Load and Unload multiple SWFs

[Guest]

Hello everyone...

This is my biggest problem in Animate AS3 ever. So the problem is-

I have 8 SWFs which have separate topic in each and one main SWF file and i want to connect all of them together like-

Firstly i open Main SWF then it shows all the 8 topics name with each button. i used script from code snippets which is 'Click to load/unload SWF' and i assigned all the SWF as it required to open. I have created a button in each SWF to go back to main SWF using same code as i mentioned.... It is working properly but i realized that each time i click to open new SWF, it overlape on old one and when i open multiple times all SWFs, it become very heavy and get legging and hangs very much, consumes more memory...

So what can i do to load new SWF and unload all previous SWFs by clicking on same button in each SWF ???????

Please give some idea with whole script which i have to paste with button name and file name(u can assume any button name and file name).

As i don't have enough knowledge about writing manual code.

Please give some positive response.

Thanks....

use one loader for all your loads (eg, loader) and use:

if(loader.content){

loader.unloadAndStop();

}

loader.load(new URLRequest(whatever));

Sir,

Thanks for your reply... But can you please give detailed script for just one file ???

[Guest]

I mean, full script... Not just a part....

remove the code in your loaded swfs that unloads them.

in your main swf youl would use something like:

var loader:Loader=new Loader();

addChild(loader);

// if you're using movieclip buttons topic_0, topic_1 etc to load swfs topic_0.swf, topic_1.swf etc

for(var i:int=0;i<8;i++){

this['topic_'+i].ivar=i;

this['topic_'+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadF);

}

function loadF(e:MouseEvent):void{

if(loader.content){

loader.unloadAndStop();

}

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

}

These are the actual files which you can see how is it working...

So when i open again and again these files it gets heavier and lags...

please describe code....

[kglad]

use the code i suggested.  change button names and swf names to match the code, or change the code to match your button and swf names.

[Guest]

i pasted the code but nothing happen... Please describe me where i have to paste button name and SWF's name?

:

var loader:Loader=new Loader();

addChild(loader);

// if you're using movieclip buttons topic_0, topic_1 etc to load swfs topic_0.swf, topic_1.swf etc

for(var i:int=0;i<8;i++){

this['topic_'+i].ivar=i;  // this['topic_'+i] are your button names

this['topic_'+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadF);

}

function loadF(e:MouseEvent):void{

if(loader.content){

loader.unloadAndStop();

}

loader.load(new URLRequest('Smart Achivement'+MovieClip(e.currentTarget).ivar+'.swf'));

}

It's showing this error....

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

at SmartAchivment_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

I pasted this code-

var loader:Loader=new Loader();

addChild(loader);

// if you're using movieclip buttons topic_0, topic_1 etc to load swfs topic_0.swf, topic_1.swf etc

for(var i:int=0;i<8;i++){

this['button_2'+i].ivar=i;  // this['topic_'+i] are your button names (Button Name which i have to press to go to other SWF =button_2

this['button_2'+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadF);

}

function loadF(e:MouseEvent):void{

if(loader.content){

loader.unloadAndStop();

}

loader.load(new URLRequest('Index'+MovieClip(e.currentTarget).ivar+'.swf'));     (SWF name which is Main SWF, i have to load = Index.swf)

}

your button names are incorrect.

do you have movieclips named button_0, button_1 etc?

[kglad]

and what's ButtonHome supposed to do?

[Robert Mc Dowell]

a little suggestion, GreenSock is a wonderful library to load multiple swf with maximum of optimization

[Guest]

'ButtonHome' will load main SWF.

[kglad]

again, remove the code in your loaded swfs that unloads them.
