SWF loaded form External Domain

'd like to know if it's possible to use actionscript to
prevent a SWF from being loaded from another domain.
i.e: I host my_clip.swf at mydomain.com and someone loads my
SWF from externaldomain.com via :
<param name="movie" value="
http://www.mydomain.com/flash/my_clip.swf"
/>
I'm meaning accesing SWF files from outter domains, (this is
not about loading data or vars)
Thanks in advance.

hi cbeech,
ya i just read abt it on the loadvars. But not really sure
how to proceed as the guestbook is dwnloaded from web.
I will try to remove all the _root and use relative path.
Let me explain again. PHP file and HTML and SWF.
guestbook.swf will call guestbook.php and write to
entries.html using loadvariablenum()
for all variables that assist in writing to entries.html,
they have _root in it. the code to write to the file is on a button
on release method.
guestbook.swf will call guestbook.php and read from
entrie.html using loadvariablenum()
for all variables that assist in reading from the html file,
they have no _root in it and is in a layer named action with no
symbols in that frame.
Weird thing is that writing to the html has no issue. I can
see that the guestbook is loaded in my main, i fill in and click on
the post button which will writes to the html file, and the
guestbook should resume to showing the entries which at this point
of time will read the entries.html file. I found out writing has no
issue when i open the entries.html file and it reflect the latest
entry that i just submitted. but when reading the file, the
guestbook is not able to do so.
when running alone as guestbook itself, it can show the
entries and performed as per normal.
So based on above situation, i would deem that the variables
without the _root that assist in reading the file, is having
problems. so i tried adding _root to them and it won't work.
I will try to remove the rest of the _root and see how it
goes.
Thanks cbeech.

  • Dynamic font loading form diffent domain The value specified for argument font is invalid

    Hi
    I am trying to dyanmiclly load domain from external swf

  • Cross-domain SWF loading doesn't work

    I've been trying to get cross-domain SWF loading to work for
    a while now, but even though it works from the Flash IDE the loaded
    SWF is blank when I upload it to a webserver somewhere. And yes,
    both servers have a crossdomain.xml file in their root folder, and
    I've also used System.security.allowDomain("*"). I've published
    both using the 'using network' option in the publish dialog.
    Could someone please help me with this, as I can't seem to
    find why it isn't loading. I've also read the entire PDF about
    Flash 9 security, but I couldn't find anything about external SWF
    loading except for the crossdomain files.

    A little more color on this: If there are 2 or more messages in the active mailbox (and others in a different mailbox), the expand/collapse function works for the messages in the active mailbox. In the message column on the right, all the messages in the conversation are shown (both mailboxes). Only those messages in the active box are shown in the list column when the conversation is expanded. I can kind of see how this might be intentional, but it's strange to see lots of messages in the conversation in the right column, but only one or a few corresponding items in the messge list.

  • What is or isn't possible on iOS?  (Not having Loader, loadBytes(), external swfs, etc)

    My basic question is:  "What are the classes which we should not use for iOS using the packager."
    I have been trying for a few days trying to get a simple Flash app to run on the iPad.  A very simple app (with sound!) with just 2 classes works fine (Performance is a whole other issue.  We will get to that).  But if I try anything else, all I get is a white/black screen on the iPad.  So it would be really nice to know what classes, functions, etc we CANNOT use for the Packager.
    I have fairly simple app (not as simple as 2 classes) which loads some art assets via URLRequest/Loader, puts them on the stage.  Fairly common standard practice in AS3.
    I've read about not able to load an external file using the Packager.  So to fix the situation of loading assets, I have looked into the [embed] tag, which seems to work.  I hope the blogger doesn't mind, but this page is an excellent source on what works and doesn't work with the [embed] tag in it's various flavors:  http://www.richardleggett.co.uk/blog/index.php/2010/03/08/flash_builder_and_flash_pro_asse t_workflows.  For example, AS3 in a swf is stripped out from an external swf using [embed].
    The best way to load an external swf file for iOS seems to be using [embed] with "application/octet-stream" and load the swf through ByteArray (Option #4 in the link above).  This works great on the PC.  HOWEVER, on iPad, it fails.  The [embed] tag works on the iPad with the other ways, so my guess is that loadBytes() does not work.  Is this true Adobe/Flash guys?  Can you confirm this?
    My initial question is "why is this not allowed on iOS?".  If it is because of the fact that it uses a Loader, can it be changed so it's not using a Loader to construct a MovieClip?  I have a ByteArray with the raw swf/MovieClip data.  Why can't I construct a MovieClip from it without going through Loader?
    This loadBytes() failure seems to be the only thing preventing me from using the normal pipeline of Flash development in loading external assets.  If there are other ways people have found, please share!
    Now on to performance.  Adobe, can you post some examples/samples of code which runs at decent performance?  Like a "tech demo" of what is possible using the Packager running on iPad/iPhone.  That would be extremely helpful for everyone.  I have done a lot of the optimizing suggestions on various sites and pages ( and by Adobe http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/optimize_content_ios.html), but I am not seeing the 30 fps performance that is MORE than possible on iPhone/iPad.  Displaying and moving around Bitmaps (I don't use any vector graphics) should be blazing fast.  Quake runs on iPad without any problems and that code is 10 years old.  Moore's law dictates that drawing Bitmaps using CPU should be faster than a 3D engine written 10 years ago...  I am trying out the new iOS 4.2 which is supposed to be "significantly" better, but I am still stuck on loadBytes().
    So at this point, I am blocked on loadBytes() and my performance for a simple app which draws a few Bitmaps and MovieClips is terrible.  I am hopeful some people out there have figured out some solution (there are lots of clever people out there) and I will stumble on to something.  But being forced to go native Objective-C seems to be my only option at this point.
    In summary, here are the questions I would like to ask the Adobe/Flash group for some more help/information/advise:
    - Why is Loader not allowed on iOS?  Is it a technical limitation of the hardware/os/Flash?  Will it never be supported?  What is the future of this class on iOS?
    - Why is loadBytes() not allowed on iOS?  I have the raw embedded data in memory.  I don't need to make a remote call so security should not be an issue.  Can I create a MovieClip without using Loader?
    - Why is AS3 stripped from the timeline when a Symbol is retrieved using [embed]?  Maybe this is the same reason loadBytes() fails, but if I could use [embed] and get a copy of the Symbol, that is what I need.  (There are issues with the mx.core.MovieClipLoaderAsset/Asset, but it is better than being blocked by loadBytes())
    - What are some apps you guys have written that we can use to compare PC vs iOS?  Again, a "tech demo" or sample code of what you as experts in Packager for iOS have done which runs at decent framerate (30+fps) would be of tremendous help.  If the Adobe/Flash group hasn't gotten the current Packager for iOS to handle more than 50+ 2D Bitmaps on screen running at 30+fps, that would be good to know.  Please let us know what the experts and owners of your software are capable of getting the most throughput using the Packager.  I'd hate to sound a bit fed up/angry, but I think you are wasting a lot of people's time and energy with a piece of software that, to me, seems like it was a bit early to release.  Flash can do some great things.  If it can do it on iOS, even better.  But PROVE it to us that it's possible, before having your customers run into barriers imposed on us by trial and error.
    Thanks.

    I have hardly ever seen a post here from someone at Adobe, so you may need to be patient.
    Read this article, and get its associated demo files, to see some good performing tech demos:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/optimize_content_ios.html
    Back to your main point, loaders are working, what isn't working for you is accessing of things in the library of a successfully loaded swf, that have been set to Export for ActionScript. That means that the swf you have loaded has an ActionScript Class, to represent the library symbol. iOS Flash apps are native ARM code, and don't include the virtual machines that a browser plugin has, and so it's not able to interpret ActionScript. That may be why it would fail.
    Now, I can think of at least a couple of reasons why you might want to have external swfs with elements that you want to reuse in the main swf. One would be if you're intending to make a lot of them, like say if you wanted to have an Asteroids game and the ability to use artwork from a set of different swfs. Another reason might be if you want to skin your interface, by taking specific elements from the loaded swf and using them in the main swf. That way you could have artists preparing those swfs for you, and you just include them in your package, and load the one you want.
    There is a way to do either of those things. The second one can be done by having the item as a named symbol on the stage of the loaded swf. With a to-be-loaded swf named "inner.swf", that has a movieclip on its stage named "mc1", this script in the main swf would load that external swf and use its symbol on the main swf's stage, without having to make the inner swf's symbol use ActionScript:
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("inner.swf");
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loaded);
    ldr.load(req);
    function loaded(e:Event) {
    var mc:MovieClip = e.target.content as MovieClip;
    var innermc:* = mc.mc1;
    innermc.x = 50;
    innermc.y = 50;
    addChild(innermc);
    For the other case, you can take the item off the stage of the loaded swf and draw it into a bitmapdata, and then make as many bitmaps from that as you like. Here's the above example, only it adds the original movieclip to the main swf stage, and also creates a bitmap that looks the same:
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("inner.swf");
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loaded);
    ldr.load(req);
    function loaded(e:Event) {
    var mc:MovieClip = e.target.content as MovieClip;
    var innermc:* = mc.mc1;
    innermc.x = 50;
    innermc.y = 50;
    addChild(innermc);
    var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(innermc.width,innermc.height);
    bmd.draw(innermc);
    var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd);
    bm.x = 150;
    bm.y = 150;
    addChild(bm);
    So, the thing to learn is that a native ARM code application does not have an ActionScript interpreter in it, and if you need to do something that normally requires interpreting ActionScript, find another way to do it.

  • How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's inside other movie clip?

    Hi.
    I creating my first flash (actionscript 3.0) website but I'm
    stuck with a visual effect I want to create.
    I have a window on my website called contentWindow. Every
    time you click a button this window is supposed to leave the stage,
    load the requested content and return to the stage.
    The sliding window is a movie clip with 83 frames, 21 to
    enter the stage, 21 to leave the stage again, 20 for nothing (its
    just to simulate the loading time) and 21 to return to the stage.
    Now my goal is, when the user clicks on a navigation button,
    the window exits the stage, loads an external SWF with the content,
    and then returns to the stage.
    I've the "window" movie clip with an instance name of
    "contentWindow". Inside there is another movie clip with an
    instance name of "contentLoader". The content that the user
    requested should appear inside the "contentLoader".
    Now, when the contentWindow leaves the stage, I get this
    error message:
    quote:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
    a null object reference.
    at rwd_fla::MainTimeline/trigger()
    If I switch
    "contentWindow.contentLoader.addChild(navLoader);" for
    "contentWindow.addChild(navLoader);" it works fine, but the
    external SWF doesn't move with the window.
    How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's
    inside other movie clip?

    Hi,
    Recently, I have been putting together a flash presentation.
    And I am just wondering if the following might help you, in your
    communication with the said swf file:
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    onComplete);
    function onComplete(event:Event):void
    event.target.content.thinggy_mc.y -= 100;
    Not the best example, but this allows you to target a mc
    within an external swf file. I think if you look up this code, you
    will have an answer ;)
    Kind Regards,
    Boxing Boom

  • How do I load an external swf at a frame after ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame?

    Hi, I'm quite new in working with AS3.
    I am designing a site with a menupage with buttons.
    Some of these buttons are linked to a frame that contains an external swf, which is a portfolio.
    By pressing the buttons 'AQUAREL" and "OLIEVERF" you will go to another frame and the swf-portfolio shows up.
    Now the problem is: sometimes it seems to work, sometimes it doesn't.
    You can check out yourself at www.erwinvanzijl.nl
    Is there a better whay of programming these functions?
    Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way to do it?
    This is the actionscript that I put on the second frame where the swf is to show up:
    stop();
    var Xpos_2:Number = 52;
    var Ypos_2:Number = 59;
    var swf_2:MovieClip;
    var loader_2:Loader = new Loader();
    var SWF_2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("aquaportfolio.swf");
    loader.load(SWF_2);
    loader.x = Xpos;
    loader.y = Ypos;

    btn_menu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadcontent_2);
    function unloadcontent_2(event:MouseEvent):void {
    removeChild(loader);
    gotoAndStop("menu");

    For the unloading it is a simple matter of...
    function unloadcontent_2(event:MouseEvent):void {
       loader.unload();
       removeChild(loader);
       gotoAndStop("menu");
    Follow what Dave has to say... he's far more experienced than I.  I was too hung up wondering what swf2 was all about to ntoice there were two loaders involved in the code.

  • Loading external SWF's into an SWF Loader as3 style?

    Hi,
    I've recently made the switch from as2 to as3 and am still struggling to get my head around one aspect in particular. I've managed to load one external swf into a blank file via the script
    import LoadDisplayObject;
    var loader:LoadDisplayObject = new LoadDisplayObject("button_01.swf", true);
    loader.addEventListener("displayObjectLoaded", onComplete, false, 0, true);
    addChild(loader);
    function onComplete(evt:Event):void {
         trace("loaded complete received");
         loader.scaleX = loader.scaleY = .75;
    .....however I'm struggling with the script to make a swfs load into a space when one of my 3 buttons is clicked....
    My page currently has three buttons (button_01, button_02 and button_03) and in a local folder three separate swfs with the same names which I wish to load in, when the appropriate button is pressed. 
    I have managed to get them to load in using a tutorial...however they load over the top of each over...far from ideal. From research on the internet I've found a range of different script...but I just can’t find anywhere I can find script to make this work..hence why I have turned to here.
    Any help much appreciated...thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Just throught I would let you know that I've manged to get this to work this morning. Changed the script slightly and used a different method of:
    var home:MovieClip = this;
    function butt1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
        var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
        ldr.load(new URLRequest("button_01.swf"));
        ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
    function butt2Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
        var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
        ldr.load(new URLRequest("button_02.swf"));
        ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
    function butt3Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
        var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
        ldr.load(new URLRequest("button_03.swf"));
        ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
    function loaded(evt: Event):void {

            contentClip.removeChildAt(0);
        contentClip.addChild(evt.target.content);

    button_02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, butt2Click);
    button_03.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, butt3Click);
    seems to work well. Only small question is if I want one page to load automatically upon opening...how do I alter the script to do this??? Thanks

  • Need help loading an external SWF

    I'm not very proficient in Flash, so any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to load an external SWF with the following code:
    T1_Bttn_BloodCar.onRelease = function() {
    t1_images_mc.loadMovie("images/T1_Gallery/BloodCar_SWF/T1_BloodCar.swf");
    t1_images_mc._alpha = 0;
    It loads the SWF, but doesn't play it correctly when I test it. Here's how the loaded movie is supposed to look:
    http://www.theroboteye.com/T1_BloodCar.html
    But instead, it plays without the transitions, like this:
    http://www.theroboteye.com/TRE2009b.html
    I've been trying to figure this out for a few days and have tried adding "this._lockroot = true;" to the SWF I'm trying to load, but I can't get it to play correctly. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

    Try using the MovieClipLoader class (loadClip method) instead of the loadMovie method.  That way you can have a listener that waits for the movie to be loaded and then pull it into play, assigning actions and properties to it after the fact.

  • 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.

  • LoadMovie- loading an external swf into movieclip in AS3

    Im extremely frustrated.........im trying to do something
    that was once very simple, which has now become over complicated
    unecessecarily.....i want to do a simple loadMovie type action and
    load an external clip into a movieclip called ph. my AS2 code would

    This no longer works. Can somebody tell me the new code that
    i would use with AS3 to do exactly what i just demonstrated? I
    honestly dont even want to touch AS3. The only reason i want to use
    it is because it makes skinning the components SOOOOOO much easier
    than AS2. That is the one and only reason im trying to convert to
    AS3. All the new load movie AS3 examples ive seen on google look
    like half a page long to do what i used to do in 2 lines. There
    must be a simpler and much easier way. I am a designer. It looks to
    me like Adobe went back to making flash for programmers only again
    leaving us designers out of the mix. Someone please help me, im
    desperate. I also have other old code that im sure im going to have
    to convert to AS3 for it to still work, and i may eventually need
    help with that as well, but ill stick with this loadMovie problem
    for now. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks

    have a look here:

    use this:
    var i =new Loader();
    i.load(new URLRequest(”yourSwf.swf”));
    myMC.addChild(i)
    myMC is the name of your clip on the stage.

  • Loading an external swf and unloading the parent one

    Hi there i have made a navigation in flash and 3 buttons that load some external swf's. Problem is that when they load the parent swf keeps playing in the background. How can i make them play separately and make the navigation stage dissapear completely when they load?

    I have attempted to use the same Loader but it doesnt replace it i dont know why.
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();       
    var myLoaderMain:URLRequest = new URLRequest("main1.swf");
    var myLoaderQuiz:URLRequest = new URLRequest("quiz.swf");
    var myLoaderAnimation:URLRequest = new URLRequest("athens_animation.swf");
    var myLoaderVideo:URLRequest = new URLRequest("videogallery.swf");
    videogallerybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, videoFunc);
    function videoFunc(curEvt:MouseEvent) {
              myLoader.load(myLoaderVideo);
              addChild(myLoader);
    Quizbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, quizFunc);
    function quizFunc(curEvt:MouseEvent) {
              myLoader.load(myLoaderQuiz);
              addChild(myLoader);
    Animationbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, AnimationFunc);
    function AnimationFunc(curEvt:MouseEvent) {
              myLoader.load(myLoaderAnimation);
              addChild(myLoader);

  • Loading an external swf with a loader

    I have a .swf that loads different external swf's into
    loaders based on what frame it is in. For all but one frame this
    works fine. There's no lag, they load quickly and can be interacted
    with with no problem. But, for one .swf it gets really choppy. The
    swf itself runs fine but once it is loaded into another swf through
    the loader the performance really goes down the drain. I guess I am
    wondering if anyone has any suggestions or perhaps different
    methods I should try. Thanks in advance.

    It isn't creating it on the fly.
    Insert a new symbol and give it the instance name
    placeholder_mc. Drag that onto your timeline and scale it so that
    it is the exact same size as your external swf. Then just align the
    empty movie clip on the stage where you want to align the external
    swf.
    loadMovie("external.swf",_root.placeholder_mc);
    This just tells it "Okay, take this external flash file, and
    stick it INTO that empty movieclip"

  • Loading an external SWF from an external SWF

    Hello,
    I'm somewhat caught between a rock and a hard spot on a flash
    site project. Here is the situation:
    I have created a parent movie (which loads all external SWFs
    inside of it) that has the menu navigation built into it. However,
    my client wants me to place some more links inside of the external
    SWFs that lead to other pages (external SWFs) of the site. Is this
    at all possible? I was hoping there is a way to tell a button in an
    external SWF to make the parent movie switch between external SWFs.
    Any and ALL help is very much appreciated. Thank you.
    Another question: does this involve using the _parent script?
    Elijah

    Hello,
    Thank you for replying. Here is exactly what I'm needing to
    do:
    We will call the parent file "index.swf". Inside "index.swf"
    I have a "holder" for external swf files to load into when I call
    on them from the main menu buttons on "index.swf". When a customer
    comes to the site, the "index.swf" file initially loads
    "welcome.swf". Inside of "welcome.swf", I have some images that I
    want to make into links to other external swf files.
    My problem is when someone clicks on one of those pictures I
    want the "index.swf" file to open up the corresponding external swf
    file in its "holder", where "welcome.swf" currently resides. Also,
    all of these swf files ("index.swf" included) have stand-alone FLA
    files, none are attached to one another. I have never worked with
    "levels" before, would that be necessary in this case? I have
    attached the code for the external swf loader.
    I hope that gives you a better idea of what I'm trying to
    accomplish.
    Thanks again.
