Scroll Pane

1

Can anyone tell me how I load an external swf into the scroll pane component?

2

[AS]on (press) {
myScrollPane.loadScrollContent(“yourmovie.swf”);
}[/AS]

3

Thats if I want to do it with a button. If I want to do it as a frame action, do I just put in:

onClipEvent(frame){ myScrollPane.loadScrollContent(“movie.swf”);
}

I tried this and it doesnt work. It wants a handler.

Just throw the myScrollPane.loadScrollContent(“movie.swf”); action on the frame you want it to get activated on.

5

I tried that and for some reason it didn’t work. :frowning: I will try again though.

6

Keep in mind “myScrollPane” is the instance name of the scrollpane component on the stage and “movie.swf” is the file name of the movie you are loading.

7

Ok it worked this time. :slight_smile: However, it doesnt play the movie it only loads it. How do I tell it to play the movie as well?

8

Also, is there any way I can reset the registration point so what I load will be centered?

9

It should load and play it, do you have a stop() action on the first frame of the movie that gets loaded?

10

No but the levels get complicated. I have a preloader which I want to keep track of this movie clip inside my main stage. I want this preloader to run inside the scroll pane window but I cant figure out how to assign the movie I just loaded an instance name.

Could i rewrite my preloader in the following way?
bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.loadBar._width = getPercent100;
_root.loadText = Math.round(getPercent100)+"%";
_root.total = bytes_total+" Bytes Total";
_root.loaded = bytes_loaded+" Bytes Loaded";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
}

and change all the _root. to _this (or would it just be this.(statement) not _this.statement)
