loadMovie to target issue

Inspiring

you're welcome

ohh, the code is verry simple.

//this creates a MovieClipLoader called loader_mc
var loader_mc:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

//here you tell loader_mc to load the external content..
//which works the same way as you can see. ("your.swf","where to load in to")
loader_mc.loadClip("600x450_test.swf", "targ_02");

It really does. Thanks!

in your situation i would have:

this.btn_Installingyt.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("loader_02");
};
BTW, you can use gotoAndPlay aswell.

then on the frame loader_02 have this code:

var loader_mc:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader_mc.loadClip("600x450_test.swf", "targ_02");

also, make sure you have the keyframe which contains targ_02 mc on the same frame as loader_02, but on different layers to avoid confusion..
eg: loader_02 is on layer 4 on frame 20...and targ_02 frame would be on layer 3 on frame 20.

hope this makes sense...its about 3AM here, and im struggling to keep my eyes open...

Guess I mean gotoAnd Stop, right?

Sorry I'm a bit of a simpleton and am not familiar with that script. Although I'd like to understand it and be better.

When you say "frames" you mean just using gotoAndPlay?

No place to upload my file right now.

In the live docs under “loadMovie” it mentions;

“A reference to a movie clip object or a string representing the path to a target movie clip. The target movie clip is replaced by the loaded SWF file or image.”

This makes sense leodsmith, because that is happening when I test my FLA.

Yes, I also recommend what Sketchsta posted last.

Thanks myIP.

I have used loadMovie into target clips for years with success. But I understand your theory and it's a good one.

I really like to keep timelines pretty simple and clean. Do you have any suggestions for a timeline "neat freak" using this way of loading externals?

I always use frames to load external content.. for example:

var loader_mc:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader_mc.loadClip("600x450_test.swf", "targ_02");

this way i keep all loadings separate, and all i need to do is send the playhead to the frame i want loaded.
