I’ve got a nicely functioning swf that I’m trying to make a preloader for. I’ve opted for the path of having a small preloader swf load the main one. Even though the main.swf works beautifully as a stand alone, there are all kinds of problems with it if I import it into _root.mcHolder with loadClip.
- One of the two music tracks doesn’t play anymore.
[INDENT]The one in the timeline works, but the one loaded with actionscript doesn’t:
<AS>sound = new Sound();
sound.attachSound(‘soundclip.mp3’);
sound.play();</AS>[/INDENT]2. The v2 scrollpane component falls apart in weird and not so wonderful ways.
[INDENT]There are multiple instances of the scrollpane, and it has been skinned. When imported, the scrollpane has a green border when clicked, and all but the first instance fail to mask the content being scrolled (so it just runs up the screen).
[/INDENT]I’m at my wits end trying to work out why. I’m starting to think that it must be because Flash is broken, even though I know that there is a 99% chance the errors are mine, I just can’t work out what they could be, or why it works perfectly standalone but not imported.
I don’t think its a problem with loading the swf into the wrong level. I create a holder in the preloader to load the swf into, and the swf does not use absolute identifiers for the levels - everything is a child of the ‘app’ mc created with createEmptyMovieClip(‘app’,1);
Anyone experienced anything like this? Is there a workaround?
