Loading a stand-alone movie

[TaiChi56]

Alright guys, I first problem was fixed thanks to BigBadDave. I was able to make my Swish movie into an .exe movie.

Here is my other problem. When my movie introduction is finished I want it to call up my other movie which is an .exe movie. It is coming up as a white screen. No movie loads. Everything works fine if I keep my movies as .swf files. When I publish them as .exe I have the problem. Here is the code I am putting in to call the movie.

on (release) {
loadMovie("patrickwebpage.swf",_root);
}
It will only play if I leave the .swf file in the folder. So I tried "patrickwebpage.exe,_root) and again the movie will not work. What am I doing wrong?? Thank you. The secret in education lies in respecting the student. {Ralph Waldo Emerson}.

The holder movie is the only part that needs to be 'exe' the other files are ok as swf It will work if the computer dosn't have the flash installed Regards

My first movie is done with Swish. I made it a .exe. This movie calls up a swf file which in turns calls up my webpage I did in Swish which I made sure has an .swf extension.

So my first movie is an .exe all the rest are swf. I ran the exe but when it called the second movie in, the screen was just blank. Maybe I am interpreting something wrong.

When you say holder movie,does this mean that all the codes to call the other movies have to be in the holder movie? And can you do this in Swish. Sorry so many questions. I am trying to learn and appreciate your help. The secret in education lies in respecting the student. {Ralph Waldo Emerson}.

It should work ok You need to have all the files in the same DIR and in the loadmovie() you mustn't use queystring ('?') in you call Regards

I have everything in the same folder. My swish file is coded like this.

At Frame 20
a play Sound "sound.wav"
at Frame 141
a loadMovie "PatricksIntro.swf" in level 0
FS Commmand("FullScreen","True&quot

It does not let me take out the " and it will not let me put () around it. What next? The secret in education lies in respecting the student. {Ralph Waldo Emerson}.

This is to BigBadDave. I made a Flash Movie to be the holder instead of the swish movie. It worked just like you said it would. Thank you for your help. The secret in education lies in respecting the student. {Ralph Waldo Emerson}.
