Hi. I’m making a website with a couple of loadMovie bits of script in. I’m loading these into empty movie clips in the .fla file, to load a photo gallery and a portfolio.
The problem I’m having is they’re not keeping the individual paramaters (if thats the right term) of each .swf file (the movie it’s loading)
For example, my gallery.swf requires the scroller to be at x. 29 for it to work. Dunno why, but i worked around it. However when it’s loaded into the website.fla file, it’s using the x and y co-ordinates of the website, as opposed to the original movie. So, if I place the empty movie clip where i want the movie to load, the scroller doesnt work. However if I place it a 0,0 it does.
With my portfolio.swf the files are not located in the root folder. But my website .fla is. It’s not possible to have the files in the root folder because of the way it works. When loading the portfolio.swf on it’s own the files work fine and are linked okay. But when the .swf is inside the empty movie clip on the .fla file, it’s not going to the correct source, it’s seaching for the files from my root folder as opposed to the portfolio folder where the .xml and sub folders are located. Changing the path it looks for doesnt help either. I tried to make it search for “portfolio/gallery.xml” (as opposed to “gallery.xml”) and that made the rest of the code try to look inside a portfolio folder (so instead of “gallery/design/image1.jpg” it was looking inside “portfolio/gallery/design etc.” whilst already being inside the folder).
[COLOR=“Red”]What I want to know is, is there a piece of actionscript that will tell the loadMovie function to use the original paramters of the movie it’s loading, and not intigrate them with the .fla you’re working on.[/COLOR]
Any help is much appreciated…C:-)
