Noob question about .swf embedding

programming flash
1

Hi all

Im having a problem with a mov embedding in a swf file. What i want to achieve is to trigger a function when the swf file has stopped playing. For some odd reason i cant figure this out. My code is this:

import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
stop();

var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
var pictURL:String = "trafik1.swf"
var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pictURL);
pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);
trafik1_mc.addChild(pictLdr);
trafik1_mc.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, remove);

function remove(event:Event)
{
    trace("t");
    trafik1_mc.removeChild(pictLdr);
}

sorry for the noob question, hope you can help

MovieClip has no Event.COMPLETE event.
You may add your own event at the end of the swf, or you may check if it is still playing:


addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);
function onEnter(evt:Event):void
{[INDENT]if (your_mc.currentFrame == your_mc.lastFrame) {removeMC()}
[/INDENT]}

It’s not the most beautiful solution, but it might work, I hope :slight_smile:

Thanks for your reply Terrible. Ive been messing about with it a bit, but it does not seem to work. It seems that your_mc.currentFrame always returns 1. I guess that this is because the progression of frames takes place in the child og your_mc? My problem then, is how to access the timeline of the child of your_mc.

Anyone has an idea of how to get this?

PS. I also am having a bit of problems with lastFrame. Is this a AS3 thing? It doesnt ‘turn blue’ in my Flash document.

Thanks again,

Oppps, sorry. It should be ‘totalFrames’.

Thank you, i changed it now. It does not make any difference though, since your_mc currentFrame is always 1 (and so is totalFrames)?! I need to get to your_mc’s child’s (pictLdr) timeline, and read the frames from there. any ideas?
