LoadMovie Problem

[Creative_Chaos]

I'm having a lil problem getting this load movie script to work.
I am getting no output error messages, the placeholder loads, but the movie does not load.
(I have both movies in the same folder, and the Gallery.swf is not buggy.)

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

Any suggestions?

try:

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

no dice.
Can anyone send me a exampel clip, of a working loadmovie using placeholder example?

That made the movie load, but for some odd reason, it's not centered on the placeholder.. What am i doing wrong?

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

with (_root.Content) {
gotoAndStop("Gallery");
}
}

Yeah ive had trouble with loadmovie too.

ok 1st. make sure that you place the placeholder movie in the movie through the library... dont ask i just found that sometimes everything was perfect and once i replaced the placehpolder it worked.

Also the aligning of the movie is no good in flash. try placing the place holder center (white dot) on the TOP LEFT extreem of the screen area you wnat it viewed in.

Sweet! It works!
I also remembered the align window, and you can make the placeholder align to center ot upper left, like you pointed out.

Right click placeholder, and click info, then you align the movie via the little black square.
