View 1 Replieswhat I want to do is have several external movies, say movie01.swf, movie02.swf and movie3.swf and then have a main movie that pulls in all of those swf's and plays them, sounds simple but I haven't been able to find anyone trying to do the same thing
What I've tried to do is
loadMovie("movie01.swf", this);
loadMovie("movie02.swf", this);
loadMovie("movie03.swf", this);
but this'll just play the last movie over and over, I want a way to say something like loadMovie("movie01.swf", this); then when finished loadMovie("movie02.swf", this); etc etc ..

View 2 RepliesUsing loadmovie I'm loading an external SWF on a different domain. Any property changes made to a movie clip in the loaded SWF don't show in a broswer. container.emc.loadMovie([URL]); Inside movieA is the movieclip "box". I don't want "box" to be visible so I've used container.emc.box._visible = false; All working fine at this point, when I preview the SWF from Flash (CS3) I see that box isn't visible. When I open the SWF in the browser, movieA is loaded but box is not set to invisible. This happens with all browsers or any publish settings I try.

In my asp.net application,I want to show the .ppt file using the slide show manner.
That's to say,user can upload .ppt file to my server side,then other people can browser these ppts in the page ..
Since I have googled "embed powerpoint in web page" ,it seems that there is not a good idea to implement this and support the cross browser,so I thought the flash.
This is a slide show using the flash: [URL]
What I want is show the contents of the .ppt in this manner(it would be better if it support the animations in the ppt)?
I have several movies (movieA, movieB, movieC) that have a button in them that loads another movieb into the same level thus replacing them. My problem is that i need the movieB to start playing from a particular frame depending on which movie, a, b or c loaded it.
I'm trying to find a way of using variables to make it work or maybe just a simple gotoAndPlay function but with no luck. Can you send a variable via loadmovie function?
I have a variable that is refers to the names of folders, and I need to insert the variable into the pathname when I loadMovie. I cannot seem to get the variable to become part of the pathname
loadMovie('VARIABLE/image.jpg', _root.loadhere);
I've tried parenthesis, [], (), do not know the correct way to call the variable.
a) thumbURL is a variable loaded from an XML file. The value is being passed correctly into Flash, as I have traced it and it outputs fine. thumbLoc is a number which increases through a for loop. So thumb0, thumb1, thumb2 etc. are the movie clips I want to load thumbURL into. The thumbURL I'm trying to load is in the format [URL] I have the following code:

The tutorial in The Best of Kirupa isn't working for me! When I try doing this:
rn = Math.round(Math.random()*1000000);
loadVariablesNum ("flashdata.txt?reload="+rn,0);
I get a debug error: Error opening URL "file:///C|/pathtofolder/flashdata.txt?reload=263757" Where the reload variable is the random number and flashdata.txt is the file that contains the variable I need.
Oddly if I use a quoted string, like
loadMovie( "http://www.miniclip.com/games/cube-buster/en/cubebuster.swf" , 1);
it works fine
But if I pass in a variable:
var fullpath:String = "http://www.miniclip.com/games/cube-buster/en/cubebuster.swf"
loadMovie( fullpath , 1);
it fails ???
Can't find anyone else's comments on such an issue.

how do you load in a variable amount of jpgs into an empty movie clip? for example, i have a mc called 'holder' which loads in and replaces the previously loaded jpg every 10 seconds from the folder called 'images'. but how can i make it work if the user first puts in 5 images, but at a later date changes that number to 7 images?
View 1 RepliesI'm designing a game where the levels are too big to be in one swf. so each level loads up a new movie- but if my wildest dreams came true i would be able to, for example, load level 2 and have it remember how well you did on level 1.is there any way to do this? to inject a variable from the first movie to the second one after it takes over?
View 3 RepliesBasically this script works just fine and loads the appropriate movie. The transistion exit frame also works correctly. What I am trying to do is load the movie site_services.swf and jump to frame label "database" after the preloader. I was attempting to use _root.contents.FLabel = "database"; to set the variable.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "site_services";

My problem: I am attaching variable number of MCs dynamically(not in the library), and i have to do so using flash6 or older. How can i use then loadMovie+onClipEvent handler to invoke something, if i am attaching MCs dynamically, and onClipEvent works only on MCs attached on the Stage(actions "on" those mcs, not "inside" them). Probably using classes. Any other option? and if not, can anybody guide me through assigning such class to such mc? EDIT: Ok, i also have done following:
[Code]....
and although the movieClip IS in library, and it DOES have MovieClip class assigned, onData event handler is NOT triggered and nothing is traced. Can the reason be "attachMovie" function?
EDIT2: aha. well, again it happened that attachMovie's methods are not yet initialized, so it was not yet "the proper time to assign" handler onData on those MCs. [only sen knows why ]. So that even trace(mc.stop()); at this point traces undefined, where it should trace [type Function], since stop is MovieClip's class method. Stupidstupidstupid.. relax...
If I published several separate SWF files from several FLA files (because they were too large to work in one FLA document) is there a way to play them automatically one after the other? I looked online and somebody suggested www.swfmergeI tried placing on the last frame of each FLA file the actionloadMovie but I don't know how to define it so that once one SWF file is done, the next one starts.I just open the SWF with explorer on windows so that I can view them full screen (they are for a slide presentation, architecture and I am showing a little bit of animation)
View 5 RepliesI have a template that have some buttons in the header. I add one button because my client needs one more section in the SWF. When the movie loads the behave of the intro is to load the first button running from flag fotogram "s1", but it's not working properly. The button get's stuck and it's not behaving like it should. When I rollOver or rollOut is not doing what it should do. Why is happening this? I'm loading another swf with loadMovie but it's _lockroot = true. I tried not loading that flash but the button is still not working fine.

View 5 Repliesmy next experiments consist on loading a movie/ or gotoframe on a hyperlink with html text that i load from a .txt file.i mean this such type of html code
Code:
visit the site<a href="http://test.com" target="_self"><font color = "#FF9933"> for more info so basicly my intention is, to refer to a hyperlink but just go to a "frame" or load a movie. where you have in your FLA some more info about the site you are going to enter again, i am just experimenting with these things, it has no real purpose but it would be considered nice if it really could work.
