FMX LoadMovieNum Help for discouraged newbie!

programming flash
1

I modified Kirupa’s Changing Colors using Actionscript and now I am trying to load the swf into my FlashMX page -

When I use LoadMovie the color changes won’t work.

When I use LoadMovieNum into 1 the color changes work but I can’t dicate x and y positions and the changing colors swf pops up for every button pushed (because I sent it to level 1).

I have tried thisX = _x and thisY = _y and then when I use the other four buttons, those swf are misalligned.

Please help. I’ve checked forums andMacromedia’s Actionscripting book and they all say to use the container box and that won’t work (I’m not understanding why but I’ve tried it several different ways). I can’t figure it out…

Thanks

Try making the to-be-loaded .fla the same size of your main .fla, and then position the objects as you would like them to be.
After that, test it and see if it works.

And…

…WELCOME to Kirupa Forum! If you like, go to the ramdom section and introduce yourself at the Tell us About Yourself thread, to the others Kirupians :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you so very much; it worked like a charm. Funny how it is the small things that can drive you looney!

Thanks again, I spend 4 hours last night trying to get that dang thing to work. Next time I’ll come here after 2…
