Simple:Loading external SWF

[mabron]

First i am so sorry to ask such a retarded question, I really have been trying to
figure this one out on my own...I am a seasoned Video Editor trying to learn
Flash 9...I am using one of your SWFs and I get...I tried this both locally
and up on my server.



//METHOD ONE//
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

//METHOD TWO//
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Main/::init()
at Main$iinit()



//Method One//
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("my_path_local_machine/main.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);

//Method Two; MAIN FLA IN SAME DIRECTORY//
var thisMovieClip:MovieClip;
var thisRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("main.swf");
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Even t.INIT, doneLoading);
thisLoader.load(thisRequest);

function doneLoading(evt:Event):void {
thisMovieClip = MovieClip(thisLoader.content);
stage.addChild(thisMovieClip);
thisMovieClip.stop();

Thanks...

Kindly,
Matt

Hi ,

do not use local paths, it can't work with Flash.
If the SWF you want to load is in same folder of the loader SWF, use just main.swf ( not /localpath(main.swf )

About other method, do this:

var thisMovieClip:MovieClip;
var thisRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("main.swf");
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, doneLoading);
thisLoader.load(thisRequest);

function doneLoading(evt:Event):void 
{
	var thisContent:MovieClip=MovieClip(thisLoader.content);
	thisMovieClip=new MovieClip();
	stage.addChild(thisMovieClip);
	thisMovieClip.stop();
}
