GOOGLE MAPS ERROR - doesnt appear when its swf is being called by the main swf

Good Afternoon,


Im trying to solve a problem that i have in a flash presentation. Im trying to call to the main.swf other swf that contains some text and a google map. The swf that contains the google map is working fine...but everytime i play the main one, the text appears but the gmap doesnt.

can anyone help me?

the code that i put on the main.swf refering to the google maps one is below (i followed the logic of the gallery that came with the presentation .fla):

// google-maps module
case "google-maps" :
if (firstLoad != true) {
var move1Content:Tween = new Tween(contentBG_mc, "_x", Strong.easeIn, contentBG_mc._x, -500, 0.5, true);
} else {
var move1Content:Tween = new Tween(contentBG_mc, "_x", Strong.easeIn, -500, -700, 0.5, true);
}
move1Content.onMotionFinished = function() {
resetAll();
contentBG_mc.container_mc._visible = true;
loadMovie(asset, contentBG_mc.container_mc);
var move2Content:Tween = new Tween(contentBG_mc, "_x", Strong.easeOut, Stage.width+500, Stage.width/2, 0.5, true);
move2Content.onMotionFinished = function() {
var move3Content:Tween = new Tween(contentBG_mc.container_mc, "_alpha", None.easeOut, contentBG_mc.container_mc._alpha, 100, 1, true);

};
};

Moved to Actionscript forum.

loadMovie(asset, contentBG_mc.container_mc);

give it sometime to load...

errr.....i already had it in my code and it doesnt work

maybe the problem is that the project is in actionscript 2.0....but it has to, cuz if i change it to 3.0 it crashes.

i found out some portable Flash interface for the Google Maps API from Critical Mass (http://code.google.com/p/google-maps...terface/)...im goin to check it out and update the result here..


thank u

put this code in the beginning of the first frame in your google swf and see if it fixes the problem:

Code:

---

this._lockroot = true;

---

in the googlemaps fla or in the main one?

Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _lockroot is no longer supported. For more information, see displayObjectInstance.root..

look in your publish settings - what flash player are you publishing to? you coding in AS2 or AS3 ... sounds like you are trying to load an AS3 swf into an AS2 swf ..

??

Already wrote that the main project is in AS2....but the google maps one is in AS3.

the thing is that if i change the main one to AS3....it crashes, doesnt work.

you cant load an as3 swf into an as2 swf ...

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/...=00000011.html

so either you need to recode your main swf into as3 or you need to find a google map component for use with as2

i already found that out...but thank u anyway.

i'll problably need to recode it...but do u know where can i find help for that?..cuz the project isnt mine, im not an actionscrip "expert".

well gotoandlearn.com is quite good you may pick up some as3 basics from there .. also the flash documentation itself should be really helpful ...

ok thank u..
