LoadMovie Not Working In MX?
I'm a fairly experienced Actionscript User since Flash 4 and I've used external swf files in Flash 5 for many projects. But since I've upgraded to Flash MX I haven't been able to get a single one of my external swfs to load!

They work just fine inside of the Flash authoring environment. But once I publish the file and stick it inside of HTML it doesn't seem to work. The files just don't load. I've read about there being security issues that hault Flash from loading a swf if it thinks it is not in the same domain. Does anyone know what's going on and how I can get around this? Even a simple script like:

createEmptyMovieClip("contentClip",0");
contentClip.loadMovie("test.swf",0);

Works fine until I load it into an HTML file. Can someone throw me a bone here?

LoadMovie Not Working. =(
hey there!

ok, i have a main flash movie with buttons that do that nifty loadMovie thing (to call up the the sub-pages only when needed, etc.). works great in the flash player/preview stage.

however, when i put the main movie onto an html page, the loadMovie function no longer works -- you can press the buttons all day long, but no sub-movies come up. =(

here's my code:

----------
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(433);
loadMovieNum("web.swf", 1);
}
----------

(the gotoAndStop is so the main movie can go to a clear frame w/ no text on it so that the sub-movies aren't displaying on top of the main movie's text; i've tried it w/o that part, but it still doesn't work.)

i'm sure this is just a simple little thing to fix, but it's getting on my last nerve! =) any suggestions? (keep in mind... i am NOT a programmer, and i know very little about action scripting. yes, yes, shame on me.) =P

thanks!

Loadmovie Not Really Working.
I have a website in which pictures need to be seen. The pictures are dynamic and need to be loaded each time. There is a set of 10 where when you click the pictures they get bigger.

My problem is when i try to load the pictures into the thumbnails, it is very inconsistant in how or when it loads. I have tried everything, and i cant post the fla because it wouldnt work, for my code is all over the place.

Also, sometimes when i aparently have the right code all 10 load at a time, but then when you resart the program they dont, and they will only load on everyother load of the movie...How do i fix that?

Thanx much

Loadmovie.swf Not Working
I used

Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("video.swf", 2);
}

to load a movie, as I did many times. The name of the movie IS video.swf and it IS on the same root as the movie who is calling for it. As I gave up trying to understand whats going on, I though of usuing getURL. Do you have any suggestions? Any ideas for this starnge behaviour?
Thanxsinadvance

Loadmovie Cause Swf Non-working
I'm using the news ticker from - http://www.j-ink.com/interact.html - and I managed to get it to work when i 'test movie' by itself.

However, when i try to load it as an external swf like - loadMovie("tickers.swf", 2) - it won't work.

I can't figure out why. I've tried changing _root to something else but it doesn't work.

LoadMovie Not Working...help?
I have a sub-movie(level1) loaded into my main movie(level0). I'm trying to load a movie (lionism_nav_menu.swf) into a movie clip instance (nav_box_mc) on my level1 movie. It just won't work.

Here's what I'm typing, on the frame at which time I want it to load (in the timeline of the level1 movie inside the text_mc movie clip):

loadMovie("lionism_nav_menu.swf", nav_box_mc);

I've also tried as many variations as I could think of:
loadMovie("lionism_nav_menu.swf", "nav_box_mc");
loadMovie("lionism_nav_menu.swf", this.nav_box_mc);
loadMovie("lionism_nav_menu.swf", this.nav_box_mc);
loadMovie("lionism_nav_menu.swf",_level1.root.text _mc.nav_box_mc);
loadMovie("lionism_nav_menu.swf","_level1.text_mc. nav_box_mc");
loadMovie("lionism_nav_menu.swf",_level1.text_mc.n av_box_mc);
nav_box_mc.loadMovie("lionism_nav_menu.swf");
etc...

Can someone help me figure out how to get this working? I can't use the loadMovieNum fuction because of the way my clips and masks work.

Thanks

LoadMovie Not Working
Hi,

I don't get this working. Probably something real stupid but I've been looking for quite a while now.

-> new project
-> frame 1:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1);
_root.holder.loadMovie("sharky2.jpg");

-> put image (progressive jpg) sharky2.jpg in the same directory

and nothing is displayed. I know it found the image, since there are no error messages and when I change the name in something that doesn't exist it does give an error.

thanks in advance!

LoadMovie Not Always Working
I have a main movie which has 7 frames with a stop action on each. When a user clicks a button (1-7), the playhead goes to the respective frame and stops. On each frame, a movie is loaded using loadMovie:

//
loadMovie("numberOne.swf", "slides");
//

When I test it locally through the swf player, it works perfectly all the time. When I test it in a browser, it doesn't always load the movies into the stage... often, I have to click each button twice to get it to work. I don't know what to do now!!!

FYI, I'm publishing them to Flash 7, and none of the swf files are bigger than 60k or so.

Please help if you think you might know the problem! Thanks!

LoadMovie Not Working
Hi

I am using Flash CS3 Professional, and loading the data(text and images) from XML, when i publish the swf the text and image comes in fine, but when i view the swf in HTML, only text appears but the image is not loading up.

For reference, the code in XML and AS is below:

Quote:

<spotlight>
<event>
<heading>NATGEO Wild</heading>
<subheading1>Experience the natures wild side</subheading1>
<subheading2>only on SC 1</subheading2>
<picture>/img1.jpg</picture>
</event>
</spotlight>

AS:

Quote:

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.heading = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.subheading1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.subheading2 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
heading.text = _root.heading;
subheading1.text = _root.subheading1;
subheading2.text = _root.subheading2;
loadMovie(this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue, _root.picture);
} else {
trace("file not loaded!");
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("event.xml");

Can anyone point why is this happening??

Thanks

LoadMovie And Png's Not Working?
Hi,

I am trying to load an external png file into a blank movieclip using the following code:

Code:
on (release) {
this.shirts_blank.loadMovie("solid_ss_green.png");
}
but it is not working?

Does the loadMovie not support png's? or is there any reason why this would not work? i need to use png's as i need transparent images.

Thanks for reading

LoadMovie Not Working
I created a test document to load an external swf with imported video and sound. My test document works fine, but when I copy the code, button and movie clip into my final movie it doesn't work.

I'm stumped. Everything is in the same directory test fla, referenced swf and final movie. The only difference is additional code for other buttons in the final document.

LoadMovie Not Working On Mac
So I've just written this puzzle designer program which uploads a picture with a php page and then passes the name of the pic to flash with a get variable. Flash then loads the picture with loadMovie on the load event of a mc. This works great about 99% of the time on two PCs. On the mac, it's only loading some of the images. Here is my link:

http://www.picstopuzzles.com/puzzle2...00r7677678.JPG

On that puzzle, there should be 11 squares that have some brick picture on them and one blank square. On the mac, only some squares get loaded. Delaying the loading of the pictures doesn't seem to help. I also tried stalling between the pics and that doesn't work either.

The puzzle designer basically does the same thing with an uploaded picture passed with a get variable, but it only loads the one picture. It doesn't ever load on the mac. Even when I delay the load. Here is the main link:

http://www.picstopuzzles.com

I've definitely come up against the limit of how many things Flash can do in one frame, but this is something different. I've tried staggering my load many different ways, but I'm not getting any different results. I'd be happy to post some of my code, but I know there is nothing wrong with my code. My code works great on these PCs. Is there something I don't know about how loadMovie works on a mac?

LoadMovie(url) Only Working Once
Hi,

On a certain action I'm attempting to load a movieclip 'zoomImage' as follows:

zoomImage.loadMovie(url);
trace("URL: "+url);
trace("zoomImage.+_url: "+zoomImage._url);

where url is something like:

myImageServer?swf=zoom.swf&img=50232101z.fpx

This URL returns a zoom.swf as a response, by which the user can zoom in and out of the image indicated by the img variable.

This loads the movie inside it's parent correctly the first time. However if the same action is repeated and the image variable is changed, a request to that URL is never sent (I verified this through Tamper Data), and the swf returned from the last request is loaded.

At first I though this was a caching issue, but the img variable is different, a therefore so is the URL. My debugging output from the second attempt was interesting (maybe):

URL: myImageServer?swf=zoom.swf&img=50232101z.fpx
zoomImage._url: myImageServer?swf=zoom.swf&img=50231901z.fpx

Can anyone make any sense of why the URL isn't requested the second time? If it is caching, how can I fix it? (I've tried adding a 'nocache=randomnum" variable to the URL).

Thanks in advance...

LoadMovie(); Not Working...
ok, I have external swf's being called up via

loadMovie(); method.

I created the flash files on a PC I then brought the files over to my mac and now for some reason the swf is not being called up anymore.

it keeps telling me the path is incorrect. This is impossible because all of the files are in the same directory.

Is this a flash bug? or does mac save these files differently?

LoadMovie() Not Working
Hey, I have used this preloader and load method countless times and now it's simply not working properly or at all.
the first time the action is called by a button on the stage bytesLoaded equals bytesTotal so it decides it's 100% and moves on, but actually nothing happens, then once this action is called a second time both variable are 0 so it loops indefinitely.

in this case wBG equals a swf and the path is correct. I tried using _lockroot but i don't think this is the issue here

Any help would be highly appreciated
(See code attached). Thank You!

Attach Code

function loadStuff(){
this.artLoaded = this.artTotal = this.artPercent = 1;
myBG.loadMovie(wBG);
//----Preloader Functions----
if (wBG != null) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace("loading "+myBG._width);
this.artTotal = myBG.getBytesTotal();
this.artLoaded = myBG.getBytesLoaded(); trace("L: "+artLoaded);
this.artPercent = (this.artLoaded/this.artTotal)*100; trace("%: "+artPercent);
if(this.artLoaded < 1 || this.artTotal < 1){this.artPercent = 0;}
this.loder.bgPer.text = Math.round(this.artPercent) + "%";
this.loder._visible = true;
if (this.artPercent > 99) {
delete (this.onEnterFrame);
this.loder.myPercent.text = "0%";
//this.loder._visible = false;
}
}
}
}

LoadMovie Not Working?
I'm trying to use loadMovie for a MC/Button inside my movie. And it doesn't want to work.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I would be so grateful if someone would take a look at my code for me.

So I have 6 MC's on my stage. These 6 are all the same (same symbol) But each one is named different starting from item1 to item6.

So inside each of these 6 MC's are a few frames with a jpg's on each frame.

Now I don't want these jpg's to be part of the main movie, as this makes my movie size too large. So what I need to do is loadMovie each JPEG.

SO at the moment I have some AS on each of these 6 MC's, and this AS dynamically tells each MC which frame to stop on.

the jpeg on each frame is a button with an MC inside it.

SO now I tried to put something like this on the MC inside each button

onClipEvent (load) {
this.loadMovie("pic10.jpg");
}

But this doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

I would be so grateful for some help or tips or anything. Thanks

Loadmovie From Different Directory Not Working
I have a projector that uses many external file that load in during playback. I want cahnge the root movie to another swf files in a differnet directory that have many external swf files that it loads as well. Here is my problem: on the button that links to the other swf files, I use the following code:

on (release) {
unloadMovieNum (0);
loadMovie ("../implement/implement.swf", 0);
}
This takes me to the correct file and it begins to play. When it gets to a loadMovie command in the new swf, it cannot find the swf files for that movie. I assume that is because it is looking in the previous directory for them. What can I do?

Loadmovie Not Working On Published Web:(
Hello All,

I currently have a presentation where I am loading the images seperately inside a BlankMC on my main timeline. The image is in a SWF file that I call with the loadmovie.

If I run the presenation from Flash, it works fine, it loads the appropriate SWF file from the same directory that the main FLA is in. I am also using absolute URLs to ensure that it is pointing to the correct directory.

When I view the published site, the SWF file never shows up when called. I do not get an error but no image shows.

Could someone please help?

Thank you,

Preloader Not Working With LoadMovie
Although I think of myself as a newbie (I've only been using Flash on and off for 3 years), I'm not sure if this question is appropriate here.

I'm optimizing a Flash file made by someone else. Basically, he had one huge file that didn't preload anything. Furthermore, the content is separated into two main groups (teachers and students), but it loads the whole thing. The problem, clearly, is that teachers will load student content they don't need, and vice versa.

To get around this, I broke the file up into 3 .swfs: an interface .swf (where a user can select either "teacher" or "student"), and then separate .swf's for the teacher content and the student content. Currently, the way it's setup, when someone clicks on a button, the file uses the loadMovie action to load the appropriate .swf.

This all looks fine on a broadband connection, but I noticed when I tested on a dial-up modem that the separate preloaders I made for the "teacher" and "student" movies don't startup. Instead, I get a blank screen for a few precious seconds, and then the movie starts, skipping the preloader. My guess is that Flash Player is loading the WHOLE .swf first, and then playing it, and when it runs into my preloader actions on the first few frames, it sees that the entire .swf is already preloaded and plays the regular movie.

Is there a way to get straight to get Flash to show the preloader? I'm assuming the problem is with my Actionscript, so here are the appropriate snippets:

loadMovie stuff:

on (release) {
loadMovie ("stud_opt.swf", "_root");
}

preloaders inside student and teacher .swf's:
Note: A separate layer has a "Loading Content" message.

Frame 1:
play();

Frame 2:
ifFrameLoaded (235) {
gotoAndPlay (4);
}

Frame 3:
gotoAndPlay (1);

Frame 4:
play();

Why Is LOADMOVIE Not Working In SCENE ?
Hi,

I'm making a popup jukebox tab to play MP3s while user is surfing various pages. I'm authoring the popup tab jukebox in its own scene called TAB.

For some strange reason I can't get LOADMOVIE to work in that new scene.

I've followed the same procedure that I always have, ie.
1. Making a Movie Clip called "Empty",
2. placing "Empty" movie clip Instance on stage (within this TAB scene) where I want the LOADMOVIE (in this case frame 5), and
3. then adding the action scripting to the button that I want to activate the MP3's as follows:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
loadMovie("letter.swf","EmptyInst");

}

Why is this not working? If I create the same actionscripting etc in a separate file (level 0), everything works fine, but it doesn't work when I create it in a new "Scene".

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me here!!!!

When LoadMovie Is Working On Pc, But Not On Server?
Hi people,
I've got a weird problem here...

A friend asked me to create a little banner-rotating application in Flash that changed the banner every X-amount of seconds. The application loads external swf's from the same folder of the main swf.

When I was done making it, I tested it on my own pc. Everything worked well, I even made an advanced output menu that tested the thing on Simulate Download and it seemed ok.

Now when I upload all the files and test it, it's not working. The output menu shows that an external txt (holding some variables) is loading, but that the swf doesn't even start loading (made a simple output showing the bytes loaded). Strange thing is, when i try to open the swf files directly, I can open them without any problems.

What could be causing this?

Thanks in advance,
SaphuA

PS: I'm using his ftp to test, so I know nothing about it's settings or anything.

I have a mixer that loads 4 sounds into 4 mc holders. Then I've used actionscript with a knob to control the pan of each sound. It works great on it's own, but when I export the mixer.swf and try to load it into my main movie using loadMovie in an empty mc, the pan won't work. The sounds play, the volume sliders will work, but not the pans.

Here is pan script for my sound instance "soundtrack":

onClipEvent(load){
maxRotAngle = 120;
this.rotbutton._rotation = _root.soundtrack.getPan() * maxRotAngle/100;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (rotbutton.dorotate) {
_root.soundtrack.setPan(Math.floor((this.rotbutton ._rotation/maxRotAngle*100)));
}
_root.sovolume = _root.soundtrack.getPan();
_root.dialangle = this.rotbutton._rotation;
}

Am I missing something with the _root or something?

Rick

LoadMovie() Function Not Working
I am trying to make a new layout for my website. My website has flash movies I made. I want to make a flash menu, that plays my movies. I am currently using the code:

on(release){
_root.watch.loadMovie("http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles/penguinflash/andyandjake.swf", "_root.watch")
}

and the movie is not loading... before, I used the code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this.loadMovieNum("http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles/penguinflash/andyandjake.swf", 0)
}

and with that, it loads my movie, but the frame I made disappears. So, neither of my codes work. Can someone please help me?

LoadingScreen Not Working (loadMovie)
Let me try and make this not confusing for you all reading this:

My problem is that I have a main timeline right now with 3 frames. These all have other MC places on them

Frame 1-MC of a animation
Frame 2-Animation does something with a navigation bar appearing
Frame 3-nothing much right now

On my navigation I have a actionscript that tells my animation to do something if it is a first time click, otherwise do something else. I have this working. My problem is when they click that button, I want to load in a external .swf file to load in a "loadingScreen" and I am not able to get this to work correctly. I have tried many things and all ends in frustration.

Here is what I have tried. Placing the loading screen mc with a instance name 'screen' on the timeline that holds the navigation, and I have also thrown the loadingScreen on the main timeline as well. I have tried a few ways to call it;

_root.contactInfo.loadMovie("fade.swf" , "screen");
------contactInfo is the MC of the loadingScreen which I know shouldn't work and it doesn't (At this point I have the loadingScreen on the main timeline)

_root.screen.loadMovie("fade.swf" , "screen");
-----screen is my instance name of this and I thought this would work, but it never does a thing. (At this point I have the loadingScreen on the main timeline)

And I have tried this:
loadMovie("fade.swf" , "screen");

Doesn't work. My fade.swf is in the same folder, so I am not sure why I can not get this. Something small and dumb I am sure.

Thanks in advance

Loadmovie Not Working If .html In Sep. Dir.
Hello:

I've got a movie "loader.swf" which loads to other movies "movie1.swf" and "movie2.swf".

Everything works great until I moved all the .swf files into a folder "flash".

Now, when you open the .html .... it calls the loader.swf movie just like it should,,, it plays fine..... .BUT when the loader movie goes to load in either "movie1.swf" or "movie2.swf" they will not load.

If you go ahead a move the .html file into the same directory as the .swf files (and of course change the embed/param paths to reflect that)... then it works fine again.

the loadmovie actionscript path is relative within the same directory so there should be no reason to change the loadmovie script.

thanks for any help

Actionscript Not Working When Using LoadMovie
I have a movie clip button that calls the code below. My problem is that when it loads the external swf, it doesn't execute the actionscript within that swf.

Code:
function showLeftMenu(mItem) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("lc", 300);
lc.loadMovie(mItem+".swf");
}

When I test the external swf alone, the actionscript works fine. Is there something i'm doing wrong? I'm fairly new actionscript. Thanks!
