external jpg problem.
I am having problems loading an extenal jpg in the same folder as my__site file into flash 5 into a draggable mc called ‘draggable’.
I can create a draggable mc called ‘draggable’.
Within that I have another mc called ‘slide’ (what I will want the external jpg to load into) on a seperate layer from the graphics that make up the draggable window.
Everything works up to this point.
Do I give the mc ‘slide’ an action to load the external jpg? or the layer ‘slide’ is in?
I have been puzzling over the right code to write to get the external jpeg ‘CH1_1.jpg’ to load into the mc ‘slide’
Sorry, but no way if you use Flash 5!
That feature was added in MX only!
Only workaround is to make a new fla,
the size of your image, put the jpg on stage and publish.
Then you can loadMovie the created swf instead…
Thanks, I understand now that you can only load a .swf into flash five, what a bummer but hey! I can still do this with a .swf,. Its getting the .swf to display in my draggable window, inside the ‘slide’ mc (‘slide’ mc is my mc placed inside my draggable window mc) thats the problem.
What path do I give the action to locate the .swf and display it within the ‘slide’ mc which is inside the ‘draggable’ mc.
Where do I assign the action? - to the ‘slide’ mc I want to display the .swf in or the .swf thumbnail/button on the main page.
I’d prefer to assign my actions to the thumbnails to display the .swf file inside a draggable window with the swf loading externally if possible as my site will contain a lot of images and I cant import them into flash as it will make the file size balloon.
I’m really new at flash5 and I would be grateful for a step by step explanation.
