forum that community of Flash developer use to
learn tricks and to solve problems.
Possibles solutions:
If the two swf are seperate you can use LocalConnection to
establish a connection between different swf.
If you load a second swf into the first one you can interact
like a standard movieClip(only if there from the same domain or if
you a policy file on the other server)
You can use SetVariable(via Javascript) to modify a root
variable on the other swf and check with an _root.onEnterFrame to
see if the variable had changed in the second swf.
* MovieClipLoader will do a better job, in your specify case,
than the loadMovie. Use the onLoadInit event to see when the swf is
really totaly loaded into the first one otherwise you will have
timing issues.
My final answer(lol) is the solution 2 with the
notice(*)

One swf to another

I don't know if this can be done but here it goes. I have 2
flash anamation on my site. Both have several scenes in them. My
question is? When linking over from one swf. to another. Can you
script it to start at a specific scene or must you start at the
begining of the swf.
Thanks

from the loaded swf's main timeline:
MovieClip(parent.parent)
will reference the timeline to which the swf's loader has been added. so, to reference a variable (eg, scoreVar) on that timeline, use:
MovieClip(parent.parent).scoreVar

How to Load an SWF into the Parent SWF

Hi all,
I have 3 SWFs.
X.SWF - Parent application. Contains an empty movie clip for
loading external swfs using loadClip() method.
B.SWF - Has some text and pics. Gets loaded into the empty
movieclip on X.SWF. Also has a button saying 'Load A.SWF'.
A.SWF - Similar to B.SWF with a button saying 'Load B.SWF'.
When I start the main application (X.SWF) and load B.SWF into
it all is fine.
But would like to click on the 'Load A.SWF' button on B.SWF
and load A.SWF into X.SWF. And visa-vesa.
The problem is I'm not able to refer to the parent container
(X) from these child (A and B) SWFs.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks

First if you use
Button.onPress=function(){
this._parent.loadMovie();
the movie try to load swf into B.swf because "this" mean the
button.Try with more ._parent or just if you X.swf is into the one
MovieClip in 1st stage _level0.SWF.loadMovie();.Also if you want to
load the A,B.swf into the stage simultaneously just create two
movieclips into the X.swf mcA and mcB and the path has gone to
_level0.SWF.mcA.loadMovie("A.swf"); :)
