Hi folks!

I’m new to this great forum and I’ve just finished experimenting with Kirupa’s tutorial on loading movies:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full\_site2.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site2.htm)

Very cool and straightforward tut, but I have a problem applying it to my website.

Please view what I am attempting to accomplish first so my question makes sense (the site is in its EARLY stages!):  
[http://education.concordia.ca/~CECILE.EGOU/](http://education.concordia.ca/~CECILE.EGOU/)

Please click on the link “Employment”

Basically, the movie loads into the clip, but the jpeg and text (which are grouped) expand;  
How can I keep them to the original size?  
How can I load movies (.swf) of different lengths and have a scroll bar for the whole page, not for the clip box (where the movie is loaded)?

I also read the message from Exedus on Hyperlinks in Flash, but I want to build a 100% Flash site.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sissou:)

hi there

what’s happening with you is that the movie clip wich is beeing loaded is bigger than the space in which it’s loaded,it happens probably because when you put your empty movieclip on the main stage and resized it.if you used a kind of mark,a square or something to know where the others movieclip were to be loaded  
you probably thought that if you put it bigger youknow exactly the space it ocupies,if this is what you’ve done then go to the empty movieclip and inside it put the mark on the size you want if all that i’ve wrote isn’t true then please post your code and i’ll try to help you ,for the other question the only suggestion i have is to make the fla movie bigger than the screen,it makes the browser put a scrollbar automatically

Hi Batmitra,

Thank you very much for your answer and help.

I didn’t use a mark, but I set the relative center point of the master version of the clip in which I load my movie to position 0,0.

So that the top-left corner of the loaded movie lines up with the “center” plus sign of the target “box”.

Please, see the code for the button “employment”:

on (release) {  
loadMovie(“MyFlashResume\_Em\_wClipBox.swf”, “ClipBox”);  
\_root.Intro\_text.\_visible=false;  
}

Thanks in advance,

Cécile

Hi Batmitra,

I’ve just realized that I’ll have to have my movie clip the same size if I want it to work; so I’ll try that and if it still doesn’t work, then I’ll get back to you.

Thanks ever so much for your help Batmitra.
