Fri, 15 Jun 2007		 Well the scenario is simple,

I have 1 main file 2 sub main files and 7 content files (all these files are swf files). The first file called main.swf contains a code that loads the 2 sub main files the header.swf and the loader.swf, the header.swf have buttons that call function to loader.swf to load a content file with transaction. Anything goes fine until I realized that the transaction not working after refresh of browser (I disabled the cache) this problem comes when I load loader.swf through main.swf, loader.swf works perfect as external file.

Main.swf Frame 1:

stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
_global.path = '';
_global._footer_depth = 1;
_global._main_depth = 2;
_global._hader_depth = 3;

// Load Header
//loadMovieNum(_global.path+'header.swf', _root.getNextHighestDepth());
this.createEmptyMovieClip('_header', _global._hader_depth);
_header._x = _header._y = 0;
var header_loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var header_listener:Object = new Object();

header_loader.addListener(header_listener);
header_loader.loadClip(_global.path+'header.swf',_header);

header_listener.onLoadComplete = function(_header:MovieClip, status:Number):Void
{
// Load Main
_root.createEmptyMovieClip('_main',_global._main_depth);
_main._x = 0;
_main._y = 197;
var main_loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var main_listener:Object = new Object();

main_loader.addListener(main_listener);
main_loader.loadClip(_global.path+'load.swf',_main);

main_listener.onLoadComplete = function(_main:MovieClip, status:Number):Void
{
/*
// Load Footer
_root.createEmptyMovieClip('_footer', _global._footer_depth);
_footer.loadMovie(_global.path+'footer.swf');
_footer._x = 0;
_footer._y = 700;
*/
}
}

Loader.swf Frame 1:

var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var load_listener:Object = new Object();

load_listener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void
{
ef.startEffect();
};

loader.addListener(load_listener);


var _Load = function (m:String):Void
{
loader.loadClip(m, _c._cont);
};

var _Trans = function (m:String):Void
{
loader.unloadClip(_c._cont);
ef.reverseEffect();
ef.onReverseFinished = function ():Void
{
loader.loadClip(m, _c._cont);
}
}

_Load('home.swf');

Mon, 18 Jun 2007		 Hello,
Regarding you second post: in order to have masking on a dynamic text field you need to embed the fonts.
Regarding you first post: It will be great if you can send us the FLA file with the issue via support (at) extendstudio (dot) com

Cheers,
Catalin Serban

Tue, 19 Jun 2007		 Hi, I’ve send you by mail a zip file that contains the fla files their swf and an index.html file. The problem is that when I launch the index.html file the transition works fine but when I refresh the page the transition stop working.

The subject of email is "Transaction not working after reload" and the attachment called "Transaction not working after reload.zip" (3MB).

Regards, Panos

Tue, 19 Jun 2007		 Hi there,

We have received your email and sent you back the fixed files.

The problem was that you called evrithing „MovieClipLoader .onLoadCoplete�. As it states in the Flash Documentation, under MovieClipLoader the difference between MovieClipLoader.onLoadComplete and MovieClipLoader.onLoadInitis that the onLoadComplete event is called after the SWF, JPEG, GIF, or PNG file loads, but before the application is initialized, and the onLoadInit is called after the content is loaded and fully initialized. Also the MovieClipLoader.onLoadComplete uses a HTTP status code and that is the reason why it had’t worked after refresh (i gues it had been worked if it were on a server). In most cases is better to use onLoadInit.

Tue, 19 Jun 2007		 Thanks for your reply, truly onLoadInit made thinks work like a charm, I really didn’t knew its existing :P (Just starting with AS, I’m from JS/PHP world :P) but I’ll get used to ;)

Thanks again.

PS: I didn’t receive any reply at my email, but it’s ok I solve the problem thanks to your reply ;)
