Problem loading a movie into a movie which loads a movie
if you want to skip a defined explanation feel free to skip to the bottom ---- section.
I tried as usual to search the forums and came up with obscure references to this problem. (now that I’ve said that someones going to search for it and find the exact thread I should have found :p)
I have 4 movies.
A) Main movie (a website for a starting jewellery company currently found at http://zephn.com/aboutface/
B) Gallerydirectory (a movie in which there are several buttons which load various thumbnail movies)
C) Thumbnail movies (there are several options of these but each is filled with buttons that load swfs which has a picture in it)
D) Defined image swf’s (various photos inserted into swf’s that have a fade effect applied to them)
Now that I have explained the set up I will explain that curently this works but I am trying to alter this slightly and am encountering problems.
Instead of loading just movie “D” at the end of this chain, which has a picture inserted into it prior; I want movie “D” to load a jpeg into itself “when” it loads. I beleive the term used is dynamically.
This allows for image changes to the website without having to insert pictures to the movie “D”'s anymore.
I can just drag new jpegs into a directory and the movie set up will just load the new images instead of having me edit every individual swf.
-------------NOW the problems I am having is I am unsuccessful at creating a movie which loads another movie in a defined movie clip, which by itself loads another movie or jpg within itself.
here is my working source to date. Can anyone nudge me in the right direction?
In this source I have deleted all the excess content from the site to make it more easy on the eye and on translating what is going wrong. I have also provided three examples of what I have tried to do.
In example “1” I have loaded a jpg successfully.
In example “2” I have loaded a swf successfully.
In example three (the desired result) I have unsuccessfully attempted to load a swf which loads a jpg into a movie clip in another part of movie “A”.
