The timeline of my child swf, there are layers with specific sound files in them to be in sync with my animation. Now the problem arises when I try to import this swf into my main flash website using a loader and the sound will continuously play everytime the button is clicked in the parent. My question is how do I get the sound to completely clear itself and restart from frame 0 of the child swf upon every click of the button that loads the child into the loader within the parent.
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();// create a new instance of the Loader class
var project1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Projects/Q1/Flash_Projects/Greeting_Card/GreetingCard.swf");
var project2:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Projects/Q1/Flash_Projects/Landscape/Landscape.swf");
var project3:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Projects/Q1/Flash_Projects/SpaceInvadersTribute/Main.swf");
var project4:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Projects/Q1/Flash_Projects/RandomImageProducer/RndImgProd.swf");
//var project5:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Projects/Q1/Flash_Projects/Tutorial/Main.swf");
var project6:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Projects/Q1/Flash_Projects/Soundboard/Main.swf");
btnQ1P1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Greeting);
btnQ1P2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,landscape);
btnQ1P3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tribute);
btnQ1P4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, slideshow);
//btnQ1P5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tutorial);
btnQ1P6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, soundboard);
addChild(myLoader);
function Greeting(event:MouseEvent):void {
SoundMixer.stopAll();
myLoader.load(project1);
myLoader.x=550;
myLoader.y=130;
}
//Errors with Sound clips
function landscape(event:MouseEvent):void {
SoundMixer.stopAll();
myLoader.load(project2);
myLoader.x=440;
myLoader.y=130;
}
function tribute(event:MouseEvent):void {
SoundMixer.stopAll();
myLoader.load(project3);
myLoader.x=550;
myLoader.y=170;
}
//Errors with slideshow Code!
function slideshow(event:MouseEvent):void {
SoundMixer.stopAll();
myLoader.load(project4);
myLoader.x=530;
myLoader.y=130;
}
//function tutorial(event:MouseEvent):void{
//SoundMixer.stopAll();
//myLoader.unload();
//myLoader.load(project5);
//myLoader.x = 440;
//myLoader.y = 130;
//}
function soundboard(event:MouseEvent):void {
SoundMixer.stopAll();
myLoader.load(project6);
myLoader.x=550;
myLoader.y=130;
}
I had this same problem.
You need to change the sound from "Event" to "Stream". In Flash Professional, this can be accessed from the properties tab of the sound on the timeline. Click on the sound, and then go to the Properties tab and change the type from Event to Stream.
Now, the sound will stop when the timeline is stopped.

I have one background sound to use in my project. But when I click the button to other scene, the sound repeats themselves and worse, it redundant with the sound in next scene. I was trying to use one background song for the whole project but this problem happened. Can teach me how?
I am using Adobe Flash CS6. Thank you.
the sound is repeating itself because timeline is repeating by default and you should add command stop() in actionscript. You did not provide any source code so I'll assume you don't have any, in your case here is a sample program in actionscript that loops the background music.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop(); //<-- make sure to stop timeline
var bgMusic:Sound = new BGMusic();
var bgChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
bgChannel = bgMusic.play();
bgChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loop);
startButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startGame);
function startGame(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1, "Scene 2"); //<-- stop after clicking button
}
function loop(e:Event):void {
bgChannel = bgMusic.play();
bgChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loop);
}
I have been looking for solutions around here but I can't seem to get it right.
Basically I am trying to load an external swf after clicking on a 'Next' button and it will automatically go to a specific frame eg. frame 8 instead of frame 1.
At first I've got an error of using of using MovieClip function in a Loader and such.
Here's my code
nextBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_1);
var fl_Loader1:Loader;
var fl_ToLoad1:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if(fl_ToLoad1)
{
fl_Loader1 = new Loader();
fl_Loader1.load(new URLRequest("projectnowd.swf"));
addChild(fl_Loader1);
var fl_Loader1:MovieClip = event.target.content as MovieClip;
fl_Loader1.gotoAndStop(8);
}
else
{
fl_Loader1.unload();
removeChild(fl_Loader1);
fl_Loader1 = null;
}
fl_ToLoad1 = !fl_ToLoad1;
}
You can access content of loaded swf only after event. Complete was dispatched while loading swf file on to the stage.
Define event handler method to start from 8 th frame
function loaderCompleteHandler(evt:Event):void {
var loadedMovie:MovieClipp = evt.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
loadedMovie.gotoAndStop(8);
}
Replace if block with below lines of code
if(fl_ToLoad1)
{
fl_Loader1 = new Loader();
fl_Loader1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleteHandler);
fl_Loader1.load(new URLRequest("projectnowd.swf"));
addChild(fl_Loader1);
}
Happy coding :)
So I'd like to set this up to where you click on a button it loads a new scene and unloads the previous scene.
This is what I have so far.
staart.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
function loadSWF(swfURL){
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mySWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfURL);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener
(Event.COMPLETE,onCompleteHandler);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener
(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onProgressHandler);
myLoader.load(mySWF);
}
function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event){
addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
loadEvent.currentTarget.content.gotoAndStop(swfFrame);
}
function onProgressHandler(myProgress:ProgressEvent){
var percent:Number =
Math.round(myProgress.bytesLoaded/myProgress.bytesTotal*100);
trace(percent+"% loaded");
}
}
var swfFrame:Number= 1;
loadSWF("home.swf");
}
Is it possible to unload a specific swf file or previous swf file through a newly loaded swf file?
You should create a variable for your swf.
Add this to your code :
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
// Adds the movie clip at initialization.
addChild(mc);
and modify your onCompleteHandler method like this :
function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event){
// Changes the content of your movie clip.
mc = loadEvent.currentTarget.content;
mc.gotoAndStop(swfFrame);
}
shawn gave you the right answer but there are 2 other problems in your code:
There's a typo in element staart and a potential memory leak because you add event listeners without removing them. You should add the following two lines in onCompleteListener function:
loadEvent.currentTarget.removeEventListeners(Event.COMPLETE,onCompleteHandler)
loadEvent.currentTarget.removeEventListeners(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onProgressHandler)
If you don't remove the listeners, the garbage collector will be unable to free the memory of every loader you create on each click
I want to loop a swf file that has been loaded with via the Loader class in AS3.
My code looks as following:
public class MyLoader extends MovieClip {
public function MyLoader() {
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external-movie.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener("complete", function() {
});
addChild(myLoader);
}
}
From what I understand the Loader has no event for when the embedded movie is finished? Is there a way to figure that out? It must not be a AS3 implementation. I just want a movie that has been exported from Indesign to run in a loop. Thanks in advance
Especially when you have little experience programming you should avoid dirty shortcuts as they'll only get you a lot of trouble. So avoid anonymous function and avoid using string in place of static event variables.
This being said, if your loaded movie has its own timeline then it will be converted into a MovieClip. Also that movie is not embedded but loaded and that's a big difference.
Keep a reference of that movie and the loader:
private var theLoadedMovie:MovieClip;
private var myLoader:Loader;
Listen for the INIT event instead of the COMPLETE event (movies with timeline start to play when their first frame is loaded "INIT", the COMPLETE event fires when the whole movie is loaded).
myLoader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external-movie.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, handleInit);
In your handleInit method keep a reference of that movie:
theLoadedMovie = myLoader.content as MovieClip;
addChild(theLoadedMovie);
theLoadedMovie.addEventListener(Event.ENTERFRAME, handleEnterFrame);
in your handleEnterFrame method check the movie progress to know when it has ended:
if(theLoadedMovie.currentFrame == theLoadedMovie.totalFrames)
{
//movie has reached then end
}
I created an information kiosk on flash but I got a problem that is really annoying on loading my contents externally. I have exported all of my swf files and created a unique swf to load everything on it with the main menu on top. The main problem is streaming a video from youtube. It loads perfectly but when i navigate to another page, the page changes but the video does not stop if it has been played once.(the sound keeps playing). Here is my code:
loader1.fla:
// Container
var pageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
// Url Requests
var loadRequest1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("basics1.swf");
var loadRequest2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("climatechange.swf");
// Initial Page Loaded
pageLoader.load(loadRequest1)
addChild(pageLoader)
// Button Functions
function goHome (e:MouseEvent):void{
pageLoader.load(loadRequest1)
addChild(pageLoader)
}
hpage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome);
//go to climate change page
function climatePage (e:MouseEvent):void{
pageLoader.load(loadRequest2);
addChild(pageLoader);
}
climatep.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, climatePage);
climatechange.fla:
Security.allowDomain("http://www.youtube.com")
// load video
var pageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
// Url Requests
var loadRequest1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("overviewvideo.swf");
// Intial Page Loaded
pageLoader.load(loadRequest1)
addChild(pageLoader)
overviewvideo.fla:
/*youtube video*/
var player:Object;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.checkPolicyFile = true;
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onLoaderInit);
Security.allowDomain("http://www.youtube.com")
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/v/6s8iiIFgPMU&list=PL9C6D9D2AF8999F85&index=12"));
function onLoaderInit(event:Event):void {
addChild(loader);
loader.x= 40;
loader.y=130;
loader.content.addEventListener("onReady", onPlayerReady);
loader.content.addEventListener("onError", onPlayerError);
loader.content.addEventListener("onStateChange", onPlayerStateChange);
loader.content.addEventListener("onPlaybackQualityChange", onVideoPlaybackQualityChange);
}
function onPlayerReady(event:Event):void {
// Event.data contains the event parameter, which is the Player API ID
trace("player ready:", Object(event).data);
// Once this event has been dispatched by the player, we can use
// cueVideoById, loadVideoById, cueVideoByUrl and loadVideoByUrl
// to load a particular YouTube video.
player = loader.content;
// Set appropriate player dimensions for your application
player.setSize(480, 260);
}
function onPlayerError(event:Event):void {
// Event.data contains the event parameter, which is the error code
trace("player error:", Object(event).data);
}
function onPlayerStateChange(event:Event):void {
// Event.data contains the event parameter, which is the new player state
trace("player state:", Object(event).data);
}
function onVideoPlaybackQualityChange(event:Event):void {
// Event.data contains the event parameter, which is the new video quality
trace("video quality:", Object(event).data);
}
Can anyone help? I'd be glad if someone can help me out. Thank you
Before you load a new swf into the loader, you need to first call:
pageLoader.unloadAndStop();
Attempts to unload child SWF file contents and stops the execution of commands from loaded SWF files. This method attempts to unload SWF files that were loaded using Loader.load() or Loader.loadBytes() by removing references to EventDispatcher, NetConnection, Timer, Sound, or Video objects of the child SWF file. As a result, the following occurs for the child SWF file and the child SWF file's display list:
Sounds are stopped.
Stage event listeners are removed.
Event listeners for enterFrame, frameConstructed, exitFrame, activate and deactivate are removed.
Timers are stopped.
Camera and Microphone instances are detached
Movie clips are stopped.
