works in Flash but not on device

[ash allen]

Hi - I have an app working in flash but when I deploy to a device only the first swf loads then unloads and nothing else happens.  I'm not sure how to debug what is happening on the device.

 

I am loading several swfs using loadermax - some of the code is below and I will note where it stops working:

 

Grateful for any advice, am currently thinking of starting again without using GS code to see if I'm doing something wrong in there.

 

Thanks.

 

private var swfs:LoaderMax = new  LoaderMax({onComplete:completeHandler,onProgress:progressHandler,onChildComplete:childCompleteHandler});

 

private function buttonListeners():void
        {
            homePage_mc.start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadswfs);
        }

        //LOAD MOVIES;

        private function loadswfs(event:MouseEvent):void
        {
            swfs.append(new SWFLoader("Movie1.swf",{container:this,autoPlay:false,width:480,height:480,x:300,scaleMode:"proportionalInside"}));
            swfs.append(new SWFLoader("Movie2.swf",{container:this,autoPlay:false,width:480,height:480,x:300,scaleMode:"proportionalInside"}));
          // there are 8 more swfs loaded this way

            swfs.load(true);
            loadMovie1();
           homePage_mc.start_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadswfs);
        }

        private function loadMovie1():void
        {
            swfName = "1";
            trace("Movie1");
            currentSWFLoader = LoaderMax.getLoader("Movie1.swf");
        }

        private function loadMovie2():void
        {
            swfName = "2";
            currentSWFLoader = LoaderMax.getLoader("Movie2.swf");
            trace(currentSWFLoader.content);
            initCurrentSWFLoader();

           //  this swf doesn't start playing on device - it does in Flash
        }

        //SWF LOADER EVENTS;

        function progressHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void
        {
            progress_mc.scaleX = event.target.progress;
            trace("progress: " + event.target.progress);
        }
        function childCompleteHandler(e:LoaderEvent):void
        {
            trace(e.target + " loaded");
            e.target.content.visible = false
        }

        function completeHandler(e:LoaderEvent):void
        {
            trace("all loaded");
            progress_mc.visible = false;
            initCurrentSWFLoader();
        }
        function initCurrentSWFLoader()
        {
            currentSWFLoader.content.visible = true;
            currentSWFLoader.rawContent.gotoAndPlay(1);
            trace(currentSWFLoader.rawContent.name + "playing");
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, trackSWFPlayback);
        }

        function trackSWFPlayback(e:Event):void
        {
            if (currentSWFLoader.rawContent.currentFrame == currentSWFLoader.rawContent.totalFrames)
            {
                removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, trackSWFPlayback);
              switch (swfName)
                {
                    case "1" :
                        currentSWFLoader.content.visible = false;
                        currentSWFLoader.rawContent.stop();
                        loadMovie2();
                        
                break;
  
                    case "2" :
                        currentSWFLoader.content.visible = false;
                        currentSWFLoader.rawContent.stop();
                        loadMovie3();
               break;
                    }
                
            }

        }

Not sure what to tell you here. If the code works in Flash then there aren't any syntax issues. 

 

I can only imagine that your device can't handle memory or processor demands of your child swfs. I would make really really simple swfs that only contain a singe shape for movie2.swf, movie3.swf, movie4.swf etc. If those super simple swfs work than perhaps you can find ways of optimizing for your device.

 

With the information provided that's the best I can think of right now.

Hi - thanks for the suggestion, I will give that a go.
