[RESOLVED] Calling External Swf And Loading On A Frame Label

[Jimpaez]

I have a button on my main timeline that calls an external swf file into an empty container movie. How do I load external swf file and play on a particular frame label?
I want to load a file called original.swf and start playing on a frame label called wheels.

any ideas?
Thanks!

You need to load the movie and then add an Eventlistener with a COMPLETE event. Within the listener function you then use

event.currentTarget.content.gotoAndPlay("wheels");

Check the language reference for the Loader class. There are examples.

Thank you for your answer,

i made this:

stop();
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(my_loader);

button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickmouse);

function clickmouse(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     my_loader.load(new URLRequest("a.swf"));
}

my_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, startListener);

function startListener (e:Event):void{
trace("Loading complete");
e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("B");
}

And the output windows show this:

Loading complete
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndPlay not found on flash.display.LoaderInfo and there is no default value.
at test1_fla::MainTimeline/startListener()


What am i doing wrong?

e.currentTarget.content.gotoAndPlay("B");

Thanks for your help is not working yet, the output windows show this:

Loading complete
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label B not found in scene Scene 1.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at test1_fla::MainTimeline/startListener()

It means you don't have a frame label "B" in your movie. Check your movie for that.

thank you for response, by the way i found a solution, an this is it:

var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf");
ldr.load(urlReq);

function loadHandler (e:Event) {

var myClip:MovieClip = e.target.content;
addChild(myClip);

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function clickSub(e:MouseEvent):void {
myClip.nosotrosmc.gotoAndStop(e.target.name);
//myClip.islasmc.gotoAndStop(e.target.name);

}

// set listeners subButtons
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, clickSub);

}

// listener
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadHandler);

Hope this serves like reference......

thank you for your help
