loading a movie in a movie to a specific keyframe?

[PsychoFlasher]

I must appologize for something, malta
until now I never understood exactly what you are trying to do, I thought you wanted to load a movie into a specific keyframe!~
dumb dumb dumb me

loadMovieNum("your.swf", "targetMC");
targetMC.gotoAndPlay(20);

that all if Im correct

sorry for the confusion, my previous code must have seemed retarded

[ZonderZout]

That would explain my somewhat overdone reaction, but I once more apologize for that

We have done in a little more complicated manner so far, thanks for this (easier) method!

How do I link the files to this message board.

And for Matla who got the files. What I am trying to do is to create a pop up draggable window that loads content into that window from a seperate swf. So if you test the motion.swf fla and then test the movie1.fla you should see what I was aiming at,both of them have to be in the same file directory. I am trying to recreate those pop up draggable windows from chapter 11 of foundation Actionscript. The content is loaded from a seperate swf for optimum download time.
If you need further information let me know

If you upload the files to a webserver at your disposal, we will be able to take a look at them without you having to send them to us (and others) personally.

Be aware that everybody will be able to see your linked addresses!

If you have enabled "Automatically parse URLs" you can just enter the URL where the movie can be found; e.g. just type http://www.sonik.nl/swf/sonik1.swf and the url will automatically become a link.

Otherwise you should put the url between <url>http://www.yoururl.com</url>. REPLACE THE "<>" WITH "[]" (brackets).

I don't have a web server at my disposal. I can only email you my flas'

[ZonderZout]

In that case there is unfortunately no other option than mailing the movies.

[PsychoFlasher]

I could upload and link it for you if you want

[Matla2000]

Sounds like a good idea to me..
Ricardo??

[PsychoFlasher]

send it to StuartSSS@Softhome.net and Ill upload it.
or just email it. whats wrong with that though? well.....aah whatever, just email it

[Ricardo Waldron]

I have just emailed the files to StuartSSS@Softhome.net .

[Ricardo Waldron]

I found the problem guys
You wouldn't belive what the mistake was. It was so simple.
I had two instances of the movie clip containing the animated text on the stage that is why there was text in the window and outside of the window.

[PsychoFlasher]

do you still want me to upload em, since you found your problem?

[Ricardo Waldron]

It would be nice if people want to take a look at it. And being that it is modular they can reuse form themselves you know. People can create a nicer interface if they want to, that's my plan for this fla. The content that is being loaded in can be anything. But now I need some ideas for a dynamic menu system that displays these popup windows.

[jukjazabel]

my prob is similar but different.

got a swf running it finishes and has buttons.

you click on the button and I want it to take you to a new movie which I have set up to load over the old one in level 0.

it works wonderfully in the player; but from my index.html page it bombs me system.

any ideas?

thx

[PsychoFlasher]

uum..hehe
It seems I set my Outlook settings wrong at work and now all previous emails were deleted of the server including the fla's you sent me. So could you send em again

[PsychoFlasher]

strange
try putting the html and swf's all in the same dir.
what kind of computer and browser are you running cuz Ive heard of some incompatibilities(sp?) with the laod movie command on some systems (dont know this for a fact though)

[PsychoFlasher]

here it is

[jukjazabel]

I was just testing the html on me laptop.

mac - powerbook system 8.5 - i.e. 4.5

tested the index.html

which has my first swf.

on release - went load movie level 0

it just works soooo sweet in the player.

I still havn't up loaded it to the web yet because of my other work load.

I am currently moving it to a computer to email it to you on.

I appreciate the looking into

[PsychoFlasher]

could you post or email the fla so we can have a look at it?

[jukjazabel]

sending email of fla now

will be gone till late this evening.

i'll check back then.

thx again
