Hi. Funny behaviour…I’m trying to load an external MC containing dynamic text (MC-Clip.swf) to a MC empty holder (MCimport) within my main/parent movie. This piece of AS is attached to a button (to call the dyn. txt clip): > on (release) { **\_root.loadMovie** (“MC-Clip.swf”, “MCimport”); } With this, the dynamic text gets loaded indeed… but Fullscreen into the parent movie, and not into MCimport (where it should be). Now… I don’t understand why, but the thing is that if MC-Clip.swf contains just static text (and change accordingly the text properties to static text in the holder MC), it gets loaded in the right place (MCimport) within the main/parent movie. (!!!) And this is the piece of AS attached to the button (to call the MC containing the static txt): > on (release) { **loadMovie** (“MC-Clip.swf”, “MCimport”); } In order to get loaded the dynamic text into the target MC inside the parent movie, I’ve tried many different combinations (some of them even absurd I think)…the result? same behaviour or even worse. Some of them are: // loadMovie(“MC-Clip.swf”,\_root); // \_level0.loadMovie(“MC-Clip.swf”, MCimport); // this.loadMovie (“MC-Clip.swf”, “MCimport”); // loadMovie (“MC-Clip.swf”, this); // \_root.MCimport.loadMovie(“MC-Clip.swf”,this); // clip=“Mcimport”; // loadMovie(“MC-Clip.swf”, this.clip); or // loadMovie(“MC-Clip.swf”,\_root.clip); or // loadMovie(“MC-Clip.swf”,\_parent.clip); Is it strange indeed or am I doing something wrong? Can somebody help me please?? I’m going mad with this silly thing and I’ve run out of ideas!! Thank you! Manare ---

to link a seperate swf to a empty mc it should be: [AS]on (release) { loadMovie(“MC-Clip.swf”, MCimport); } [/AS] Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but thats what works for me. ---

Thanks TitrationX. That’s correct…but in your example I don’t seem to see any dynamic text being loaded. My problem is not when loading an external MC to the main/parent movie, my problems start after that. If you want to have a look at it all, here you are the zipped fla (12Kb): [Fla (Flash 5!)](http://www.iespana.es/Manete/Loading_Dynamic_txt.zip) Unzip all files to a folder and double click on **Loading Dyn TXT.swf** to start. Thanks again! Let’s see if we can work it out! 😉 Manare ---

Hi. I’ve already tried it with FLASH MX, but the problem persists… Any idea? Thank you! Manare ---

THIS IS AMAZING GUYS!!! …I’ve been able to see that it was a problem of Windows FLASH PLAYER!!!.. I normally work with Flash 5 but I also had a demo version of FlashMX coexisting in the same computer. For any strange reason default player in my Windows XP was _Flash Player 5 r30_. After reinstalling the Flash MX demo, the player is now _Version 6 r23_…and now it works… …and the most amazing thing (GOD give me patience…but NOW! ) is that if it wasn’t for that thing on version players, I would have done it well since the beginning -as you can see in my first post above- I firstly wrote: > on (release) { loadMovie(“MC-Clip.swf”, “MCimport”); } and seeing it didn’t work for dynamic text, I started all that mess about adding \_root’s and \_this and \_parent’s and other desperate nonsenses of mine…(as seen in my AS-fla with many // of “non-working” and “already tried” code) OK, nevertheless…now I’m a happy guy! Just watch out everybody with such silly things which can bring you many headaches for details which are in a first instance, out of reach… Happy Flashing! Manare
