Still need help :( loading outside files in actionscript

Ive been all over the forums online trying to get this
problem fixed and no one has really settled it for me (its been
MONTHS)
So I'm going to attempt to be as in depth as possible and
post code as well.
Heres the deal- its a portfolio site, www,darrenlasso.com
The problem is when i load multiple swf files into levels.
When i first call on an outside swf from a button inside the main
file the code looks something like this:
on(release){
_level1._visible=false;
loadMovieNum("cover.swf", 1);
cvrbtn._visible = false
acibtn._visible = false
When from inside THAT file, I want to return back to the MAIN
navigation file, the code looks more like this:
on(release){
mcl.addListener(mclListener);
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip){
mc._visible=true;
mc.gotoAndPlay(76);
_level1._visible=false;
mcl.loadClip("darnen.swf", 1);
Ive messed around with the code so many times now trying
everyones different suggestions that i dont even know if that is
the code I have live right now but i know its not working how i
want it to. The problem seems to be that i can only load into level
1, and when i do that, going between these various calls on outside
files there is a 'flicker' of a frame or two of the OLD previously
loaded file that will play BEFORE the new one initiates. As this is
a portfolio site it needs to be polished so i can't have stuff like
this plaguing it. Its been unfinished for months now because i just
can't figure it out. Please please help me if you can.. hopefully
you like a challenge because i just havent been able to get the
help i need from anywhere else :/

when i load the swf from outside, i want it to then be able
to return to the main navigation file which i guess would be level
0. So does that mean that the code for buttons navigating back to
the main flash file would be more like:
on(release){
mcl.addListener(mclListener);
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip){
mc._visible=true;
mc.gotoAndPlay(76);
_level1._visible=false;
mcl.loadClip("darnen.swf", 0);
As i load in all these different files from outside I've been
loading them all into level 1 because that seems to be the only way
to get them to display at all with the code I'm using. I assume it
might be better to load them all into individual levels? I'm not
sure. I'm still just kinda learning AScript as i go along..

  • Still need help with case sensitive strings

    Hello guy! Sorry to trouble you with the same problem again,
    but i still need help!
    "I am trying to create a scrypt that will compare a String
    with an editable text that the user should type to match that
    String. I was able to do that, but the problem is that is not case
    sensitive, even with the adobe help telling me that strings are
    case sensitive. Do you guys know how to make that comparison match
    only if all the field has the right upper and lower case letters?
    on exitframe
    if field "t:texto1" = "Residencial Serra Verde"then
    go to next
    end if
    end
    |----> thats the one Im using!"
    There were 2 replys but both of them didnt work, and the
    second one even made the director crash, corrupting even previously
    files that had nothing to do with the initial problem..
    first solution given --
    If you put each item that you are comparing into a list, it
    magically
    makes it case sensitive. Just put list brackets around each
    item.
    on exitframe
    if [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"] then
    go to next
    end if
    end
    Second solution given--
    The = operator is not case-sensitive when used on strings,
    but the < and > operators are case-sensitive.
    So another way to do this is to check if the string is
    neither greater than nor less than the target string:
    vExpected = "Residencial Serra Verde"
    vInput = field "t:texto 1"
    if vExpected < vInput then
    -- ignore
    else if vExpected > vInput then
    -- ignore
    else
    -- vExpected is a case-sensitive match for vInput
    go next
    end if
    So any new solutions??
    Thanks in advance!!
    joao rsm

    The first solution does in fact work and is probably the most
    efficient way
    of doing it. You can verify that it works by starting with a
    new director
    movie and adding a field named "t:texto1" into the cast with
    the text
    "Residencial Serra Verde" in the field. Next type the
    following command in
    the message window and press Enter
    put [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"]
    You will see it return 1 which means True. Next, make the R
    in the field
    lower case and execute the command in the message window, it
    will return 0
    (true).
    Now that you know this works, you need to dig deeper in your
    code to find
    what the problem is. Any more info you can supply?

  • I need help loading a swf file in a flash website

    Hi,
    I am an interactive design student working on a flash portfiolio and need help. I can't figure out how to load a game I made in flash into my porfolio so that it loads after clicking on a button, becomes playable, then have a button to leave the game and go back to my portfolio. I'm working in Actionscript 2.0 because that's all my teachers will show me and I have minimal actionscript knowledge.
    Thanks,
    Emily

    I thought I got it to work with loadMovie, but it only plays the intro, and then either repeats or exits as soon as the first bit of actionscript starts

  • Need help loading data from Excel data file to oracle tables

    i need to load an Excel spreadsheet to Oracle table.
    The spreadsheet contains 20 columns, the first 8 columns contains basic info, but the rest 12 columns contains info like
    1stQtr_08, 2ndQtr_08, 3rdQtr_08, 4thQtr_08
    1stQtr_09, 2ndQtr_09, 3rdQtr_09, 4thQtr_09
    1stQtr_10, 2ndQtr_10, 3rdQtr_10, 4thQtr_10
    So what i need to accomplish is:
    break that one record(with 20 fields) in Excel to 3 records for each fiscal year in the Oracle table, so each record in the database table will look like
    8 basic field + fiscal_year + 1stQtr_08, 2ndQtr_08, 3rdQtr_08, 4thQtr_08
    8 basic field + fiscal_year + 1stQtr_09, 2ndQtr_09, 3rdQtr_09, 4thQtr_09
    8 basic field + fiscal_year + 1stQtr_10, 2ndQtr_10, 3rdQtr_10, 4thQtr_10
    There are about 10000 rows in the data file, so how can i use sqlldr to perform such task? beside sqlldr, any other good suggestions?
    thx

    External Tables is just an Oracle API for sqlloader. If you going to load this data over and over again, External tables would be a good idea, but if it's a one time thing, sqlldir is simpler, unless you just want to learn how to use External Tables.
    I used to run a data warehouse, so I have done, at least similar, to what you are doing in the past.

  • Complete code for loading swf file in actionscript 3

    i have a swf
    file which i want to load into a fla file and export as a new swf file. I understand this part but my actionscript 3.0 code that i put on frame one of the timeline does not work. I have tried every version i have seen online including in adobe's actionscript 3 classroom in a book.... and other books..... i want the swf to run immediately so i dont think i need any event listeners since i am not clicking a button or anything like that... just running the swf at start. any help wuld be appreciated... sent two day on this already... i can do it in actionscript 2 but have not figured it our in actionscript 3......... why does eeryone seem to do this slightly different too?   a complete code would be nice since obvously i am stupid........
    thanks

    Show the code you put in frame 1.  I don't think you can do what you say you intend to though.  As far as I know you cannot create a new filein the way you explained you intend to.  If you load the file dynamically as a separate swf, then you will always need to.

  • Need help: enter flash file in Dreamweaver site with dark background

    Hi,
    I've entered a SWF in a dreamweaver site with a dark blue
    background. When you view the site in a browser there is a white
    square (the size of the flash file) that flashes up for a second
    before the file starts loading. This is rather ugly and I was
    wondering if anyone knew how to avoid this white square from
    flashing up.
    I already tried making the table background dark blue and
    adding a dark blue square as a background image, but that has not
    made any difference.
    If you'd like to see what it does, this is a link to one of
    the pages: www.billmather.co.uk/portraits.htm
    Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can give me!

    Hi Horus,
    Thank you for getting back to me. I found it, and tried it.
    But still does not seem to make a difference. This is what the code

    Did I enter it correctly? (I also tried it as <param

  • Read every font topic, but I still need help

    I have been at this for about 4 hours, and I need help.
    I read Flash Help and every font forum topic, which say
    Static Text need not use embedded fonts.
    Links to .fla and .swf files below.
    Everything shows up fine in 'Control/Test Movie'
    Using Arial font, I cannot see static text in my test .swf
    file.
    I then embedded Arial (24 pt, bold, italic - 'ArialEmbedded'
    in the library).
    Using that font on Static text, can see the text, but not in
    Arial. It is in TimesNewRoman, regular, non-italic.
    I then used the embedded font in text I described as dynamic,
    but could not see any text.
    Everything shows up fine in Control/Test Movie.
    I get around this by building .gifs using graphics packages
    and importing them,
    but the results are less than desirable. (see layer ".gif
    from outside appl."

    Update.....
    I still cannot see text in .swf on my local machine, but I
    can see it on the web, after posting it, but the text looks awful.

  • I had to remove Mavericks and do a reinstall on 10.8.5 but still need help...

    I have been trying to undo my Mavericks upgrade in October and after considerable effort I am mostly got back to 10.8.5 OS but still need a bit of help. I just want the previous OS back in place then I'll try Mavericks soon....
    1)               I never seem to pay attention so is 10.8.5 the last OSX prior?  As long as it isn't Mavericks, I want to get it installed.
    2)               I had to reformat my iMac so I have a residual elements from 10.9 and one issue that I had before was permissions. Every number of files either on other hard drives or sometimes in my same user folder was asking for permission and authentication to simply move a file.. A popular one you'll see at the bottom the person/whatever/ problem known as fetching.  Could someone just give me the general reason of this fetching and permissions problem that I ran into?  Better yet since I just want to avoid it altogether into the future tell me what's the best way to assure it disappears forever.
    3)          Another, which is kind of a big ticket item for me is the backup/restore/cover your (!!!) system. I was a good little iMac User and had Time Machine backed up for a period prior to the Mavericks install. I'm a little bit upset that TM isn't 100%....but what is...?  I need another backup/restore system in place and that's what I am looking for recommendations on.  An item that saved me a bit was that I had OS 10.8.3 on an external hard drive.  The problem with that one was it was on a partition, on one of the drives requiring to be reformatted.  It worked as a bridge consolidating files and all but was a big headache as a partition on the external. Recovery Disk did it's part but wasn't enough as well.   Is there a simple/easy idea...clone, disk images, boot from an external drive… ?
    4)          iPhoto (9.4.3) currently will not open the libraries which iPhoto (9.5) converted. Is there way to go back?  Seems the App Store and Software update don't like something. I'm getting into a loop with App Store, iPhoto and the OS. Either the software needs operating system ... then the App Store says it's incompatible or some other complaint.  Right now I have 9.4.3 iPhoto installed for OSX 10.8.5 and was only able to create a new library and the converted ones currently do not open.
    Thanks to your help

    10.8.5 is the lates ML edition.  I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup.  If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup.  You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files.  The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files.  That should fix the permissions issue.  I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

  • I need help with viewing files from the external hard drive on Mac

    I own a 2010 mac pro 13' and using OS X 10.9.2(current version). The issue that I am in need of help is with my external hard drive.
    I am a photographer so It's safe and convinent to store pictures in my external hard drive.
    I have 1TB external hard drive and I've been using for about a year and never dropped it or didn't do any thing to harm the hardware.
    Today as always I connected the ext-hard drive to my mac and click on the icon.
    All of my pictures and files are gone accept one folder that has program.
    So I pulled up the external hard drive's info it says the date is still there, but somehow i can not view them in the finder.
    I really need help how to fix this issue!

    you have a notebook, there is a different forum.
    redundancy for files AND backups, and even cloud services
    so a reboot with shift key and verify? Recovery mode
    but two or more drives.
    a backup, a new data drive, a drive for recovery using Data Rescue III
    A drive can fail and usually not if, only when
    and is it bus powered or not

  • Need help loading DLL in labVIEW project

    I have a DLL that was written in C# that I want to load it to my labVIEW project. I have never done this before, so I need help. I chose Connectivity-Call Library Function Node then loaded my DLL. After, under function name, I typed in the function name from the code. I don't know what to do with other like Parameters.
    They don't let me attach dll file 
    Can someone explain how to set the parameters and etc?

    Well, it seems that you really need to learn quite a bit about .NET (ActiveX is very similar!) first.
    The constructor node in your code creates an object in your .NET CLR (Common Language Runtime). This object exposes properties and/or methods. Use Property Node(s) and Invoke Node(s) to access these. Usually, you get references to other objects which you can work this.
    Remember the golden rule for ActiveX and .NET:
    Close all references you created in your LabVIEW code on your own (using Close Reference)!

    Hi,
    Using the file adapter, you can poll from multilple locations...
    Keep the following property in your .jca file
    <property name="DirectorySeparator" value="," />
    While giving the path in File Adapter configuration, keep comma and give the next location....then the file will be picked up from the locations you gave....
    Hope this helps...
