I have just finished reading a few chapters of an AC3 tutorial book, and have tried a bit of code. Im trying to code something that loads movies, external swf files in to my main movie in a specific order. But after playing about a bit I realize that I cant even seem to load one movie, much less several in a specific order. how do I load an external swf movie with AC3?
[Code]...
Does someone have a working fla to illustrate how to load an external movie and zoom and pan to specific location of this movie (with easing)? With actionscript, not necessarily with a control for the user. I am looking for it for some time and unfortunately my programming abilities are not yet sufficient to find it out from scratch (but I am working on it).
View 2 RepliesI am building a flash website and on one of the pages you can play a shoot'em up game that I made using flash.
I am doing this by dragging the swf file into the flash website.This works but when the games is activated it does not work propably anymore in the new flash website..
I can't figure out why. The swf works fine on its own in a webpage and has been sitting on a website of mind for years with no probs.
I have the following problem: I have a small swf with 2 frames that brings weather data from [URL]. There's this script in frame 1:
[Code]...
Movie A: plain flash with loadMovie("movieB.swf", _root.myTarget);
Movie B: Complex flash with lots of actionscript.
The problem is that Movie B's actionscript uses a lot of "_root" which means when Movie B is loaded into a Movie Clip in Movie A all the "_root." actions won't work.
Is there a way of writing a relative path? so that Movie B works if it's opened directly, or if it's loaded inside of Movie A?
My Preloader movie is constructed with external Preloader.as class as follows :

I am trying to load an external swf into a movie clip.Within my index.swf file I have a button that when released loads another swf into a movie clip within the index.swf. I have done this before and have no idea why it is not working. When I publish the movie I get no error reports.Here is the script:
on (release) {
_parent._parent._parent.contents.loadMovie("apache .swf");
}
All swf files are within the same folder on the server as well.

I have a main movie (let's call it Movie 1) with a menu in it. Through that menu you can load several external movies into a container (lets call them Movie 2 and Movie 3).What i want to do is this:When i load Movie 2 into the container in Movie 1 at some point of the timeline of Movie 2 there is an actionscript that tells to load Movie 3 in the container of Movie 1.

If it is possible how can I access loaded object? Like any other instance?
I have an external swf load when one rolls over a movieclip. That works fine. But I also want the external clip that loaded to go away after they roll off of that. This is what I have for code:
ActionScript Code:
movieClip.onRollOver = function(){
emptyClip.loadMovie("external.swf");
[Code]....
It looks like I can't just address the instance of the emptyClip for this. What do I address to create an onRollOut command?
I have an xml photo gallery which i'd like to embed in one of the tabs of my sites. I've tried to do this by loading the external .swf file into a movie clip which i called empty_mc, using the following code
ActionScript Code:
var empty_mc:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(empty_mc);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("main.swf");
empty_mc.load(url);
When I load the .swf on its own, the photo gallery works fine, yet when I try to load the swf via the movieclip, it gives the following error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at main()
(All of the relevant files are in the same folder)

What do I have to change so it doesn't load the whole movie but only the scene it's in, I don't want to load everything at the same time... And if I load a external swf in my movie does the loadBar load this or do I have to put this script in the external swf file.
I am loading external *.swfs into a blank movie clip that sits in the main timeline of the master movie using the following code: _root.loadMovie("module1.swf","container");
When the new movie loads, it seems to replace the entire master movie with the new *.swf. I want it to simply sit on top of the master...this is probably pretty obvious, but I appear to be missing something.

The file I'm trying to load is called PhotoViewer.swf... But that file physically has nothing on the stage all it has is in the publish settings, at the action script settings in document class it says PhotoViewer, a .as file which I have... Its like a gallery and it uses an XML file... I want to be able to switch back and forth between 2 "Photoviewers" loaded by the buttons, only displaying one at a time.

View 6 Repliesi have a flash movie that loads in two external swf files.
The movie has two buttons each of which loads in a seperate movie, now this allworks fine and to be honest i just used the script assist function to make it all work.
Now my problem is that if i press button number one it loads in the first movie but then i have to press button number one again to unload the movie which means if i press button number one followed by button number 2 i do not unload a movie and they both play together one on top of the other.
is there away that i can have each of the buttons check to see if a movie is loaded and if it is unload it first.
below is my code.
ActionScript Code:
button_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_3);
var fl_Loader_3:Loader;
