Read Dymanic Swf from Container - Problem

[vijai54]

Thanks a lot.. It working fine.

Now I tried this code too

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
i = 0
while (true)
{
if (myData["mymovie" + i] == undefined)
break;
loadMovie(myData["mymovie" + i], _root);
i++;
}
};
myData.load("myChild.txt");


In that "myChild" text file, we have like this

mymovie0=File:///e:/demon.swf&
mymovie1=File:///e:/eyeclosed.swf


But I tried this to execute swf files one by one, i got only the first swf file. i wont get other swf files.

could any one tell me the solution..

A related question. If a master swf loads multiple child swf, does each child swf is allocated its own memory space or shares the parent swf's memory space?

Hi,

Your code does not seem right, it's loading SWFs specified in txt file in one loop without waiting for one to finish loading and playback. It won't give the results you want.

You first need to load the variables from the txt file. When variables are loaded, then use my que playback code to load and play one SWF at a time.

Your question regarding any other way for child SWFs, yes, there is

loadListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void 
{
    trace(">> loadListener.onLoadInit()");
    trace(">> =============================");
    trace(">> SWF loaded: " + target_mc._url);
    // 
    target_mc.onEnterFrame = function()
    {
        if(target_mc._currentframe == target_mc._totalframes)
            _parent.loadNextSWF();
    }
}

In above code I added onEnterFrame function for the child, so when it reaches last frame, it call the loadNextSWF function to load the next SWF in que.

I hope this helps,

@Ramesh,

It depends how you want to load the child SWFs. Main SWF will allocate memory it requires. And additional child SWF will allocate more memory as required by this SWF.

If you have requirement to load multiple SWFs at the same time, each SWF will allocate is share of memory. If you have requirement to load one SWF at a time, then replace it with next SWF. You can unload previous SWF and load next one.

My best practice for loading SWFs since Flash 4 days, is to replace the existing MC instance with the new one. Surprisingly it works pretty well in FL, this way memory is instantly relocated to new SWF, while if you use unloadMovie, and then create new MC instance and load next SWF, it will not immediately reallocate memory, and sometimes gives "out of memory" errors if you load / unload many SWFs.

You can use Oxygen Toolkit to see memory usage in your FL applications. http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...Developers_Kit
