Loading Movie In Flash File


I tried to create a swf which loads a movie. The result is that the loaded movie is off-centered. It moved "down to the left" for several pxs.

Another problem is the backgroundcolor. I want to have is white which is it in the fla-file but when running is in swf it is black!

What do i do wrong?

The result can be viewed here:

Loading A .txt File Into A Flash Movie
Hi People!

I have heard that it is possible to load a text (.txt) file into a Flash movie.

Does anybody know how one would go about doing it.

The reason it would be handy is because, when I type text in Flash, and then view the .swf, the text seems to be anti-aliased, so the whole thing looks like an image, even if I turn 'anti-alias text' off in the 'view' menu.

I'm wondering if loading the text in from an external txt file would give me HTML (no anti-alias) text, for maximum legibility.

Can anybody help please!

Cheers!

Loading A Text File Into A Flash Movie
We've all seen Applet tickers that load text files and then scroll the text zontally or tically, how do I get a swf movie to load a .txt file?

Easy in HTML. I know how to tween, etc., but I don't know advanced stuff. I know how to paste in action script, obviously.

Any help would be great.

Help With Loading Flash File On To A Movie Clip
Hey I'm having a little bit of trouble on getting the flash file to load into a movie clip.
I have been at this for about 2 days and I'm not having very much luck first I made a menu second I converted it to a movie clip third I created a blank movie clip to insert the action script forth I tested out and it give me a error which is this (**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 2: ')' or ',' expected

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
loadMovie("instructionalmovie.swf","theMenu"
and then finally I had to take the code out of the movie clip and then insert it into a layer 1, there was no error after that but when I preview the movie it gives me a error saying it can't find the .swf movie because it is looking on the hard drive itself and is not looking for it in the flash file is there anyway I can fix this problem ? here is the code that is functioning properly [loadMovie("instructionalmovie.swf","theMenu"]

thanks

Loading A Movie In A Separate Flash File
So we are making a menu system for a website and we want to update the links with flash. We have been given a template we have to conform to so we can make the buttons part of the main screen. So it will be to seperate flash files. Can I still have a button play a movie on the main screen file?

Dynamically Loading A Movie Outside Of The Flash File
Hey, been researching a solution to this problem for the past couple of days now.

What it is, we are trying to discover a way to dynamically load individual movies into a flash window display. I realise this is going to require the use of the "loadClip" function. But I guess I should explain the scenario.

Our company is looking to generate quite a few instructional videos that are approximately 1 minute in length if not longer. We've established that Flash would be the prefered method of presenting these videos as a majority of users out there have flash player plugin's and that they are easier to download as well... However.

I've run into the issue of getting some questions answered:

1) I know flash can have actionscript place in the file to bring in a .FLA Movieclip outside of the current flash file being loaded. I also know we can bring in outside non-progressive .jpg files. Now I've been tring to discover is if it is possible to bring in outside: WMV, MPEG, or MOV files without converting them to a Flash Movieclip?
a. continuation) If we can, does flash play these outside files by itself or do the users still require the media player being used to be loaded on their system in order to view it, or can it play the (wmv, mov, or mpeg) by flash itself?

2) tring to figure how we could do the code to dynamically pull these individual movies into Flash. Possibly by checking a parameter such as the current URL loaded. or a property that is update based on an outside link being clicked. (should note that our main site is majority coded in ASP.NET).

3) Would it be better if we just made individual Flash Splashes that showed the list of Videos needed for the particular product, rather then dynamically tring to itemize it thru a Flash ASP.NET cross over?

4) once setup, is this going to be easy to update? Adding new videos or updated instructional videos. Or removing outdated videos for that matter?

5) can we have our videos download to users progressively or would we need to invest in a streaming server to perform this.

6) Is this going to cost affective? Or should we turn back now and seek another method of doing this.

I realise this may seem alot to ask, but as I have said I have researched this for several days now. And for the last two I've tried repeatedly to get in contact with someone from Macromedia's advanced support people but keep getting nobody. My search for instructional sites, videos, or macromedia tutorial help brings up nothing involving something this complex in nature. I hope someone can provide an answer.

Loading A Movie Within A Movie Using Text File.
I am currently using a text file to pull in variables for a Flash movie.

What I'd like to do is add a variable that equals the name of a separate SWF file. (example, VarX = secondmovie.swf)

I'm not sure how best to do this. When I try to call the variable in a function, it doesn't seem to want to recognize it, yet all my other variables load fine. Something about pulling a MC within the main timeline just isn't working.

Any ideas?

Small Flash File Loading Into HTML - Weird Sporadic Loading
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help...

I have a very small Flash file (less than 5k) loaded into a table cell of an HTML page .

On occasion (on Mac/IE) there is a flash of white appears in the table cell before the file starts. On other occasions only a portion of the file appears (while the rest of the cell is white). And at other times, none of the file appears (the table cell that it's in is appears as white).

The background of the flash file is orange (not white) so I guess that means that none of the Flash has loaded. Sometimes when I refresh the page, the problem resolves itself.

Does anyone know what the problem may be? Is there any sort of pre-loading JavaScript that would help, even though the file is very small to begin with?

Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

Movie Not Loading Through Html File.
I am using flash 8 professional

I am attemtping to have 3 seperate movies load within a single swf file when certain buttons are rolled over.

The movies load correctly if I open the main swf file directly. But when I view the main swf file within a html file the main swf file loads, but none of the movies load, initially or through rollover. I would appreciate any inisight as to what I may be doing wrong.

This all works if the html and swf files are on the same level. Currently I have the index file residing on a top level and the swf files in a folder called assets. The main .swf file loads, but none of the movies that the main swf file targets load. Its just blank

The code I am using is as follows:

loadMovie("stage1.swf", "emptybox");
emptybox._x = 0 ;
emptybox._y = 0 ;

but1.onRollOver = function () {
loadMovie("stage1.swf" , "emptybox");
emptybox._x = 0 ;
emptybox._y = 0 ;
}

but2.onRollOver = function () {
loadMovie("stage2.swf" , "emptybox");
emptybox._x = 0 ;
emptybox._y = 0 ;
}

but3.onRollOver = function () {
loadMovie("stage3.swf" , "emptybox");
emptybox._x = 0 ;

Loading A .txt File In Final Movie
Let me try to explain my problem...........I will try to explain it the best I can, and I hope someone can understand it.

Ok, I have started making a flash website just for an experiment. On the site, I have a content area(movie clip) on one layer in the middle of the site that appears to the user to load whatever content the user clicks on of the navigation links. There is no actionscript to this movie clip, only the designed element.

On another layer in the main timeline, I have an empty movie clip positioned inside the content area to load the actual content each time. (It has a frame actionscript to loadVariablesNum("home.swf",0) ).

In an external .swf file, I created a scrolling text that could be loaded into the webpage. For example, I created a home.txt file and then loaded it into the external movie "home.swf". Inside the external movie "home.swf" everything worked fine.....text file loaded and it scrolled by using the arrows I made.

Now, back inside the website, on the home button, when clicked, it was my goal to load the external "home.swf" file. Well, it loads the graphic arrows fine, but the text does not load. I also have an actionscript on the home button of
on(release)
_root.content_show.loadMovie("home.swf"); where content_show is the instance name of the blank movie clip.

I have tried everything that I know of to get this external movie to load when the Home button is clicked, and all I can get to show up is the arrows and not the text.
If anyone can help me with this issue, please let me know. I don't know if I need to rearrange the layers, or what. I have tried everything I know with the actionscript.
I have also included the website .swf file so maybe someone can get a better understanding of what I am talking about.
If anyone can help me with this, or needs a better understanding of what I am saying, please let me know.
Thanks.
David

I have been unable to call the text file into the dynamic text box, although it will load if I put the text box and letter button straight into the scene.

Is it impossible, or is it possible and I just have no idea what I am doing? (probabley the latter of the two).

Loading Arrays From A Text File Into A Movie
I have created an mp3 player, in MX 2004, that uses arrays to dynamically populate the movie clip. What I would like to do now is place the 2 arrays, artist and title info into a text file, so I can use just one movie to play various cds. Unfortunately, I have not found a good tutorial on how to accomplish this.

It is a basic script that I will incorporate into the mp3 player once I get the script to work right. There are links in the main movie that will send the appropriate text file to the player.

Anybody have any suggestions?

THe following code is what I want placed in a text file:

-----------------------------------------------------
var titles = new Array("Track01","Track02","Track03","Track04","Tra ck05","Track06");
var songNames = new Array("Track01.mp3","Track02.mp3","Track03.mp3","T rack04.mp3","Track05.mp3","Track06.mp3");
var artist = "Jeffrey Smith";
var cd = "Let Me Worship You";
-----------------------------------------------------

The following code will be located in the movieclip:

----------------------------------------------------
artist_txt.text = artist;
cd_txt.text = cd;
var sectionCount = titles.length;

var menu = this.createEmptyMovieClip("menu_mc", 1);
menu._x = 25;
menu._y = 70;


for(var i=0; i < sectionCount; i++){
var depthCount = menu.getNextHighestDepth();
var item = menu.attachMovie("itemClip", "item_" + i, depthCount);
item.labelName = titles[i];
item.song = songNames[i];
item.targetClip = this;
item._y = i*45;
}
----------------------------------------------------

Attached is the test fla.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

I was to do EXACTLY what that does, but make it myself so I can customise the appearance of the scrollbar and border. (unless these are customisable already through some technique I'm unfamiliar with?)

If you don't know what that does, it is able to load a seperate .swf file into a size limited area and make said movie clip scrollable.

Loading A Video File From Within A Loaded Movie

This, ("LoadVideo.swf"), has a button with the code


Code:
loadVideo_mc.onRelease = function() {
loader_mc.loadMovie("Video.swf");
}
This third file - "Video.swf" is called from "loadVideo.swf" above and lives in the same folder.

If I just run, "loadVideo.swf", the video runs OK. However, if I load it from within "base.swf" as above, it doesn't work.

Loading A Specific Frame Of Swf File Into Movie
hello,

I am tring to do the following (if there is a better route, i would love to hear it)

I have created a file with rollovers on the buttons. I want a bit of text to come up for each of the buttons as you rollover them.

I have created a seperate swf file for these chunks of text and have added a script to each button to load this external swf on rollover.

This works fine but I cannot get it to load a specific frame of the "imported" swf file containing my text for the rollovers.

here is what i have put in the actions:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop(60);
}
on (rollOver) {
loadMovieNum("portfolioLabels.swf", 100);
}
on (rollOut) {
unloadMovieNum(100);
}

Loadvariables Not Loading Txt File In Loaded Movie
I have two movies (main.swf and loaded.swf). In loaded, I use loadvariables to read in the contents of a dynamic text field. This works fine when running alone. However, the main.swf loads loaded.swf using loadMovie and loades it into the target (contentLoader) which is placed in the middle of main.swf. loaded.swf is loaded correctly into the contentLoader target however, the text field is empty.

Dynamic Text File Not Loading Into Main Movie

I know there is something that I need to modify but I can't figure out what. This is the action I have on the first frame in the swf that loads the text file: loadVariablesNum("resume.txt",0);
I am loading that swf into a MC in my main movie called holder. I tried changing the code above to _root.holder.loadVariablesNum("resume.txt",0); but that didn't work either. Can anyone help? Please?

HELP - Loading A Text File Inside Of A Movie Within A Moive
Okay, I am not really any sort of action scripter, but I do have a
question that I believe applies to action script.

I have created a movie with buttons in it that is the main console
to my site. This is an ALL Flash site. When you click a button to go
to one of the backpages it will:

_root.profile.loadMovie("images/contact.swf");
stop();

After loading this movie.. the movie profile.swf needs to be able
to call up a dynamic text file.

loadVariablesNum("http://design.sevenpoint.net/bobby/images/contact.txt", 0);

It doesn't work. I am using Flash MX. If you play
just the contact.swf it will work.

Main Site: http://design.sevenpoint.net/bobby
Working Dynamic Text: http://design.sevenpoint.net/bobby/images/contact.swf

Problems With Loading An External .swf File Into A Movie Clip
Hi, I have created an online portfolio and to reduce the filesize of the project I have categorised all my work into different files and load then from my index file. The problem I am facing is that when I try and call one of these external files from a button everythign works fine but it does not seem to want to load my preloader which I have present on every individual flash file and you just see a blank screen for a number of seconds or quite some time on a slow connection. I know the preloader works fine as its used and visible when you first launch my site and have used it on many others. I just cant seem to work out why it will only show the preloader when the file is ready to be shown instead of the blank screen I currently get.

I hope someone has some insight to this frustrating problem. I can post the sites address if it helps clarify my problem.

Hope someone can help.

Thx

Eddie

Making A Loaded Swf-file Loading Images Into The Movie..
Trying to convert my problem from norwegian into english isn't always that easy... :)

Anyway..
I've created som cool buttons that I want to be loaded into a movie (let's call i MainMovie.swf) and from there I want the buttons to be able to load images into a movieclip (ImageContainer) inside the MainMovie.swf.

Is it possible to make the MainMovie.swf communicate with the the loaded buttons (each button is a swf-file containing the actionscript, objects, etc.) so when the buttons are clicked they load different images into the ImageContainer?

My idea here is to include an as.file into the MainMovie.swf as well containing the url's to the images that I want to be loaded into ImageContainer.

I've tried to create a button on a layer above the buttons that's loaded into the MainMovie.swf but I end up with the loaded buttons not working properlu because of the button that I've created and placed above them.

Now, I don't want the url's inside the buttons thats loaded into the MainMovie.swf as I want the ability to be able to replace those buttons-files without having to use too much time writing the url's in each button.

Thanks folks.

Please Help With: Having Multiple Movie Clips In A File And Loading Them Upon Clickin
Hello all,

First, here is what I am trying to accomplish (i need the flash help and not design): Please visit http://www.rr.com <--- the main animation on that page has multiple movie clips in it that play in order, where the user can also select the movie they want to watch and it redirects them to that movie.

I don't really know what to look for on google, I can't seem to find a tutorial that shows me how to arrange a file like that. If you know of a tutorial that teaches that, please link me to it. I am quite new to flash, so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Loading A Flash File After A Flash File Plays?
I can't figure out how to have a specific splash file play, and then directly after that flash file is done playing, another flash file is played. Bluemoutain seems to beable to do it...

http://www.bluemountain.com/img/prod...8/graphic1.swf

As you can notice, they have their shell file play, followed by the actual file. How is this done? They seem to have declared the file they want to play after the shell with animPath= How is this done???
