Question

Going to specific frame of external swf

Hello

I've got another little hitch that I've come accross in the project that I'm currently assembling.

From time to time I need to load swf files at specific frames & seem to have hit a brick wall.

The code I'm using is

var loadmod2:Loader;

BackBut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Goneg);

function Goneg(e:MouseEvent):void
{
  loadmod2 = new Loader();
  loadmod2.load(new URLRequest("mod2.swf"));
  addChild(loadmod2);
  gotoAndPlay(18);
}

It loads the right swf, but at frame 1, when I want tp load it at frame 18

Trying to search for a solution has just left me even more confused. The solutions put forward seem complex, and I just can't get them to work.

As usual, any help would be greatly appreciated.

use:


var loadmod2:Loader;

BackBut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Goneg);

function Goneg(e:MouseEvent):void
{

if(!loadmod2){
  loadmod2 = new Loader();

loadmod2.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadCompleteF);

}
  loadmod2.load(new URLRequest("mod2.swf"));
}

function loadCompleteF(e:Event):void{
  addChild(loadmod2);
  MovieClip(loadmod2.content).gotoAndPlay(18);

}

    Thanks kglad........I tried the code you put up, but it started playing the sound from the mod2.swf, but from frame 1 & with no vision.

    try also with the init:

    //Loading clips content
    var ldr:Loader;
    var mcExt:MovieClip;

    //Loading
    loadswf("test.swf");
    function loadswf(tmp:String):void{
         unloadSwf();
         passedString=tmp;
         ldr= new Loader();
         ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressListener);
         ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
         ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initListener);
         ldr.load(new URLRequest(tmp));
            
         function progressListener (e:ProgressEvent):void{
             //ploader.visible=true;
         }
        
         function initListener (e:Event):void{
             mcExt = e.target.content as MovieClip;
             mcExt.stop();
         }
        
         function swfLoaded(e:Event):void {
             mcExt = e.target.content as MovieClip;
             ldr.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
             //ploader.visible=false;
             addChild(mcExt);
             mcExt.gotoAndPlay(20);
         }
    }

    //UnLoading

    function unloadSwf():void{

        if (ldr!=null){

            ldr.unloadAndStop();

            removeChild(mcExt);

            mcExt=null;

        }

    }
