Ok I am losing my mind.. I added a base URL in the html file that "owns" the flash, and the pictures in the gallery, work.. but now I have lost the "The End"!!!
The gallery problem is interesting...
I am trying to load the swf from a sub-directory.. the code looks like this..
photo = "HN/hn_"+num+".swf";
loadMovie (photo, _root.pictures_mc");
The error movie (end.swf) which shows the "The End" image, is in the root...
This is the wierdest setup I have ever done. The "camera.swf" which is the one being loaded in the equipment section, never redraws properly in the preloader? It is very odd. I have had a friend who works at IBM check it out and it works fine, and a friend in Vancouver Canada, also...
Hi Dave,
Well the problem that I was worried about is there.. It seems that the clip that I load doesn't seem to work? Only on some occasions... It is rather irritating, when I run it within flash testing the "connection speeds" it works out fine... I have gone through the code over...
Hi Dave,
Thanks for you help last night!
It works great, though I had to add a line to reset the _level0.loaded variable to false for use with multiple files, as the variable was remaining true.

Hi Dav,
I tried out the code you supplied, I was dead certain it was going to work, though I found that it always passed a "true" condition. I modified it slightly to work with targets rather than levels.
I realised that by not finding a MC there will be no _level1.loaded to check...
How do I test and cover for a loadMovie that gives a missing file error?
I want to test for a missing file and then set the action to go to an error page.
Any ideas?
Hi, I had a similar problem with this, but on my Mac, though it is quite possibly the same on both systems. I have Flash 4 and 5 loaded, and initially all my new .swf's (v5's) wouldn't work. I realised that the .swf's were linked to load the Flash 4 Player! Make sure you have the Flash 5 Player...
