Loading an external SWF

[dwsimms]

I am loading an external SWF onto an Miscorsoft Projector EXE file. But, it is stuck in the top left corner. How do I reposition the SWF?

I have tried creating a new movie clip to act as a placeholder, and loading the external SWF into that movie clip. But, the SWF does not load.

By the way, I am using Actionscript 2.

You should be fine loading an external swf into a placeholder movieclip. What's your code?

I select the movie clip, then I place this Actionscript in it:

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
loadMovieNum ("donations.swf",1);
}

It doesn't return any errors. But, when I try to play this frame, the placeholder loads (it's just a black box), but the video doesn't play.

OK. So, I finally found a way to exactly position my External SWF on the main stage. Here is the Actionscript I placed on an empty layer:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("externalSWF",1);
externalSWF._x=550;
externalSWF._y=300;
externalSWF.loadMovie("donation.swf");
preloadI=setInterval(preloadF,100);
function preloadF(){
bl=externalSWF.getBytesLoaded();
bt=externalSWF.getBytesTotal();
if(bl>0&&bl>=bt){
clearInterval(preloadI);
externalSWF._width =720;
externalSWF._height=480;
}
}

As you can see, I created an empty movie clip and loaded the SWF into that. Now, here is my question. The external SWF has keyboard events to navigate around it. But, when I load it into this empty movie clip, the keyboard events don't work. Do I need to set the focus? Do I need to import the keyboard events?

How do I do this in Actionscript 2?
