ActionScript 2.0 :: Use LoadMovie To Load External SWFs Into 200x200 MCs?
Mar 2, 2007
I've been trying to use loadMovie to load external SWFs into 200x200 MCs arranged on the stage. What I get is a strange placement of the loaded movies, and, the loaded movies don't appear as they should. The loaded movies are really all the same: they display 4 squares that change randomly every 3 seconds.
1) The loaded movies seem to use their center point as the registration point instead of the top left corner. Why? How can this be changed?
2) The loaded SWFs ("1.swf", "2.swf", "3.swf") get transformed from 200x200 pixels to 100x100 pixels. Why?

I'm having a problem with embedding a Flash movie that loads an array of SWFs- specifically, ones that exist in the same movie as the .fla loader file. When I move the external SWFs and .swf load_movie file into a separate directory from the HTML file, they do not load properly. I get just a white window. [URL]. When I keep the SWF movie clips and load_movie.swf in the same (root) folder as the .html file, then everything loads properly, though. But this would extremely clutter up my directory!
The code is as follows:
MovieClip on Stage
onClipEvent(data){
//test to make sure it's completely loaded, when swf's load this way onData is called with each 'chunk' of data
if(bytesLoaded()==bytesTotal()){
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(_currentframe==_totalframes){
_root.loadNextMovie()
[Code] .....
I 'm not sure if there is a way in loadMovie to specify another folder, or the best way to solve this problem. I'm relatively new to Actionscript.

I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

This is my first time ever constructing a web site ONLY using Flash 8. I normally just use elements here and there, and I am totally confused. The link to the project is here: [URL] I want the site to be set up so that when I click a button (at the bottom), an external .swf file loads into that gray box in the center. How do I start? Where do I start? I should be able to figure this out, but I am stuck.

I'm loading (and unloading) external swfs into a holder in my main document. However, they seem to load perfectly the first time, but after that, they load at a different x and y. I've seen this happen before in someone else's file, but I'm not sure what the solution is.
This is the bare bones of it:
Code:
sceneHolder.x=0;
sceneHolder.y=0;
addChild(sceneHolder);

Okay so I am trying to load external swfs which load videos dynamically.
I can load the swfs into the parent fla fine (if I remove all the code and just place a circle or something on the stage of the swf), and the swfs are also loading their respective videos correctly. But when I try to load the external swfs, if they contain any casting related code in them, I'm getting an error
[AS]TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at swf1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[/AS]
Is there some specific method to casting within external swfs?
My code for loading the videos is this:
[AS]var vc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
vc.connect(null);
var vs:NetStream = new NetStream(vc);

We sometimes get swfs at my job that doesn't match our standard banner width and height. We only have the swfs and not always able to get hold of the *fla.So we want to load the swf into our different standard banner size and show it.
How do I load the swf into a new *fla that has my standard stage width:995 and stage height: 150? Without distorting the swf to much. Swf could be loading into a MC or loading directly onto stage.I tried the loadMovie and loaded the swf into a empty MC. But I can't set the MCs width and height.

I've made a component to control the movieclip in the main timeline. The instance name of that movie clip passed as a parameter to the component. That is working fine in that file. But when that file loads into another SWF file, that containes a movieclip to hold the file that is being externally loaded, the methods are not working in that componentThis is the code of the component.
#initclip
function visiblerClass() {
this.what = this.insofitem;

I am using this thumbnail gallery attached but instead of loading images through the xml I want to load external SWF'S.

I've got this down using ActionScript 3, but I am in over my head trying to revert back to ActionScript 2.
I have a main swf that acts as a shell and calls up external swfs via XML upon a button click.
I've read a number of tutorials over the past few hours, and have learned the basics of how to trace the XML information; however, I'm struggling getting the content to appear on stage.

I'm loading external swfs into my main swf and they should just be playing automatically. When I test in Flash, the system works. Upon loading the swf into an HTML page, the system seems to shut down. It seems liike the exteranl swfs aren't even loading. This is what I've got so far.
var clips:Array = ["amerishelf2.swf", "bedHardware.swf"];
var index:int = 0;
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, doneLoading);

I have 2 flash files,one is mine (the main container) and one is a external swf.I want to load the external SWF to my container SWF.I write this code in my AS2 container, inside the main timeline flash (mine flash).In the first method, I add a movie clip with instance name mc1 to the first layer:
mc1._lockroot = true;
mc1.loadMovie("external.swf");
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
This code works fine in most of the cases, but I found many SWFs files that it dosen't work with. These SWFs and work with the following code instead:
loadMovieNum("external.swf",0);
countdown = function(){
trace("ok");
}
countdownIt = setInterval(countdown,1000);
I really try to use that code - BUT !!! -> if I use this code the external SWF predominant, my main SWF code and all the rest of my code dosen't work (like the setInterval() timer).... I want to load the SWF like the second example and still run the setInterval() function.

I am delving into AS3 and need a little bit of help. I am building an application that allows users to view content by clicking "next" and "previous" with a visual cue telling the user what slide they have loaded (slide 1 of 15, slide 2 of 15 etc etc) but I am really struggling with it. I want to load each slide as an external SWF because they are heavy.
I found this code online which loads swfs when you hit a "next button" but I have no idea how to get it to work to load swfs when you click a "previous button" and how to add the slide reference:

currently, I have a XML menu. I followed the tutorial from here: [URL]. It needs more work and tweaking, but that's for later. The menu.swf is from an external SWF and it's loaded into my index.swf using the loader.My question is how can I have the menu load different external SWFs, in other words, different part of the website. Do I create another loader in the index.swf for loading the website's content? Can I use the existing XML file for the loading the SWFs?
Here are the codes I have so far:

I have a small problem,(among many others...) i am loading an external swf using:
this.onRelease = function(){
loadMovieNum ("contentLondon.swf",50)
}
So the ext SWF loads on top of my main SWF, but i have other buttons that will load other ext SWF's. What i would like to do is when an ext SWF is loaded and the user choses to click another link from the main SWF, i would like to have the already loaded one "unload" so that the new one can load in place of it

I was wondering if there was a way to specify the order in which I load in external swfs. I have my main swf which loads in music, navigation and content, they all load at the same time, say i wanted to load in the music swf after the content has finished loading, how would i do that?

[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.

I'm trying to use a loadMovie function inside a loop to load external PNG files when my game is loaded. Unfortunately, I can't get even a single loadMovie to work correctly, much less execute a bunch of them.The code is on the root time line, and is targetting an empty movie clip that is nested inside about 3 levels. There is a button, with a movie clip on it, and the empty clip I'm trying to load into on that.so the full target path is myBox_00.smallBox.myLogo(myBox_00 is the button, smallBox is the movie clip, and myLogo is the empty)[code].I even tried using a JPG image instead of a PNG and still no luck. The best I could do was number 4; and that didn't work, all it did was SOMETHING instead of NOTHING... unfortunately that something was to make the button (myBox_00) disappear entirely T_T.I've never had much luck with loading external images. What am I missing here?
