hi there
i don't understand why my site is not working:
i have a example.swf which navigates fine on its own, but when i load that example.swf through a another container.swf, the buttons won't work and i'm not able to navigate in that swf.
-->
i not sure if its because of this: but the example.swf is loaded (using loadMovie) by the container.swf which is on another.swf which has been loaded on a level (using loadmovieNum)
can someone help me understand?
PATHS ( movieclip targets )
Its probably a path problem. When you load a swf into a empty movieclip for example, the swf is regarded as that movieclip. And as movieclips dont have a _root any reference to the _root, ( that will work fine when the swf is viewed separately ) will point at the host swf's main timeline.
Loading external swf's into a _level instead would avoid this problem.
Or correct the paths.
hi thanks for the help.
the reason i used a container was because i needed to scale the loaded swf by 200%. Is this posible with loadmovieNum?
script->
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",10);
_root.container.loadMovie("example.swf");
_root.container._xscale = _root.container._yscale =200;
Also how would i go about correcting the paths?
Yes, and easiest is to put the scaling inside the external swf in the first frame of it, like.....
this._xscale=200;
this._yscale=200;
If you want to scale it from the main timeline of the host swf you the external swf has to be fully loaded first.
Your code might work locally but online I doubt the movieclip will resize.
TYou could use absolute paths to correct the actions by adding the movieclips name after _root
hey thanks a trillion.
Works so much better now.
