The loaded external.swf don't appears on two client connected in VideoCommunication...

Hi, everybody...
I have to realize a videocommunication, whit Apache web server and FMS 3. This's ok...
I have a button that load an external .swf but, when the 2 client are into communication, when I push the button, the external .swf starts only on the local client and not on the other client.
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this!  I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did.  Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double  check!  All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

  • Bring loaded external swf to the front

    Hi,
    I am now implementing to create a website using side scrolling platform game approach. Since the player/actor (character that moves according to keyborad events) should always be at the top layer, I am having difficulties to get my loaded swf on top of the player. I am currently using Flash cs6 (as3).
    Basically, in my main stage, there are 3 layers. 1 for actionscript, the scond one for player and lastly for background.
    Layer player contains player mc and background mc.
    Background mc contains visual and collisions layers.
    Anything that got to do with visual, i have to put it in visual layer.
    In visual layer i have backgroundcontainer mc
    So, as i put the button in the backgroundcontainer mc to call the external swf, the loaded external swf appears in the container.
    (I am using load/unload snippet code to call the external swf)
    I want the external swf to appear on top of the player.
    for (var fl_ChildIndex_2:int = 0;
            fl_ChildIndex_2 < this.numChildren;
            fl_ChildIndex_2++)
        this.getChildAt(fl_ChildIndex_2).addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToBringToFront_2);
    function fl_ClickToBringToFront_2(event:MouseEvent):void
        this.addChild(event.currentTarget as DisplayObject);
    Any help would greatly appreciated 

    If you want an object to move atop all others you can just use addChild(thatobject), where thatobject is the item you want to move atop anything else.  I don't know what object(s) your loop is attempting to act on, but it appears to be trying to change the index of all child objects rather than just one.

  • HELP PLEASE - loading external swf scale problem

    I have a Flex 3 Actionscript Project. Basically all it does it take some flash vars, set the sound volume,  and load an external swf using a loader and add the loader as a child. The problem is I want the loaded external swf to be scaled to fill the entire stage, even if it distorts it, and that doesn't seem to be happening.
    I really need to resolve this. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.
    Marcus

    Thanks for the reply!
    Here's basically what my code looks like (note: I cut some stuff out that wasn't relevant for the sake of clarity).
    private var swfLoader:Loader = null;
    public function MySwfContainer()  
        stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
        stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfUrl);
        swfLoader = new Loader();
        swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,SWFLoader_Complete);
        swfLoader.load(request);       
    private function SWFLoader_Complete(event:Event):void
        addChild(swfLoader);
    What I am observing is that if a swf larger than the stage area is loaded it clips it rather than scale it down and make it fit.

  • Loading External SWF and setting variables

    Hello Everyone.
    I'm sure you are all a where of the FlashVars attribute for
    Flash embeds which holds variables for SWF's when they are
    rendered. I'm attempting to load an External SWF dynamically
    from within my own SWF and need to provide it with the values
    normally stored in the FlashVars. For the example below I
    wait until the External SWF is completely loaded using the
    onLoadInit event from moviecliploader and then i attempt to
    set the required variables that the loaded SWF needs. This works
    great in test and debug mode (ie. Test Movie and Debug Movie
    from the Control menu), but when i publish my FLA to SWF and run
    the SWF the variables will NOT get set in the loaded External SWF.
    From my readings ive people have mentioned that the player is only
    able to access Methods of an External SWF. If this is the case then
    how do they expect people to set the FlashVars of dynamically
    loaded SWFs? I investigated the loadVariables procedure as well and
    had the same results in test mode and was wasn't reliable because
    of timing issues.
    The sample source is below... if anyone has any ideas or has
    come across this issue before, I would really appreciate some
    insight.
    Thank you in advance for your time.
    var loader_mc:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    var mclListener:Object = new Object();
    loader_mc.addListener(mclListener);
    mclListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip,
    numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number) {
    // DO NOTHING
    mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
    // DO NOTHING
    mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
    // WORKS IN TEST MODE NOT IN PUBLISH/SWF MODE
    target_mc._root.param1 = "value1";
    // WORKS IN TEST MODE NOT IN PUBLISH/SWF MODE
    _level0.container_mc.param1 = "value1";
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",
    this.getNextHighestDepth());
    container_mc._lockroot = true;
    loader_mc.loadClip("somecoolflash.swf", container_mc);

    I've tried that as well and it behaves the same as onLoadInit
    ... Works when i test but doesnt when i publish to a swf. I think
    this is security related and the flash player just cant write to a
    loaded swf and set variables.

  • Unloading a loaded external SWF with a close button on the external SWF to unload

    I have found some discussion on this topic but I am still having trouble getting it to work and was hoping to get some help here.
    Here I have a file: http://www.dril-quip.com/test/main.swf
    I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)
    If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent.
    So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.
    below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
    var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
    function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{
    var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf");
    bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest);
    stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
    I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
    Main FLA:
    function removeF() {
    removeChild(bigboreLoader);
    var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
    function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{
    var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf");
    bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest);
    stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
    EXTERNAL FLA:
    btnClose2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, bigborecontent);
    function bigborecontent(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(parent.parent).removeF();
    I think I have a misunderstanding of the code. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

    This was the original code I got:
    Main FLA: (on AS layer inside DropDownButton Movie Object)
    function removeF() {
    removeChild(myLoader);
    var myLoader:Loader=new Loader ();
    page1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, page1content);
    function page1content(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
    var myURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("page1.swf");
    myLoader.load(myURL);
    addChild(myLoader);
    EXTERNAL FLA: (on main time line of this file)
    close_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeMC);
    function closeMC(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
    MovieClip(parent.parent).removeF();
    Main.FLA
    myLoader=bigboreLoader (my new loader)
    page1_mc=btnbb2 (the button who event will call external swf)
    page1content = bigborecontent (name given to SWF being loaded???)
    myURL=bigboreRequest (my new URLrequest for bigbore)
    page1.swf=moduletemplate.swf (actual address of what I am loading)
    External.FLA
    close_mc=button that will close external swf
    closeMC=movie clip to close?

  • Loaded external swf vs CPU usage

    Halo.   I use the following code in order to load external "inde_2.swf" into "index.swf":    (for Flash Player 9.0)
    stop();
    var myMovie:Sprite;
    var l:Loader = new Loader();
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop, false, 0, true);
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done, false, 0, true);
    l.load(new URLRequest("index.swf"));
    function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
      var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
      loader.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
    function done(e:Event):void
      removeChildAt(0) // was removeChildAt(0) but it make more sense this way
      loader.percent = null;
      myMovie = Sprite(l.content);
      addChild(myMovie);
      var container:MovieClip = MovieClip(l.content);
       addChild(container);
       container.gotoAndStop(890);
      l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener( ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
      l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
      l = null;
    But unfortunately if "index.swf" is a complex file (with many objects etc.) , the loaded "index_2.swf" will play very slow (high CPU usage).
    Is there any trick to unload "index.swf" so that "index_2" can play properly?

    if index_2.swf is a resource hog, there's nothing you can do in index.swf to fix that.  on the other hand, you should clean up your index.swf code:
    var l:Loader = new Loader();
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop, false, 0, true);
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done, false, 0, true);
    l.load(new URLRequest("index.swf"));
    function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
      var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
      loader.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
    function done(e:Event):void
      removeChildAt(0) // <-not sure this makes sense.  what are you removing?
      loader.percent = null;
      var container:MovieClip = MovieClip(l.content);
       addChild(container);
       container.gotoAndStop(890);
      l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener( ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
      l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
      l = null;

  • Loading from library conflicts with loading external swf

    I'm very new to ActionScript, so this might be incredibly basic. However, I've Googled and read myself into a coma and I'm not finding a solution.
    I have a movie with 6 navigation buttons.  Four of them load external .swf slideshows, and they work fine - as each file loads, the previous one clears the stage, etc.  The other button that I currently have set up is loading, from the library, an image.  The problem I'm having is that the slideshows replace each other on the stage - they're not stacking, they're replacing - but when the user selects the button that loads the image, the image overlays the last-selected slideshow.  If the user selects the image first, the image is visible when two of the external files transition.  Because of that 6th button, which is not yet even started, it's not desirable to me to simply set up the single image as another external file; if it's at all possible, I need to be able to pull from a library file when I build that last button.
    What I'd like to do - because there is no logical order that the buttons should be selected in - is figure out how to tell every button to remove the image file on click.  I've tried using this in the four buttons that link to the slideshows, to deal with the image (that's the one called quoteImage):
         if(myLoader != null && contains(quoteImage)){
            myLoader.removeChild(quoteImage);
    which has the advantage of not giving me any errors, but doesn't actually fix my problem.  I've tried many, many other things, and I'm just really stumped on what exactly I need to do to make this work the way I want it to.  Based on the fact that the books and online resources I've been using don't really cover this specific example, I suspect it might be an incredibly idiot thing to do, but I'd really like it to work this way if that's possible.
    The code as it stands, with the global variables and the first two buttons (the next three are identical to the second button and the sixth button doesn't exist) looks like this:
    var myLoader:Loader=new Loader(); 
    var quoteImage:Bitmap;
    stop();
    // Loads quoteImage from library
    btnQuotes.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showquote);
    function showquote(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var myBitmapDataObject:myBitmapData = new myBitmapData(500, 350);
    var quoteImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapDataObject);
    quoteImage.x=150;
    quoteImage.y=180;
    addChild(quoteImage);
    // Loads industrial.swf from external file
    btnIndustrial.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showindustrialcontent);
    function showindustrialcontent(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var myURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("industrial.swf");
    myLoader.x=150;
    myLoader.y=180;
    myLoader.load(myURL);
    addChild(myLoader);
    Help is very much appreciated.

    I see now how to import and display a library class object
    using:
    var MovieClipClass:Class =
    Class(loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("myLibraryAsset"))
    var movieClip:Sprite = new MovieClipClass();
    addChild(movieClip)
    But this seems to only work for SWF's published for AS3 Flash
    Player 9.
    I need to do the same for SWF's published with AS2 Flash
    Player 7.
    Any ideas?

  • Loading external swf (no code)

    Hello
    i have a strange issue since update of my app for ios 8: my app is loading external swf (doesnt containing code, its just pdf converted to swf using swftools)
    while its working ok when debugging on device, these external swf don't show up since the app have been accepted on itunes. And i dont have any error message
    what i don't understand is why it's working good with the debug version and not the production version. they are supposed to be exactly the same, and i don't see why it would be a crossdomain or applicationdomain issue. Did somebody experienced the same problem ?
    the thing is its a bit hard to debug, as the prod version isnt firing any message, and the debug version is just fine...:/
    thanks !

  • Loading external Swf into a specific area in Fla file

    I'm sure this question has been asked a trillion time. But truth be told there's no good tutorial for this out there!
    I am trying to load an external swf slide show into my fla file. I want to be able to load into a specific place on the stage.
    I have this code for preloader that loads in an external swf, but it covers the entire swf. Is there any way of changing this slightly to allow it to be loaded in one spot?
    var l:Loader = new Loader();
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
    l.load(new URLRequest("Fuggles Brasserie Restaurant4.swf"));
    function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
    var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
    percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString() +"%";
    function done(e:Event):void
    removeChildAt(0);
    percent = null;
    addChild(l);
    Cheers
    t

    If the loaded object fills the stage, then I have to wonder why you need to locate it anywhere specific.  Or is it possible you are just unloading the rest of the visuals when you use that removeChildAt(0) command such that the loaded object is the only thing  remaining.  In any case, you can assign x and y properties to the Loader ( I do it in the done function, but locating the Loader can be done anytime after it is instantiated)...
    function done(e:Event):void
         removeChildAt(0);
         percent = null;
         l.x = someX;
         l.y = someY;
         addChild(l);

  • Help with loading External SWFs

    Hi:
    I need to load external swfs into a mc. They will play in
    sequence, as soon as one ends, the next one will start. When
    running it blows by the first external swf (start.swf) and the rest
    of the external swfs will not continue to load and play after the
    objectives.swf. Could someone take a look at my code and tell me
    what I’m doing wrong?
    I’ve created controls that will allow me to play, pause
    and stop the external swfs while they’re playing (however,
    these buttons do not seem to have any effect on the external swf
    when it is playing). I think it is a scope issue, but I am not
    sure.
    Also, there’s a combo box at the bottom, which allows
    the user to jump to any external swf (it actually jumps to certain
    labels on the main timeline) at any time. The combo box appears to
    work OK.
    The FLA is located at:
    www.digitalhorizonstudios.com/exstream/newplayer.fla
    By the way, this presentation is a fullscreen .exe file when
    in use, not a swf played in an html file.
    Thanks SO MUCH for any help on this one.

    Please try this line of script:
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); //create the varaible for the loader
    var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("A.swf");// create the variable for the swf to be loaded
    myLoader.load(myURL)
    addChild(myLoader);

    I found out that this works only for loading swf, which has only one frame (and all actionscript on that frame)... It seems that if there are more frames, than it will not load complete swf (hmm maybe it is caused, because not all objects on frames are export in first frame). Preloading starts but after for example 20 % the event.INIT is fired and the external swf starts to play (and crashes..).
    You can see this here http://bvyborcik.xf.cz/  If you click on the blue building on the left with blinking text "Start hry" you will see what happens - preloading is not completed and after clicking on first floor btn, the swf crashes...
    Please is there a solution for this kind of problem?  Any help or pointing is welcome.
    regards Boris

    just curious, is the file you want to load the swf into set up exactly the same way with the same stage size, fps, and layers?

  • Trouble loading external .SWF into my main page with preloaders

    Dear All,
    I am working on my first Flash project with AS3.
    The structure of the flash site is pretty simple. I have a
    stage 1165px wide x 710px height
    Inside my Stage I have an horizontal bar with a menu followed
    by a container right under.
    **** My goal
    is that whenever I click on one of the button on the menu, that the
    related external .SWF loads into
    the container with a preloading bar and %. *****
    I already did all my .SWF files and it is pretty frustrating
    at this point to be stuck at this point of development.
    Please help.

    regarding preloading that should answer most, if not all, of your
    wonderings.

  • AS3 load external swf problem, please help...

    Hey guys, I am really in need of an answer here. I would tremendously grateful if someone has the answer. I'll keep it simple and right to the point:
    1. I have created "index.swf" in AS3. Has it's own "MainClass" class.
    2. I created "holder.swf" which is the main landing page. Has 2 buttons, for the viewer to load the site in fullscreen or standard.
    3. In the timeline of "holder.swf" I have created 2 frames, 1st frame containing the buttons, second frame containing the AS3 external swf loader script.
    It does not seem to want to load my "index.swf".
    I have tested a million different ways, it load other swf's just fine, AS2 and AS3, but for some strange reason it just will NOT load "index.swf".
    This is driving me crazy, I have a feeling it has something to do with a class conflict. I have tried (import MainClass;) in the first frame of "holder.swf" and no luck.
    PLEASE GUYS, LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER!
    THANK YOU SO MUCHO.

    Hey kglad,
    Thanks for the quick reply!
    Well here is the problem... With the exception of a few things I need to update, as well as implementing some better preloaders etc... the site is running alright...
    About a week ago I decided that I wanted to site to start with the above landing page. A simple "holder.swf" which would give the viewer something to look at before entering the site... (ideally I want to find a script that will begin loading "index.swf" while the viewer is still on "holder.swf", but I'll figure that out later).
    Anyhow, I created "holder.swf" as I have many times before, and for some reason it does not seem to want to load "index.swf" into the second frame when instructed to do so... does that make sense?
    So... ideally I would like the site to start on the above graphic, then once the button is clicked, "index.swf" opens up...
    It's driving me crazy, because my code works on other swf's I've tested it with, just not with index.swf, which leads me to believe there is something in the MainClass.as file which is causing it not to load...
    What are your thoughts?
    Oh, and many thanks again!!!
