Can anyone solve this issue?

Report · Jun 07, 2011

Hi All,

I have an application, which loads FlashPaper files. I am loading the flashpaper.swf into main.fla. The main.fla is using Actionscript 3.0.

At the same time the flashpaper.fla is scripted in Actionscript 2.0. Within flashpaper.fla, I am loading the actual flashpaper content (FPDoc.swf) and using the following script to load it.

loadFlashPaper("FPDoc.swf",600,400,100,0);

Later, I am using the following script to load the flashpaper.swf in to main.fla.

removeLoader();
var loaderObject:Loader =new Loader();
loaderObject.name="FPLoader";
var URLPath:URLRequest=new URLRequest("flashpaper.swf");

function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
    var printHolder:String=String(event.target.content);
    if (printHolder=="[object AVM1Movie]") {
        loaderClip.addChild(loaderObject);
    }
}
loaderObject.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,complet eHandler);
loaderObject.load(URLPath);

function removeLoader():void {
    if (loaderClip.getChildByName("FPLoader")) {
        loaderClip.removeChild(loaderClip.getChildByName("FPLoader"));
    }
}

I am having more than one main.swf and I am loading it into index.fla alternatively while the user clicks on some menu buttons.

Everything works fine, if we loads the same file. If we loads any one of another main.swf alternatively, the BLACK SCREEN is appears in front of the loaded flashpaper content.

Let me know why it’s happening. Pleases can I have the solution for same.

Thanks,

If the loading of the other content involves other code, then you should be showing that other code if that is where the problem arises.

Hi Ned Murphy,

Thank you very much for you response.

I didn't get exactly what you are trying to say.

Hi,

The code which I is used to load multiple main.swf is slightly modified here, the logic of the script is show below,

private var _loaderSWF:loaderSWF;

private var fileCount:Number=1;

_loaderSWF=new loaderSWF(loaderSWFHolder);
_loaderSWF.unloadSWF(loaderSWFHolder);
_loaderSWF.loadSWF"main"+fileCount+".swf");

_loaderSWF.addEventListener("SWFLoaded",completeHandler,false,0,true);

private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
SWFContainer=SWFHolder.getChildAt(0) as MovieClip;
_loaderSWF.removeEventListener("SWFLoaded",completeHandler);
}

Hi Ned Murphy,

The same kind of problem happened to some of peoples. I found them while searching the solution on internet.

What specifically is the problem? Is it that the original piece stays in the background or that the black screen should not be a black screen?

Report · Jun 08, 2011

The above image shows the exact problem. The flashpaper content goes behind the black screen. Actually the black screen should not come and its never created by from my side. It created by flash player.

The text visible in the images is the flashpaper content.

I thought you said the black screen comes when you are loading other main swf content after having viewed the Flashpaper section. If that's the case, the black screen is most likely the other main swf that you are loading... and it appears to be failing to load its own content, so that may be where you need to focus your effort--making the black screen display what it is supposed to. I don't see where you do anything to remove the Flashpaper content, so it will remain if you don't unload it.

Hi Ned Murphy,

I am really thankful for your interest in this topic.

As you said, the another main.swf is not different one, its also loads the flashpaper content.

I am having multipe flashpaper document files, for example FPDoc1.swf to FPDoc10.swf.

Then the FPDoc.swf files are loading into flashpaper1.swf to flashpaper10.swf.

The flashpaper1.swf to flashpaper10.swf uses Actionscript 2.0 to load FPDoc files.

Then I am loading flashpaper1.swf to flashpaper10.swf into main1.swf to main10.swf.

The main1.swf to main10.swf scripted in Actionscript 3.0.

Finaly I am loading main1.swf to main10.swf in index.swf.

I am calling the method "_loaderSWF.unloadSWF(loaderSWFHolder);" to remove the already loaded content into"loaderSWFHolder" at every time before loading any one of main1 to main10.

Finally, I never uses Black graphics anywhere in the files. Even the Black screen Width*Height is automatically generated by flashplayer.

Here is the script reference, which is used in index.swf.

private var _loaderSWF:loaderSWF;

private var fileCount:Number=1;

_loaderSWF=new loaderSWF(loaderSWFHolder);
_loaderSWF.unloadSWF(loaderSWFHolder);
_loaderSWF.loadSWF"main"+fileCount+".swf");

_loaderSWF.addEventListener("SWFLoaded",completeHandler,false,0,true);

There is a confusion of loaders that you need to sort out. If the loader in the background should have been unloaded but is not, then focus on getting that working first. Then see about loading whatever other new content afterwards.

Report · Jun 08, 2011

Let me know where is the loding confusion and what to do?

Report · Jun 08, 2011

Don't know if this is related to your specific problem, but this method of clearing children is ineffective:

if (currHolder.numChildren>0) {
    for (var i=0; i<currHolder.numChildren; i++) {
         currHolder.removeChildAt(i);
    }
}

Use this:

while(currHolder.numChildren>0)

{

currHolder.removeChildAt(0);
}
