Is this possible in any way? I've been trying and trying but can't get anything to work!

menu.swf
content.swf

Thanks in advance.

Loadmovie From Within Loaded Movie
Hi,

I have my main swf called all.swf which contains nav buttons which load an external swf into an empty movie clip:

on (release) {
_root.mtClip.loadMovie("productstoc.swf");
}

This works fine, but in productstoc.swf I have 6 buttons that need to load external swfs into an empty movie clip mtclip2 in productstoc.swf. But this is not positioning to mtclip2 since its replacing productstoc.swf with the newly loaded clip access.swf, so it aligns to the top left of mtclip. This is the code I was using in productstoc.swf:

on (release) {
loadMovie("access.swf", mtclip2);
}

How can I load access.swf in the loaded movie or place in the right position in the main movie relative to mtclip?

Can I load the access.swf in another scene or frame of the productstoc.swf (alreay loaded movie)?

Your help is desperately needed.

Thanks

LoadMovie For Loaded Movie
Hi.

Confusing title, I know. So here is my explanation:
I use loadMovie() to load a few external swf files.
Later I want them to appear in a nested masked MC.

I had a function using loadMovie() in that nested MC,
but the external swf already has to be loaded
(for design reasons).

I wish I could continue using the loadMovie()-function
to load a MC from outside of the stage, but I know
it's only for external files.

How can I solve this problem? I tried to duplicate the
loaded swf into the MC, but I haven't managed it to work.

If you have any idea or hint, please tell me.

Thank you alot!
Best regards from Hamburg, Germany!

Remove Loaded Movie After New LoadMovie Has Been Loaded
i need to unload a movie once the new loadMovie is fully loaded because once i click on my button to do so, my current loaded movie goes away & the screen is white until the new loaded movie is loaded. (i hope that made sense)

LoadMovie And Scroll This Loaded Movie
I load a swf into another swf with loadmovie in a rectangle(for the position ). I would like to know, if it's possible
, if you have a swf(width 200 px, height 800 px), and than you load this movie in a rectangle (width 200 px, height 300 px!!!!), can you scroll this loaded movie with scrollbar?!?!

Loadmovie-action Within A Loaded Movie
Hi,

with a button action I load an external movie into a mc on my stage of my main-mc. The external movie is now on my stage in the target-mc called loader, let us name the external-mc "aboutme.swf". I do have some buttons in the aboutme-mc which do have also a loadmovie-action: They load an external movie into the level 0 of the aboutme-mc. I want to replace the aboutme-mc with some other mc's.
Everything works fine if i open the aboutme-mc and than load with the included buttonn an external movie into level 0, but the problem is, that if I open my main-mc, click the aboutme-button on my main-movie, click also the button in the aboutme-mc everything gets replaced with the external-movie.

Sorry about my english-problems, I hope that you have understand it though.

Why Does Loadmovie Slows Down The Loaded Movie
why does loadmovie slows down the loaded movie?
I have a lil problem here. Whenever i load external swf movie into my placeholder1 and placeholder2 at main.swf, the movie that i've loaded seems to slow down quite a bit.
But if those swf file is playing standalone, it runs smoothly.

Anyone knows why this is happening?
Is it because i've put too many soundobjects or is it the animation?
Any tips for optimisation?

your feedbacks will be greatly appreciated

Resizing A Movie Loaded With LoadMovie()
I'm looking to resize a movie that was loaded with loadMovie() into a movie clip. Once it's finished playing I want it to reduce down in size. Any ideas?

main_Movie is the empty movie clip, its a simple rectangle that is 550 x 400 so it fills the whole stage.

Any ideas, or if you need more info please let me know.

LoadMovie Squishing Loaded Movie
Hi,

Another problem I am having; when I load movie b.swf into movie a.swf, it squishes movie b.swf by 20 pixels vertically.

so when movie b.swf is loaded there's 20 pixels at the bottom where movie a.swf shows through.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks!

Controlling A Movie Loaded With LoadMovie()
Hey, guys! Stumped again. I am trying to load an external .swf file into a clip instance, so that I can move/resize/etc. with AS. First, I make a new movie symbol called "logo" in my main timeline. Then, I use:

logo.loadMovie("myfile.swf");

That doesn't seem to work. I guess my REAL question is: how do you load an external .swf so that you can tweak it with AS?

THANKS!!!!!!!

Resizing A Swf Movie Loaded With LoadMovie
hi,

the following gives some funny behaviour:

loadMovie("li.swf","rect_mc");
rect_mc._width = 50;
rect_mc._height = 50;

button_mc.onRelease = function() {
    rect_mc._width = 50;
    rect_mc._height = 50;
}

the first alteration to _width and _height make the movie a particular size, then when the button is pressed, the movie is made even smaller, but it should be the same (always 50pixels x 50pixels)

any idea why it happens? i have a bigger project where this behaviour is causing some issues.

thanks.

How To Unload A Movie Not Loaded In By LoadMovie() ?
I have a movie clip in my file I do not want anymore after 100 loops.
When I go into the reference, it is said I only can unload movies that were loaded with loadMovie() function.
So what should I do?
It is not sufficient to just put the visibilty to 0.
This movie do some actions I really admire to kick.

btw: onClipEvent( enterFrame ) <- I thought this event cannot be provoked when I stop the animation within the movie

Controlling Movie Clip Loaded With LoadMovie
Hi everybody,

I have some problems controlling a movie clip loaded with loadMovie. When I do the following:

Code:
var mc;
mc = createEmptyMovieClip("someinstance_mc", 0);
mc.loadMovie("someclip.swf");
mc.stop();

So basicly, how do I control a movie clip loaded with loadMovie?

Loaded Swf Movie Wont Play (loadMovie)
I modified Scotty's Finite Menu...

http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthre...ht=finite+menu

and now I'm trying to load it into a movieclip using this code:

loadMovie("tweety.swf", _root.contents.container);

It loads but won't play. I even tried loading it directly in the main movie and it still won't play.

It plays fine by itself.

I have another swf loading into a MC that plays fine.

Is it a preloading issue?

Can anyone shed some light? I would be very grateful...

Addressing The Main Movie Timeline From A Movie Loaded Via LoadMovie.
I have a clip on the main time line of a host movie that I would like to make visible when the second frame of the swf to be loaded, containing an embedded video movie clip loads.

I have this code on the video clip in the movie to be loaded:

code: onClipEvent (load) {
_root.witch_mc._visible=true;

}

Which I had hoped would have addressed the main timeline of the host movie where the targeted clip was – but no joy.

Any help please?

Going To Specific Scene In A Movie, That's Loaded By LoadMovie(...) Won't Work..?
Hi,

I've loaded a movie into another via the 'loadMovie'-Command:

loadMovie ( "test.swf", "aha");

I've got a button in the movie that calls the loaded movie:

on (release) {
aha.gotoAndStop("three", 2);
}

means, I wan to go to scene "three" framenumber 2 in my loaded movie, but it won't work...
Is it impossible to go to a specific scene in a loaded movie..?

(By the way: aha.gotoAndStop(12); works...)

Thanks for fast answers...

OnLoad Event For Movie Clip Loaded With LoadMovie
Here is a basic one (I think).

I load a movie to a pre-existing clip like this.

loadMovie("redcircle.swf",_root.myClip);

..And it works very well. No prob there.
but when I call

_root.myClip.gotoAndPlay(2);

then myClip wont play frame 2.
If put the gotoAndPlay action under a button and wait
just a little while before pushing it then
it plays as it should. So I think there is a delay
while it is loading that makes it impossible to play
a frame in myClip right after I call loadMovie.

My question is: How do I tell my movie to wait until
redcircle.swf has been fully loaded into myClip and
then try to call gotoAndPlay?

LoadMovie : Loaded Movie Contains Scrollpane That Doesn't Work :(
I have a photo gallery which is divided into different sections chosen from a menu. The menu consists of several movieclips within a scrollpane. Each movieclip contains a button which will load a different gallery section into an empty movieclip (empty_clip) on the main stage. This works fine, I pasted the code below:

on (release) {
_root.empty_clip.loadMovie("g_030214.swf");
_root.empty_clip._x=207;
_root.empty_clip._y=112;
}

However, the loaded movieclip ("g_030214.swf") also contains a scrollpane with several thumbnails (buttons). Clicking the thumbnails will display larger versions of the images (each image is located in a different frame within the loaded movie). This is where I have a problem as I can't get this to work.

This is the code for one of the buttons:

on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("feb03_11");
}

When I click the button, nothing happens. "feb03_11" is the frame label containing img11 from this section.

I am quite new to Flash and I suppose I'm just mixing up the terms here, but I really don't know how to sort this out. Can anyone please help me out?

Thanks

LoadMovie And Nested MC's In The Loaded Movie With Timeline Calls To Itself?
i'm sure that title sounds very confusing...

well i'm very confused

so i'm creating a portfolio flash movie. in this movie there is an empty movie clip i use for loading the main sections called content_clip.mc

now at some point content.mc is filled with a portfolio section(portfolio_mc) which has a empty movie clip called holder_big
so bascially WE ARE HERE

_root.content_clip_mc.portfolio_mc.holder_big

now i'm doing a loadMovie call to replace holder_big with an external swf.
holder_big.loadMovie("samples/sample_ten.swf");

this swf (sample_ten.swf)has a bunch of nested movie clips just like the portfolio swf and it's buttons make calls to it's timeline from inside these nested movie clips

ie:
on(press){
_root.nexusClip_mc.sectionSwitch ("sec2");
_root.sectionChoice = "menu";
}

now if i load this movie clip up in a level in portfolio_mc...these calls all seem to work. BUT I need to load it into holder_big because holder_big is in the right position and it is being masked and i'm also scaling the loaded movie down to fit via some script that is dependant on the holder_big MC.

the problem is when i load it up into the holder(holder_big) none of the button calls work.

Do I have to change the dot.path of the button calls in the loaded swf, if so any ideas as to what?
Or is there something else i'm missing.

hope this is explained well enough
thanks for any help

[MX04] Loadmovie-- Actionscript Goes Wacky On Loaded Movie If User Reloads
I'm having an issue with loading a .swf into an empty movieclip. It loads when a button is pushed, however the problem occurs if the user hits the load button again. This sends the actionscript on the movie being loaded to act really weird and do some odd things.

simple actionscript for the button:

on (release) {
_root.holder.loadMovie("newimages/swing/swing1.swf");
}

Should I maybe do a loadMovieNum? and resort to levels? Or is there some script that will unload the movie and then reload it when pressed to get a "clean" version?

(I'm unsure if it makes any difference, but the actionscript on the movie being loaded is all on the first frame and uses mx.transitions.)

When Are LoadMovie()s Loaded?
Hello all. I've created a preloader in a seperate swf movie. In scene 1, frame 1 of my main movie I have the preloader swf playing using loadMovie().
What I'm wondering is: Will the preloader be the 1st thing loaded because it's on frame1,scene1, or does that not apply to externally loaded movies?
Thanks for any help!

Loadmovie Only If It Is Not Currently Loaded

on(release){

........if.........

}

need help with the middle lol...anyone? I'm kind of low on time so anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated.

LoadMovie Only If It Is Not Currently Loaded
I have a problem with my "buttons" as the load an external swf. If the button is pressed many times in a row, the movie starts to continually load over and over again like it is stuck in a loop (yes there is a stop command inside of the swf). It only does this when the buttons are pressed too fast.

I have a scripted mc to act like a button, here is it's action:

mind.onPress = function() {
activitybutton("mind", mindtxt)
activitiestxt ()
bringIn();
}

The functions are loaded in from an as file here:

function activitybutton (swfname, txt) {
imageLoader.Alpha = 100
patio.easeX(925, 1.09);
VIP.fadeOut(5);
maui.easeX(-100, 1.09);
con.easeX(925, 1.09);
bar.easeX(1000, 1.09);
discover.easeX(975, 1.09);

//Fade text boxes out
valettxt.fadeOut(5);
itinerarytxt.fadeOut(5);
groundtxt.fadeOut(5);
diningtxt.fadeOut(5);

mindtxt.fadeOut(5)
nauticaltxt.fadeOut(5)
scenictxt.fadeOut(5)
terrtxt.fadeOut(5)

function Pause() {
infoField._visible = true;
//load swf
imageLoader.loadMovie(swfname+".swf");
//Bring text box in
(txt).fadeIn(5);
clearInterval(PauseInterval);
}

PauseInterval = setInterval(Pause,1000);
};

function activitiestxt (){
mind.easeY(500, 1.09);
scenic.easeY(500, 1.09);
nautical.easeY(525, 1.09);
terr.easeY(525, 1.09);
};

function bringIn(){
imageLoader._alpha = 100;
infoField._alpha = 100;
logo.easeX(700, 1.09);
logo.fadeIn(5);

};

LoadMovie From One Into Another Already Loaded
I'm being redundant here, posted this question in this thread as well:

http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s...d.php3?t=64971

but here's my issue again:

I am attempting to load a movie clip (or jpg) into a separately loaded movie clip, into another already separately loaded movie clip. I am unsure of what or how I should have the target written, or if its even possible.

I have two clips I have loaded with:

ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("Sep1.swf", 1);
loadMovie("Sep2.swf", 2);
gotoAndStop("showing");
}

this works well, but i want to have a button in the one movie (Sep1.swf) that will load another movie (or jpg) into the other loaded movie (Sep2.swf). Is this possible? Appreciate any assistance with this, thanks,

LoadMovie, If Not Already Loaded

LoadMovie - Any Way To 'wait' Until .swf Is Loaded?
Hi,

I have a flash movie that allows users to upload images (1-3) in a square format and then the server converts them to .swf files.

Once the images are uploaded, the main Flash movie loads them into (1-3) thumbnail mc's.

I'm having trouble because the thumbnails are 130 x 130 pixels, and the .swf files I'm uploading could be much larger. When I upload a .swf file, the size takes on the new .swf file's size, and doesn't keep the size of the original mc.

I can resize them, but I need to wait until the new mc has completely loaded. I tried the onClipEvent(data) event, but that fires when a portion of the new .swf file begins to upload, it doesn't behave like loadVariables().

Is there any way to wait until the mc is completely loaded before firing off an event or function?

Thanks,

LoadMovie- How Do You Detect If Its Loaded
Please Help!

I am loading a movie into a level and when it's loaded in, I want it to go to a certain frame.

I used

loadMovieNum ("green.swf", 1);
tellTarget (_level1.gotoAndStop(2))

It seems to load the movie but not go to the frame 2.

Should I try to detect to see if the movie is loaded then tell it to go to frame 2? If so, what would be the code?

Thanks

Bytes Loaded From Loadmovie 2
This is the pre-loader routine:

if (_root.holder.getBytesLoaded()<_root.holder.getByt esTotal()) {
_root.progress = Math.round ( ((_root.holder.getBytesLoaded()/_root.holder.getBytesTotal())*100));
if (_root.progress >= 100) {
_root.progress = "00";
}
gotoAndPlay (_currentframe -1);
} else {
gotoAndStop ("idle");
}

When I place this in a movieclip that is loaded by another movieclip, it works fine and the variable 'progress' advances normally. However, when I place this EXACT routine in a loop on the _root timeline, the progress variable remains at 0 until the clip is completely loaded, then it returns 100. It appears to be a limitation within Flash 5. Does anyone know of a solution that will allow this routine to reside in the _root movieclip and retrieve the bytesloaded properly from a loading movieclip?

How To Re-size An Swf Loaded With Loadmovie()
hi
I'm loading an swf into an mc called "pictureClip1" and the name of the swf to be loaded is a variable "arrPicture[0]" which comes from an array made from external data.
The swf to be loaded is too small and, as there are 200 of them, i'm trying to find a way of making the swf bigger when it's loaded.
The loading code is in a frame in the main timeline - so i need to be able to target the swf from the main timeline (and not from within pictureClip1). This is my code so far

loadMovie("swf/"+arrPicture[0], _root.middleMenu.pictureClip1);

could you help me out please :-))
