Ok, adter much bunbling around, I`ve finally figured out how to load external .SWF files into my main movie. Works like a charm!
Now I`m having trouble loading them into nested movie clips… What I`m trying to do is get an .swf / 3D animated movie to load into a specific movie clip “mainMovieloader” that is 2 levels down from the root movie (it`s located inside another movie on the main time line called “MaincontentsMovie”. I guess the structure would look like this:
_root
MaincontentsMovie_mc
mainMovieloader_mc
I can get the .swf to load into MaincontentsMovie_mc using the following code on my mainMovieloader_mc:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_root[“MaincontentsMovie”].loadMovie(“http://www.cre8tivemv.com/LingoLand/Eigo/FlashStuff/StressFactor.swf”,“0”);
}
but the location is all jacked up (it`s waaaay off center), and what I really want it to do is load into the mainMovieloader_mc INSIDE of MaincontentsMovie_mc (and be centered). I`ve spent 7 hours trying to work through this on my own and my brain smells like roasted pork & beans…
Would anyone please be kind enough to let me know what I`m doing wrong? I`ll be using a lot of these nested movie clips in the site I want to make once I learn how to do this…
I`ve attached a link to the .swf file I`m working on (my new business site)... Feel free to take a look. Some stuff there is just place holders and area markers for visual reference (like the orange boarder where my external .swf is supposed to load) - I tried to upload the actual .fla but my internet connection wasn`t having it tonight… Sorry!
Here`s the link, thanks!
