*EDIT* i figured it out. my brain was on autopilot. all fixed!

i recently downloaded a FLA (http://odin.prohosting.com/~oldnew/flashtesting/preload.zip). it has been EXTREMELY helpful in solving...

try:

on (release) {
loadMovie("_root.Content.Placeholder.Gallery.swf");

the external SWF had nowhere to load. look in the fixed FLA to see how i did it.

*bump*

somehow, having a movie with this preloader component load into a movie with the same component is causing major problems. i've tried using unique instance names, just on a longshot, but no...

try embedding the text by clicking "Characters" in the Properties palette and then selecting "All Characters".

well, i suppose it's possible to use dynamic textfields to load text into a button, but creating the text for each button in Flash would be far less complicated.

you could always just break up your text and then change its appearance in the Button frame states.

On: transparent text, no bg
Over: text shape cut out of a white box
Down: whatever
Hit: hit...

shift your main movie keyframes over one frame and make your splash page in the first frame of your main movie. put the preloader in frame 1 as well.

well, i can't tell because i don't have the FLA, but i think what you need to do is load your "b_w_scratch.swf" into a blank movie clip on the main timeline of "3dtest.swf".

button code:

on...

i did a quick test of your movie( made a movie with a button like yours, and made it load "web,swf" into level 1) and it works for me in a browser. i don't think it's an issue with your scripting......

i've been using the basic Simple Preloader Component in Flash MX with no problems... until now.

i have a main movie, and i'm loading SWFs into a movieclip on the main timeline. no biggie, right?...

*bump*

Mitya was kind enough to help me out with my preloader problem. i now have a movie that loads a random SWF every time it starts.

but this is only half my battle.

i need a way to make...

sorry, didn't mean to sound like i was pointing fingers.

the code works like a charm! thank you! i am trying to write some code in on frame 200 that will randomly switch the SWF again. if you have...

that code gave me a bunch of errors in the Output window. :eek: i tried to fix it, but no luck.

help?

i've been searching and searching for inforation on how to do what i need to do, but haven't been able to find the right combination of features i need.

here's what i've got:

i've got an HTML...

USS Dubya.

well said: something to waste my time.

this site is uncommonly common. the Ja Rule song is especially common.

a video business card? no thanks, i'll stick with a functional HTML signature.

capty, you tool. just say goodbye and let people throw old fruit at you as you leave. :D

it took too long to load. i just gave up.

my first reaction was "okay design, but why is it so small?" i'm just not a fan of these tiny textboxes with 200 words in them that you have to scroll and scroll and scroll to read. maybe it's just a...

1) make a larger HIT area for your "enter" button.
2) the way you have the letters jumbled up to spell "redabode" is not linear enough. line them up so it spells out what you want it to say more...
