Problem With Flash Movie To Flash Movie Interaction
hi people! i hope yu guys can help me out. i have a problem with this flash movie to flash movie interaction. i have two SWFs and are in an HTML page.the first one must play first. once the first one is finished the other one then plays. i used javascript and the fs command to tell the 2nd movie to play once the 1st one is finished playing. i made it work on I.E. 5 on my P.C.(yehey!). but when i try it out on netscape 4 on my pc, the 2nd movie just freezes on the 2nd frame. and the bad part is when i try to execute it on the MAC it doesn't work. Hope yu guys can enlighten me on this matter. thanks!

Playing A Flash Movie Withing A Flash Movie
I'm trying to play a Flash movie within a Flash movie. I've got a button on frame one that calls up frame two - on which I've imported a Flash movie, which we'll call "movie two".

It works, but the action scripts in "movie two" don't seem to work. The movie just plays over and over until I close the window.

Is there a way to open "movie two" so that it stays on the first frame of "movie two" and have the action scripting stay intact?

I hope this makes sense...

How Do I Insert A Flash Movie (symbol) In A Flash Movie?
I just tried converting a series of frames in my Flash animation to a symbol (movie) that I would like to re-use within the main animation, but I can't quite get it right. Here is what I did:
1. I selected all frames and layers that I was interested in converting to a symbol, right clicked, then selected Copy Frames.
2. I selected Modify>Convert to Symbol, selected Movie as the symbol type and gave it a name. It then appeared in the Library.
3. I edited the movie clip symbol by double-clicking on it in the library. In the symbol editor I selected Frame 1 of Layer 1 and pasted the frames there. I closed the symbol editor and returned to Scene 1.

My problem is, I don't know what to do next. How do I insert the movie clip into the parent movie? When I inserted a blank frame at the end of the Timeline then dragged the movie clip symbol to the blank Stage, things got kind of wierd. I would have expected the entire movie clip to be represented on the timeline, but it wasn't. In addition, when I played the Timeline it in the editor or previewed it, the movie clip I just added wouldn't play. Sometimes the rest of the parent movie wouldn't even play. Obviously I must be doing something way wrong. Can you help me? Thanks - Jack

Flash Movie Controlling External Flash Movie
Hello, I'm banging my head on a wall here, and almost certainly have missed something obvious, but maybe someone can point me at it.

I need to turn on and off items in a flash movie, from another external flash movie. The two cannot be contained in one common flash movie, but need to be two swf's within either a single html page, or more likely, in two html frames within a frameset.

The gist of it is:
Movie one. a map, containging roads, road names, buildings of interest.
Movie two. a key, that can toggle on/off the roads, road names, buildings.

Any help would be appreciated.

Loading A Flash Movie Into An External Flash Movie?
Hey all, I was wondering if there was a way for one flash movie clip to refer to another flash movie clip in a html environment. That is, I want movie clip 1 positioned in a left table cell to pass a actionscript command to movie clip 2 positioned in a center table. Of course, I understand this is fully possible in a fully flash authored environment where both clips 1 and 2 are loaded into a parent flash movie, but it would really help me out if it was possible to do it the other way. Let me know if you have any ideas on the matter and thanks in advance!

Passing Variables From Loader Movie To Loaded Movie, Flash Satay Method
I like the Flash Satay method for its clean integration and standards-compliance, however there are still some things I can't manage the way I want to... I'm trying to implement a working method to pass variables from the loader movie to the loaded movie. As you may know, the Flash Satay method uses a small SWF file which uses a bit of code to load the desired movie, all in order to allow IE browsers to retain streaming capabilities when rendering Flash content through the <object> tag. Basically it's just a small file with the following AS2 code in the first frame:

loadMovieNum(path, 0);

This means the c.swf file is ENTIRELY replaced at level0 with the desired movie, and any variables that were passed to the loader movie turn to smoke.

I'm trying to generate a querystring using all other variables the loader movie receives, and pass that along with the filename for loadMovieNum. This seems to be working very well in most cases, but whenever there's a URL in the querystring (even URLEncoded), BAM, everything turns to lowercase... EVERYTHING... here's an example:

c.swf?path=banner.swf&myLifeSUCKS=true&Icantbelieve=ITSNOTBUTTER

this successfully loads banner.swf in place of c.swf, with the following correct querystring appended

banner.swf?myLifeSUCKS=true&Icantbelieve=ITSNOTBUTTER

If I try:

c.swf?path=banner.swf&clickTag=http://www.myurl.com/&ANOTHER=variable

this successfully loads banner.swf in place of c.swf, but I end up with lower-cased querystring (all of it!!):

banner.swf?clicktag=http://www.myurl.com&another=variable

what happens to my capital letters?? I need these to remain case-sensitive as there is no saying how the loaded movies are programmed. The generally accepted convention for "clicktag-enabled" banners is to use _root.clickTag as the link button's URL...

Even URL-encoding the URL doesn't change this

For reference, here's the HTML snippet and ActionScript 2 code I use:
---- html ----

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="c.swf?path=banner.swf" width="728" height="90">
<param name="movie" value="c.swf?path=banner.swf" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="clickTag=http://www.google.com/" />
</object>

Attach Code

----c.swf----

var queryString:String = "";

for (var i in _root){
if (i != "path" && i != "queryString" && i != "$version"){
if (queryString) { queryString += "&"; }
queryString += i + "=" + _root[i];
}
}

if (queryString != "") {
loadMovieNum(_root.path + "?" + queryString,0);
} else {
loadMovieNum(_root.path,0);
}

How To Create E-mail With Flash Movie Played On Arrival Automatically (movie Should B
Hi,
I am looking for simple but working solution to send Flash movie as a part of e-mail. I would like to send Flash movie with e-mail (part of e-mail itself or as attachment) and it should start playing as soon as message is downloaded. I was using HTML page as stationary (script was downloaded from the net, with embedded movie as object). It worked perfectly fine as long as I was sending email to myself and it played within Outlook or Netscape. But on other computers with appropriate player was installed nothing happened despite enclosing Flash movie to e-mail.
I believe that it should be simple solutions. Can anybody direct me to place where I find right script or advise how to point flash player to sent movie and make it play.
Best regards

How To Break A Huge Flash Movie Into Smallers And Call One Another From A Main Movie?
Heeelllllpppppp…

My Flash file is huge. It is beyond 16,000 frames, the Flash size limit, as I was told. Therefore, it is not working ---my long narrations stop working. I have four scenes, so I came with a plan B to save my efforts on trying this file to work. I can break my Flash in 4 smaller files and then, call one from another. Is that possible?
How I do that? I will have a main file from with I will call the others. From a secondary file, can I come back to the main movie?
I looked at my action script book, but could not find a specific (or direct) statement about it.)
Thanks, thanks,

Opening Flash Movie In Html Window Exact Dimensions Of Movie?
Is there an extension or particular method to get this to happen perfectly.

I have been opening browser windows and setting the dimensions manually in behaviours to the same as the movie dimensions, but its never right. Its often bigger.

there must be a way to do this so that its the same as the flash movie size pretty much cross-browser - its ok...i hold no hope for Netscape

Thanks in advance,

Cesca

PS) Also, what happpens or whats the disadvantage of having a link open up the .swf (as opposed to it embedded in an html file)......sorry if the answer is clear and obvious...its just that on my local network it works so nicely

Can You Dynamically Resize A Flash Movie In Embedded In HTML From Within The Movie?
Did that subject line confuse anyone? Hope not.

What I am looking into doing is having a movie that is 200x200 (could be any size, I just randomly chose those numbers).

Inside that movie I have an empty MC that gets .jpg's loaded in using loadMovie() .

Now I would like to be able to resize the Flash movie to the loaded .jpg's width and height....but of course in the HTML, the .swf is hard coded as (in this case) 200x200.

It doesn't look as if it would be possible but I sure would like someone to proveme wrong.

Any help would be appreciated! thanks!

Sending A Variable To A Flash Movie - But The Movie Is In A Different HTML Frame
As the title suggests...

I have no problem passing variable from Dreamweaver into flash, if the movie is in the same frame as the action to send the variable.

However,

I now need to send a variable to a flash movie which is not in the same frame as where the command via java is coming from.

I thought that I could just refrence the movie in the other frame like this:

window.document.mainFrame.theMovie.SetVariable(wha tever)

this does not work....

any ideas?

mainFrame is the frame name of the framke holding the movie.

Flash Movie Goes To Next Scene On On Two Movie Clips Touching
I am pretty sure this can be done because my digital imaging teacher showed us a square spinning after touching a triangle that was moving around. I didn't really pay attention at the time because it seemed pretty useless. But anyway, how could I make a movie go to the next scene after one movie clip touched another movie clip, like two boxes or something? What would the code look like at where would I put it? Thanks.

Movie Not Syncing Up In Published Movie As It Does In Flash Dev Preview
Hey, having a bit of a problem. I built this "trailer" intro movie, and I've manually synced it up to a song, which all works well when I preview it in Flash CS Professional, and also syncs up when I preview it out.

However i'm finding that when I publish the movie out, using the File -> Publish command, the movie isn't syncing up. Instead it seems like everything is taking an extra few seconds here and there, which is werid, because if I play by just double clicking on the SWF file, it syncs properly.

Does anyone have any ideas why?

Export Flash Movie At 59.94 FPS - Movie Length Doubles
Has anyone experienced this issue? I have prepared a Flash animation to HDTV 720p specs at 59.94 FPS. Upon exporting to Quicktime, the resulting movie length is more or less double the flash animation length. When brought into AfterEffects, the movie is still twice the length. I'm hesitant to then do a time scale in AE - I'd rather the Flash export be exact.

Does anyone have experience with exporting Flash movies to QT at frame rates > 30fps? And have you experienced the same issues?

Thanks in advance for your comments,

Flash MX04 'Test Movie', And Browsers Don't Like My Movie
I've looked around on the Forum for something similar to this, but I didn't find anything, so here goes...

I am developing a game that (like most games do) includes simple hittest. The AS is fine, no errors, nothing. However, the problem arises when I do a 'Test Movie in Flash MX 2004. I've narrowed it down to the hittest stuff, but there is a chance it could be something else... When I test the movie within FMX04 the hittest command doesn't work, at all. Now, at this point you'd think there was something wrong with the code, but when export the movie and view it on my machine in Flash Player 6, it works perfectly. Anyone else ever had this problem? I have also found that it doesn't work in browsers either, (I've tried it on IE and FF).

The movie is here: http://www.343gs.the-junkyard.net/hfe/hfe.html if you want to see what I am talking about. If you goto 'Campaign' and then 'Begin Game', the white test box that appears SHOULD (And does in FP6) take damage from the red projectiles (They are only red for now to show that they actually exist, and that they are random).

Anyone got any advice on how to solve this? While you are taking a look at the movie, try some of the different weapons by selecting them from the 'Weapon Selection' Menu The game, as you can probably tell, is based on Halo and I have been working on it for some time. If anyone has a solution to this very annoying problem, I would be grateful.

Calling Movie After Movie From A Main Flash File
Hi all,

I have some banners made in flash and I need a main flash to contain all banners and show them one after the other in an infinite loop.

I've tried to coy the frames of the banners and paste them in the main flash file one set of frames after the other, but it is a total mess, nothing is in its place.

What should I do?
Should I call the banners from the main flash as separate movies? If so, how is it done?

Thanks a ton in advance!

Help - Flash Movie Plays Fast By Itself, But Plays Slow When Loaded Within Another Flash Movie
I have a flash website which I tried to update recently. In particular, I am updating my photo gallery which I load within another flash using loadMovie. Before updating it, everything worked fine. The update is not completed yet, but I notice that my photo gallery is playing extremely slow compared to before. I did add some new graphics such as fading in and stuff like that, but nothing serious. If I played the clip by itself, ie. typing in the actual photogallery.swf, it plays at full speed. When I run the photogallery through my regular website, meaning loading it through loadMovie, it plays very slow. The photogallery.swf is only 58k in size, so download speed shouldn't be the case. Nevertheless, I tried adding a IfFrameLoaded just in case but that didn't solve my problem. Anybody has any ideas why it might be playing slow when I'm using the loadmovie function and plays fine when I just reference it directly?

Loading A Movie In A Movie Crashes Flash
I am trying to load quite a complex movie (.swf) into a bigger main movie using,

loadMovie ("sub_movie.swf", dropZone);

this works fine for the first scene of sub_movie.swf, but when I go to the second scene which involves lots of duplicate movie clips and tell targets flash just crashes, if I preview in Internet explorer it crashes too. sub_movie.swf works fine on its own and so does my main movie.

Am I doing something wrong?? its driving me nuts!!!

Loading Or Targeting Flash Movie In Movie
The subject might not be to clear but i'll explain what i mean. I designed a webpage entirely out of flash (still under construction but uploaded). I want to be able to display short movie clips i've created in a box i made on the page. So far i can load up the movie from the url but it covers the entire page instead of targeting in that little box. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can You Close The Flash Movie Player When The Movie Is Done?
So I am giving up on the whole scrolling thing... LOL :-)

Anyway, my movie is now complete and it works the way I want it to. Now I would like to put a close button on it at the end... What Action script do I use to do this? The only thing that looks close to me is Unload Movie... but that just closes the movie and not the movie player..... I don't see a script that says close or anything????

Playing A Flash Movie Inside Another Movie
Hi All. I've created a small site out of flash, and the content I have made using Swish. I exported the Swish to an SWF file, then imported the SWF into a new symbol --> Movie, named "Content". This consisted of 20 individual frames. I then accepted it, and dragged the "Content" from the Library into the main piece of movie itself, but when I try to view the movie the imported SWF does not play. Does anybody know how to play a flash movie, inside another flash movie. Cheers,
