I am a relatively new flasher and am working through the tutorials, but am having problems with the load movie one (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/loadmovie.asp) . It works perfect but when i get it to use the .swf I made, it never loads properly. The only thing i change is the url. Please help.
Please help!
what kind of path are you using? And when you say it does not load properly what is it doing?? Post the path to your file you are using.
Oh yeah welcome to Kirupa…sometimes replies are not really quick but someone will help…allow more than 10mins. =)
Okay…well let me change what I need. I was able to get the movie to load but my problem is mainly that I have a swf. that I want to use in a particular space in a new flash and since it is a continuously scrolling image it shows the overlap all across my page. How do i limit what gets shown from the original animation onto my new flash page? …Sorry if this is confusing. :cowboy:
You can use a mask layer to achieve what is shown in the original .swf. And if you want your loaded .swf to positioned in a certain area you want to load it into a empty movie clip.
to load a movie int o a empty movie clip:
Place a empty movie clip in the on your maintimeline and give it a instance name
then if you are using a button to launch your load movie do something like this
on (release) {
loadMovie("url", "InstanceName");
}
You may or may not have to use the quotes I forget.
