Loading Movies Inside Other Movies In An Ext Movie Holder?
Here's one for you:

I've got my main movie that has a movie holder on it (entitled movieholder.) The buttons on the left control what goes in the movie holder. In one of the movies there is a list of songs that are actually buttons. These buttons call up another movie(with MP3s). How do I get the MP3 movies to go into "movieholder" when they are being called by a button inside 'movieholder'

I'm using MX

Hope that made a slight bit of sense!

Thanks for any help,

Loading Movies Into Movies With Scroll Bars O_O
I have a site where I'm showcasing my talents (Obviously figuring scripting out won't be one of them) and I load movies into the central area by using simple commands, and it all works. Now I need to have of of those movie to scroll around, because I'm showcasing banners and have more than 400 pixels of height can fit.

I was thinking of using the same textField system that I used for my news section, but replacibng the textField part was a different thing for Movies.

There's got to be an easier way though. Can anyone help me?

Ummm... Loading Movies Inside Movies.... Help?
I posted a question about this a month or so ago, but now (I've had to work out problems on other sites in the meantime) I'm totally ready to figure this out!

I have a VERY large Flash Web site. So, it was suggested that I chop up the site into a few smaller movies. From there, I would set up a main page with a ["target"?] movie clip nested in it. Then, when a button has been pushed, the corresponding swf loads inside the movie clip. I think I can handle that... (although a nice tutorial would be great!)

The problem I'm having is... These swf's can be 'called' from each other, meaning the same buttons will be in each movie. However, the buttons will trigger different frames in each movie, depending on which movie you're already in. I'm betting this is confusing...

EXAMPLE: Every page has 4 buttons, "Who We Are", "Success Stories", "Portfolio", and "Contact". From the Home page you can push any of these buttons and it will go to the first frame of the corresponding movie and a quick, little animation displays as it takes you into the page. That's great. The problem is that, if you were in the "Who We Are" page and clicked "Contact" it should NOT go to Frame 1 of that movie... It should go to Frame 30, because there is a specific animation that connects "Who We Are" to "Contact" that is not the same as the connection animaton between "Home" to "Who We Are". So how do I get the code to be more specific?

HELP!

Dynamically Loading Movies Into Movies With Variables
This might be a kinda tough one. I'll explain the best that I know how.

I want to load jpg images into a movie/button (movie clip with a button instance inside of it with another movie clip inside the button), but I need to do it dynamically.

I was thinking about naming all of the files the same but just change the numbering at the end. Then I can just use an i value to obtain the next file.

Code:
for(i=1;i<5;i++){
loadMovie("something"+i+".jpg","mv_btn_"+i)
}

so, basically I have 5 buttons with 5 images to import. The buttons already have the proper numbers on them, I just need to import the clips into the corresponding button.

Sound Linkage When Loading Movies Into Movies
I have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.

However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far I havenâ€™t been able to figure out how without breaking the sound. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Frustrated With Loading Movies Inside Movies.
Ok here's my sight:
http://www.fantim.org/811/index2.html
This is my second attempt at making an all flash site. I got two questions.
1. Lets say I have three movies. Movie1.swf Movie2.swf and Movie3.swf
Movie1.swf has Movie2.swf loaded inside of it. Is there anyway to make Movie2.swf load Movie3.swf inside Movie1.swf ? Does that make sence?
2. Is there anyway to load only certian parts of a movie into another movie? For example:
I have this file http://www.fantim.org/fantimshow/movies/movies.swf (Don't mind the chopiness of it) As you can see it has excess stuff on the sides. Is there anyway to load this within another movie without showing this excess stuff?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Loading/unloading Movies In Loaded Movies :|
Yeah, I know that sounds confusing. Lemme explain:

- interface.swf it's my main movie;
- interface.swf load section1.swf in a specific container called containerMC (duh! );
- section1.swf load other movie, section1a.swf;
- I need a button in section1.swf that load section3.swf in the same main container (containerMC in interface.swf), unloading section1.swf and section1a.swf.

Well... I need some tips about the action of my 'overloaded' button

Loading Movies Within Movies Question
Hi,
I have 2 questions.

I'm making a flash website, about 20 pages, right now contained in one movie. Since the file is up to about 400 K , I'm wanting to break out some of the pages into separate movies, and then load them up with the loadmovie command when someone clicks on a link.

1) is IS possible to have a new movie load within a first movie right?? I want to have all of the navbars and stuff in the base movie, and then when you click on something, it loads up that pages' movie onto the base. this IS possible right??

2) what happens if I don't want to unload the loaded movies, and just keep them hidden and available in the base movie, so that if the user clicks on a link twice, it doesn't have to reload it, but just diaplays it? will the accumulation of movies slow down a user's computer or crash a browser?

As I said, the whole thing totals about 400K, and there is no rocket science scripting or anything, it's all pretty straight forward.

Any insight from you Flash wizards would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Loading Movies On Top Of Loaded Movies
I'm trying to load a movie on top of a loaded movie. For Example:
I have an interface with 4 buttons on it. Each button loads an external swf above the buttons. The loaded movies fade in on top of the lower level. I want it so that when you click button 1, it loads "movie01" and then if you click button 2 it loads (fading in) "movie02" on top of "movie01". Instead, it unloads "movie01" first, then loads "movie 02". I want it to look like the movies fade in on top of each other no matter what order you press the buttons.

I have them all loading in at level 1, is that my problem?

Loading Movies Inside Of Movies
Hey Guru's,

I am trying to figure out something with flash. I am working on making my site not so big by creating multiple movies of each page therefore making the movie smaller and loading in sections instead of loading the whole thing at once. I was wondering if you knew how to do this? Do I need to create a movie that lives on level0 and then load each movie inside of that when they click one of the topics on the page? How do I go about making that load in and then once they click to a differnt topic it loads another .swf? Can i make it so that the top bar stays or anything of that nature? I am just confused on how levels work and how to get it to work for me. Any advice or references I could possibly get would be appreciated!

Unloading And Loading Movies Within Movies
Hi, I've been using flash for a while, but never had a need for this function before. I'm trying to create a movie with an interface resembling a vintage radio.

I need to have a set of buttons, each loading a different movie (which will consist of only audio), and also unload the movie that previously was playing. The desired effect is to resemble switching channels on the radio.

Is this difficult to do?

Loading One Movie Vs. Loading Multiple Movies?
Greetings All,

I'm looking for some advice on the approach to loading multiple content "panels" on a website -- let's say we have a mini-intro panel (logo, tagline, etc.) and a news panel (rotating blurbs you can click on).

From a performance and optimization stance, is it better to:

1) create each panel as its own .SWF and load each one separately on a web page;

2) create each panel separately, and then use loadMovie(); to insert one into a layout space within the other;

3) just build all the functionality into one big honkin' .SWF.

I'm leaning away from Option 3, just for "simplicity of development" reasons.

My concerns are performance quality (will one approach run slower than another?) and bandwidth issues (how will dial-up users experience different approaches?).

I'm sure some of you have run into this before. I'm interested in your opinions.

Thanks.

Loading Movies Into Movies
I have a movie (loadedwf) that needs to load into another swf file: this has a movie clip (holder) in which (loadedwf) loads.

Load.swf has some dragable butons in it that work fine when I test the movie by itself.

When I go back into the file what will load (loaded.swf)
I set up a frame script like this:

loadMovie("loaded.swf","/holder")

so loaded.swf loads up into the clip "holder" on the main timeline.

The prblem is that, although the (loaded.swf) load up fine, its dragable buttons don't work anymore, and I can't figure out why, since they work fine when I test loaded.swf by itself.
Can anyone help? Seems that the targeting for the dragable buttons get messed up when I load the movie into another timeline.

Thanks for any help!

Loading Movies Into Movies
Hi there!

I recently started using flash. I want to present my thesis with flash, should be really nice.

I'm more or less familiar with most of the animation and graphical possibilities with Flash, my question regards the design of the backbone of the presentation, let's say the technical lay out of the movie.

The main menu exists of three subjects. When you click on one of these items, a submenu will appear under this item with a few other items. So far I'm there...

The items in the submenu are all buttons that will launch a movie. Part of the presentation is a big square in which the movies will play, like a tv screen. My question is...how can I make these previously made movies appear in the square and play, yet maintaining their interactivity? For these movies have some buttons in them well as well, just to navigate back and forth on the timeline of the movie.

I've been fooling around with the load movie command, but it's asking for an URL while the movies I want to play are on my harddisk.

Who can help me out on this issue? General tips and links on the issue of organizing a lay out of a movie are also more than welcome!

Greetings from Holland!

HELP-Loading Movies Within Movies
Ok, here is what I am trying to do:

I have a Flash website with a TV interface. All of the content for the site will be displayed in the TV screen. However, there is a ton of content and I don't want it to all load up front. In fact, all I want to load up front is the vector TV graphics (so it's fast initially). I want the rest of the content to load when its appropriate channel is clicked on. This will obviously reduce initial load time and any unnecessary loading of content the user will never want to view.

So, what I would like to have happen is have the TV pop up once you hit the site. Then, whenever you click a channel I want that content to load within the TV screen. There should be a preloader (which I can do) on the screen telling the user "loading content...". Does that make sense?

I tried doing it by putting a preloader in front of the TV vector images (scene 1) telling it to just make sure that Scene 1 (the TV) is loaded. I then put a preloader in front of the other scenes (channel content) so that when the user selected one it would hit the preloader. However, it does not appear to be that easy since it did not seem to work for me. Anyone have any ideas or can point me to a good example/tutorial/source? Thanks!

Hi Guys,

I know there was a recent message along the same lines as this but i don't think i have the same problem:

I want to do one of the following... either:

Load a movie onto the next level BUT be able to position it...

OR

Load a movie into a movie into a movie clip. I can do this but the movie doesn't seem to play. Positioning is good etc. but when it comes to actually loading and playing it messes up and doesn't do anything.

Hope you can help.

Okay...I'll try to make this as unconfusing as possible...
This is my first attempt at building a site completely in Flash. I'm using MX, and I have 2 side bars (one left for the normal menu and one right menu for what will eventually be the individual menus for each button on the left menu)then I have the actual center screen where the main movies will open up. I have 3 buttons on the left that are going to make the right menu active: Photos, Bio, and Rants. Rather than Buttons, each "button" is a MovieClip. They aren't the problem...what I am trying to do is this:
Example: On release of ButtonPhotos (left menu) I want PhotosMenu to load on the right menu. This will bring up two buttons on the right. On release of either of those buttons, I want the relative movie to open in the center.
I've tried loadmovie, but I can't seem to get anything to work. I've looked in Macromedia's tutorials and also searched this board for answers and I still can't get anything to load correctly. When I try:
on (release) {
loadMovie('PhotosMenu.swf',1);
}
nothing loads and the animation of ButtonPhotos doesn't work. Please help! If you need the files, I will attempt to post them (though I haven't ever posted to a site before..so you may have to bear with me).
Much appreciated in advance!

Hey, I was wondering if I can load a movie within a movie.

So it loads a movie in the top corner which uses actionscript to point to a specific frame so it repeats itself. Because it cant be in the main movie, or the main movie would never play. It would be stuck in the loop

I have tried to import the .swf but it doesn't work.
I'm just wondering if I have to target the .SWF with action script, and not import it at all, so its two seperate .swf's

If i'm right, whats the actionscript to make it link?
OR am I totally off track?

I was wondering how you load an external flash file into one that is allready running. What I'm trying to do is create a site with links and when you click on a link it loads and then plays the movie right in the same movie that the link was in.

An example of what I mean is at http://www.contentcom.com.br/
When you click on one of the links at the top, it loads right into the same movie.

Loading Movies On Top Of Movies?
Ok guys, I have another one about loadMovie!

I've basically created an animation (MC), which at the end of the animation is replaced by a button within this MC. THe button has this code:

on (release) {MensSlideShowHolder.loadMovie ("SlideShowMen.swf", 1);}

The empty movie clip holder is titled: MensSlideShowHolder - I've made sure that the instance name is the same.

But it doesn't seem to load the clip! If it helps, the movie itself that this button/animation is on, is actually another loadMovie clip - I dont know if this makes any difference. But so far Im getting no actionscript errors and everything works fine, except it just doesnt load!!

THanks for any help you can provide!!

Loading Movies Within Movies
I'm designing a website which is navigated by flash buttons on the top of the page. My problem is that I want to keep the interface (buttons) on every page of the site without having to reload them. How can I do this and load the page content (which is another flash movie) of every page below the interface. So in other words I have my animated buttons at the top of the page, you click on any of them, a preloader appears in the middle of the screen loading the specific page keeping the interface in view at the top not having to reload it. Another reason I want to do this is to keep a sound loop playing without it being reset to the start of the loop when changing pages.

Any help would be appreciated.

Loading Movies From Other Movies... Help
hey everyone,

I'm having a little problem. I'm loading sevral SWF's from a main SWF. The SWF's themselves have movieclips inside them. Now in th SWF's i'm using _root.gotoAndPlay and when i import into the main SWF.. its messes it up bigtime. What can i do to access each SWF's own parent .. an alternative to _root that is relative to each SWF so when i import into a main SWF.. it does not interfere with the main one. Can anyone help me please.. Thanks!

More Pre-loading Movies In Movies
So, I am pulling a swf in via a movieclip, and I have another movieclip used for preloading it.

_parent.movie.stop();
totalBytes = _parent.movie.getBytesTotal();
loadedBytes = _parent.movie.getBytesLoaded();
remainingBytes = totalBytes - loadedBytes
percentDone = int((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
bar.gotoAndStop(percentDone);

if (percentDone < 24) {
_parent.movie.stop();
} else if (percentDone > 25){
gotoAndStop(3);
_parent.movie.play();
}

That's the code, and it works fine. The problem is, after a user has viewed the movie once, and they go back, if it is cached, the loading movie clip won't go to frame 3 to "disapear"

That's easy you say! Just add another else if to account for percentDone == 100

well, i've tried that, and i'm pulling my hair out, because once I do that nothing works. I don't understand why if I add another else if to account for anything over 25 it bombs.

any ideas?

When you click on a button, it loads a swf file into level 1. Each swf file is loaded into level one, replacing the previous swf file. Now, problem is this, when you have a swf file loaded, and you click on a button to load another swf file, the main interface at level 0 appears for a brief second. I dont want it to do that. I just want the new swf file to start loading. Should I just be loading them in separate levels instead?
The buttons that load the swfs are "Mission" "Profile" "Work Schedule" and Services"

i found that loading different swf's onto different levels in the same movie (at the same time) freezes the movie.
i don't know why this happens.

if you have worked with loading different swf's and mc's onto the screen at the same time,
what method has worked smoothly for you?

is it better to load the swf's into holder mc's and not levels?
or is it better to have just one swf playing and load only many mc's and not other swf's?

any help would be most welcome.

Movies And Loading Them?
Hi,

I am trying to get some movie clips running, first some text that fades and then as this happens another text box appears and fades slowly too. Apart from spacing them in the scene according to their individual movie sizes (frames or whatever), is there a way to get them to run in the scene and once the first one has finished to start running the second movie?

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, the text I am using will the same fading effects etc, but I cannot duplicate the text and change it for each movie. Is there a way to to this? When I 'edit' text it changes it in both movies.

Thanks,

ok first...i can load a movie into another movie just fine..but how can i get the movie i just loaded to preload before i play..

im probably not making any sense so let me try this again

say i make a flash with a preloader, it loads, then goes to a frame in the next scene then stops. This frame has a play button on it. If i press play, it loads the movie that i want(the sound) while the other one is playing..and im trying to make this movies play in sync. But the movies that i just loaded takes time to load and therefore screwing it up..

If you STILL dont understand what im saying..take a look at this flash..the one im making.

http://www.geocities.com/milkykorn/blaze.swf (notice there is a gap between the song and the text..they're supposed to be in sync)

Now here is the same one that is in sync but the file is too big..

http://www.geocities.com/milkykorn/blaze2.swf (timing should be good until the "ugh" comes up)

The flash isnt nearly done and the fonts are a little screwed up cause i reformatted and i dont have that font anymore.

Oh...if anyone has the fonts "Smudger LET" or "Orange LET" could u send em to me? :P

Loading Movies On Top Of Each Other
I am loading movies on different levels (level 0 to level 3), and I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to "deactivate" buttons in a movie lower than the topmost movie. What is happening is when I roll over a button that is in a lower level, the hand icon appears, but it is over an empty space in the visible movie. Is there any way around this without unloading the previous movie?

Loading New Movies
you should be able to load new moveis no problem
if you have them in the same dir as you menu exe.
then you put some actionscript like

loadMovieNum ("movie.swf", 0);

on one of the buttons on your menu
the number this case 0 refers to the layer you load the movie onto.
so you just need to make a load buttons for your menu and put the actionscript on each button.
if you are scripting in normal mode you can use this from the actions group of stuff and flash will write all of this for you + give you neet boxes to write in you values

The SWF's I'm loading in my main movie are using "_root.mcName" from MC onClipEvents, but the actions in these SWF's aren't working once loaded into the MAIN movie because I guess after they are loaded, "_root" becomes the MAIN movie timeline and not the loaded SWF's timeline. Is this correct??

When I load a SWF file into the MAIN movie, I load it with the TARGET as: "_root.mcName" so that the loaded SWF will load into an MC in the MAIN movie instead of using a "_level" as the TARGET.

So my question is this:

How do I keep the loaded SWF's "_root" timeline so that the onClipEvents will still look at the loaded SWF's "_root" timeline instead of the MAIN movies timeline so that they work properly????

Thanks in advance!!!

I have a section of a movie I am building that contains four buttons each loading a different movie. get to the page select any of the first and it will load with no problems. Press the back button mid load (which has a unLoadMovies command on it and select another movie and the new selection will not appear to load (ie no loading screen, however it does seem to be loading something? maybe that movie in behind??) Anyway allow the first movie to load, play it and then select another movie and still no loading screen for the second movie.

I have used this technique beofre and it worked well.. is it a Flash 6 player thing, I have read something on the site about problems loading in MP3 and SWF files or has this been sorted and now and it is a error in my programming??

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
