Loading and Unloading an SWF file I’m currently working on a educational project for e-learning. This project has multiple buttons for opening several specific SWF files. What I want to accomplish is to be able to use my container file with 3 primary buttons for the named SWF files and have them load in a specific location in the container SWF. Then I have a separate button that just needs to close the loaded SWF file. FYI, the 3 primary buttons will be covered by the loaded swf file. I’m including my AS3 code for review. I can load a SWF and close it once. After that, it doesn’t work. I would appreciate any assistance.
Code:
stop();
sub1.about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutLoad);
sub1.pdf_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pdfLoad);
sub1.myvideo_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , videoLoad);
sub1.quiz_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, quizLoad);
function aboutLoad(e:MouseEvent):void {
loadClip(“about.swf”);
}
function pdfLoad(e:MouseEvent):void {
loadClip(“pdf.swf”);
}
function videoLoad(e:MouseEvent):void {
loadClip(“myvideo.swf”);
}
function quizLoad(e:MouseEvent):void {
loadClip(“quiz.swf”);
}
var theLoader = new Loader();
theLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Progr essEvent.PROGRESS, progHandler);
theLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event .COMPLETE, loadedHandler);
addChild(theLoader);
theLoader.x=102;
theLoader.y=85;
back1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backClick);
function backClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
removeChild(theLoader);
}
function loadClip(t:String):void {
SoundMixer.stopAll();
var myUrl:URLRequest=new URLRequest(t);
theLoader.load(myUrl);
}
preText.visible=false;
function progHandler(e:ProgressEvent):void {
preText.visible=true;
var myPercent = Math.floor((e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal)*100);
preText.text=“loading: “+myPercent+”%”;
}
function loadedHandler(e:Event):void {
preText.visible=false;
}
Best,
