Is it possible to load a .swf into an empty mc that is dynamically created, behind a layer on my main flash file?
I want the loaded .swf to load behind the interface buttons on my main flash file? Is that possible or do I need to put the interface buttons on a separate .swf and load that .swf in?
_root.loadMovie(_root.gamename, _root.game); ... that is the code im using to load a movie into an empty mc on the main .swf This code is in a movie that is also loaded from an empty mc in my main .swf 'gamename' is defined in the _root movie and 'game' is the instance of the empty mc where I want it to load. However, when the swf loads, it just loads at 0,0 in my main .swf and not where the instance of game is located.

I have a problem with buttons and transitions and it is similar to a problem I had a couple of days ago that I posted and that was sorted out. I have two buttons onstage (they're inside a movie clip) inside the movie, on the button one I have the following

I have similar code on button two and this does indeed make the buttons move into place as required. My problem is this, I need to load in external swf files into an empty movie clip on the main stage called container. These External SWF files have transitions and this is where my problem is. If I place a normal button on the stage it works but not if the button is inside a movie clip and has actions applied as above. The code next is what I have believe should also be placed on the button to make swf transition one load in.

View 3 RepliesBased on the Kirupa Flash XML Gallery, I tried to expand it as far as I could. Right now, it loads the images, generates buttons dynamically according to how many images are in the XML que, and each image is hyperlinked. I want to load in a swf file dynamically via XML into an another empty movieclip everytime I go to a new image. In another words if I have 9 images in my gallery, each image is assigned a swf file to load into another empty movieclip.

View 3 RepliesI am using preloader from the main swf file to load other swf file, if i use a preloader inside my other swf file then it wont show so sorting that problem I am referencing this nice material on preloaders [] I have sorted the preloader problem by calling the preloader from the main swf file and hiding the other swf file till its fully downloaded. but now the problem is I have got no functionality from that swf file, i mean i have got that mouse effect in the other swf file that where ever you move the mouse in the screen the showreel adjusts itself but its static now.
I have got this container mc in my main swf file, and i am using the other swf file by clicking the button, the swf file loads in the container mc after showing the preloader but its kind a static.
I can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.
View 1 RepliesI wanna know if it is possible to load an SWF file, from a main swf file, but OUTSIDE of it. What I mean to say is, to open it as it was a completely different thing.. like, for example, when you click a link of a video on a website and it automatically brings up your windows media player.. i dont wanna load the swf inside the main swf, I want another flash player to pop-up and play it separately..

[URL] what i would like to be able to do is when embedding my flash file with the empty text field, put a "?" after the .swf and then put something like "url" with that, in the actionscript i would have it set to go to: [URL] so if i did myserver.com/test.swf?url=ben the flash file would load, and whatever would be in: [URL]would load into the text field in the flash i would already have the url labeled, just need to place the name of the txt file in the .swf? and then it would load properly

View 8 RepliesI'm trying to get a swf file to play in a main swf file. I can get it to play, but it always appears in the top left corner. I've tried several different methods to position it but every one of them either doesn't work or won't play the file.Here's what I'm using right now.
Actionscript Code:
stop();loadMovieNum("circles.swf", 1);var xset = 381;var yset = 179;
The swf plays just fine, but it won't take the coordinates.I also need to get it to stop when I go back and the command
Actionscript Code:
unloadMovieNum(circles.swf);
doesn't work.A tutor in my class showed me a method to place the swf into a box on the main stage without doing a lot of scripting, just putting in some file-name and size/position references, but he's not available right now to ask how he got that started.
I read a tutorial online on externally load swf file into a movieclip of the main swf.[code]
View 5 RepliesI'm developing a simple Flash application which has only one SWF file. I want the SWF movie to start playing asap so I don't build a preloader for it. What happen if my actionscript code refers to resources which haven't been loaded yet? For example, the code cause the playhead to jump from frame 1 to frame 20 when the movie has just been loaded up to frame 10. In that case, flash player will? Block the script execution, stop playing, continue loading from frame 11 to 20 (without executing script), jump to frame 20 and invoke script at that frame when it's loaded?
Block the script execution, stop playing, ignore loading frame 11 to 19, load frame 20, jump to frame 20 and invoke script at that frame? Ignore jumping to frame 20, continue executing next statements after the go to frame 20 statement? Or anything else? If flash player doesn't ignore jumping to frame 20, any event is triggered when frame 20 is loaded completely? Note: Answers for the first question should focus on my example, cover all circumstances (such as attach movie from library...)
