I've had great success with loadMovie and loadMovieNum, but occasionally I see something in the posts about attachMovie. Is there a difference between attach and load, or is one left over from a previous verion of Flash?

Can I trace whether the loadMovie() ... loads the specific content or not?
View 2 RepliesHi,
Ok, first ill explain what im trying to do; Im trying to load .swf files with the names "1.swf,2.swf, etc..." which will be loaded in to container movieclips with the names con1,con2 -> con5. They are randomly generated and there is some code to do a nice roll over effect. The problem is that it loads the .swf clip fine, but the rollover effects dont get attatched. Is this because ive mis-understood how loadMovie(); works ? or are you supposed to use loadMovieNum to load in to a specific level and then work it from there. I have tried both solutions, and i either get the containers with the effect, or just the images without the effect. Here is the code i have so far:
PHP Code:
var number_of_images = 9;
var speed = 5;
var alpha_standard = 50;
for (n=0; n<=5; n++) {
eval("con"+n).movienum = Math.ceil(Math.random()*number_of_images);
loadMovie("/images/portfolio/"+eval("con"+n).movienum+".swf", "con"+n);
eval("con"+n)._y = 44;
eval("con"+n)._alpha = alpha_standard;
eval("con"+n).onRollOut = function() {
this.rollover = false;
trace(this.rollover);
};
eval("con"+n).onRollOver = function() {
this.rollover = true;
trace(this.rollover);
};
con1.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.rollover == false) {
/*
-- alpha fading --
*/
this.alpdiff = (this._alpha-alpha_standard);
this.ualpdiff = this.alpdiff/speed;
this._alpha -= this.ualpdiff;
/*
-- width fading --
*/
this.normwidth = 76;
this.newwidth = this.normwidth+((this.normwidth/100)*20);
this.wdiff = (this._width-this.normwidth);
this.uwdiff = this.wdiff/speed;
this._width -= this.uwdiff;
/*
-- height Fading --
*/
this.normheight = 62;
this.newheight = this.normheight+((this.normheight/100)*20);
this.hdiff = (this._height-this.normheight);
this.uhdiff = this.hdiff/speed;
this._height -= this.uhdiff;
} else {
/*
-- alpha fading --
*/
this.alpdiff = (100-this._alpha);
this.ualpdiff = this.alpdiff/speed;
this._alpha += this.ualpdiff;
/*
-- width fading --
*/
this.normwidth = 76;
this.newwidth = this.normwidth+((this.normwidth/100)*20);
this.wdiff = (this.newwidth-this._width);
this.uwdiff = this.wdiff/speed;
this._width += this.uwdiff;
/*
-- height Fading --
*/
this.normheight = 62;
this.newheight = this.normheight+((this.normheight/100)*20);
this.hdiff = (this.newheight-this._height);
this.uhdiff = this.hdiff/speed;
this._height += this.uhdiff;
}
};
}
con1._x = 50;
con2._x = 181;
con3._x = 312;
con4._x = 443;
con5._x = 574;
Thanks in advance to anyone who replys

I am trying to load an external SWF into my main movie. The problem is only loadmovienum() seems to work and not other method works i have usedLoadmovie() Load Component loading using an object
I have done this many times before in other flash projects but I can't what's wrong this time . I have used the tween class for some animation and that's it. i even tried loading in the main movie even that doesn't seem to work. I don't want to use loadmovienum because then i am not able to define the placement for the SWF!!
difference between loadMovie and loadMovieNum.
View 3 Replieswhen running an SWF some variables are being changed and objects created.If I wanted to restart the clip I have to restore all the variables to their starting values, clear all Intervals if any and destroy the objects created at runtime.If instead I load the clip into itself using [code]
1. what is the difference between loadMovie(swf_file_name, this) and loadMovieNum(swf_file_name, 0) in this context and which one is preferable?
2. Both obviously reset the values. But do these functions perform rubbish collection, i.e. free memory of the objects created at previous run-time, clear Intervals etc to prevent memory leak and processor clogging ?
I've been using the snazzy preloader for a while now, but now I've come to a fork in the road, and it's forking got me baffled. The most annoying thing is I'm sure it's just a basic targetting problem.
The preloader works fine if the external .swf is loaded in by LoadMovieNum, but I tried placing it in on a lower layer in my main movie, hence the LoadMovie (into an empty MC container).
Is there any way to direct a loadmovie to start at a particular frame when you use loadMovieNum?
I have an introduction frame i'd like users to avoid. I loaded the movie into 0 level so that it could function with all the processing speed. alone. however when the user returns to the main movie i'd like them to skip intro and go to frame 15.[code]...
I'm writing an audio recorder in AS3.In AS2, when I loaded up the swf object, the "Camera and Microphone Access" window would pop up immediately. ("Requesting access to your camera and microphone .. allow").However, in AS3, it still works, but there is a noticeable 2-3 second delay before that window pops up.

I've tried to implement the Introduction to ZendAMF without success
I'm getting this error on publishing the flash file:

View 6 RepliesI found similar issues in previous posts, but not this one. I publish a Flash CS3 .swf file,creating the html page and the javascript file too. If I click the html page locally, the sendAndLoad POST will succeed. If I upload the 3 files to the server, the sendAndLoad will fail. If I delete "AndLoad," the Send function will succeed. Url is fully qualified. I think I made a change in a configuration in Flash, because previous packages of this same file worked.

I'm a newbie at Flash...and have a main movie that I would like to load external movies into..for ease of modification of the different areas vice having one large swf.I'm using the loadMovieNum command to load the external swf's just fine. When I play the external swf's by themselves...they play once and stop. When they are loaded into the main movie...they loop.I've placed a "stop();" command at both the frame in the main movie...and also on the line directly after the loadMovideNum line.

View 1 Replieshow to loadMovieNum in AS3?..I know the migration that we should use the Loader type
var lala:Loader = new Loader(new URLRequest("home.swf"));stage.addChild(lala);
something like that?..But my question is if we do LoadMovieNum("home.swf",0); ""lvl 0 > Stage right""its like replace the previous stage with the new stage..whereas the 2 swf have the difference size..when i did with the Loader, thats load covered the previous SWF and the window size didnt resize automatically..
For the past 7 years I have been creating a presentation in CS3 using Flash and ActionScript2. I am using a new plug-in that requires me to use AS3. I basically have about 20 different flash files, and to link all the swf files together I used to use:
stop();
loadMovieNum("gtradial.swf", "1");
When I use this now I receive this error:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method loadMovieNum.
what I need to add/change to make this work with AS3?
I'm setting up a multi-lesson game and using it also as an opportunity to make the switch from AS2 to AS3. It's been a bumpy road but I'm getting it but think I've hit a roadblock.Is there an equivalent to the "loadMovieNum()" parameter from AS2? I have been merrily building all the individual games assuming I'd just swap them in and out of the same level so they purge each other as we go.
