I'm using loadMovie to load a jpg into my movie. When I do, I can't see any of the stuff that was in the movie before (even though it's not in the container MC) Is this a known thing? How can I fix it?
View 6 RepliesI have a movie. In it are some buttons and a dynamic text field. When I press the buttons is should load text from a database into the dynamic text field. If I run the movie by itself (ie. not by LoadMovie()-ing it into a different movie) the dynamic text field gets filled with text and all is well and good. However, when I use LoadMovie() to load this very same movie into my main movie, the buttons no longer work; the text field stays empty.

I can't figure out why this code doesn't work. I am banging my head here!

echo.php simply echos "banner=[URL] " I used a dynamic input text box to catch the value of banner - and it works fine! So I know the loadVariables is working but I can't get loadMovie to actually load the movie. And if I replace this.banner with the text of the path to flashfile.swf, it loads the movie perfectly.
I am using loadMovie to load a movie that has a preloader, but the preloader will not work?

My flash site is created similar to that of the one in Kirupa's full flash site tut. When I click the home button, the
_root.contents.loadMovie("welcome.swf");
action loads in the welcome section (to a blank movieclip). However, "welcome.swf" consists of two scenes - the contents, and a preloader. It was working fine BEFORE I added the preloader scene. Now, all I get is a quick glimpse of my preloader animation (for "welcome.swf"), then my intial movie (navbar) starts over agin.
CODE USED FOR PRELOADER SCENE (IN "WELCOME.SWF"):
1ST FRAME:
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (loaded>=total) {

on (release) {
loadMovie("mymovie.swf", 1);
}

View 14 RepliesI'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.

I want to load a movie loadMovie ("target", _root....) and so on. My question is can you target a specific scene in the load movie command?? I have a movie with a button that loads a new movie into level 0 so it replaces the first movie. Now in the new movie I have a button that unloads the new movie and loads the previous one. But it starts it off at the veru beginning of the movie. I want it to pick up where the first button click took place.

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.

View 2 RepliesI''m currently working on a school project, but I'm having issues with getting the flash loaded with loadMovie. I've read on several forums how to use the command, If I use the command, it loads the flash file. But all variables are undefined and the movieclip in which I loaded the swf file also remains empty.
I've tested the situation with a random jpg and this works.
I'm getting kinda desperate, since I've first tried to use scenes without succes..
When I try to use loadMovie, it will not load to an instance (unless it's something that's in the same directory). I figured this was some sort of security thing, but I was able to load the movie into _root just fine.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to load some swf movies using loadMovie, but I'm having the folllowing problem:
There are three movies: 1.swf, 2.swf, and, 3.swf.
=> 1.swf loads inside 2.swf
=> 2.swf loads inside 3.swf
When I test 3.swf, it plays only 1.swf (exacly where I put it in 2.swf - coordinates) but doesn't play 2.swf.
Everything looks correct, includind the containers.
All actionscript is in the frames and I'm using Flash MX.

View 1 RepliesI will start by explaining where I am in terms of movie clip nesting. home2.swf (loadMovie---->)contact.swf
Now on the last frame of contact.swf, I am trying to call another loadMovie to load contact2.swf, except that it is not working. It simply ignores the loadMovie and the stop() following it and replays the timeline.
My code on the last frame is
loadMovie("contact2.swf","c2hold");
stop();
Just to clarify contact.swf has no other code anywhere before this last frame, only tween animation. c2hold is the instant name of the movie clip holder I have in place.
I am working with Flash MX. I am creating a site with a Main.fla which contains buttons to load other SubPage.swf files. For example, I have a Page1 button with the following actionscript code.
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("page1.swf");
}
It works fine. Now when I work on the Page1.fla, I am trying to load other Movies in the same fashion. It works when I CMD+RETURN to generate the .swf file. However when I CMD+RETURN the Main.fla file and load the Page1 file, the buttons won't load the movies. Is this a Target Path issue? How would I remedy this?
I load 2 movies at the same time using loadmovie() function onto 2 different locations on the flash page. i would like to know if i can have a button in the second movie that can control, lets say play, the first movie when this button is released.
View 14 RepliesI have a color problem when loading a movie clip. I have a root animation with white background including a movieclip. I have to load clips using loadMovie into that movieclip. When I load those movies, who have different background colors, the loaded movie's background color is completely ingored so I always have the white background.
I've tried to find the original background color of the movie I load but no success. Did someone can help me with this problem ?

View 1 Repliesi have 2 scripts that work fine on their own... but i can't figure a way to combine them.the first part resizes an 800x600 image to match the screen size:
bgHolder_mc._width=Stage.width;
bgHolder_mc._height=Stage.width/4 *3;
this works fine on its own if the image is on the stage.the other pulls a random image and loads it into bgHolder_mc:
backgrounds = new array ("background0.jpg", "background1.jpg", "background2.jpg");
function randomBackground () {
randomNumber = random (backgrounds.length);
