Based on one of your Great Codes I developed this one : It is all about 4 SWF files that will be load one after another then it stores last swf you ran when you close it ( when you exit each one it will be load next time exactly the same SWF you've exited). for example if you close swf number 3 , next time you start the main swf you will start from SWF number 3...

But there is a big problem here ...

Each of my SFWs are about 10 to 16 Mb (I didn't create them with flash) and unfortunately your code seem to load all of them at once ... then play them in sequence ... I have to load more than 100 SWF files and it will definitely cause RAM issue ... Each one cost me 10-16MB...

I'm not a programmer but I'm thinking why showing multiple SWF files and remembering where you left is that hard in 2018 ??? ...

Please Help me find a way to load swfs one after another and save last status of it ...

You're My Last Hope Carl ...

Thanks

Hi all... Is there anyone here???

I've found a simple but useful code  developed a few years ago... it loads 2 swf files in sequence ...

But I have just one question...

How can I Loop them?

How can you change the code to load swf1 after swf2 is finished?

I've tried almost the whole day but no result yet... Please help...

thank you a lot...

Im using loadermax to read an XML file of SWFLoaders.

If I use the setting of maxconnections of 1 things load sequentially and all is good.

I store the loader names in an array (using array.push(event.target.name) in the child complete function and play them as needed later on

However If I set it to max connections of 3 - some complete loading before others, and the array ends up out of order. An easy way around this is to just add an index to each loader.

Right now one of the XML nodes look like this :

What I would like to do is this :

Then be able to read that index variable in the child complete function.

(The work around Im using right now is to just parse the name at the _ and use the number as the index - but Id like to remove that constraint.)

Thanks

This is my biggest problem in Adobe Animate AS3 ever. So the problem is-

I have 8 SWFs which have separate topic in each and one main SWF file and i want to connect all of them together like-

Firstly i open Main SWF then it shows all the 8 topics name with each button. i used script from code snippets which is 'Click to load/unload SWF' and i assigned all the SWF as it required to open. I have created a button in each SWF to go back to main SWF using same code as i mentioned.... It is working properly but i realized that each time i click to open new SWF, it overlape on old one and when i open multiple times all SWFs, it become very heavy and get legging and hangs very much, consumes more memory...

So what can i do to load new SWF and unload all previous SWFs by clicking on same button in each SWF ???????

Please give some idea with whole detailed script which i have to paste with button name and file name(u can assume any button name and file name).

As i don't have enough knowledge about writing manual code.

Please give some positive response.

Thanks....

that's awesome and a smart guy developed it a little bit (tnx to a user asked about the same problem) ... add saving what swf lastly loaded (using shared object) and fade in loading swf etc  ...  Now it's all great but  I faced a big problem in my output :

Error 2006 The Supplied Index is Out of Bounds

How can I get ride of this ...

any help is appreciated...

stackoverflow is a mess to solve this ...

Is this just my local system? I've redownloaded and replaced the .SWC component but the problem remains.

I know you don't deal with Flash anymore, but I am desperate to finish this rather large program and graduate with my Ph.D. in December. I have four child swf files that are loaded individually and never appear at the same time. They all load perfectly when the parent is run in the Flash IDE (AS3). However, running the parent outside the IDE as an swf results in only 3 of the 4 loading. I have checked each child swf variable declaration and loader function and all four are identical. Could the estimatedBytes be a determinant? 

var queueIE:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax();

var queueLoader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("IntExtCode.swf", {name:"swfIE_loader", estimatedBytes:210000, container:this, x:5, y:5, autoPlay:false, onComplete:completeIE_Handler});

function completeIE_Handler(event:LoaderEvent):void

{

      event.target.rawContent.setProbNumber(problemNumber);

      event.target.rawContent.setProbText(problemText);

      var myQueue:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.target.rawContent);

      myQueue.closeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Click, closeIE_Utility);

}

function closeIE_Utility(event:MouseEvent):void

{

     queueIE.getLoader("swfIE_Loader").unload();

}

function loadIE_FlowChart():void

{

     this.addChildAt(queueIELoader.content, this.numChildren);

     queueIE.append(queueIELoader);

     queueIE.load();

}

Thank you for any help you can give me,

I'm on a project created in Flash Builder 4.7 and Flash Professional CS6, nice.

I need the project load's a SWF in the "preloaded SWF", the first SWF, loads a second SWF, and this second would be the "Home" of the project.

At this point, work's perfectly. but when the home try to load secondaries SWF sends me

This is an image of the Google console.log, and catch this:

-start InitialSWF

-Load HomeSWF

-Complete loaded of HomeSWF

-Start HomeSWF

-The link of the Secondary SWF, I deleted the link in the image because contains data of me...

-Load SecondarySWF

- ERROR

I don't know why the SecondarySWF is 100% loaded but return an error... Regards!

I know you are not supporting Flash AS3 anymore, however, perhaps you can give me a quick tip (you did this on another issue and your tip solved the problem) as to why some of the movieclips on the parent disappear when the SWF is unloaded. I am using-

var queueIE:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax;

queueIE.append(new SWFLoader("IntExtCode.swf", {name:"swfIE_Loader",estimatedBytes:90000, container:this, x:5,y:10, autoplay:false, onComplete:completeIE_Handler}));

in the complete handler is a listener for the close button which executes:

queue.getLoader("swfIE_Loader").unload();

the swf is unloaded very nicely, but several of the movieclips (but not all) are removed as well. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

I am using LoaderMax to load a child swf and it works very well, including the transfer of two variables from parent to child. However, I cannot locate any code (understandable to me) on this forum that indicates the code necessary in the parent and the code necessary in the child to accomplish this. I was able to do it in AS3 with a listener or two and a dispatch event but couldn't transfer the variables. I'd much rather use LoaderMax anyway.

This is the code for the loader in the parent:

queueIE.append(new SWFLoader("IntExtCode.swf", {name:swfMainLoader", estimated bytes:90000, container:this, x:5, y:10, autoPlay:false, onComplete:completeHandler}));

function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void

{

event.target.rawContent.setProbNumber(catPracProblemNumber);

event.target.rawContent.setProbText(practiceProblemText_txt.text);

}

Can I put a listener (COMPLETE) in this function and use my regular as3 code that dispatches an event with a dispatchEvent in the child code?

Thank you for any help you can give me

Sorry if my topic is stupid but is there a way to do something like this :

var asset:ImageLoader = new ImageLoader ( assetUrl, { name:assetName } );

if ( myVar == true )

{

asset.scaleMode= "proportionalInside";

}

else

{

asset.scaleMode= "proportionalOutside";

}

asset.load();

...there is a known bug with Video.clear(), logged in the Adobe system & never getting fixed:

https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-178

The workaround seems to be either:

show & hide video

(which doesn't help since showing the video on start still displays the last frame)

or:

when clear() is called, destroy & reinstantiate the Video instance.

It would be great if the VideoLoader had a clear() method which did the second point above.

Yup thats right its back to the days of Flash for me. Flash and chocolate cookies:

I'm using VideoLoader in a service class. Once the video loaded I wan to add the video tot he display list in a different class (It's a robotleg project).

Now I guess I could in my service class create a container sprite and in my initialization include it without adding that container to stage and then once the video is loaded I pass that container as payload via  my event to > mediator > to my Video view where I add it to stage.

Or is there another way?

I base this question on the fact that you usually include a container :

//create a VideoLoader
var video:VideoLoader = new VideoLoader("assets/video.flv", {name:"myVideo", container:this, width:400, height:300, scaleMode:"proportionalInside", bgColor:0x000000, autoPlay:false, volume:0, requireWithRoot:this.root, estimatedBytes:75000});
//start loading
video.load();

I found this project you uploaded named loadSWFsPlaySequence dot zip ...

but unfortunately I faced a big problem :

problem 1 :

as I want to load huge and multiple swfs one after another I should be aware of memory that loaded swfs take ,so I tried to unload last swf when new swf is loading but each time I failed ...

problem 2 : how can I fade in each swf that is loading using loadeMax ?

please somebody tell me am I such stupid or it's hard to ...

can you help ? 

thanks a lot ...

I've just stumbled on this wicked product and I don't know how I've survived without it - but I am having a bit of a problem. I've been able to build a mini-simulation application that functions flawlessly when I test the movie within Flash CS6 but when I export to SWF/HTML the images do not load. Is there anything that I should look at (settings? code?)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

I have created a piece of software which at one point allows users to play a video/audio file. The video/audio file is loaded into the software by the user, re-saved into the users My Document's folder and then VideoLoader loads and plays the re-saved file.

The issue I am experiencing is that one of software users works at a company where their My Documents folder is mapped to a network location (something like Server01) meaning when VideoLoader attempts to load the video it triggers both the OnFail and OnError functions. 

Is this something you can't do using VideoLoader or is there a way around this?

Many thanks.

So I am running into this issue where if I watch one video slide and then navigate to another video slide when I hit the play pause button it stops the current video and starts playing the previous slide's video. So its like there are 2 streams currently in memory. So I thought that what I needed to do was on transition out of a slide I should close the netstream for the video slide I am navigating away from. Like this

public function disableMedia():void {
  _player.playPause();
  _player.videoLoader.gotoVideoTime(0);
  _player.videoLoader.netStream.close();

}

But because (I think) I am taking a bitmapdata snapshot of each slide to handle some transition effects between slides netStream.close() causes a Sandbox Violation error.

SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: file:///D|/Media%20Prime/Gaia/deploy/swf/intro.swf cannot access null. No policy files granted access.
at flash.display::BitmapData/draw()

at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at com.greensock.loading.core::LoaderCore/_completeHandler()
at com.greensock.loading::VideoLoader/_enterFrameHandler()
NetStatusEvent. code: NetStream.Seek.Notify

Now I only get the error when I try to close the stream. Otherwise I am able to take a snapshot of the video on transition out with no problem.

So maybe I am not approaching this problem the right way. And I am not sure if it is an issue with Greensock Loading classes or Flash video classes.

 
var queue:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax({name:"mainQueue"});
 
queue.append( new SWFLoader("anim1.swf", {name:"idle1", estimatedBytes:40000, container:this}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("anim2.swf", {name:"idle2", estimatedBytes:40000, container:this}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("anim2.swf", {name:"idle3", estimatedBytes:40000, container:this}) );
queue.load();

 
This works and puts it on stage, but it always only puts the last thing in the list (which is idle3) on top. I can't figure out how to make it put only idle2 or only idle1 instead. If i put properties like x:-200 for idle1, it wlill show up to the left, but how would I hide idle2/idle3 from appearing?
 
Before trying loader max i used the traditional swfloader in as3, and while this works the problem is that every time it loads an animation the whole character animation "blinks" (i'm loading this locally from my hdd) and makes it look jumpy since every transition is a blink.

import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.Event;

var idleloader= new Loader(); 
var swf_idle_store:Array = ["anim1.swf","anim2.swf","anim3.swf"];
var idleTimer:Timer =new Timer(3000,0);

idleTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, random_idle_swf);
idleTimer.start();


function random_idle_swf(e:Event):void {
var tempnumb:int;
tempnumb=Math.random()*swf_idle_store.length;
rariloader.load(new URLRequest(swf_idle_store[tempnumb]));	
addChild(idleloader);	
}

I figure the way around this would be to preload all the animations, and loadermax seems to do that if i could just figure out how to make it load a specific thing after preloading. 

I'm using a DataLoader to download a binary that I uploaded to my sites.google.com account. I was hoping to use that as a host for some data that my Flash will download when necessary. Is that not possible to do unless I'm the owner of the webhost so I can set my own permissions?

var loaderf: SWFLoader;
var queue: LoaderMax;
function moduleClicked(e: Event): void {
loadSWF("com/SWF/" + e.target.moduleTitle_txt.text.replace(/ /g, "_") + ".swf");


}
function loadSWF(path: String): void {
var request: URLRequest;
request = new URLRequest();
request.url = path + "?newfile=" + Math.random();
request.cacheResponse = false;
request.useCache = false;


var lc: LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null);
lc.allowCodeImport = true;
try {
Security.allowDomain("*");
} catch (e) {}
queue = new LoaderMax({
name: "mainQueue",
onProgress: progressHandler,
onComplete: completeHandler,
onError: errorHandler
});
loaderf = new SWFLoader(request, {
name: "childClip",
estimatedBytes: 15000000,
container: this,
autoPlay: true,
onInit: initHandler,
context: lc,
scaleX: stage.stageWidth / 640,
scaleY: stage.stageHeight / 480


});


queue.append(loaderf);
queue.load(true);






}


function initHandler(event: LoaderEvent): void {
loaderf.rawContent.addEventListener("close", closeLoader);
}


function closeLoader(event: Event): void {
queue.getLoader("childClip").unload();
queue.getLoader("childClip").dispose();
}


function progressHandler(event: LoaderEvent): void {
trace("progress: " + event.target.progress);
}


function completeHandler(event: LoaderEvent): void {
trace(event.target + " is complete!");
}


function errorHandler(event: LoaderEvent): void {
trace("error occured with " + event.target + ": " + event.text);
}

And this is my code for the regular Loader (this works on reloading but it seems the greensock loader doesn't work)

var _swfLoader: Loader;
var _urlLoader: URLLoader;
var _swfContent: MovieClip;
function moduleClicked(e: Event): void {
try{
loadSWF("com/SWF/" + e.target.moduleTitle_txt.text.replace(/ /g, "_") + ".swf");
}catch(e:Error){}
trace("clicked");


}
function loadSWF(path: String): void {




try {
Security.allowDomain("*");
} catch (e) {}


_swfLoader = new Loader();


_urlLoader = new URLLoader();
setupListeners(_swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo); 


_urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
_urlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, loginError);
_urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoads);
_urlLoader.load(new URLRequest(path));










}


function onLoads(e:Event){
var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null);
lc.allowCodeImport = true;


_swfLoader.loadBytes(_urlLoader.data,lc);
// setupListeners(_swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo); 
}


function preloadSWF(event: ProgressEvent): void {
var _perc: int = (event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal) * 100;
// swfPreloader.percentTF.text = _perc + "%";
/*Loading_bar.text = "Loading" + _perc;*/
trace(_perc);
}


function addSWF(event: Event): void {




event.target.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addSWF);
event.target.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preloadSWF);




_swfContent = event.target.content;
_swfContent.addEventListener("close", unloadSWF);
try{
addChild(_swfContent);
}catch(e:Error){}
_swfContent.scaleX = stage.stageWidth / 640;
_swfContent.scaleY = stage.stageHeight / 480;






}
function loginError(event:IOErrorEvent): void {
trace("Error loading the URL");
}


public function unloadSWF(event: Event): void {
_swfLoader.unloadAndStop();


removeChild(_swfContent);
//_swfLoader = null;
_swfContent = null;
/*System.gc();*/
}




function setupListeners(dispatcher: IEventDispatcher): void {
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addSWF);
dispatcher.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preloadSWF);
}

I know it is a known issue and there is a lot written about it, but I still didn't manage to solve it.

This is the simple-code I use:

var m_oLoaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext (false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null);
m_oGameLoader = new SWFLoader("externalcontent.swf" + "?newfile=" + Mah.random(), 
                        { name:"gameloader",
                          // autoDispose: true,
                          autoPlay:false,
                          centerRegistration:false,
                          x:0, y:0,  
                          scaleX:1, scaleY:1,
                          container:this,
                          noCache:true,
                          //onError:f_LoaderError,
                          onComplete:f_LoaderComplete,
                          context: m_oLoaderContext } );
m_oGameLoader.load();

The as3-Loader-class gave the same error at first, but I solved it adding the newfile-parameter + cacheResponse/useCache-properties:

m_oLoader = new Loader();
m_oLoader.visible = true;

m_oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, f_NativeLoaderComplete, false, 0, true);
//m_oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, f_NativeLoaderError, false, 0, true);

var request:URLRequest;
request = new URLRequest();

request.url = p_sPad + "?newfile=" + Math.random();
request.cacheResponse = false;
request.useCache = false;

m_oLoader.load(request, m_oLoaderContext);

In the swfloader I allready diabled cache and added the newfile-paramter, but this doesn't do the trick.

I'm using Adobe Air SDK 14.0.0.73, but also tried some other versions like 3.7 / 3.8, with the same problem.

Is there something I'm missing?

var sterling1:VideoLoader = new VideoLoader(“assets/sterling1.mp4”,{name:”sterling1”, container:this, onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler, autoplay:false});

 
I have ten MCs representing each video, each one with an ID. EXAMPLE:

sterlingButs.sterling1.ID = “sterling1”;

 
I created a function called playVid that I want to use to play the videos.
 

function playVid(event:MouseEvent):void {
        targetMovie=event.target.ID;
        trace("targetMovie "+targetMovie);
       
        VARIABLE_HERE.load();
        choreoButs.gotoAndStop("none");
        sterlingButs.gotoAndStop("one");
        break;
ETC…

I also have functions representing Rewind, Forward, scaleUp, and ScaleBack.
 
EXAMPLE:

controls.RewBut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,RewVidHandler);
function RewVidHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
        trace("Fwd");
        trace(VARIABLE_HERE.videoTime);
        VARIABLE_HERE.gotoVideoTime(VARIABLE_HERE.videoTime-5);

 
I can’t seem to figure out how to cast the variable I get when clicking the button into the VideoLoader instance name.
 
Sorry if this seems too basic, but I just have a hard time with data types.

I have weird bugs while playing with SWFLoader..

I have a Main.fla that loads a bunch of .swf (that are just an image sequences).

Everything works fine when I test it in StageDisplayState.NORMAL but when I switch to StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE or StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN, the swfs start acting weirdly!!

Some still display but are flashing randomly..

Some does not display anymore while tracing this infinitely :

[sWF] swf/groupe-map.swf - 0 octets après la décompression

[sWF] swf/groupe-map.swf - 0 octets après la décompression

[sWF] swf/groupe-map.swf - 0 octets après la décompression

[sWF] swf/groupe-map.swf - 0 octets après la décompression

etc..

Does anyone have an idea?

Really strange, isn't it??

Sebastien

Edit

It seems it has nothing to do with SWFLoader because I have the same behaviour when loading the swf with Loader/URLRequest..
