Loading Scene/frame from another movie

[Guest_imported]

Hi,

I am having trouble. Can someone tell me if this is possible.

I want to load a specific scene and frame from another movie.

Example,

I want MovieA.fla to load scene2 frame 26 in movieb.fla.

Thanks,
Cherry

You could in movieA.fla, use the loadMovie action to load movieB.swf to go and play or stop on scene 2 frame 26. Thus at some point, through the use of a button and/or a Frame action, in movieA.swf, have movieB goto scene 2 frame 26.

Have I understood you correctly?

Regards,

Hi oldnewbie,

I tried it, but it loads the entire movie and then stop - doesn't seem to jump to scene 2 frame 26.

Am I doing something wrong?

Did you add a Frame action or a button scripted to have it move to that scene and frame. If so, hope you haven't done it in the same Frame action or button script as the loadMovie action is, 'cause that ain't gonna work! Should be at least 2 or 3 frames between the 2 actions.
You can allways e-mail me your .fla, I'll have a look!

Thanks,

I have already sent it over, hope it will not crash your system... for some reason, the is file is pretty big.

It hasn't worked! File must be below 1MB. Either try zipping it up, or upload it to your site, if you have one, and e-mail me a link to it, if you don't want to make it public here on the forum.

thanks for your time.

Let me try sending you the swf file... that is smaller.
