SWF Problem

[Uwe S.]

Hi,

I have some problems with an imported swf file!
There are 3 key-Frames!
Key Frame "2" (imported swf) should start immediately the "complete swf file"!

If I use editFrame... (PlayMovie) it does not start!

How can I start key Frame 2 immediately and play the complete video, and then: wait till I push the button to get Keyframe 3?


Thanks Uwe

Where (In Frame 2) are you loading the imported .swf?

Are you loading it into an empty movie clip?

If you are, put this in Frame 2:

moveClipName.loadMovie("filemame.swf") ;
stop();

Hi,

thank you for your advice!

moveClipName.loadMovie("swf1.swf") ;
stop();

I see frame 2 but I have to click to start the video!
How can it starts without a click!

...I tried playMovie...start()...but it doesn't work!
Is there a possiblility when the frame 2 is loaded The video starts automatically. If I want to go to frame 3 then I must click the button!

...uff

thanks a lot
Uwe

Obviously you don't own the source file of the "loaded movieclip" (because you can't remove that stop(); action from keyframe 2).
But it's not my business ... :smoov: ...
Set this script in the main timeline:
mc1.loadMovie("swf1.swf") ;
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(mc1._currentframe == 2){
mc1.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
}
stop();

cheers

Hi
still problems...
I will try to explain the steps:

1. KeyFrame 1 some text....after 10 Sec
2. KeyFrame 2 (I imported a file swf - name of the file is adress.swf) I see the frame
3. keyFrame 3 some Text

The Problem:

after 10 sec. Keyframe 1 - key Frame 2 starts (I can see the video swf1) but it doesn't start automatically.
I tried your code in the Score timeline (Frame2 actionscript) but nothing happens.

Thank you very much for helping me...
I tried so many things (simply frame 2 the video should start)

In your previous post you said something else:
Is there a possiblility when the frame 2 is loaded The video starts automatically. If I want to go to frame 3 then I must click the button!

Anyway, I need to see the structure of that video (the swf1 file).
You may ZIP it and upload it somewhere on the net ...

Hi,

I created a new swf file as zip
start test.htm

I hope we can solve the problem
thanks so much

As I thought, that movie is not a simple movie ...
It has this little piece of AS in the first keyframe:
this.loadMovie("ctrlbar.swf");
stop();
So ... use this script:

mc1.loadMovie("test.swf") ;
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(mc1._currentframe == 1){
mc1.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
stop();

That's all.

[Uwe S.]

... no chance!

I tried the swf file but it will not start!
I used your code

mc1.loadMovie("test.swf") ;
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(mc1._currentframe == 1){
mc1.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
stop();

Come on ...
Just put this launcher in the same folder with those 2 SWF files and ... launch it !

[Uwe S.]

thanks ...
but I have the version 5.5
I can not open your fun file....

[necromanthus]

thanks ...
but I have the version 5.5
I can not open your fun file....

1) The FUN file is V5.5
2) No need to open it. All you have to do is to create an empty movieclip (called mc1) in the 2nd keyframe of your main movie and to use the above script.

Hi,

....uff, it is working now! God bless you!
I did not use movie clips before.
That means, the original swf file is not embedded?
It must be in the original Folder?

Thank you very much for helping me.
Bye Uwe :)
