View 6 RepliesI want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????
The function below belongs to an XML based photoGallery.swf... Its menu is automatically populated from the same XML file as well (thumbnail picture, title, description).

I can't figure out why this text file won't load when its parent swf is being called into the main swf but will separately. in an actions layer on the main timeline I'm using this code: _root.contents.loadMovie("easter_scroll.swf"); I'm calling the easter_scroll.swf, which calls Easter.txt, into index_main.swf but the text file doesn't load although the easter_scroll.swf loads. I am confident one of you flash gurus can figure this out.
View 1 RepliesI have a Button that when clicked loads a Flex module in my AIR application. However,occasionally the Module fails to load the first time the button is clicked, but it works the second time it's clicked. When I debug it in the debugger the READY event is not fired so the remaining logic is never called.
var moduleInfo:IModuleInfo = ModuleManager.getModule(managedModule.url);
moduleInfo.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, function(event:ModuleEvent):void {
trace("ModuleEvent.READY called.");

I have a base that contains a load movie action loading "drag_bar.swf" into an mc called "content".drag_bar is a drag menu i created. It works when its opened by itself but doesnt work once it has been loaded into the base file.I know its because the AS in it contains the word "root" but when i changed it to "this", it still didnt work.

View 2 RepliesI 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
[Code]....
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.

I'm trying to dynamically load a SWF into a blank movieClip called "holder" and control it by instance name on MOUSE_DOWN. I'm sure this is easier than I'm making it but the SWF just has a bunch of frames and i want to use one script to scrub through the frames but i can't figure out how ot get the instance name (or whatever) of the movieClip.
// Load movieClip into "holder" movieClip
var loader = new Loader();
holder.addChild(loader);
loader.load(new URLRequest(btn_SWFname));

View 7 RepliesI have a wordpress based site that stores information about an image in a database field called "background" in a table called "wp_postmeta".The 'loader' gets an url such as "/thisImage/background.swf"The "background.swf" should somehow display "background.jpg" instead but since I've changed the field name in the database (from background to temp_background) it doesn't work.I pass variables to the "loader" swf and they are correct based on the new field name but it still isn't working.I need to know if there is anything in the .fla's (and therefore the .swfs) that is pointing to somewhere in the database hard-coded. Basically I need someone to look at them and tell me how they are working.

I am building a portfolio website in which I have a main page and there are links (movieclips) on this main page. When these movieclips are clicked, I use "loadMovie" to load the respective subpages in .swf. I have an "onLoad" function in the subpages but the script within the "onLoad" function never got processed. (The "onLoad" function is used to resize images depending on browser size) However, I have other "onMouseMove", "onResize" functions, and they work fine. In fact, the "onResize" function has basically the same code within as the "onLoad" function, and they got processed just fine.

I have two classes, Init (which is my Document class) and LoadXML which... er.. loads in some XML data.
Init calls the LoadXML and when it has completed a green backdrop is draw to the screen...
but...
Why do I need to put addChild in both classes before the green backdrop (a simple rectangle) will show up.
Init.as
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;
[Code].....
the confusing thing is why I need the addChild twice, once in each class - otherwise the green box doesn't show, no matter which one I take it out of?
And if its twice is that two green boxes on top of each other being added to the stage? one at depth 0 and one at depth 1?
Can the button be called inside a movieclip?
