Perhaps it's the Flash security settings then. I personally find flash
security to be a grey area, but things to check would be:
- That you have a crossdomain.xml file on your server, allowing flash
files to load data from that domain
- That your local flash security settings (from
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html#117502
) have "Always Allow" ticked, and you add "c:\" to your "trusted
locations".
Hope that helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] Fwd: Loading Text files into swfs then loading swfs into other swfs...
Yeah all the files are in the same folder. Its strange cos it works fine
when published inside Flash, but when I try and run it stand alone, or in a
browser i get nothing.

[Flashcoders] Fwd: Loading Text files into swfs then loading swfs into other swfs...
still need some help with this please. I am depserate!
Cheers
Craig.
Hi everyone,
I have 2 swfs, and I want to load them both into one holder movie. Im
loading them in as follows:
tickerHolder.loadMovie("ticker.swf");
clockHolder.loadMovie("clock.swf");
The ticker.swf uses a text file. The file works fine by itself, but as soon
as I load it into the holder movie, it tells me that the text file couldnt
be loaded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Craig.

Re: [Flashcoders] HELP STILL NEEDED, PLEASE!
HI Loren, You can do it the cheap and nasty way, which I like to employ as often as possible :) Simpy put a stop(); frame on the frame on the main timeline where the swf is loaded, and at the end of your loaded swf put the action _parent.play(); This means that the main timeline is stopped, whilst your movie loads in and plays. Then when the loaded swf gets to the end of its timeline, it tells the main timeline (its parent) to play. Hope that helps! Cheers, Craig. On 5/24/06, Loren R.

I am beginning to work with screens and slides. I understand how to load external swfs into my slides or screens.

[Flashcoders] Issue with movieClip.onRelease
Hello Everyone,
I am experiencing a strange issue when I am trying to do an onRelease in the
following code. All it does is cycle through the items in an XML file, then
assign the data to labels, buttons etc. Everything works fine until I try to
assign the URL. Even when I try to trace it out inside the onRelease
function it gives undefined. Is this a flash issue or is there something
here I am missing?
Any help is much appreciated.
