Hi I posted a question earlier but not much help received.
I have a movie called main.swf where I have some buttons on the left and a empty space on the right to load an external movie, everything works fine except my main.swf movie is empty but the buttons so
I want to make when user will enter my site that my main.swf movie will automatically load an external news.swf so user can see some text on my main movie. And then if user wants to click on some buttons it will load and replace news.swf with another swf
Create an empty movie clip (Insert/New Symbol) and then drag and instance of that movie clip onto your stage. Give it the instance name “container” (no quotes).
Drag it to the spot where the upper LEFT hand corner of your loaded movie should be (as this is where it will attach the movie).
On the FRAME when you want it to load add these actions…
container.loadMovie("news.swf")
This will load the movie to your empty movie clip as soon as that frame is entered.
Now when adding other movies, use the same code as above, but in an on (release) on a button or movie clip and change news.swf to your new file. Since it is loading to the same clip, your news.swf file will be removed to make way for the new file.
So what’s the problem?
Use an empty clip to load into, add a frame action in your main movie to load the news.swf into that
[ loadmovie(“news.swf”, holderclip)],
and then the button actions to load the others…
What is causing trouble here?
