blazi · 11-01-2005, 10:50 AM

I posted a similar thread earlier, but nobody replied so I'll ask again. I could REALLY use some help here it's for a big client!!

if any of you on this board are good with flash I could REALLY use your help.

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I am building a site all in flash, no HTML, I want certain sections of the flash site to call and external .swf file into the existing one. For example, the "Contact" section, I want it to call contact.swf into the existing flash file. Is this possible? PLEASE HELP, it's for a big client and I have a deadline.

Thanks so much in advance!!

Yes it's possible. A few things which I'm sure don't need to be said, but....

a. Your going to need to have some level of html to even get the flash code to display.

b. Setup your paths properly on a file include within your flash movie, and it should import and run fine online, may be a little tricky in development as previews will be of till its live online.

c. Why not use an html, or .txt include for simple information. Much easier to program than an swf include, and much easier to update.

thanks MikyMunki,

your suggestion for a .txt include makes sense, problem is some sections will allso need to load .swf files that include photos/images so that's why I need to find out how to tackle this. I've been reading articles all day and STILL can't get a .swf file to import... maybe I'm just looking at the wrong tutorial sites but there's GOTTA be a solution!

hmm.. yes it is possible, nothing is impossible

basically you would just call the .swf to load into your main swf.
-----------
on (realease) {
loadMovieNum("contact.swf", 1);
}
-----------

that's loading by level.

another method is loading it by "target"
you simple make an empty movie clip, and give it an "INSTANCE NAME" somethin like, swfholder , then you load the swf inside that movie clip.

------------
on (realease) {
loadMovie("contact.swf", "swfholder");
}
------------

that's if you're loading them using a BUTTON.
if you will load them and put the action on the TIMEFRAME and not on the BUTTON. code will simply be like:

------------
loadMovie("contact.swf", "swfholder");
------------

it depends on how complex your animation is tho, i can't explain everything but that should give you the basic hint for loading external swfs.
