Swf within a Swf scoring issue

I've created a flash file (my project) that is loaded into another swf (our player) file on our site. When I test the project file on my computer the scoring displays correct at the end of the lab. When it is loaded into our swf player on the site the score doesn't display. I'm at a lose for why this is happening. If someone could provide me with some direction I would be very thankful.
// Declare variable
var numOfCorrect:int = 0;
// Every time someone click the correct selection it adds one to the score
function correct(e:MouseEvent):void{
numOfCorrect++;
//I have a text box with the name yourScore
yourScore.text = numOfCorrect + " out of 5";
It is very basic code so I have no idea what is isn't working. My only guess is there is some kind of conflict once it is loaded into an external swf. What would I do in this case? Thanks.

I seemed to have figured it out. I changed the text box from TLF Text to Classic Text and selected Dynamic Text. Also changed the Actionscript up a little.
instead of just:
yourScore.text = numOfCorrect + " out of 5");
i did:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, displayFinalScore);
function displayFinalScore(event:Event){
yourScore.text = String(numOfCorrect + " out of 5");
Not sure which of these things fixed the issue but it is working now. Thanks for the help though! Now I just need to figure out the issue with the drag and drop.

Using AS 3.0 to create a popup .swf within an .swf

Hi,
I need to have an .swf running for a game. Within this .swf there will be a "Help" button, which, when clicked, needs to create a new popup window from a different .swf file. The second .swf file must appear in a new window, in a separate popup, and not replace anything in the first .swf window.
I want to know how to do this in ActionScript 3.0. I don't need help with the button click event, but I do need help on how to make the popup appear. Any advice?
Thanks.

use
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("yourswf.swf"));

A swf within a swf

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me with this...
I would like to embed a swf (call it swf 1) within my captivate 5.5 project (swf 2), but the catch is that swf 1 is interactive. More specifically there are pause points within the course where learners need to play around with roll-overs or other features before clicking a button to resume. There are a number of swfs going into swf 2, but I thought it best to focus on one for now.
The idea is to publish the main project (swf 2) with a skin and TOC and to be able to control progress all progress, including the progress within swf 1, using the playbar from swf 2 - i.e. if I click on the playbar at a certain point, it should take me to that point even if it is half way through swf 1.
I know how to add an animation to a slide and synchronise it with the project so that I can get that kind of playbar functionality. However, this only works if swf 1 plays from end to end without any interactivity. It doesn't seem to work when swf 1 pauses in the middle (in fact swf 1 barely even starts, before it vanishes again, leaving me watching the background of the slide that it was on). Alternatively, if I don't synchronise it, then the main project will continue on to the next slide regardless of whether swf 2 has finished or not.
So, the question is, how can I insert an interactive swf into the main project, synchronise it and retain the interactivity? Any helpful, not too technical suggestions?
Thanks.

You won't be able to achieve this in Captivate without having advanced ActionScript 3 coding skills.
You are better advised to find another way of delivering the effect you want that does NOT involve nested SWFs.

Inserting swf within a swf

I am creating a Captivate project, basically, as a shell with
5 slides. Within each slide, I would like to insert swfs that I
have previously published. As a result, each of the 5 slides will
play while the embedded/inserted swf plays within. Have you ever
tried to do this? It seems to work only if I don't include a
skin--but I would like to include a skin on each of the swfs that I
have inserted.
Any ideas? Thank you.

the previously saved Cap3 version of the project. Thanks!
You could copy/paste the slides from CP4 to CP3 - we just did
that with a project. It doesn't retain all the slides settings (I
think the buttons / goto slide etc) needed to be configured again,
but it still beats having to redo the project from scratch in CP3

Sorry no I haven't tried this with swf's with skin. I just
saw that your original question actually stated that, but I missed
that part. I would imagine that a skin with a second playbar could
mess things up in Captivate.
If you have Flash skills an idea could be to make a simple
"loader shell" which loads the animation you wish to import. That
way the levels of the two playbars would be seperated even more and
perhaps it would work.

Swf within a swf

So I've been nesting a lot of MCs within each other.
What I want to do is have a basic "image gallery," so to speak, that links to about 6 other SWFs I already have made. For the life of me I cannot think of how to do this properly.
The main thing is the button and the goto function. Is that even the right function?
Hopefully someone understands. This is time sensitive. Thanks.

I don't know if it matters, but I would avoid capitalizing Event in... Event:MouseEvent
because Event is a class just like MouseEvent
I get the impression you are using the UILoader component--fair warning, I tend to avoid using components, so I can only reference the help files to try tio help. If you mean that code is not working for you, then I think you have to use the load method to actually load what you identify as the source.
var swf:Array = new Array("flash1.swf", "flash2.swf", "flash3.swf")
obama_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, obama);
function obama(Event:MouseEvent):void
media_mc.source = swf[0];
media_mc.load();
You may be able to replace those two lines in the function with...
media_mc.load(new URLRequest(swf[0]));

Open a swf within a swf

Hi.
A long standing client has requested that I create a fully
flash website to replace the site I created for them a few years
ago. I naively agreed, with quite a limited flash knowledge.
I can create the site as one flat file, but the initial
preloader would be loading the entire site which would take ages.
So I thought that if I have each section of the site on its own swf
file, I could open each one from within the initial flash site.
This means it would be loaded as an external entity if you like,
and the initial preloader would not load it which is the desired
result. Am I right? How do I do it? please say if i've lost you
with the above!!

all you want is the loadMovie command - search the help docs,
this forum, or google - it's been used
for so long - oh and these tutorials:

External swf within external swf?

Hello..
I'm currently playing with a music player template that loads
the songs as external swf files.
Is it now possible to load this music player as an external
swf into my main flash website? So far I've managed to get it
loading in the right place, but then the songs don't play. :( If
there's anything crucial I need to know, please enlighten me, or I
can stick some code up here if it's perhaps not so obvious.
Cheers
x

Hey!
If you can play the song from the music player independently
but not while the music player is external: I'm going to go ahead
and say you're hitting a security issue.
I'm going to do some research then I'll post back here.
Thanks,
John

Print button - captivate swf within falsh swf

Hi I have a nice problem and I hope someone might have an
answer for me.
I am making an interactive tool book. The design,
backgrounds, button etc are all in flash. I have also done a quiz
in captivate which has a bank of 50 questions but only 20 random
ones appear each time you do the quiz.
As you cannot import a random quiz captivate file into flash
I have made a movie clip titled container that the captivate quiz
swf. file loads into. This all works without a problem. However I
have to make a print button also in flash so the user can print
their result page (the result page is apart of the captivate file).
I have tried every print Action script I can think of;
however, none of them print the results. The page prints with all
the flash created objects (background, buttons etc) but it will not
print the end results page that appears in the movie clip titled:
container, which is located in the middle of the flash stage.
Although if I click print in the flash player file menu it
does......
Can anyone help me or have I confused you all??
From Sez

Markus,
I use "this." in the Actionscript, but I don't think that's the problem. In the attached file you'll see my problem.

Putting a swf within a swf

A friend of mine told me that I can take and create a swf
file and then pull it onto another swf file (ex: creating a swf for
the buttons and then the pages) he said that I needed to use action
script and to create a container for the other swf to load into? I
can't get a hold of him and was wondering if anyone could provide
some help.

Possible to make embedded swf (in another swf) fill browser?

I have an .swf which is set at 100x100 percent and fills the
browser window. I have an embedded .swf within this .swf, and I
would like to be able to have the embedded .swf fill the browser
window and remain fluid (for different screen resolutions). This
has to be done from the embedded .swf.
I thought if I could retrieve the stage details of the parent
.swf from within the embedded .swf, then I could use these to
resize the embedded .swf - but I haven't been able to do this.
I'm plum out of ideas. Can anybody give me any pointers?
Many thanks.

I may have my terminology mixed up. I have a pre-compiled
.swf that allows embedding of .swf's from a seperate .xml file via
a LocalConnection API.

Saving/Printing work from within a .swf file

Okay so here's the deal. I have to create a flash game in
which users will be creating artwork. When users are done with
their artwork we want them to be able to SAVE their work, EMAIL it
to a friend, and PRINT it out all within the .swf file.
HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU DO THIS?????? I have been searching a
researching and going through many forums and tutorials trying to
see if anyone out there can help but I have come up with nothing.
Although I did come a across a website that was able to achieve
what we are looking to do in this flash game.
Click here to view
Snowflake Website
On this website users can make snowflake art the old fashion
way but this time on the web within a flash site. When users are
satisfied with their snowflake they can save it and the snowflake
is added to an ever growing database of user created snowflakes
that also can be viewed by others at anytime. Users are also given
the option of emailing their snowflake design to friends and
downloading their design as a JPEG or and EPS file. You can also do
the same to any of other numerous snowflake designs with the
snowflake design database.
HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU DO THIS??? I have contacted the
agency that was responsible for creating this site for their help
as well but any assistance I can get from you guys would be greatly
appreciated as well.
Still quite confused but eagerly awaiting your
responses.

Printing object:
on (release) {
//creates the object of the class printjob
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
//starts the procedure
//opens the windows printing window
pj.start();
//sets the printing area (i may be made outside the stage,
so using the A4 area and adding any other information that should
not appear on screen)
area = {xMin:0, yMin:28, xMax:465, yMax:296};
//printing options - true=bitmap / false-=vetor... bitmap
generates a bigger file, but results in better quality for images,
vector is smaller and a good option if you work just with text
options = {printAsBitmap:true};
//adds the page the the printing queue
pj.addPage(_root, area, options, null);
//sends the page to the printer
pj.send();
//deletes the object to clear memory (very important)
delete pj;

Embedd a database within a SWF?

Hi -
I'm wondering if the following can be done with Flash -
- can a swf contain it's own database that the user can add,
delete, read?
- while the view is online, entering and interacting with the
data- is it being sent back and forth to the server?
- can this database be protected with some sort of encryption
that is only unlocked by the user's code?
- and so that if the user emailed the swf or the db file from
within the swf, only a person with the key could access the data?
Can it be done?
Can someone point me to how to these features might be
possible with Flash?
TIA your input,
jl

Hi,
1.- SWF files cannot contain their own databases but they can
access several server side scripts to mantain/modify a server side
database.
2.- Yes the interaction with the database occurs without the
user having to take notice.
3.- You can use any type of session protection wih
authentication to protect your data.
4.- SWF are like HTML or plain text (anyone can find a way to
read it) so I'd recomend using server side authentication rather
than relying on swf key protection.
Cheers,
Gorka

Creating an SWF to play within an SWF

Basically I need to be able to play an SWF file within an SWF
project. The project contains a layout of different navigational
buttons. I wish for one of the buttons to go to a frame containing
an older SWF project I created.
Please help if you can.

Even if the SWF played directly on the timeline it would
still be ok. As long as you were able to alter it's X and Y
positions. ( I really don't care too much about playing AS2 SWF's
eather. I'm more concerned about AS3. Out with the old and in with
the new)
