I’m having very inconsistent results with loadMovie - one time it works, the next time it doesn’t, even though I’m doing things the same way.
In my latest farce, in a movie called home.swf I created an empty movie clip and placed an instance of it named dateTime on the stage. I then called a movie named digitalclock.swf with the statement:
loadMovie("digitalclockJeff.swf","dateTime");
It works perfectly.
Next I created another empty movie clip and placed an instance of it named sliders on the stage of the original movie, home.swf. I then called a movie named sliders01.swf with the statement:
loadMovie("sliders01.swf","sliders");
It doesn’t work at all.
Just to try to find the problem, I treid loading digitalclock.swf into the second movie clip with
loadMovie("digitalclockJeff.swf","sliders");
It works perfectly.
The problem would appear to lie with sliders01.swf, but I can’t see how. It’s a very simple movie where a picture frame slides down from the top and a picture slides into the picture frame from the side - 50 frames, 2 motion tweens, 2 layers - that’s it.
I don’t understand why this movie won’t load.
