I´m a noob and I´m using AS2 because I found “behaviors” (only available in AS2 I guess) very handy to use to do the “go and stop” function without the need to write the code. I guess I´m going to switch to AS3 now.

Thanks a lot for your time!

And, since you were kind enough to stop by and thank me, I’m gonna give a you a link to easiest way to deploy an unlimited number of UILoader popup without ever dragging the component to the stage or typing more that a couple of URLs handle and load as many external files as you want. This guy’s approach is nothing short of ingenious. And so darn simple it startling. But you gotta know AS3 pretty good and think like a computer to come up with stuff. I don’t.

Thanks again. I have some other techniques I want to put up here, but my clients think there stuff is more important than me tinkering with this blog.

He uses Loader, not UILoader, in his example, but I’ve deployed successfully simply by substituting UIloader in his code. Keep in mind that when you call UILoader to the stage with AS3, you have to import the UILoader class in your script:

import fl.containers.UILoader.;

Whoops, I forgot the URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hAIW0ppDww

import fl.containers.UILoader;

var myLoader:UILoader = new UILoader();

//Now define the your first myLoader instance

//position on the stage
myLoader.x = 200;
myLoader.y = 200;

//size
myLoader. w = 200;
myLoader.h = 200;

//content to load
//text, SWFs, JPG and so on

myLoader.source = filename.swf

//many, many properties you can assign

//load UIloader

addChild(myLoader);

and there are zillions of ways to load it, unload, and us it.

Check out this video. He uses Loader, but it will work exactly the same with UILoader.

thx for your time!!!!

I have all done that, but still it doesnt work.

I have double checked it…

Still it is getting orpheuscreations.jpg instead of fortunarepublica.jpg

Hope u can help me more

Make sure you have the right file called out in “source” in Component Inspector. Also, with this method you’ll need a separate frame and script for each button and instance of UILoader. The scripts need unique instance names and function names.

Hope this helps.

Let me explain it in better words.

On frame 1 I have different set of buttons like orpheus creations button, fortuna republica button, and so on. I have created on frame 120 the UIloader with source orpheuscreations.jpg to hit on frame 1 button orpheascreations. On frame 121 I have created the UIloader with source fortuanrepublica.jpg to hit on frame 1 button fortunarepublica.

When I test the movie, and hit the button fortunarepublica I get orpheuscreations.jpg instead of fortunarepublica.jpg. I have looked into all the variables, but everything is okay.

So how can I fix this problem? So when I hit the button fortunarepublica to show fortunarepublica.jpg?

Is this more clearer? or do u need to see my .fla? I can send it if you want. Because I cant figure it out.

Thx!

I have created in frame 1 different buttons like orpheus creations, fortuna republica button and so on. On frame 120 i have created the UIloader with source orpheuscreations.jpg to hit button orpheus creations on frame 1. On frame 121 i have created the UIloader with source fortunarepublica.jpg to hit button fortunarepublica on frame 1.

When I play the movie and hit on button fortunarepublica I get image orpheuscreations.jpg in stead of fortunarepublica.jpg.

How do I fix this? So fortunarepublica button shows fortunarepublica.jpg?

Is this more clearer? If not I also can send the .fla file, so you can see it yourself?

I have a Q, i am putting different popups in my flash, this in the same frame. When i repeat the process for new buttons.

The uploader is giving me the same jpg file i have from the first sett up. I have changed the source in each frame, but this is giving me the jpg from the first sett up.

How do i fix this? So i can have from each button a different jpg.

SoundMixer.stopAll();

will stop sounds. Place it directly below the gotoAndPlay() action.

I want my pop up window to pop up a streaming video. However, when I use the “close button,” the pop up closes, but the streaming video keeps playing (can hear the audio.) Is there code that could be added to the “close button” that would also command the streaming video in the pop up to stop playback?

Thanks in advance for your help!
