I have some buttons that load an external flash file into the container movie clip with this code:
[code]...
So it plays the tweening out animation of the file that's already loaded, then loads the new file, playing the tweening in animation. However, currently the container movie clip is empty when the flash movie is played. I want to be able to have some content already loaded in it, but when I use the container .loadMovie("start.swf") code, it just keeps loading start.swf into it when any of the other buttons are clicked. Is there a way I can have content load when the flash movie is started, but when any of the buttons are clicked, for it to tween out, and basically, never reappear?

I have attached two pictures. Basically I am making a website. The main navigation loads in external swf's through a container movie. For this I have used this tutorial : [URL]. What I want to do is- when you rollover the navigation bar, be it the text or the coloured block- I want it to scroll down and reveal the 'sub navigation'. (pic2) It's like a drop down menu but kind of the other way around. Then, when you either rolloff of the navigation bar or click on a menu button, it slides back up to its original state. (Pic1). I have played around and only managed a sloppy version which doesn't work very well, especially when you resize. I think a simple answer to this is if I could get my buttons to work inside a movie clip. I had tried this but then the swfs wouldn't load properly.

when loading/unloading external swfs into a container movie,i`ve noticed that any intervals (within the loaded files)i`ve used are not being cleared despite the movie being unloaded causing errors when the same swf is reloaded. Without manually clearing all intervals is there a way round this?

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I am doing a website with external swf using AS2 . The parent frame (container) is resizeable, the external swf is an animation. Some items draw outside external container. The external (swf with animation) will resize when parent frame (container) resized in scale.
The problem occurs when the parent frame resized, the flash programme define the width of external swf, such as the movieclips/jpeg outside the scene. (for example: both my Container and External swf are 1024x640. However, some of the graphics in the External Animation swf move outside this area. BUT the parent CONTAINER still RECOGNIZE and LOAD the content outside the defined stage.)
i found this izzue in FLEX, [URL]
Therefore, I would like to know if I could fix this in Flash CS3 (AS2) ?

I have an empty movie instance called 'contentClip' sitting in an swf called 'middle' on the main timeline. I have a number of buttons to call external swfs into the contentClip but I'm struggling with the exact script. I am creating a fluid layout so I am using an actionscript file to place the header, footer and middle sections. The script I have for the buttons follows but my poor knowledge is creating a new instance rather than filling my contentClip instance.

To load an external variable to load one movie, on the data.txt I have myVar=video1. My problem is that It is not loading video1.swf to container mc, but the trace to the variable name is correct.

I have a SWF that uses a XML to load other swfs and put them together.
I try to load my main SWF called "preview" in a movie container in a .fla
But when I publish my "index", the movie container only loads PREVIEW without the content.
My AS for preview is:
stop();

I'm loading movies into a container loader BUT when I load in one of my games it runs real slow. Is it because I should have removed other movies first ie: They seem to be all in there and stacked on top of each other.
import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.display.Loader;import flash.events.Event;
MyButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, this.startLoad);function startLoad(e:MouseEvent){ var mLoader:Loader = new Loader()

I'm working with several nested movie clips. My Main container (the GUI), and the content MC's. The Main Container loads, via a button, another SWF file into the MC
"_root.content" (_root.content.loadMovie("filename.swf"))
Within that loaded swf file I've got a script to load information from an XML file, and add it to several dynamic text boxes. The XML loads fine, and the SWF file works fine, as long as it isn't in my container movie..
itmHeader = _root.attachMovie("movieName", "movieAlias")
I have tried root, parent, and this.. and none of them work while the SWF file is loaded into the container movie.. and the only one that works when I run the SWF file by it's self _root.attachMovie is the only command that shows the information as intended (at all).

I want to load a completely scripted movie into a container clip but when I test it none of the script is executed. When I load a movie that is just a tween it works. What should I do to make the script work??? i have a feeling it has something to do with _root it the loaded movie.

I'm creating a site with buttons (movie buttons) targeting a container clip on the root which targets transitions in external swfs. I'm having trouble with my code in targeting the container.
I know how to do It with a normal button but not with a button inside of a movie clip...
I can use movie buttons for this because they just look better.

I have a main SWF with an empty MC holder and all of the main navigation button on actions. When the buttons are clicked it then loads an external SWF into the empty MC. I am having trouble telling the button to load the movie once and then stop loading if someone clicks on the link again. I want to prevent someone from double clicking to cause the animation to blink. *rapidly click on "home" to see what I mean.
[URL]
All of my button actions look like:
home_btn.onRelease = function(){
loadMovie("images/6661_home.swf", _root.dropzone);
}
I have read numerous threads but for some reason can't find a fix for this.

I am creating a full site in flash. The main movie has an empty movie clip in the middle of the movie to load external movies as the user clicks on the links. Everything has worked good so far as the linking has only gone 1 level deep. However, when I created a new external movie, and had buttons on it for another external page, but yet to open in the main movie, I can't get anything to work. Example.... In the main movie, the user clicks on the archive link, and the external archive movie is loaded into the main movie. Now, on this archive movie, there is a button on it that links to a another movie (say text effects.swf). However, when they click this button for text effects, I can't get it to load into the main movie clip and replace the archive movie that was currenlty there.

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
[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 would like to set height after I load an external movie into a movie clip.
For example,
this.body_mc.loadMovie("body_about.swf");
_root._height = this.body_mc._height;
I always get height as 0, because body_mc is an empty movieClip.
how to access the body_about.swf height as soon as loaded the movie into the empty movie clip?

What I am trying to do is basicly a button, where I can exchange the color of the button and the displayed icon (square, question mark, arrow etc.) via script separately.
Currently I have two containers. One is a MovieClip container for the icons, where I have a different icon in each frame and another MovieClip container for the button backgrounds, containing the same button with different colors in each frame. The icon container is the same for all frames of the button container.
Its instance has a name. In the script layer there is just a stop(); in every frame. Now the problem is that due to background and icon both being a button symbol (they need to be in order for them to have the 'down' and 'over' states), that the build-in click events are handled separately, meaning, that when the icon is clicked, only the icon's state is changed to 'down' and if the button is clicked, only the button's state is changed to 'down'.

I am trying to load an external swf without having to use any buttons. In other words, when the main flash loads, the external one loads as well automatically.
I found the following script that does seem to load the movie, but it won't play...the first frame of the movie just sits there without playing. Obviously I'm missing something? I have this action in the first frame of my main movie.[code]...

Movie1 loads external Movie2
Movie2 attaches the loading bar "loader"
Within loader there is a bar, that bar's width depends on the var picPercent on the Movie2 timeline.
So I used
Code:
onClipEvent(enterframe){
this._width = _root.picPercent;
}
now my problem is, it's trying to get picPercent from _root, but it doesn't move. Is that because it's looking for picPercent from Movie1 and not Movie2 like I'd like?

I have a group of buttons that coordinate with eachother, and i want them to be there throughout the whole website with only a small rectangle that changes when a button is pressed. I have attached a picture of my layout, and i want to be able to import '.swf' files into the empty grey rectangle.
I have no idea where to start and where to load my external swf's, and the best i can do right now is to duplicate the scenes and use normal links, but that takes away the look of my buttons when switching from one page to another.how to make a pre-loader for the external swf's also?
