[F8] external swf loaded in

[darkson01]

i have a login swf that works on it's iwn. it has the actionscript below:

keyframe

stop();
userinput.restrict = "a-zA-Z0-9";
Selection.setFocus(userinput);
passinput.restrict = "a-zA-Z0-9";
status = "Enter your information and submit";
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (checklog == 2) {
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
		gotoAndPlay(27);
	}
	if (checklog == 1) {
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
		gotoAndPlay(15);
	}
};

button

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
	status = "Begin Login Process - Wait...";
	loadVariablesNum("newlogin.php", 0, "POST");
}

when login.swf is loaded into another swf the login doesn't work but it works when it's on it's own. anyone got any idea how to fix this?

sounds similar to my problem posted here. It seems like loding in .swf's doesn't like to load in the code with it. I'm tryin all kinds of places to find out how to load in .swf's and keep the code but noone seems to want to show me the way.

If I understand you guys, you need to lock the root in your external swf.

try placing this code in the first frame of your external fla

this._lockroot = true;

the reason your code isn't working is because when you load the external swf into your main movie the root becomes the main file, your code is written to work if the external file is the root, so by locking the root in the external this will not happen, hope I helped

Well, that fixed mine, thanks sooo much freshly!!!!

i added that and changed the code to this:

stop();
userinput.restrict = "a-zA-Z0-9";
Selection.setFocus(userinput);
passinput.restrict = "a-zA-Z0-9";
status = "Enter your information and submit";
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (checklog == 2) {
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
		_root.gotoAndPlay(27);
	}
	if (checklog == 1) {
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
		_root.gotoAndPlay(15);
	}
};

still not working!

anymore suggestions?

did you try adding

this._lockroot = true;

to the timeline in your external swf, if it still doesn't work than you know its not a root issue. Other than that I don't really know.

You could post a source file and I could look at it.

[darkson01]

yup, but would i have to add it to a kyframe that runs throughout the whole movie timeline?

[freshly]

ya just place it on the main timeline of your external swf on the first frame.

Don't place it in your MC, just on the main timeline. The frame that you place the code on does not have to run along the whole timeline because flash recognizes it on runtime.

still not working, here's the .fla

Sorry I need both files to see exactly how they are interacting, also, what exactly isn't working?
