Thanks, but it's still not happening for me. I tried to use the pre-loader code in one of the links from the link you provided - Nothing.

Would you be able to download my samples.zip and have a...

Here is a test sample fla file. Download the zip please and have a look. This should help outline the problem.

Thanks a lot.

Download the zip

Hmmm, the file shouldn't be too large to download, it is only about 9mb.

Thanks for the code anyway, but I havn't managed to get that working either.

Hmmmmmmm, isn't MovieClipLoader used in MX 2004 just?

I am using Flash MX.

Calling fahlsten, HELP please, lol.

Cheers.

Thank fahlsten, I will do a bit of research on this, so how things run.

Lordgert, I agree with you, I have previously used the _root, however, I am currently using _parent, which loads the file,...

Alright, obviously I'm not giving you guys enough. I have attached the link the zip file of the fla file of the external swf file I am using.

Please have a look at the pre loader code, and help...

Right, here is the zip file which has the fla file of the external swf, which of course has the pre-loader code etc.

Please have a look, and help me out here.

Much appreciated. Thank in...

I have a very similar problem.

My pre loader seems to get ignored. I want to fully load the external swf before the video starts playing.

I have attached my .fla file of the external swf.
...

Alright, here is the code for the preloader inside the external swf.

onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();...

Hi,

I have a similar problem regarding my preloader. I have created a video which has been imported and published as an swf, which is externally linked to through the main swf file of my site.
...

Don't worry about it. I have managed to do it successfully.

For anyone else visiting this thread with the same problem, I managed to solve this problem through this thread:

Oh, got it working.

All I changed was:

on(release){
_root.samplebox.holder.loadMovie("video_1.swf");
}

Thank yooooooouuuuuuuuu.

Hahaha, oops. Yeah, the test is working for me now also.

I am still having problems though. My main movie in which I am using this technique, doesn't seem to let it work. I THINK this is...

Just tried that, and nothing. I have attached my test fla and the external swf so perhaps you could take a look at it for me?

Cheers.

I have made sure the external swf file is in the same folder as the main fla file.

The instance name also matches.

I am using Flash MX by the way. Does this matter?

Alright, thanks.

In the fla file you will have to click on the 'samples' keyframe and access the 'samplebox2' movie clip from there. That movie clip holds the controls, buttons, and placeholder...

I having trouble getting the external swf to even load into the movie clip in the first place. Would you like me to attach the .fla file so you can have a look and perhaps point me in the right...

This is what I am trying to do. How exactly does one load the external swf file into a placeholder mc?
