Working in Flash5 - I have an swf file that’s like a movie screen the I want movies (external swf) to load into-but I want these movies to fit within a particular area centered on the screen.
To test this out I have created 3 animations photo1.swf thru photo3.swf and the screen photogaller.swf.
The photogaller.swf starts at a blank screen and has a forward and back button. In the forward button I have this code modified appropriately for each frame:
//this is in frame 2
on (release) {
unloadMovie (“photo1.swf”);
loadMovie (“photo2.swf”, “frame”);
gotoAndStop (3);
}
In the back I have:
//this is in frame 3
on (release) {
unloadMovie (“photo2.swf”);
loadMovie (“photo1.swf”, “frame”);
gotoAndStop (2);
}
//”frame” is a movie clip in photogaller.swf
MAIN PROBLEM: Movies load actual size from top corner/centerpoint of “frame”
Is there code to fix and modify size and alignment of loaded swf so I don’t have to change the size of the original (i.e. photo1.swf)?
SILLY PROBLEM: When I use the back buttons to unload the swf and I get to the back button before the blank screen frame I have this code:
on (release) {
unloadMovie (“photo1.swf”);
gotoAndStop (1);
}
but the movie stays loaded??? Any thoughts here?
Sorry so long!
