Something like that. I have a moviecliploader that loads a swf when a button is clicked. The swf it’s loading is a photo gallery that in turn loads images using its own moviecliploader.
They work great when I test the movie, and usually when I post all the files online, but when I just try to open the main swf file, the main swf loads the gallery swf, but the gallery swf won’t load its images.
Is this a problem with the code, do you think, or is this something that just doesn’t work unless it’s in a browser? I’m supposed to turn in the swfs (and flas) for my class, so I’m a little concerned that it’s going to appear to be not working. Here’s the relevant code (sorry it’s so long!):
Main movie
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“loadit”, this.getNextHighestDepth());
loadit._x = 215;
loadit._y = 90;
var myLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myLoader.addListener(myListener);
myListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
TransitionManager.start(target_mc,{type:Fade, duration:1});
TransitionManager.start(target_mc,{type:Zoom, direction:0, duration:2, easing:Strong.easeOut});
}
swf2_btn.onPress = function(){
myLoader.loadClip(“mySwf_cg.swf”,“loadit”);
title_txt.text = “Photo gallery”;
}
mySwf_cg.swf code
import mx.transitions.;
import mx.transitions.easing.;
var whichImage:Number = 0;
var whichCaption:Number = 0;
buttons.back_btn._visible=false;
var picArray:Array = [‘parrot.jpg’, ‘texas.jpg’, ‘cadillac.jpg’, ‘camel.jpg’, ‘leaves.jpg’, ‘gates.jpg’, ‘birds.jpg’, ‘cat.jpg’, ‘crown.jpg’, ‘detergent.jpg’];
var captionArray:Array = [‘Parrot Eats a Peanut’, ‘Driving in Texas’, ‘Cadillac Ranch’, ‘Palo Duro Canyon’, ‘Autumn Leaves’, ‘The Gates’, ‘Birds on a Wire’, ‘Cat Licks Chops’, ‘Wearing a Crown’, ‘Detergent’];
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“loadit”, 1);
loadit.swapDepths(buttons);
var myLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myLoader.addListener(myListener);
myLoader.loadClip(“mySwfImages/”+picArray[whichImage],“loadit”);
_root.title_txt.text = captionArray[whichCaption];
myListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
TransitionManager.start(target_mc, {type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:None.easeNone});
if(whichImage>0){
buttons.back_btn._visible=true;
} else {
buttons.back_btn._visible=false;
}
if(whichImage<picArray.length-1){
buttons.forward_btn._visible=true;
} else {
buttons.forward_btn._visible=false;
}
}
buttons.forward_btn.onPress = function(){
loadit._alpha=100;
if(whichImage<picArray.length-1){
whichImage += 1;
whichCaption += 1;
myLoader.loadClip(“mySwfImages/”+picArray[whichImage],“loadit”);
_root.title_txt.text = captionArray[whichCaption];
}
}
buttons.back_btn.onPress = function(){
loadit._alpha=100;
if(whichImage>0){
whichImage -= 1;
whichCaption -= 1;
myLoader.loadClip(“mySwfImages/”+picArray[whichImage],“loadit”);
_root.title_txt.text = captionArray[whichCaption];
}
}
