Load swf at last frame

[chandranoel]

Hello,

I have several swfs that are meant to be read in order (like a book). I can load the previous swf but I need it to go to the the last frame. Can this be done with the code I have?

lastPage2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_1);

import fl.display.ProLoader;

var fl_ProLoader_1:ProLoader;

var fl_ToLoad_1:Boolean = true;

function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_1(event:MouseEvent):void

{

  if(fl_ToLoad_1)

  {

  fl_ProLoader_1 = new ProLoader();

  fl_ProLoader_1.load(new URLRequest("CEAS_I_1_16.swf"));

  addChild(fl_ProLoader_1);

  }

  else

  {

  fl_ProLoader_1.unload();

  removeChild(fl_ProLoader_1);

  fl_ProLoader_1 = null;

  }

  fl_ToLoad_3 = !fl_ToLoad_1;

}

you need to use a complete listener and then direct the loaded swf to its last frame. because i never found a use for proloader, i use the loader class:

var loader:Loader=new Loader();

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadcompleteF);

loader.load(new URLRequest('CEAS_I_1_16.swf'));

var loadedSWF:MovieClip;

function loadcompleteF(e:Event):void{

loadedSWF=MovieClip(e.target.loader.content);

loadedSWF.gotoAndStop(loadedSWF.totalFrames);

}

[chandranoel]

Thank you but how does that work with the back button to call this?

[kglad]

add the loader.load code to your listener function

[chandranoel]

I'm not sure what you mean. It's already in the code.

[kglad]

copy and paste the problematic code.

[chandranoel]

Thank you so much for your help. I'm so lost now. I've started over a few times.

lastPage2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_1);

var loader:Loader=new Loader();

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadcompleteF);

loader.load(new URLRequest('CEAS_I_1_16.swf'));

var loadedSWF:MovieClip;

function loadcompleteF(e:Event):void{

loadedSWF=MovieClip(e.target.loader.content);

loadedSWF.gotoAndStop(loadedSWF.totalFrames);

}

[kglad]

use:

var loadedSWF:MovieClip;

var loader:Loader=new Loader();

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadcompleteF);

lastPage2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_1);

function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_1(e:MouseEvent):void{

loader.load(new URLRequest('CEAS_I_1_16.swf'));

}

function loadcompleteF(e:Event):void{

loadedSWF=MovieClip(e.target.loader.content);

loadedSWF.gotoAndStop(loadedSWF.totalFrames);

}

I did already try that and I get an error:

Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

[kglad]

that's not the code you posted.

use the code i suggested.

if you get a null object error with the code i posted, double check the path/name to your loaded swf.

[chandranoel]

It is the correct path. Still same error.

[kglad]

if that's your only code, lastPage2 is undefined.

if you have other code, click file>publish settings>tick permit debugging.  retest.

the line number with your undefined object will be in the error message.

It doesn't work at all but I was able to find a different code you suggested on another thread: Going to specific frame of external swf

This worked!

var loadmod2:Loader;

lastSection.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadlast);

function loadlast(e:MouseEvent):void

{

if(!loadmod2){

  loadmod2 = new Loader();

loadmod2.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadCompleteF);

}

  loadmod2.load(new URLRequest("CEAS_I_1_16.swf"));

}

function loadCompleteF(e:Event):void{

  addChild(loadmod2);

  MovieClip(loadmod2.content).gotoAndPlay(33);

}
