Hi have this flash xml menu that loads external swf files like this:
<item title="ABOUT" content_path="http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/about.swf" target="" mouse_rollover_color="0xFFFFFF" mouse_rollout_color="0xDDDDDD" />
and I have this swf file with cms that I’d like for this menu to load. Currently the swf file load external text using this code:
if (contenturl1 ne "") {
loadVariablesNum(contenturl1 + "/" + userid + "/content.txt", 0);
} else {
loadVariablesNum("content.txt", 0);
}
but when the xml menu loads this swf file its structure loads but not its data.
I tried using :
this._lockroot = true;
in the loading swf main time line but it did not work.
I should also mention that the dynamic data that loads onto the swf that is to be loaded by the menu, resides not in it main time line but 4 movie clips deep
I don’t know if that makes a difference or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I don’t know what else to do and I’ve been wrestling with this problem for a year now with no solution. my friend who is a really good flash coder says it can’t be done and I’m starting to believe that his right.
the file is action script 2.0
