LoadMovie Target Vs. LoadMovie Level
can someone please explain to me why when I load an external movie as a target, the action scripting in the loadedmovie doesn't work.

LoadMovie Calling MC With LoadMovie Problem
I am loading a movie clip into a target MC on my timeline and it works fine, but the movie clip that I'm loading in is also using loadMovie to load a movie into a MC on it's own timeline. For some reason, the MC that is getting loaded doesn't load the MC it is calling on it's own timeline. It works fine when I test it out on it's own, but as soon as I load it in using the first MC, the loaded MC doesn't call the movie clip it's supposed to load.

Any suggestions?

LoadMovie/loadMovie From Loaded Movie?
I know I know .. messed up heading .. but ..

I have a button that loads a swf into an empty mc (sliderContainerMC)

(release) {
_root.sliderContainerMC.loadMovie("http://www.justinsteiger.com/flash/anims/sliderOpen.swf");
}

That works as advertised. The difficulty comes when I tell the button on that swf to load a new swf into the same MC (sliderClose.swf). Since the swf in the MC (sliderOpen.swf) isn't the same swf (loading into a MC in justinsflashsite.swf) do I need to change the path? Say to include something telling it to load the swf into the parent swf?

Eventually the swf that's called into the empty MC is going to have buttons that are supposed to call up other swf's that load in other empty MC's around the site. HELP?!

Thanks,
Justin
http://www.justinsteiger.com/flash/justinsflashsite.fla (Is the parent swf)

Loadmovie Inside Loadmovie Problem?
Hi,

I have a main movie which use's the loadmovie function to load up an external SWF. But then inside that SWF there is another loadmovie function to load another external SWF into that.

But the problem is that when the first movie is loaded all of its loadmovie commands are disabled.

Is there something i could do to rectify this?

Thanks,
T

Local Loadmovie Ok / Online Loadmovie Bad
I'm at my wit's end with this one. I have an swf that's loading fine locally but refuses to be loaded online. Here's the script. It's in the first frame of the root mc ....
code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("slideshow", this.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.slideshow.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc ", 0);
slideshow_btn.onRelease = function() {
this._visible = 0;
this.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.slideshow.container_mc.loadMovie("temp.swf") ;
};


Loads no problem locally. Nothing when I upload it. I have lockroot set to true in the same frame as the above script. I also tried a simple test with ....
code:
_root.slideshow.loadMovie("temp.swf");

.... in a simple mc containing only a 'slideshow' mc. Works if I access the URL directly, doesn't if I put it in an html page. What mistake could I be making?

thanks

[F8] Need To Change A Variable In A LoadMovie Mc While In Another LoadMovie Mc
So I have a shell mc that has 2 mc's loaded into it with loadMovie (let's call them project1 and project2). While I'm in project1...how do I change a variable in project2 to be true instead of false?

I thought I could do it like this (in Project1...):
myBtn.onPress = function()
{
_parent.dropZone_project2.myVar = false;
}

Nothing seems to be working. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Resize LoadMovie Container, Not LoadMovie?
I've searched and searched but haven't found what I'm looking for.

I'm wanting to load different sized .swf into the same field and I want the field to adjust (preferably some smooth transitions for the size change) to fit the size of each different .swf loaded. I've seen it done on quite a few sites but I haven't been able to find a tutorial of any kind addressing this specifically. Can anyone help?

I'm keeping it simple, i.e. thumbnails with titles above or off to the side; click one; the field where the .swf will play adjusts itself; .swf loads and plays. When completed, user can click another thumbnail and the previous .swf will "unload" then the field adjusts for the new .swf and the new one loads. Follow me? Just any tutorial you guys may know of would be great.

Here's the closest example I could find... cool site too. http://www.pollenation.org

Loadmovie Over Prev Loadmovie And Positioning Jpg
Hello, a little question and i have the feeling i am very close.

i use loadmovie to load an image into an movieclip.
that movieclip goes to the position x and y of the movieclip - the loaded image width/2

my problem is that when i load a new image the position is not correct.

my code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function nextImage1()
{
if (p < total - 1)
{
++p;
if (loaded == filesize)
{
trace(p);
trace("x van inst0"+litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._x);
trace("y van inst0"+litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._y);
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._alpha = 0;
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0.holder.loadMovie(image[p], 1);

var maxWidth = 250;
var maxHeight = 200;

var myWidth = litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width;
var myHeight = litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._height;
// Calculate percentage by which image will need to change to fit
if (myWidth > maxWidth){
var xscalePercent = (myWidth*100)/maxWidth;
}
if (myHeight > maxHeight){
var yscalePercent = (myHeight*100)/maxHeight;
}
// Multiply both height and width by the bigger percentage
if (xscalePercent>yscalePercent) {
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width /= (xscalePercent/100);
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._height /= (xscalePercent/100);
} else {
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width /= (yscalePercent/100);
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._height /= (yscalePercent/100);
}
var test=litlimg_instance._x-(litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width/2);
trace("width img:"+litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width);
trace("width:2 :"+litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width/2);
trace("x position must be:"+test);
trace("x position is:"+litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._x);
trace("----------------------------------------------------");

litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._x=litlimg_instance._x-(litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._width/2);
litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._y=litlimg_instance._y-(litlimg_instance.ltlimgmc_instance0._height/2);
slideshow();
} // end if
} // end if
} // End of the function


function slideshow()
{
function pause_slideshow()
{
clearInterval(myInterval);
if (p == total - 1)
{
p = 0;
firstImage1();
}
else
{
nextImage1();
} // end else if
} // End of the function
myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, 4000);
} // End of the function

p = 0;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what i do is i have an array with the image links.
on a interval i load an image. and if p has reached the number of loaded images i start over again.

i traced the following while testing a bunch of images:
-------

1
x van inst0-125
y van inst0-93.55
width img:250
width:2 :125
x position must be:-125
x position is:-125
----------------------------------------------------
2
x van inst0-125
y van inst0-93.55
width img:258.05
width :2 :129.025
x position must be:-129.025
x position is:-125
----------------------------------------------------
3
x van inst0-129
y van inst0-93.55
width img:140.3
width :2 :70.15
x position must be:-70.15
x position is:-129
----------------------------------------------------
4
x van inst0-70.15
y van inst0-93.55
width img:243.2
width :2 :121.6
x position must be:-121.6
x position is:-70.15
----------------------------------------------------
1
x van inst0-125
y van inst0-93.55
width img:250
width :2 :125
x position must be:-125
x position is:-125
----------------------------------------------------

It looks like he takes the position of the prev image or something like that.

Please some help here.

Greetz. Jacob

Ps: this was some code i posted.. i would like to know how you put it into such a nice code block on the forum so it becomes more readable.

Set LoadMovie Time, UnloadMovie, LoadMovie
in that order-

Put simply-
can anyone guide me to any resources that would explain how to do this?

1. Load 2 swf's into empty mc's (this part is already done)
2. Have those 2 swf's be on the stage for 3 seconds.
3. Unload those 2 swf's.
4. Then load a completely new swf once those have been unloaded.

LoadMovie Inside LoadMovie
im trying to make a movie clip that loads another swf that in turn loads a movie;



I created A.swf, which contains a movieclip; inside it has a shortshort animation and then loads an image:

loadMovie("image.jpg",_root.Image.PlayerScreen);
//_root.Image is the movieclip

then i created B.swf, wich loads A.swf;

loadMovie("A.swf", _root.PlayerScreen);

the problem is that B.swf loads with no prob, it loads the animation in A.swf, but instead of getting the image, i get a purple square...

any idea what's wrong?

thnx!

MC Talks To The Main Timeline.
I am using a tutorial .FLA file. It's got a horizontal motion menu. Anyway, the MC's that hold the buttons are so deep in MCs that i can't talk to the main timeline. I can't even move frame to frame from the buttons that are moving. I've tried the thing that people say to go from the MCs to Scenes. but i just want the main timeline. thanks.

Mc Menu That Talks To Level 0
I have a project with a basic loadmovie structure. My main content is on level 0. I have a few other things that load on higher levels, so I need the menu to be able to popup over these things. Right now all my nav buttons, including the menu button are on level 0. The menu button makes the menu movie clip load on level 4.

I can't figure out how to make the menu buttons talk to the main (level 0) timeline. I'm trying to use "_root" but I don't think I'm doing it right. I haven't used it before. What code should I use? Should I make the menu in a different way?

Swf Talks To Other Swf Embedded In Same HTML Page
Hello,
If I have 2 different swfs loaded into different areas of an HTML page, how do I send a variable over to one then back again, when let's say, a button in one is clicked?

Do I have to send the variables up to a script on the server? If I do have to send it up to a script...how do I get it over to the other swf??

thanks,

Nested Movie Talks To The Main Timeline?
I'm very new to actionscript 3.0 (and actionscript in general for that matter) so this may be easily done.

My main timeline has two frames. On the first frame a button is clicked will take the users to frame #2. When frame #2 is played, a movie clip that takes up most of the screen appears. Now, there is a button to return to frame #1 in the main timeline, from within the movieclip on frame #2.

How do I get the "return to frame #1" button to work within the movieclip on frame #2? I assume the button needs to speak to the main timeline (or something like that) but just not really sure.

Thanks in advance!

Loadmovie Or NOT To Loadmovie
I was wonder should I keep my flash file on one big (600+kb) swf or should I break down my scenes into movies and then load then load the swf that way.

If I use the loadmovie, way I like that it quickly loads my intro and main interface, but you still have to wait on each scene to load up and each scene is around (150kb -300kb). But once its loaded its loaded.

Should you have your flash site just load once or have mini loaders in it. I'm not quite sure which direction to go.

Loadmovie To Above All Others
Hello,

I am working on an operating system like interface where my navigation buttons load swfs with the apropriate content. These swfs resemble windows and I want them to work like windows as well. Everything is going great except I do not know how to load the move into the front most position. I want there to be multiple windows out at the same time and then I was going to put a swap depths script on each window to make the active window come to the front. Before I get that working though, I need to be able to load the movie into the front most position. Any ideas?

Loadmovie Help
Well, to make it short and simple, I have the main site interface and at the press of a button an animation will play then hold to a stop. At the stopped frame the loadmovie loadable.swf (1) is present.
My problem is I figured that if i have a preloader on the loadable.swf it would show and wont play until the loadable.swf is completly loaded. In this case the preloader status will not show, and once loadmovie is hit it starts to play the movie when it is not loaded all the way. Please if you can explian how to properly "totally load an swf file using loadmovie with the preloader status showing it would be greatly appriciated..

Bug After LoadMovie ?
I'm making a flash game that gets loaded into my flash web page with movieClip.loadMovie();

After testing this operation, I went back into my game fla to make some changes and now for some unknown reason none of my changes are getting saved. The are not only not getting saved, but when I test, they are not getting executed either!

I can do a SaveAs, give it a new file name, and when I open the new file all code alterations are gone and it has reverted to the code used in the first test of my web page.

This is the craziest thing I've ever seen flash do and I cant seem to edit my game anymore. Anytime I try, of course, it wont save changes and wont let changes get built. I've rebooted and everything... help plz!

Loadmovie
I have been searching for a tutorial on this but I'm having no luck.

I am attempting to load seperate movies from an swf by having 2 buttons on an intro screen (each one opening another movie).

I want to do this so I can have a preloader on each scene. Is this the best way to do this or is there an easier way?

With either option I could do with some pointers if anyone has any ideas or code I could poach.

I've got one startermovie (exe file). In that movie the user has to select a language. All french movies are in a subfolder called "french" and all english movie are in a subfolder called "english"

the structure looks like this

start.exe
I
_______________________
I I
French English
I I
I- intro.swf I- intro.swf
I I
I- pag2.swf I- pag2.swf
I I

So I start from start.exe. choose a language and the goes on like a slide show to intro.swf to pag2.swf to ...

I used on the language buttons in the start.exe file
loadmovieNum ("../english/intro.swf", 0);

this works fine

On the end of f.ex intro.swf I used loadmovieNum ("../english/pag2.swf", 0);
and that's where the problem is. He just starts over playing the intro.swf


How can I go to my next movie and the to the next one and so on?
I've already tried loadmovieNum ("pag2.swf", 0); but this doesnn't work either.
