Check this out guys! An XML driven external swf file loader.

It even preloads every swf file with a cool circular preloader! Don’t miss this and don’t forget to rate!

Files included:

  • XML file

Awesome File!!! Highly Recommended!! I’ve been searching for something like this for a long time. And awesome that quickboy is the author cause you know this product is great!!

Quick question:

how would I go about scripting in that the main.swf which randomly chooses between .swf1, .swf2, .swf3 so They do not always appear in the same order?? I do not want wish to have the random script on the buttons.

thanks in advance

Man, this file is SO sick and easy to use!!! Thank you SO much! Highly recommended!

Quick question though: I’ve integrated the file into my page at www.reactioncheer.com, and as you notice, the slides don’t cycle through on their own…instead, you have to click the “next” button.

How do I fix this in your professional opinion?

PS – I’m VERY new to Flash and am doin’ the best I can…so please keep the solution simple! ;)

Thanks, ~ headphizicist

Hi – just purchased and need help. Very time sensitive so a quick response is GREATLY appreciated! :)

1) The .SWF files loaded by Main.swf are playing much faster then when I run them directly. I have no way to edit Main.swf. Why would it play the files faster? Please help.

2) The product has no help, documentation, or way to customize behaviours (as you advertise). How does one customize this?

@matteni:

I’ve sent you an email. The problem was your FPS :)

@headphizicist:

Every external swf file should call the nextswf() function at the end. ;)

The mctween is a free class used for tweening. Download it from their website: http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/

Great file, exactly what I was looking for! I have two questions about it, if anyone can help:

1. In another comment someone asked how to give each external clip it’s own button but I don’t think the provided solution works anymore. Is there another/new way to do this?

The provided solution:

on (release) { k=2 nextswf(); }

2. If question number 1 can work is there also a way to indicate which external clip is playing? For example if I have three buttons, “1”, “2” and “3” what code do I apply to tell “1” to be highlighted when the first clip is playing?

Thanks!

I’d like to add this to my library of flashden files…..had the previous posters problem two messages up been resolved yet?

Also can you remove any buttons and/or add pause on rollover???

It works perfect, be sure to put the files in the main folder of your website, if you put it into a folder… it doesn’t work; another thing: if you use just 2 swf files the back button doesn’t work good, so you have to change this funtion in the actionscript:

function prevswf(){ k—; fadeIn(); if(k < total-3){ k=2 fadeIn(); my_loader.loadClip(swiff[k], container); } fadeIn(); my_loader.loadClip(swiff[k], container); }

for:

function prevswf(){ k—; fadeIn(); if(k < total-2){ k=1 fadeIn(); my_loader.loadClip(swiff[k], container); } fadeIn(); my_loader.loadClip(swiff[k], container); }

And everything works!...sweet…thanks for this file!

Posted about 1 year ago

Any idea how I can give each SWF a url in the XML and then when it’s clicked it goes to the url?

Thanks!

Posted about 1 year ago

I’d also like to know if you can link to an external site from the swf’s. Maybe an invisible button over the top?

random order.. This file can do that ???

Hey, I love this player. It is PERFECT for my needs.

However, I made a product demonstration in Flash with audio throughout the entire file. When I loaded my SWF into this player, the stop button will only stop the SWF animation…the sound keeps going. When I press play again, the animation starts and the audio is out of sync with the animation.

All the audio files are embedded (not loaded externally) into the SWF . I tried putting a stopAllSounds(); into the AS which worked great when I pressed stop, but when I pressed play the sound did not resume.

How can I get my sound to resume when I press play? Can you add this feature to this player? I’d be happy to buy it again if you upgrade it.

Thanks! Please let me know.

I figured it out. In each of the swf’s before you call _root.nextswf(); you should call _root.fadeOut(); giving it enough time to fade out completely before reaching the _root.nextswf(); function call.

my main reason for downloading this was for loading an external SWF with a and embedded video or video optimized for progressive download. none of those work.

why?

Hello,

A quick answer would be great. However, a sample external .fla for the loading banner would be better. This would give me the code that goes at the end of the forth slide or any slide.

The problem is I can’t get the last banner to automatically go to the first. Or last slide back without manually clicking.

I have _root.nextswf(); in a separate layer in a key frame. However it does not go to next. I also changed from “3” to….

function prevswf(){ k—; fadeIn(); if(k < total-4){ k=2 fadeIn(); my_loader.loadClip(swiff[k], container);

Am i missing something?

Thanks

Sorry I did not see sample banner fla’s this helps. However, it still does not go from last slide to first on its own.

Thanks

I didn’t see any questions about creating a folder for all the swfs. I hate having them all out in the open with other files. Can i create a folder and then somehow tell it to find that folder in the XML ? How would I do this?

Posted about 1 month ago

This file works great for me inside flash player, but will not work when I test in any browser. Would not recommend.

Hello quikyboy

Do you have an as3 version of this tool?

I want to be able to put swf’s that use as3 into the slideshow.

Thanks

quickyboy This is my second file I bought from you. When test this locally by itself the swf works. When add it to the link below all I see is the spinning load bar. Do you have any suggestion http://www.tradinginsights.co.uk/test/
