Load Movie Make It Go To Specific Location
I'd like to load a movie (separate file) into an existing file, but I'd like to make it go to a specific location within the loaded movie. Example: I have a home page file that has thumb nail images that I'd like to lnk to respective portfolio pieces from another file.Is this possible to do with ActionScript?

Load Movie To Specific Location
I'm using a load movie function to load an external swf file. The size of the external file is smaller than the mother file. So I want this file to load up in a specific spot in the flash movie, which is inside another instance in the mother flash file. How do I go about doing this??
As of know the load movie just pops up in the top left corner of the main movie.
Thanks

Load Movie Make It Go To Specific Frame

Load .swf To A Specific Location
Hi all. Having a problem loading an external .swf to a specific location in AS3.
This ia the code I am using currently.
"
function iGoogle(event:MouseEvent) {
trace("you clicked me");
var loadit = new Loader();
addChild(loadit);
loadit.load(new URLRequest("get_this_info.swf"));
}
igoogle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , iGoogle);
"
I have tried to create a blank movieclip (info_space) and load it into there but I think AS3 is a bit different and can't get it to work. (see below)
"
function iGoogle(event:MouseEvent) {
trace("you clicked me");
var loadit = new Loader();
addChild(loadit);
loadit.load(new URLRequest("get_this_info.swf", "info_space"));
}
igoogle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , iGoogle);
"
If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. Would love to know how to load to specific x/y coordinates too if you know how.
Thanks in advance!!!
Returning A Movie Clip To A Specific Location
Hello,
I have a movie which allows people to drag and drop multiple objects - one at a time - into a target area. The objects are all Movie Clips. If the user drops an object into the target area then it stays there, but if they drop it outside the target area then it automatically jumps back to its original (set) position outside the target area.
What I would prefer is if the Object could smoothly glide back to its original location rather than the sudden jump. It would be even better if it could set off really quickly and then gradually slow down to stop in its set position.
Any help or advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

How To Load Specific Frame Of Specific Movie On Another Layer

Load Image In Specified Location In Movie
Perhaps a simple request. How do I open an image(jpeg or gif) from a URL upon opening of a HTML web page and place it in a specific location in my flash movie. Here's a glimpse into the twisted mind a hopeless dreamer. Picture this, a flash animated "TV"(basically a border for my image), with a blank screen, now when the user rollovers on this sed "TV" a side screen sides out from behind this "TV" and displays text that describe that image you just moused over. I lack in displaying the image and text. Here what I need...
Upon opening of HTML page: (underlined I need help with)
- Start flash displaying a "TV" like image box w/ a jpeg or gif
loaded on the "screen" of the "TV"
- When the user mouse overs the "TV" or image a side screen slides
out and displays text to describe the image in the "screen"
of the side screen and the side screen retracts when the
user mouses off the "TV"
- When the user mouseclicks on the "TV" it opens another page,
but not a new window.--i can do this normally but not sure
I can still when i learn to open that image in the "TV"
Any thoughts?
Load Movie Into Location .swf Files
Hiya,
I would really appreciate some help - I've set up a background menu system for my website which loads different sections saved as .swf files.
Buttons are:
On (Release)
Load Movie (vstory.swf)
End on
I've stored all swfs in the same folder as the background movie and am loading the files in level 1 (assuming that the background movie is level 0). My variables are set to "don't send".
I"m still in Flash 4 and am having huge problems getting this to work for me. It says it can do it in the help section.... but won't work for me.
Could it be to do with the fact that my background menu system is an "Instance Movie" within another "Instance Movie" in this background swf?
Thanks sooooo much for your help. I'm pulling my hair out on this one!!
THANKYOU!!! :-)
Lydia :-)
Button Needs To Load Movie But Also Specify Controller Location
I'm tryin to reduce the file size of my web site and as such need to put most of my info on seperate swf's usin loadmovie to load them in. The buttons presently have this code:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(85);
_root.controller1.targXpos2=1650;
}
on(rollOver){
_root.controller1.targXpos=182;
}
with the controller values being different for each button.
My question is is it possible to open the swf then direct the controller?
e.g
on (release) {
loadmovie{content.swf,1}
// (would not need this code) _root.gotoAndStop(85);
_root.controller1.targXpos2=1650;
}
on(rollOver){
_root.controller1.targXpos=182;
}

Download To Specific Location
If you read my last thread about a voice controlled site, then you already know my problem. I need to know how to make certain files go to a specific place on a visitor computer. I need them to go to a certain file in their liberary automatically after they hit a link to download the files. Just like when you download an upgrade or software from the net.
Do I need to use an Installer Maker Application, like the one made by StuffIt? Or do I need to use a powerful script like Perl or XML?
Please help!!!!!!
Thanks fellow Flashers!

Loading From Specific Location
I have looked for this (so you don't think I was lazy) and only found like 2 articles on it. And they weren't really answered. Plus this is a really stupid question. I have multple files and folders (about 100) and would like to organzie them nicely instead of one big happy family. Only problem is that when I call the files from a specific folder(easy ), it never works! It only works if I call it directly from the website(pain ). Can someone please explain this.
Thanks always!!!!!

How Do I Make A Specific Frame Of A Movie Clip Display?
I have a project for which I'm making subtitles for the narration, with the ability for the user to turn them on or off.
I made the subtitles, covered them with a rectangle the same color as the background, and made a button which toggles between "SHOW TITLES" and "HIDE TITLES" -- when "SHOW TITLES" is selected the rectangle becomes invisible so you can see the titles, when "HIDE TITLES" is selected the rectangle hides the titles. The default is for the rectangle to be visible and the titles, therefore, hidden. (A script in the first frame sets the visibility of the rectangle to false)
The problem is that the project is organized into 8 separate scenes, and so when it goes to a new scene, it was reverting to the default. So, I had the button create a variable, and then put a new script in the first frame of each new scene that checks for that variable and shows or hides the titles as required. So now the titles stay visible or invisible, but when it goes to a new scene the wrong button is displayed (the "SHOW" and "HIDE" buttons are in a 2-frame movie clip)
How do I make the proper button show up?
There must be a script to have the movie clip display a specific frame, but I don't know what it is.
Thank you!

I want to load a movie clip into a flash file that is day specific. Actually, since it is for a nightclub..... I really don't want the next days file to switch until 2 AM. So I want the Thursday night file to appear on thursday at 2 am and stay until Friday at 2 am....and so on.......
Of course if I can just make it work until midnight....I can live with that.
I'm sure there are older posts with this info, but I can' t seem to find them. Any answers or just being pointed in the right direction would be great.
Thanks alot

Streaming From A Specific Location Within A File
Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie here so please be patient if this is a trivial question.
What I need to know is the following: can I start streaming a video/audio file from a specific location (like a timestamp) with Flash Media Server?
More precisely, the idea is this: I want Flash Media Server to establish a connection with another server (remote server) to receive some information like a file name and a time stamp. After this I want Flash Media Server to start streaming (to a simple client, like always) that file from that specific moment indicated in the "packet" it received from the other server. Can this be done? Is it hard?
Thank you so much,
Francesco.
Loading An External .swf In Specific Location

I Need To Make A Movie Continue Playing When A Specific Value Is Put In A Text Field
Hello board,
I'm using Flash 8 Professional and publishing for Flash player 7 (movie will run within a Director MX 2004 Projector).
Anyway, the movie that I'm doing is a simulation of a process for a pharmaceutical company. Employees need to scan the barcodes in a form and that part is done. However, the next step requires them to enter a value in a text field. I put a stop action on the specific frame, then I dragged the text field component to where I need it, but how do I tell it to send a play(); action to the timeline once a specific value is entered and enter is pressed? The value is 389518.R02 if that helps.

How To Load A Movie To Specific Place?
Hello - I am a Flash 5 user. What I'm trying to do is to load a separate Menu movie into my 'home' movie. The Menu movie is about 80 wide by 225 long. I want it to load into the upper right corner of the Home movie, which is 550 pix long and 390 wide. For various reasons I want to load it there in the current dimensions, rather than expanding the Menu movie to 550 px and moving the Menu MC to its right corner. Make sense? Is there anyway to load a movie into another and specify the coordinates/place you want it to load to in the lower movie? Thanks for any help -

Load A Movie In A Specific Frame Different To First
PLEASE HELP - load movie and go to frame..
After not-sleeping 5 days I still can't figure out why this doesn't work..
loadMovieNum("oblikovanje.swf", 0);
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
What I'm trying to do is just load another .swf from this (empty) swf with only this actionscript inside. It opens "oblikovanje.swf" but it never goses to frame 2. As I have put an empty frame and stop(); in the first frame of oblikovanje.swf it shows only blank page. I need this stop action becouse I preload all my swf-s earlyer.
Load Movie Into A Specific X Y Position
How's it going everyone? I need to know how to load a movie into my main SWF file at a certain X Y position.
Here's my problem:
I have my main template file & I need to load a slideshow into it at a certain X Y position. My "temporary" solution is to simply make the slideshow the same size as the main file & load it via getmovie. Like I said, that's great for a "temporary" solution. But I will soon be using SWISHpix for all of my slideshows. So, I need to know how to load my slideshow into a certain X Y position. I have tried to create an empty movieclip and just load the movie into that, but to no avail.
Any ideas?
[F8] How To Load Movie To Specific Keyframe?
Hey there, good people of the Flash-world!
I need some help with finding the right actionscript... (I'm trying the newbies-section as well)
Basically, I have assigned a LoadMovie, level 0 -action to a button in my swf. However I want the new .swf to start at frame 27, not 0. I feel that there must be a simple way of doing this?
I have tried:
on(Press){
LoadMovieNum("people.swf",0)
_level0.gotoAndPlay(27)
}
But it doesn't work.
I've been searching and searching, but maybe anyone of you brilliant people have a tip for me? It would be much appreciated!

I am loading an external movie and I want it to load an specific frame (start) of that movie right after loading.
I am using this

_level1.gotoAndPlay("start");
}
But the movie keeps on loading on the first frame, not on the "start" frame
Help here...

When I want to "come back" from this movies to the main movie, I need to move the header to a specific frame of movieA, diferent depending on the movie I have previously loaded:
movieA: loadmovie (movieB, movieC, movieD...)
from movieB: loadmovie movie A (frame2)

from movieD: loadmovie movie A (frame4)
Is it possible or when you load a movie you can only start playing in frame 1? Any hint? Thank you
