How to load swf into a movie clip?

i have an swf file i want to load into a movie clip within my
flash file, i think im supposed to use loadmovie () instead of
loadmovienum, can anyone help me out? thanks

loadMovie("X",Y);
Where x is: the url of the swf file you want to load.
Where y is: the name of the movieclip you want to load it
into. You must give the movieclip an instance name.
For example, if I wanted to load '1.swf' into a movieclip
with an instance name of "loaderclip," my code would be:
loadMovie("1.swf", loaderclip);

  • How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's inside other movie clip?

    Hi.
    I creating my first flash (actionscript 3.0) website but I'm
    stuck with a visual effect I want to create.
    I have a window on my website called contentWindow. Every
    time you click a button this window is supposed to leave the stage,
    load the requested content and return to the stage.
    The sliding window is a movie clip with 83 frames, 21 to
    enter the stage, 21 to leave the stage again, 20 for nothing (its
    just to simulate the loading time) and 21 to return to the stage.
    Now my goal is, when the user clicks on a navigation button,
    the window exits the stage, loads an external SWF with the content,
    and then returns to the stage.
    I've the "window" movie clip with an instance name of
    "contentWindow". Inside there is another movie clip with an
    instance name of "contentLoader". The content that the user
    requested should appear inside the "contentLoader".
    Now, when the contentWindow leaves the stage, I get this
    error message:
    quote:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
    a null object reference.
    at rwd_fla::MainTimeline/trigger()
    If I switch
    "contentWindow.contentLoader.addChild(navLoader);" for
    "contentWindow.addChild(navLoader);" it works fine, but the
    external SWF doesn't move with the window.
    How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's
    inside other movie clip?

    Hi,
    Recently, I have been putting together a flash presentation.
    And I am just wondering if the following might help you, in your
    communication with the said swf file:
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    onComplete);
    function onComplete(event:Event):void
    event.target.content.thinggy_mc.y -= 100;
    Not the best example, but this allows you to target a mc
    within an external swf file. I think if you look up this code, you
    will have an answer ;)

  • Putting a preloader for a loaded .swf in a Movie Clip

    I am trying to use a preloader for a larger .swf file that loads inside of a movie clip. I was wondering what code might work and where to put it. (preloader is a .swf).  I am using CS4, ActionScript 1.0.  Thanks.

    it does nothing in that context.  so use:
    container._x =-258;
    container._y =-235;
    container.loadMovie("gallery.swf");
    this.onEnterFrame=function(){
    // if you have a textfield with instance name preloaderTF
    preloaderTF.text=Math.round(100*container.getBytesLoaded()/container.getBytesTotal())+"% Loaded";
    if(container.getBytesLoaded()>100&&container.getBytesLoaded()>=container.getBytesTotal()){
    delete this.onEnterFrame;

  • Bitmap Font gets blurry when its swf is loaded into a movie clip

    I have a gallery i'm working on, located here:
    http://www.stationarynotes.com/portfolio/Gallery.html
    If you click the first button (the one that looks like a
    splattered "S" in black ink) you'll see that my bitmap text gets
    rendered all blurry. That swf which is being loaded renders fine
    when I test it by itself. The text is positioned with whole numbers
    and aligns to the grid within its own swf, and the movie clip which
    receives it is also positioned with whole numbers. Do you think
    perhaps when it is loaded into another MC it is being pushed off of
    the grid somehow...? I'm really confused.
    I can post my .flas if that'll help.

    bitmap fonts look best when positioned on a whole pixel
    number (100.0 instead of 100.4 for example).
    If you are loading into an empty clip - try placing that clip
    on the nearest whole number. or you
    could load the external swf to a level with will position it
    at 0,0 (upper left corner of stage).

  • How load variables to a movie clip on a masked layer on my main time line

    the problem I have is that I been trying to load text from a
    text file news.txt into a movie clip on my main time line the
    problem is when the layer where the video clip is locates is masked
    the variables will not load, but it does work when the layer is
    unmasked, but then the website does not work the way it is suposed
    to look.
    any Idea on how I can get arround this????

    PArt of the problem will be due to declaring the uiLoader inside of a function.  When you do that you limit its scope to within that function.  You should declare it outside of any function if you need to access it in more than one function.
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
    var uiLoader:UILoader;
    var targetObj:Object;
    The other problems I see regard the line you point to.  It is not spelling the name the same, using a lowercase "l". Also, if you want to target what the UILoader contains, you should target its "content" property, as in...
    targetObj = uiLoader.content.mask_01

  • Premier After Effects... How does one places the whole movie clip into AF?

    After years of using Premiere, I’m looking at using After Effects. Premiere does most of what I need (I don’t need moving graphics and titles) but the masking and rotoscoping seems to be better in After Effects. I’ve started a great video by Tom Green at school. This is probably silly question- I don’t understand is how does one places the whole movie clip into AF? I only see 30 seconds or so of the 5 minute clip on the timeline in AF.

    Ahh, thanks. I simply add more minutes (the length of the clip) into the "new composition".
    A new problem: When I try a dynamic link with premiere AE says “Failed to connect to adobe Premiere Pro Dynamic Link”, but PP will link with AE. I just installed AF last week. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall them (along with the rest of the Creative Suite)?

  • I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone but it only recognizes the first one and only produces the firts one in a DVD. How can I drop all three  movie clips into one drop zone

    On IDVD, I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone to create a DVD but it only recognizes the first one I dropped and only produced the first one in a DVD. How can I drop all three  movie clips into one drop zone.

    I have had some luck doing the following: Export each clip from imovie as a quicktime clip. Open iDVD and create a new project. Import a few stills into iDVD and then click on the button that gets created to get into the screen where the individual slides appear. Drag each quicktime into that screen and arrange in the order you want. You can then delete the stills. The button that appeared when you dropped in the stills will launch a complete show.

  • Loading swf into empty mc in a html page

    Hello Flashers,
    I've set up a html page that contains a swf file with an
    empty movie clip in which I wish to load another swf.
    However I trie to do it, it just won't listen.
    Can anybody help me with this.
    Situation:
    html page (complete one, with tables etc.) contains main swf
    file (in a table) which contains an empty movie clip.
    Within the main swf there is a button which should load
    another swf file into the empty movie clip.
    What happens is that the external movie clip is loaded into
    level 0 of the main movie.
    It usualy works fine just with flash site but within the html
    page it results differently.
    Is it possible to get it right.
    Thanks
    Justin Time

    Urami, thanks for your interest for helping me ( and others,
    as far as I know )
    I'll try to explain it in more details ( although english is
    not my language)
    I've made a html page which contains a swf file ( theMAIN )
    in one table, other tables are filled with gif's, jpeg's etc.
    In the main movie - theMAIN - there is a empty movie clip
    with instance name "deder_mc" which is ment to accept loaded swf's.
    There is also a button with action ---- on release :
    _global.theMAIN.loadMovie("./swf_s/000_studioG.swf", "deder_mc");
    That means, when user click this button movie
    000_studioG.swf should be loaded into deder_mc empty movie
    clip.
    The movie 000_studioG.swf is located in swf_s folder in site
    root.
    _global.theMAIN = this;
    is a action script in a first frame of the main movie so it
    build a reference to it.
    I've done it before but site was built complete in Flash and
    I did not had any problems with loading external movies into empty
    movie clips. Not long before I've red somewhere(don't remember
    where) that this don't work in swf in a html page.
    But I live in a hope that I would be able to build a html
    site which contains swf which can load external movies into empty
    movie clips. So I am looking for solution.
    I hope it's enough information for you to tell me a solution
    if you know the right answer.
    Thank you.

  • How do I View Guides for Movie Clips in Relation to Entire Scene?

    My boss purchased a flash animation from a company a few months ago that she now needs me to fix. The goal is to resize the animation to different dimensions for a new banner. I took the original file, brought up the document settings, and changed the size to the new one we need, and hit the "scale content" checkbox. The file I have after doing this is shown below; I have highlighted the shape I will be talking about in pink. Nothing is the correct size now so I am trying to resize them to fit the stage area. I am having trouble with the green shape that is highlighted Pink.
    The person who originally made this file made that highlighted shape into a movie clip and then dropped it in to the main timeline. I was wondering if there was a way that I could see where that shape is in relation to the area of the entire stage and the other objects in the main timeline? Meaning if I am inside of the greenblock movie clip all I see is what is below:
    With this view I cannot tell where that shape is in relation to everything else. I am hoping someone can tell me how to view the guides from my main file inside of this movie clip( I already have guides turned on), or any other way of seeing what size and where my shape is in relation to rest of the objects on the stage of my main file. I would take any option that would let me tweak the green shape inside of the movie clip and see in real time how it looks in relation to the rest of the items on the stage as I make changes.
    Any suggestions on how to get perspective on where my movie clip is in relation to the stage and other objects on it would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Tissal

    Somehow double clicking on your system seems to be connected to the command
    fl.getDocumentDOM().enterEditMode('');//the view where you don`t see the rest of your stage
    whereas normally it defaults to
    fl.getDocumentDOM().enterEditMode('inPlace'); //the view where you can see everything els on stge alphablended
    you can either create a shortcut to
    edit>edit in place or alter the standard behaviour of your double click
    or right click(Windows) or ctrl-click(MAc) the mc and choose Edit in Place

    'First row in the @My_Table table

    Try using the SHARE menu to share your movie in the sizes you need. It should work on the shared copy.
    Another thing to try would be to restart your Mac so you have fresh memory.
