ActionScript 3.0: using this.root.loaderInfo.loaderURL

with one comment

imagine uploading a preloader.swf and a content.swf to a file archive in a CMS.
embed the preloader.swf on some page.

now you want the preloader.swf to load the content.swf, this can, in some cases, be done with advantage using this:

var _l:Loader = new Loader();
var _locationString:String;
_locationString = String(this.root.loaderInfo.loaderURL);
_locationString = _locationString.substring(0,_locationString.lastIndexOf('/')+1)
_locationString = _locationString + "content.swf"; //the swf here
_l.load(new URLRequest(_locationString));

hope this was useful :)

showcase: Entré, Blue Willis, Flash for education, paintings

without comments

about two years ago I made the first version of this shopping center in Malmo, Sweden, in Flash.
I made it for Dafolo Marketing and TK Development while working at Konceptas.
this Flash should visualize the different shops and stores in the shopping center called Entré and help TK Development with the reservation and rental of the different rooms and shops.

recently I made a lot of updates to this.
not only had this Flash helped TK Development in reserving and renting, it had turned out to be a nice feature for people who considered renting rooms at Entré. by looking at this they could easily look at the competition from other shops and also the placement of these.

take a look at the shopping center Entré in Malmo, Sweden, here

the Flash you see at the link is only with static info, but online it’s with “real data”.
and online, all of the info shown is controlled with this CM System also made in Flash.

here’s what it looks like, when you log in:

and here’s what it looks like, when you’re editing data for a single room for rent:
CM system for Entré Malmo, Sweden

for each room you can change what type of shop you want there, if it’s available, reserved or occupied, how many square meters big it is, and what the price pr square meter is.

this is probably one of the biggest projects I’ve ever made, and though almost 2 years old, I can still look back at it and wonder how I ever managed the lot :D

back in my first days as a multimediadesigner, I made some projects for Blue Willis.
I had to visualize their collections on the internet.

I managed to make this timeline-animated Flash.
the Flash should change the pictures even without interaction, but it should also be possible to interact and choose what to see…

click here to see the Blue Willis autumn & winter collection

the Flash was made together with Baxx Advertising

for Co3 I have made a lot of educational Flash.

check out this Flash that tells about how it is to work with people who has psychiatric problems.

when the intro has been loaded, simply click it and the story will be loaded, a story with speak, timeline and pictures. the Flash is made in using ActionScript 2.0 and Tweener.

the speak is by Troels Møller from Konceptas

last summer, going to Stig Meyer Jensens birthday party, two friend of mine and I had absolutely no idea of what present to give him, the guy already has all the interesting stuff in the world.
so we decided to make a very unique present for him; to paint him some pictures.

no one of us has ever painted before, so obviously this project was a massive laugh.

check out the paintings made for Stig Meyer Jensen here
