Home_btn to reload iOS app is not working???

[emmau10371638]

hello again,

I can't find the solution.

I hope someone can help me because I'm desparate.

I  have a main-SFW within several levels-SWF's.

Now I want on each level a Home_btn so I can reload the app.

Here is my code in some SWF-level:

Home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go_home);

function go_home(event: MouseEvent) {

  var appDomain_1:ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);

var context1:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, appDomain_1);

var loader1:Loader = new Loader();

var file1: File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("main.swf");

loader1.load(new URLRequest (file1.url), context1);

  addChild(loader1);

}

in the main.SWF the level_SWF's won"t open again.

I have included all SWF's in the MainSWF and the main SWF also.

I hope someone can help me.

oops, we failed to add the loadercontext to the load method:

function load_levelF(e:MouseEvent):void{

loader.load(new URLRequest('level'+MovieClip(e.currentTarget).level+'.swf'));

addChild(loader);

}

should be

function load_levelF(e:MouseEvent):void{

loader.load(new URLRequest('level'+MovieClip(e.currentTarget).level+'.swf', loaderContext));

addChild(loader);

}

tnx a lot kglad,

when I put the new code from above I get an error: expected 1 argument.

so I change the code into:

loader.load(new URLRequest('level'+MovieClip(e.currentTarget).level+'.swf'), loaderContext);

it works great. Thanks for that. the go_1 movie clip is working.

But the main question remains:

How to reload my iOS app????????

} else {

current_level=1;

goF(current_level);

}

is not working.

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #3764: Reloading a SWF is not supported on this operating system.

[kglad]

does your go_1 button appear when you expect?

[emmau10371638]

yes the button appears on the Ipad. But when you click on it I get  when in the debugging screen the error above:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #3764: Reloading a SWF is not supported on this operating system.

[kglad]

that's disappointing but this might be a work-around.  you'll need to explicitly stop all streams (eg, sounds & video) in your loaded swfs.

stop();

import flash.display.MovieClip

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.system.ApplicationDomain;

import flash.system.LoaderContext;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.display.Loader;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var current_loader:Loader;

var current_level:int = 1;

var num_levels:int = 10;

var loaderContext: LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);

loader.addEventListener('level_completeE',level_completeF);

goF(current_level);

function goF(n:int):void{

for(var i:int=0;i<num_levels;i++){

this['go_'+(i+1)].visible =false;

if(!this['go_'+(i+1)].hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN)){

this['go_'+(i+1)].level = i+1; // assuming these are movieclips

this['go_'+(i+1)].loader = new Loader();

this['go_'+(i+1)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,load_levelF);

}

}

this['go_'+ n].visible = true;

}

function load_levelF(e:MouseEvent):void{

current_loader=Loader(e.currentTarget.loader);

if(!e.currentTarget.loaded){

e.currentTarget.loaded=true;

current_loader.load(new URLRequest('level'+MovieClip(e.currentTarget).level+'.swf'),loaderContext);

}

addChild(current_loader);

}

function level_completeF(e:Event):void{

removeChild(current_loader);

current_level++;

if(current_level<=num_levels){

goF(current_level);

} else {

current_level=1;

goF(current_level);

}

}

tnx again kglad,

thanks again you are very helpful. I have only  a question about the loader , I got the error:1120

error :1120 actionscript 3 use of undefined property loader.

when I declare the loader. var loader=new Loader(); the error disappears  but then

this.parent.dispatchEvent(new Event('level_completeE',true)); on the levels.SWF

didn't work.

There is a conflict with the loader(s). I don't know how to fix that.

Debugging  on ipad and computer it doesn't give a report.

Do you know what the problem is?

p.s. i have stopped all actions eg sounds on the last frame levels.

[kglad]

use:

stop();

import flash.display.MovieClip

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.system.ApplicationDomain;

import flash.system.LoaderContext;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.display.Loader;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var current_loader:Loader;

var current_level:int = 1;

var num_levels:int = 10;

var loaderContext: LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);

loader.addEventListener('level_completeE',level_completeF);

goF(current_level);

function goF(n:int):void{

for(var i:int=0;i<num_levels;i++){

this['go_'+(i+1)].visible =false;

if(!this['go_'+(i+1)].hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN)){

this['go_'+(i+1)].level = i+1; // assuming these are movieclips

this['go_'+(i+1)]._loader = new Loader();

this['go_'+(i+1)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,load_levelF);

}

}

this['go_'+ n].visible = true;

}

function load_levelF(e:MouseEvent):void{

current_loader=Loader(e.currentTarget._loader);

if(!e.currentTarget.loaded){

e.currentTarget.loaded=true;

current_loader.load(new URLRequest('level'+MovieClip(e.currentTarget).level+'.swf'),loaderContext);

}

addChild(current_loader);

}

function level_completeF(e:Event):void{

removeChild(current_loader);

current_level++;

if(current_level<=num_levels){

goF(current_level);

} else {

current_level=1;

goF(current_level);

}

}

[emmau10371638]

oh oh i'm here again on the forum.

This code (above) and the code above this code gives the same problem.

The dispatcherEvent doesn't work.

The debug gives no report. not on the ipad. not on the computer.

[kglad]

use the trace function to make sure that the loader is dispatching the expected event.

[emmau10371638]

hello kglad,

tnx!!

The trace function didn't work. I'm also worried about unloading SWF's.

In connection with the slowness app.

[kglad]

why didn't the trace function work?  did you use debug>debug movie>via connected usb?

show the trace code and the code near the trace.

[emmau10371638]

The dipatcherEvent don't work.

the debugsession gives no reply.

why isn't trace code working in your main (loading swf)?

ie, did you this line execute:

trace('testing trace',this);

I'm sorry i made a mistake:

hello kglad tnx a lot voor code.

it works. Tnx for that!

But I have 2 problems:

1-when the  last level turn to level1 again, he stops at the last frame of level1 with the "score" of that level.

2-because there isn't a unload function the app becomes slower and slower.

I'm trying now to fix the problems. But I haven't not yet a solution.

[kglad]

on the last frame of your loaded swf's, explicitly stop any running processes (eg, enterframe loops).

use:

stop();

import flash.display.MovieClip

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.system.ApplicationDomain;

import flash.system.LoaderContext;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.display.Loader;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var current_loader:Loader;

var current_level:int = 1;

var num_levels:int = 10;

var loaderContext: LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);

goF(current_level);

function goF(n:int):void{

for(var i:int=0;i<num_levels;i++){

this['go_'+(i+1)].visible =false;

if(!this['go_'+(i+1)].hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN)){

this['go_'+(i+1)].level = i+1; // assuming these are movieclips

this['go_'+(i+1)]._loader = new Loader();

this['go_'+(i+1)]._loader.addEventListener('level_completeE',level_completeF);

this['go_'+(i+1)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,load_levelF);

}

}

this['go_'+ n].visible = true;

}

function load_levelF(e:MouseEvent):void{

current_loader=Loader(e.currentTarget._loader);

if(!e.currentTarget.loaded){

e.currentTarget.loaded=true;

current_loader.load(new URLRequest('level'+MovieClip(e.currentTarget).level+'.swf'),loaderContext);

}

MovieClip(current_loader.content).gotoAndPlay(1);  // or use gotoAndStop(1)

addChild(current_loader);

}

function level_completeF(e:Event):void{

removeChild(current_loader);

current_level++;

if(current_level<=num_levels){

goF(current_level);

} else {

current_level=1;

goF(current_level);

}

}

[emmau10371638]

hello kglad,

The code works great, tnx a lot!!!!

The only thing that rest is the

problem that the app becomes slower and slower.

There isn't a unload code.

I am afraid that it is the one or the other for iOS.

[kglad]

are you stopping all the running processes in the loaded swfs?

[emmau10371638]

i have to check my code again!!

is the problem solved when the running processes are stopped??

[kglad]

i don't know.

you'll need to find the reason a swf that's removed from the stage is still using cpu.

[emmau10371638]

oke tnx!!

[kglad]

you're welcome.
