Help Trigger External Movie To Load From Button In Another External Movie - Stuck
I really hope someone can help me!!!
I am loading movie C.swf into movie B.swf which gets loaded into movie A.swf the main movie. All loading works except C.swf has buttons that need to trigger another movie E.swf to load into A.swf and that is not working!!!
Here is the structure I am using:
A.swf (main final movie loads B.swf on start)
B.swf (loads main nav C.swf and scrolls it infinitely)
C.swf (main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav E.swf to load into A.swf)
E.swf (sub nav with buttons that trigger F.swf to load into A.swf)
F.swf (scrolling images of portfolio)
The actionscript I am using for the button in C.swf to trigger E.swf to load into the main movie A.swf is:
metals_mc_bn.onRelease = function() {
reActivateMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(3);
this.enabled = false;
loadMovieNum("E.swf", 1); // trigger sub nav E.swf to load into A.swf
};
I am so stuck with this and seems so simple a problem, but I'm just pulling hairs out at this point, can anyone please help me!

How To Load An External Movie Using A Link Within An External Swf - Urgent
Hi all
Flash CS3 but coding in AS2 - mac.
I believe I have asked this question before but i was using loadMovie() - I am now using loadClip and the MovieClipLoader class and obviously I have managed to break something.
I have a number of external swfs which load fine, with preloaders using MovieClipLoader, into an empty MC on the stage called holder_mc. In one of the external swf's, there are two links to separate external swf's - if you click on either of them, the current swf is unloaded and the new one is loaded. I used:
Code:
myButtonWithinSwf.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.loadMovie("newMovie.swf");
}
However now that I am using a different code (because before, evrything wasnt preloaded, i just had a white space until it appeared) the code within the swf obviously has to change. The only problem is, I cant for the life of me work out what it is, I have tried all sorts of combinations and probably missed the most obvious one. I do not want to create empty movie clips, I want the movie to load into the MC which I have defined - holder_mc - and usually I would tell it to unloadClip() before loading the new one, but it cant load a new one if it has unloaded itself. I hope that makes sense!
This is the code I am using on the main timeline to control the preloading of the external swf's:
Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadStart = function() {
holder_mc.stop();
};
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip, loadedBytes:Number, totalBytes:Number) {
pleaseWait._visible = true;
var preloaded:Number = Math.floor(loadedBytes / totalBytes * 100);
preloaderMC._visible = true;
preloaderMC.loadText.text = preloaded.toString() + "%";
preloaderMC.loadBar._yscale = preloaded;
};
loadListener.onLoadInit = function() {
preloaderMC._visible = false;
pleaseWait._visible = false;
holder_mc.play();
};
/**** register listener object with MovieClipLoader object ****/
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
anotherButton.onRelease = function() {
mcLoader.unloadClip(holder_mc);
mcLoader.loadClip("anotherMovie.swf", holder_mc);
}
my preloader is called preloaderMC and pleaseWait is just a movie clip that is placed on the other side of the screen for another reason. loadText and loadBar are the dynamic text and loading bar within the preloaderMC.
I really hope someone can help me ASAP as this was all working before with loadMovie() and now suddenly I cant get it working!
Thanks in advance

External Movie Will Not Load, But Does Load When I Use 'test Movie'?
I had my external movies loading wonderfully then all of a sudden one of the externals (that I use 'loadmovie' on) will not load? The weird thing is that when I test my movie using 'test movie' in my main movie, it works fine, but when I go to my staging (test) site: www.gbebos.com/Liz/Hit.htm the one movie in 'Earth elements' page will not load, but the other movies i.e. 'Crystal Elegance' and 'Silver Essence' work fine. I made sure that the .swf and .html were transfered to the domain and they are both there.
Any help for this newbie would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again to ya all at Flashkit!

I Cant Seem To Load An External Movie, Within An External Movie That Has Been Loaded
Ok. I created a button.. and added a behavior that loads an external swf into a movie clip. Now the external swf movie that loads into the mc also has a button that loads a second exteral movie. Nesting several movies swf files in the main movie.
http://www.dondi.biz/newsite06/ (click on portfolio)
When I view the final movie. It only loads the first external movie showing the buttons (web, Print etc.). But when I click on the button it doesnt load the third movie.
but when I view the second movie it loads it just fine when not nested in the first movie. http://www.dondi.biz/newsite06/portfolio.html it loads just fine.
Can I not nest these movies together to work just fine? Why is this so frustrating? Can anyone help me please?

That External Movie Would Load Only Once
Situation:
Button has an action - play. It plays until gets to keyframe that asks external clip load into empty clip. Then in the next keyframe it stops. What kind of action tells the keyframe to load that external clip only once, so when playing next time the same keyframe it wouldn't load the same movie again.

Why Won't Movie Load External SWF?
I'm having trouble getting a movie on an HTML page to load another external SWF movie. I don't think the problem is the actionscript, because it works when I view the movie in only flashplayer. It's only when the movie is on my webpage that it doesnt work. All I get is a blank white space that says "movie not loaded" when right clicked. All the files that I used are in the same folder on the server. The actionscript loads between two movies randomly. Here's the actionscript:
var basename = "TNE";
var totalmovies = 2;
var movietoload = basename+Math.ceil((Math.random()*totalmovies))+". swf";
_root.loadMovie(movietoload);
Please help, because I've been looking for days.

Load An External Movie
I am not sure if I titled this question right but here goes the question.
I have a slide show of 15 image. All the images preload and play. when the slideshow reaches the last frame I start another swf slide show with the actionscript below.
I also have next and back buttons on my slideshow. When they are being used the slideshow moves 1 image at a time using the buttons. So if I am at the end of the first swf slideshow STOPED, and hit next I need it to load the next swf and stop at a perticular framelabel (gotoANDstop "position1").
How do I load an external movie and have it gotoandstop at a certain framelable I think is what I am asking.
//load Movie Behavior

External Movie Load
Hi,
I'm trying to do something that should be really easy... and it seems not to be for me, at least, so i was searching for some help.
I've got a website, with a menu of rollover. When i click in one of the 5 options i made it go to a certain frame labeled by myself.
In this frame i wanted to read an external file with a preload included in it. The real problem is that when i enter that frame, if tries to read the file, but it backs up to the 1st frame on the website (which is an intro).
I would like to ask, if someone could give a hand with this. it's really important to fix this up and finish this work, i should already have ended.
Thanks for any help given!
All the best!

Is It Possible To Load An External Movie....
Is it possible to load an external swf within the main swf with a html url in flash.
Like this:
myHTML+= "<br><p class = 'content'>Don't forget to check our <a href = 'portfolio_menu.swf'>PORTFOLIO</a> section to see the work we made.</p>."
The point is that the external 'portfolio_menu.swf' must be placed in a _MC in the main SWF. Is this possible? And if this is the case, where should I place the code to direct the 'portfolio_menu.swf' in the MC > 'main_content' in the main swf.
In AS I normally write:
("portfolio_menu.swf", _root.main_content)
Ok I hope I explained this well, if not let me know !!
thanx in advance!

Load External Swf Into Movie Clip
Is there a good tutorial somewhere for this?
I am apparently doing something wrong.
I get the external swf to load but it takes the size of the main movie when the ext is only 1 inch by 1 inch.
I don't know if I'm making my MC wrong or loading the external swf wrong. A tutorial from creating a movie clip to loading external swf would be great. Have searched for 5 days and needed it it 2 weeks ago, PLEASE HELP

The external .swf files were made with Swish.
If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Load XML And External Movie Problem
Hi,
I want to load an XML-file in an external movie.
I'm loading the data from the XML-file in a temporary textfiled on the _level0 movie.
The external movie (_level3) has a dynamic textfield that is equal to the temporary one on the _level0.
Now, when the _level3-movie is loaded it should show the text, but it doesn't (when seen on the web; it works local). I'm quite sure that the XML on the _level0-movie is not loaded in the textfield before _level3 is loaded. (so the script that says: "_level3.TheTextField = _level0.TheTemporaryTextField" comes before any data is in the temporary field.)
My question now:
how can I make my script (in _level3) wait until the temporary _level0 textfield is loaded with XML-data?
I hope this makes sense?
Thankx in advance

Load External Movie And Go To Frame 1
Hi there
I have a movie clip that loads an external movie clip as follows:
on (release) {
loadMovie("xxx.swf","_root.holder_mc");
}
Now what I would like to do is instead of loading frame 1 of that movie clip I would like it to load frame 2... is that possible?
See, what I am trying to do is that I have a menu with three buttons. buttons 1,2 and 3. When you click on button 1, it should load frame 2 of movieclip1.swf and go to frame 10 of movieclip2.swf and movieclip3.swf. That way you can navigate between the three menu options loading the movie clip you clicked on and unloading (by going to an empty frame 10) of the other 2 unclicked movie clips...

External Movie Load Problem
I seem to be having an issue loading external .swf files into movie clips.
The movie works fine until I add the script to load the external files. As soon as it get's to the frame where the script is located the movie just skips back to frame "1" and loops and doesn't load the external files.
There are 4 movie clips which all have a unique instance names(empty1 through empty4)and the action script is as follows
loadMovie("sec_one.swf","empty1");
loadMovie("sec_two.swf","empty2");
loadMovie("sec_three.swf","empty3");
loadMovie("sec_four.swf","empty4");
I've also tried this as well
empty1.loadMovie("sec_one.swf");
empty2.loadMovie("sec_two.swf");
empty3.loadMovie("sec_three.swf");
empty4.loadMovie("sec_four.swf");
I've used both of these scripts before and have never had a problem.
Any suggestions as to what may be the problem?

How To Load External Movie Or Swf Files
Hi
Well here goes, just finished designing my first site for work and im pretty happy with it except for one thing...its too large at 1.6mb and taked too long to load up.
The main problem is the portfolio section which has 10 movies with scrolling images and this taked up about 98% of the total file size.
Is there some way that i can get the site to load up and then when u press the button for avionic projects it loads up the avionic movie?
I've managed to get it to load up external text files using the loadvariables command, but I need some help to do this with movies. And will this make the site load quicker and just take a few seconds for the individual files when they are required rather than loading them all up at once?
Hope someone could help me as I'm nearly there with it
Thanks for help on this
