how do u write the url for a flash movie that u want to load. basically, when someone presses a button, it loads a movie in that frame. how do i give the url of that movie? c:\somemovie.swf or what?
and after i load it, how do i make it play?
What do you mean?
Do you mean loading a movie into a browser from the internet of from a harddrive? The c:/ in your example is throwing me off. If I were you, I would load a html file into a browser instead of just a swf file - it would look better.
If you want to load a swf movie into an existing, running movie, you would use loadMovie(“url”); otherwise, you would use
getURL(“url”,"_self");
[edit]Flash movies will play automatically if you do not tell them otherwise[/edit]
no i think its just movie.swf but you have to have the movie in the same folder so if the movie you are loading into is
c:\My Documents\movie1.swf
then the other movie (the one that you are going to load) has to be.
c:\My Documents\movie2.swf
but you just have to movie2.swf it.
hope this helps

ya that helps but when i did it and then previed it it doesnt play. hmmmmmmmmmm
ahhh…i did exactly what u guys said but when i right click it doesnt on it it says “movie not loaded”
okay now its opening it in a new window and playing, but i want it to open in the current window
don´t know much as but…
try to script this code om the main movie button that calls the movieclip:
loadMovieNum(“your movie”,1);
Option on as window - don’t send.
If you are calling another html page:
GetUrl:“your html page” and in the same window chose the option “Parent” in the as window
hope it helps
=)
hmmmm…now it just plays within the confines of the button
is there a way to position it by y and x?
also, i tried making a transparent movie and making it “the dropzone” but it doesnt play properly within
