Inserting Swift 2 Into Flash Movies
Why hello all you flash experts, here is my problem, I can insert my text made from Swift 2 into my flash movie, but it inserts it in such a manner where I cant move it to a certain position in my movie...like, if it inserts it in the top left corner, and I want it in the bottom right, I cant move it. It puts it in like 40 different keyframes, with each letter as a symbol, and I cant move them all and get them just right by hand....WHAT DO I DO, HELP ME PLEASE!

Question About Inserting Multiple Flash Movies Into A Main One
i am having trouble with something. since the size of my site is getting bigger and bigger, i'd like to make the animated background on it a seperate .swf file so that it saves loading times. How is it possible to insert and position a seperate swf movie clip into the main timeline without pressing anything? i hope someone will be able to help me. if my question is unclear, i'd be glad to rewrite it ;-)

and the second thing is making text readable. i know that this is a big issue of flash but by making the text dynamic, it becomes clear. though i'm experiencing something strange: this method works in the first of 2 scenes in my movie (www) but in the second one, when i do the same, it doesn't even display the text at all. not even "unreadable"... can anyone help me?
thanx a lot

Inserting A MC Into Another MC
Problem:

I would like to create a button that when the user rolls over it, a SEPARATE movie clip displays information related to that particular button: i.e Roll over HOME button and on the other side of the movie a sign pops up: "Click here to go home."

I have a quite a bit of info to display, as well as the info will b changing every month so it has to be easily updatable.

Again, thanks for the help.

Inserting The <img> Tag .. . Please Help :(
i've a flash file on my site (http://www.servantmediagroup.com), and in it, I'm calling xxxx_gallery.html on the media link. The html file appears fine, and scrolls as we want it to, but I need to somehow get an image or swf inserted in there to be displayed as well. The image is smg_logo.jpg and swf is butt_gallery4.swf. All files are in the same directory. And the image appears fine when the html page is viewed on its own (http://www.servantmediagroup.com/xxxx_gallery.html). But I just can't get the darn thing to show on the site I've looked up my problem, and know that flash only supports a limited set of tags, and it can only view progressive jpgs. Which I have. It supports the <img> tag along with the src attribute, and I've tried <img src="smg_logo.jpg">, <img src='smg_logo.jpg'>, <img="smg_logo.jpg">, <img>="smg_logo.jpg", <img>='smg_logo.jpg' . .. . I've run out of things to try honestly The field in the flash file is dynamic and set to render html, and I don't think that's really the problem, as the file is being displayed .. . just not the image, which leads me to think it's my tag I'm using Flash MX 2004, and I just don't know what else to do, can someone please please please please help me ???

Inserting Frames?
Hi all. I'm a flash newbie still trying to grasp the basics.

Suppose I have made a simple animation of a square that moves across the screen in 10 frames. I created a motion tween from frame 1 to frame 10, and everything is fine. Now, suppose I want this square to move more slowly.. I want it to take 15 frames to move across the screen. What's the best way to insert frames so that this motion moves more slowly? I can't "insert keyframe" or "insert blank keyframe", those both seem to break the animation.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Inserting Code
I really need to know how to insert code into my movie. I tried to paste it in the "frame actions" but it says I can't.

Inserting Frames
I'm trying to follow the tutorials (on this site and on others) but whenever I'm asked to insert frames, I seem to get confused. An excerpt from the tutorial says:

"Add 40 Frames to the movie by clicking at Frame 1 of the Actions Layer and dragging down to the bottom layer to select the frames and then click F5 to add the Frames"

In their screen capture of the Flash timeline, the last frame (which is 40 in this case) is blank. But when I insert these frames, at frame 40 there will be a rectangle icon instead of being blank like their sample.

I am using Flash MX.

Inserting A Variable
i've been playig around for a few days and i can't figure out how to get a flash variable in to some code i'm using to pop up a window.

on (release) {getURL ("javascript:about=window.open('cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi#variablehere','headline1','left=0,top =0,toolbar=Yes,location=Yes,scrollbars=Yes,status= Yes,resizable=Yes,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus();void(0);");}

i want the variable added to the end of the url in the javascript.
the variable i'm using is _root.link1
i loaded it and some other variables from a text file and i know that it loaded the variables right because i'm using the rest of the variable to effect of parts of the movie.

thanks

Inserting A Condition
getSelection = new Object();
getSelection.onSetFocus = function(oldSel, newSel) {
if (_root.mousePosY>100) {
trace("OVER 100");
_global.lastSel = oldSel;
_global.thisSel = newSel;
_root.lastSel = oldSel;
_root.thisSel = newSel;
}
};
Selection.addListener(getSelection);

With the code above I want to restrict when the code runs depending on the y mouse position. The if condition needs to determine whether Selection.addListener(getSelection); runs I don't seem to be able to add a condition to it!?

Can anyone help me
cheers

Inserting Video
I am VERY new to this and get confused pretty easy, so here it is - I viewed some samples to get some idea of how things wrok. I made a small movie clip of boxes changing colors. I started another movie and added some buttons to go to a frame and stop. OK, my movie clip covers 5 frames - and you probably know what I'm going to say - when a button is pressed the movie clip stops - how do I keep this movie clip looping.

Thanks Tom

Inserting Outside Movie
Hey guys, this one should be an easy one to solve:

I've got an external swf file which I've created to be a component of a larger whole. I've already exported this swf, but I assume it will still need to be in the same folder as files that I've included with it.

I'm now onto making the outside shell of the previous movie file. I'm just wondering how to drop in the previous swf into the shell of the new file by using Actionscript.

I've tried to attach the movie, but it doesn't seem to be working. Also, I need to keep in mind that I will use buttons in the outside shell movie to manipulate the inner movie. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Inserting A Swf Into Dreamweaver
hi all,
i have been experiencing a problem and i can't seem to figure out what is wrong. i have a swf which is functioning perfectly.
when i try to insert it into an html page in dreamweaver, it doesn't work. does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

FYI, the swf calls on another swf through a placeholder. when i insert it into dreamweaver, the main swf appears, but when i click on the button which loads the second swf, it doesn't work. they are both in the same folder though, and it works perfectly in flash. the problem occurs after i import it into dreamweaver. is there something that needs to be done in order for this to work? does the flash need to be saved in a certain way, or inserted into dreamweaver in a specific way that i might be missing?

PLEASE! any help at all is appreciated. i have been trying for almost 2 weeks to figure it out and i need to do it for someone's website. i don't have anyone else i can ask for help with this. thanks so much!
