Re: [Flashcoders] loadmovie
Theodore, How was holder_lesson created? If it has been scaled up from some other mc, the loaded movie will also be scaled up. Best to use a non-scaled clip as a holder. AS2 example: this.createEmptyMovieClip(holder_lesson,this.getNextHighestDepth()); holder_lesson._x = 10; // or wherever you want to place it holder_lesson._y= 10; // or wherever you want to place it holder_lesson.loadMovie(lessons/ + _root.wlesson + .swf); As Bob mentioned, you can also resize after loading but you must wait until the onLoadInit event has fired. In AS2 you'd use MovieClipLoader class to handle this.

And if you are loading it into a clip that you've set _xscale + _yscale on, the movie replaces those properties when it's loaded. loadMovie essentially replaces the movie it's called from, wiping its properties.

Yes, my apologies.
I guess I was mixing up dynamic properties with the standard properties.
Dynamic properties do get wiped, but standard ones are preserved, as Marc
states.

loader2.onRelease = function(){

Sorry, but as far as AS2, you're wrong. A loaded movie inherits the
properties of the clip it's loaded into. Test it yourself. Create
circle.swf, a movie of a round circle. Create a base movie with two
loaders (loader1 and loader2) based on a square mc. Code it like this:
loader2._xscale = 50;
loader1.onRelease = function(){

Test the base movie. loader1 loads the circle as a circle. loader2

Hi,
You need to keep duplicate files if you want it to work as single and

when loaded from main movie.
Easiest way is to create an xml directory at the place where the main

resides and set the path as xml/1.xml
also copy this directory in the screens directory
so ths ame path will work for both :)
Hope this helps

Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie from subdirectory - change base path
Hi,
i think this applies to using an html file in location a loading an swf from
location b.
Seeing Amanda has two different basepaths, setting the base to nr 1 will
confuse nr 2 and vice versa.
Copying everything to the same directory like Bob said seems a good and
simple solution though:).

Hi,
You need to keep duplicate files if you want it to work as single and

Easiest way is to create an xml directory at the place where the main

also copy this directory in the screens directory

One simple solution would be to physically move your controller swf into
the screens directory and run it from there. Then they'll all have the
same path and no retrofitting needed.

Thanks for your replies! It seems that, despite my fondest hopes, there is
no easy way to retro-fit hundreds of SWFs originally built without this
loadMovie() requirement in mind.

Well, to dig deeper, it's hard to comment because I don't know what _root.menu_ds.hasNext() does, or how _root.menu_ds.Type is set, or how dupButton is determined. There could be any number of things wrong there. Why are you using a while loop out of curiosity?

For those situations, I usually create an empty movie clip and attach from the library.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
Tony, You just have to access them from the scope they where born to. I can access them indeed in the scope where they are created. But the problem is that I can't add other assets (movieclips) to that scope. I want this because I want to separate code from viewing assets, and import different templates. I want for example to put my video object on the scope of my imported assets so I can mask my video object. I want to use a mask of the imported assets and I want to put some imported assets like a shadow border on top of my video. This is only possible if I get my video object on the same scope as the imported assets or if I get the assets that I want on top of the video object in a different movieclip (duplicatemovieclip). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Lee Sent: donderdag 10 augustus 2006 6:49 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library Bart, I don't find a solution where I can get my movieclips away of the library container to some movieclip on the main.swf.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
I think I will be forced to use the bitmap class of flash 8 to take a bitmap of the imported assets and copy thos bitmaps on to the stage :-s This has 2 big disadvantages: - processor overkill, first load a movieclip into a container, take a bitmap copy of that movieclip, create new movieclip, put that bitmap into the new movieclip, remove the movieclip from the container (imagine this for 500 assets ...) - the quality of a bitmap is not that of a vector, so I will have to make the vector movieclips quit big so I don't lose to much detail when I make a bitmap and a user scales his window to a bigger screen. I'm getting disappointed by Flash, how old is this program?

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
First of all, try MovieClipLoader to load your swf's..
If you don't want to use a runtime shared library, then I'd suggest
making each movieclip you want to load at runtime a separate swf.
You can export MovieClips directly from your library.
also, as long as it is set to export for actionscript, you can attach
any MC you want, to any other MC you want at runtime.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
Thx for your reaction.
Unfortunately a shared library for each movieclip, would result in over 1000
swf's and this all for just calling some movieclips from an external
library, is overkill I think.
I hope there is still a better way for doing this.

Hey Jason, Thanks for your reply. Sorry, it was just a typo mistake (C:\\ pages.swf). I just want to know problems of loading the SWF file on root movie. Creating a new movie clip and loading that SWF file in that will solve the purpose but it is not clearing my doubt. Let me explore this problem in more detail. If I am loading the movie clip in some other movie clip (except root) then the control will be still in previous movie. But I want the control in new movie clip which I am going to load.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem?
Well, a couple of reasons. I mean you can, it's possible, but the reason for container clips is so you have the ability to load more than one clip. If you load into _root, everything in that movie clip will be replaced by the new clip you are loading in, and if you try and load a second clip into _root, only the second clip will appear, the first clip will be overwritten: loadMovie(clip1.swf, _root); loadMovie(clip2.swf, _root); //only clip2.swf will appear And loading from c:, I can't see how that would be wise in almost any circumstance, but maybe you have a reason to do so. As for _root itself, a lot of people will tell you its not wise to reference it, because as Flash applications gain hierarchies, _root changes often and is not a reliable reference to hard code into your application. I don't mean to be harsh, only to answer your questions. Hope that helps.

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem?
This line:
_root.Test.loadMovie(clip.swf, _root);
Should either be:
Test.loadMovie(clip.swf);
or
loadMovie(clip.swf, Test);
(and drop the use of _root gollygoshdarnnit!)
You have instead combined both methods. By stating the movieClip name first
and then LoadMovie, the second paramter is not needed. If you don't state the
movieClip being loaded into first and then LoadMovie, then you do need the
second paramter to tell it where to load the movie clip in to.

Hi Jason,
Again thanks for your reply.
But still my doubt is not clear. Please check the following
code...
// Code on first movie clip.
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(Test, 1);
_root.Test.loadMovie(clip.swf, _root);
// Introducing a dummy time interval to wait until SWF file is not
loaded.
_root.$SI = setInterval(_root.func, 10);
function func () {
if ((_root. Test.getBytesLoaded() == _root.
Test.getBytesTotal())
_root. Test._height 0 _root. Test._width
0) {
// Going to second page in loaded movie.
_root.Test.gotoAndStop(2);
clearInterval(_root.$SI);
_root.$SI = undefined;
}
}
// code in second movie clip.
// Displaying the name of the movie clip creating in first
clip to load
the clip.
trace(_root.Test._name);
Now it will work fine. But in case of loading the movie in root it is
not working. It will load its first page only. Please let me know if I
am not able to clear the problem.

it should be :

Not sure the setup but the vars are getting wiped away for sure so its

the variables out. Loading them into an emptymovieclip, shouldn't.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loadmovie and sounds
attachSound() - method which attached sound object from library
if want load sound you must use method loadSound()
if you say gotoAndPlay(step2) in event onSoundComplete() - you say
it objSound but not you movie
use link to movie clip, example:
var objSound = new Sound();
var handler = this; //link to movie clip with label step2
objSound.attachSound(step1)
objSound.start(0, 0)
objSound.onSoundComplete = function(){
handler.gotoAndPlay(step2)
}
stop();

Hello I am using LoadMovie to play multiple swfs within the loaded swf I
am using the sound object as so
var objSound = new Sound()
objSound.attachSound(step1)
objSound.start(0, 0)
objSound.onSoundComplete = function(){
gotoAndPlay(step2)
}
stop();
Although I can not get the sound to play when loaded into the parent
clip. What should I change in the loaded file to play the sound?
