I load external swf file into main movie. and i give that child a name page0 there is a bit of code.
[Code]....
so after its loaded i want to insert some text into external swf using main movie. i managed to remove external swf, like this ActionScript Code: holder_mc0.removeChild(holder_mc0.getChildByName("pages0")); but i wonder how to insert text into that swf. i don't understand how hierarchy works, when you addChild, what name should i use for my external files. for example ActionScript Code: holder_mc0. ?????? .mainTemplate.tContent.text = "TEXT"
The title of my main file is "Gabriel96.fla". Inside this file I have a movie clip called "home movie". Inside this movie clip i have a button called "Symbol 32". Once this button gets clicked, I'd like it to go to frame "joe" which is inside a movie clip called "porrtfolio", which inside a separate file called "portfolio55.swf".

View 15 RepliesI wanted to have a sound playing (loaded external mp3) and then have various buttons on the screen that load an alternate song in its place.
This is what I'm trying to do:

music1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, music1);

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

I am trying to control movie clip to anther swf file but its not working how to do .
View 1 RepliesI have a file to which I do not have the source - a flash header with an obnoxious sound intro and I need to mute all sounds. Without the source I am limited as to what I can do. I have some as3 code that I am using to try and load the swf into and mute(building in FlashDevelop). Here is the code in question:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.SoundTransform;
[Code] .....
This code above still plays the audio and the original swf is not being displayed. So, my questions are:
How would I mute the external audio?
How would I display the external swf just as it does when viewing it directly?

I am totally new to actionscript.I found a slideshow which uses an xml file to load jpgs. (albumV2.swf)The xml contains jpgs, and captions.When I publish it on its own...works fine.Now I'm trying to place albumV2.swf inside a deeply nested mc.I'm using a button to navigate to the target movieclip (holder_mc) which I want to contain the external swf.[code]when I test The albumV2.swf loads, I can see the background for the photos. But it won't play.There are thumbnails in the swf that don't show, but there's also a timer and counter in the swf that do show.All the photos are called from the xml doc, but I can't see them. However, I CAN see the first caption that's in the xml.doc. and only the first caption.I wondered if the code in the original slideshowFLA uses some hierarchy that I'm screwing up, but shouldn't the xml be fine once it's found?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.
View 1 RepliesIt's all about loading and unloading external swf's.My code is working perfectly though I just have some questions about load and unload issues.
------------------------------------------------------------
I have three buttons on the stage and it should load its external SWF
homeButton_btn - home.swf
page1Button_btn - page1.swf
page2Button_btn - page2.swf
Each of the button should load it's external SWF's intro when click.My problem is that I don't know how to command the button to play the swf's outro and then load the next swf everytime I click a button. Example: When I click homeButton_btn, the external swf should load "home.swf" and then if I am going to click page1Button_btn, the outro of "home.swf' should play and then once it reaches the end of it's timeline, it should load "page1.swf". Same goes with page2Button_btn, whatever swf that is on the stage should play it's outro first and then load "page2.swf"
My questions are: 1. How can I control the external SWF to play it's outro and then load the next SWF.
2. What code should I put at the end of the external SWF's timeline.
3. Where do you think I should put the preloader? Is it better to put it at the external swf timeline? or on my main swf timeline?
4. Does load and unload of external swf also work with movieclips? Like for example I will not use a external swfs, instead I will use movieclips to load and unload its content.My Actionscript 3.0 code
var pageContainer:Loader;
pageContainer = new Loader();
var nextMov:String;[code].........

im trying to do is load an external swf file into a "base" file but play a certain frame number or label in the external file.I have a file called base.swf file which is level0In base.swf i have nothing but 1 frame with the following AS code:loadMovie("top.swf", 2);This works fine and loads and plays top.swf, but how can i load top.swf and play a certain frame label or number as soon as its loaded. Ive tried the following which does work but i hope it kinda explains what i want to do.
loadMovieNum("top.swf", 2);
tellTarget (_level2) {

code that will load and play a folder of flv's continuously?I have a folder of short clips i converted to flv. When one clip finishes, i want the next clip to play and to endlessly loop through the flvs, never stopping. If there's a way to include a transition, that'd be cool too, but not important. I've got the first clip loading, but can't get the next to play.
Code:
var video:Video = new Video();
addChild(video);

View 3 RepliesDoes someone have a working fla to illustrate how to load an external movie and zoom and pan to specific location of this movie (with easing)? With actionscript, not necessarily with a control for the user. I am looking for it for some time and unfortunately my programming abilities are not yet sufficient to find it out from scratch (but I am working on it).
