I'm trying to use .loadMovie to load a .swf that contains a high res background image for the website. I want it to load hidden behind a layer of black before the user is even presented with the oportunity to move forward.
Is it possible to put somthing like this on the first frame (a black screen)...
Code:
choice = Math.round(Math.random()*13);
switch (choice)
{
[Code].....
then have the second frame contain a button that will reveal the loaded image, but not until the code above is executed and the image is loaded?
i have a button that when pressed passes a variable:
_root.movieToLoad = "testAni";
then the next movie clip thet "receives" the variables needs to play the external .swf in an empty movie clip... i have the code like so:
movieToLoad = eval("external_" + _root.movieToLoad + ".swf");
emptyMovie_mc.loadMovie(" + VARIABLE_GOES_HERE + ", "_self", "GET");
of course it doesn't work... how do i place a variable in that loadMovie?
This is probably a beaten subject but even after reading many post a couldn't understand how to go about it.After doing the following:
PHP Code:
this.crateEmptyMovieClip("myMC",this.getNextHighestDepth());myMC.loadMovie("image.jpg");
-would it be possible to set the _x and _y of image.jpg relative to myMC?You see moving myMC and then loading the picture into it will not me because myMC is to be scaled and manipulated, so its axis must be in the center of the loaded image.
The whole problem is in the title. I have a gallery which looks a lot like coverflow. Each button in it loads a new gallery which is a swf with a new XML. The Problem is it only works on the first time i click on a button. The XML does not renew when i click on another button. It does load the new XML.

I have a flash document that is calling an .swf file into a movie clip via the .loadmovie command. The .swf plays all the way through in the movie clip, but it has problems with the "play again" button at the end. It is not letting go of all the actions from the first play and doesn't reload properly. The .swf restarts perfectly by itself, it uses this code to replay:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
but once the .swf is loaded into the main flash file, the "play again" button doesn't work anymore.
I can apply to the button at the end of the .swf that will allow it to replay when it is loaded into the movieclip in the main .fla file?

Im using loadMovie within a .swf on level 1 to load an external movie into level 2. But when this happens the sound function doesnt work. The 2nd movie being loaded has the newsound defined and everything within itself. It plays if i run that swf seperately or using ctrl+enter. Yet when the 1st movie calls the 2nd movie onto level 1 at runtime.The sound in the 2nd movie doesnt play. But its button sounds all seem to be working.
View 1 RepliesI haven't been able to find documentation on why loaded movies via 'loadMovie' into another movie clip don't seem to obey onEnterFrame commands. The following code represents a movie clip, 'container', which has a loaded external .swf file, 'box.swf'.
I have set the container to begin a decreasing alpha change. I've also added a trace to see if the onEnterFrame is performing at all. What happens is that the box does not appear to have an alpha change. There is, however, a trace that returns an output of '100' only. But no other numbers, suggesting that the command has stopped.
// Start
container.loadMovie("box.swf");
container.onEnterFrame = function () {

My header is an mc with buttons that load swf's into a main content mc with this:on (release) { loadMovie("myswf.swf", _root.holder); and that works perfectly (content loads into mc with no page refresh).But..one of my loaded swf's has the same button code on a button to load swf's into the same mc and I get a page refresh.
View 1 RepliesHow can I make a preloader that shows percentage/bar for a movie loaded in with LoadMovie?I've tried using a normal preloader (the one from Kirupa) in the "to load" movie, but it doesn't work.Is there a way to have the preloader assess how big the movie to load is, how a bar etc. and have the movie hidden until 100% is loaded (as seen on the bar)?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to use a loadMovie function inside a loop to load external PNG files when my game is loaded. Unfortunately, I can't get even a single loadMovie to work correctly, much less execute a bunch of them.The code is on the root time line, and is targetting an empty movie clip that is nested inside about 3 levels. There is a button, with a movie clip on it, and the empty clip I'm trying to load into on that.so the full target path is myBox_00.smallBox.myLogo(myBox_00 is the button, smallBox is the movie clip, and myLogo is the empty)[code].I even tried using a JPG image instead of a PNG and still no luck. The best I could do was number 4; and that didn't work, all it did was SOMETHING instead of NOTHING... unfortunately that something was to make the button (myBox_00) disappear entirely T_T.I've never had much luck with loading external images. What am I missing here?
View 9 Repliesi wanna load a movieclip inside another movieclip with loadmovie or anything like this. so my question is.... could have i access to the location of the loaded swf-file inside the loaded swf-file?example:swf#1 loads swf#2 inside itself, so now the swf#2 should check its own uri with an identical key.. but without access to the loaded uri.
View 2 Replieshow can I get the bytes loaded and bytes total, from a JPG i'm loading using loadMovie? the point it's making a loadbar
Code:

I am really stuck with a loadmovie action that I cannot find the solution to. I have a website that I had to split up as the loading time was too long. I have used a loadMovie function and it loads the external movie but the problem is that the external movie requiring a little bit of time to load I want a preloader to come first.
I have attached screenshots of this (wssmain liks to the arch_mc1) . The problem is that the movie loads but the preloader doesn't play. Anybody has any ideas why?
The first screenshot shows the wssmain whereas the second (preloader2) shows the arch_mc1. If the fla files are required I will make them available for download.

I load my external image into emptymc which is inside mc_container:loadMovie("myimage.jpg", mc_container.emptymc); //placed on main timeline.This works fine. However when I go to a different frame within mc_container(specifically a frame without an instance of "emptymc") emptymc gets unloaded. As soon as I go back to a frame containing "emptymc" it no longer has the jpg.Is there a way I can keep the jpg loaded in emptymc without having to load it again?

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to load a simple .swf (home.swf) and have it play automatically on my existing fla project (as2). These are the steps I have taken.. 1) create MC, named "holder" 2) within first frame of MC, entered in.. loadMovie("home.swf","holder"); Nothing is showing, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If you can help, I can send you the files I'm working with.
View 2 RepliesI am working on my first flash website and have been working on loadMovie & unloadMovie. The commands have been working for me and it will load & unload the external .swf in a contentHolderMC. The problem that I am encountering is the loaded .swf width is correct but the height is being reduced, I would guess to about 75%. Is there a way to maintain the external .swf's size? Even if I need to put the code into the external .swf.
I have tried creating a mask inside the contentHolderMC to match the size of the external .swf. When I have looked around for clues to the resizing, I am finding tutorials on how to resize the external .swf into a smaller Movie Clip. That's not what I am trying to do.
I have this problem: in my swf on frame 100 is a code:
Code:
loadMovie("second.swf", _root.clip1);
I have mc with isntance name: clip1 The movie second.swf loads into the position of clip1 but it's originally very big and I want it to make it smaller so it will fit to my site, if possible i would also like it not to be resizeable (so when someone will have smaller browser window it wouldnt move)
I need to be able to load the movies over the top of one another so that you can still see the movie under it....Can this be done ?????
View 8 RepliesI am using loadmovie AS2 function PHP Code:
stop ();blankmov.loadMovie("newmovie.swf") to load external movie in my main flash file and it works fine, except one problem which is the new movie that loads in the main movie becomes transparent so there is no background displaying in this new external movie. Is there a way to use loadmovie function so that new movie holds its background and it does not become transparent?
I'm making a game where every level is a separate swf. The problem is, when each level starts, it doesn't load entirely before displaying on the screen, and gives me unpredictable results. I also don't want load waits between each level.Is there some way to do all my loadMovie's at the start, loading them into some place where they wont actually be on the stage, and then calling them out one by one as you play each level of the game?
View 3 RepliesI'm having a problem loading a external.swf from another folder outside of my main.swf. This external.swf is being loaded into a empty.swf movie clip. It works when the external.swf and the main.swf are in the same folder, but when i place the external.swf into a images/folder and change the action toloadMovie ("images/external.swf", "main"); it no longer works. Did i target it wrong?
View 1 RepliesI'm not much of a flash programmer, and am a bit lost. What I want to do is the following. I'll have a SWF with two layers, which is being called from a PHP page on my site. The top layer is just an invisible button, and I'd like it to link to a URL that I provide from the PHP page. The bottom layer I would like to load a separate SWF file, whose path I can also provide from the PHP page. I have the URL and the SWF path working just fine in PHP, but I don't know how to pass those values to flash, or how to get loadMovie to work like I want it. Can anyone provide some guidance?
View 7 RepliesFirst things first, please don't recommend I change to AS3 for this. I know, but It's far too late for that and not my project to be dictating..So I'm loading some external swfs in with the loadMovie command, in the normal manner with a button:
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("swfs/example-1.swf", _root.container);
}
But what I need, is to wedge a preloader in there somehow. As the swfs are around 1mb each.I'm already using the following as a preloader for the main file, so an adaptation of it would be very welcome so I can co-ordinate the graphics.With this on frame 1:
Code:
var amountLoaded:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal();
preloaderText.text = Math.round(amountLoaded * 100) + "%";
And this on frame 2:[code].....
Im using AS2. Now, i got this trouble: when i load an external movie into the main one, i had some errors if i put it into a containter mc, with this code: Code: loadMovie ("movie.swf", containter_mc); The scroll bar not only move the movie.swf object, but the container_mc too... So, i just load the movie without using a container, with this code: Code: loadMovie ("movie.swf", 2); And suprise! now the scroll bar works just fine. But... How can i position the movie into the main one? Like: movie._x = 200; movie._y = 200; How can i do that in the right way? (Sorry, but my english its not good enough ha! )
