Excellent, but what if I would like to define the loaded SWF dimensions? For example lets just assume that original dimensions of loaded SWF file is 500 x 300. If I load this SWF to other Movie like in the top, its dimensions are completely different, much bigger than it should be. So, how would the code look like? I’ve already found (i thought the solution) the scrip, with ScaleX parameters, but it wasn’t good. My loaded SWF is a pie chart, and each part of it has its own description which is easy to read (font-size). After i used the ScaleX parameter, is has changed the loaded SWF dimensions, but also changed the font-size, and that in result wasn’t the solution. So i ask again, are You able to tell me, how would the code look like where i set the original size of loaded SWF? or i could define its size, but through WIDTH & HEIGHT dimensions, not through ScaleX / ScaleY?

Could You give your e-mail? I’d send You my source files, and maybe you’ll figure out something. It’s true that there was something wrong with (i suppose) parent movie clip, i’m just guessing, cause i made a new AS3 project file, and did everything again step by step. My SWF file was explored in its original size, but… it’s still too big, so i’m forced to continue the case.

Thanks for posting this!

I am very new with actionscript 3.0…
I have set this up to load when I click a button on the stage. It seems to load, as I hear the file I am loading in…however I don’t see it on the screen… any ideas as to what I may have wrong here?

Here is my code

Thanks!

import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;

//btn_1 START
this.btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myClickHandler);
btn_1.buttonMode = true;
btn_1.useHandCursor = true;

function myClickHandler(myCrazyEvent)
{
// This is the Loader instance that will load your SWF.
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();

// URLRequest points to your external SWF
var swfFile:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“videoplayer_design.swf”);

//create the container Movie Clip to load swf
var container:MovieClip= new MovieClip();

// Assign an event listener so that Flash informs you when the SWF has been loaded.
swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoadedHandler);

function swfLoadedHandler(e:Event):void {
trace(“swf loaded”);

//store this loaded swf reference in currentSWF MovieClip object to access it later
//You need to cast swfLoader.content as a MovieClip before storing its reference
var currentSWF:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
currentSWF = MovieClip(swfLoader.content)

//and you can easily access loader content’s timeline like this
currentSWF.visible = true;
}

swfLoader.load(swfFile);

//just add the loaded swf to container
container.addChild(swfLoader);
}
//btn_1 END

Ali, i have been trying to get this code working with no success.
This is what i have been using

var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var swfFile:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“preloaderSml.swf”);
var container:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoadedHandler);
function swfLoadedHandler(e:Event):void {
trace(“swf loaded”);
}
swfLoader.load(swfFile);
container.addChild(swfLoader);
addChild(container);
var currentSWF:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
currentSWF = MovieClip(swfLoader.content);

i have been trying to call a movieclip from within the swf file called preloader_mc. Code for this below:

currentSWF.preloader_mc.myLoadText.text = percent + “%”; currentSWF.preloader_mc.circleLoader.gotoAndStop(percent);

I keep getting this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at fArtistsGallery_fla::MainTimeline/loadProgress()

I have double and triple checked my instance names in other swf and all is correct

Thanks for any help Ali

Hi, i have a problem and i cannot find a solution
can you take a look at this, pleassssse

I have one swf that was made by Wondershare Flash Gallery Factory Deluxe program, and some other files comes with it.

The problem is that when it loads into my main swf doesn’t appear into the movieclip that i target to the code but on the stage, on top of all others, i don’t know exactly what happens, it seems not to me in the display list.

The point is that i’d like a back button showing in front of the gallery in order to be able to close it and go back.

i’d like you to take a look at this and help me if you know something. all the files is in a zip file, you can download it from here: e-tsantilis.com/actionscriptOrg.zip

ok! again thanks for your response! if you have time to look at files from pc some time, you will help, because if there is a solution to it only someone expert to actionscript can help me and all the others who have the same issue!
Thanks for your time!
