Problem loading external SWF files

[scott123456789]

Hi,

I am fairly new to AS3 so I am hoping that my problem is a silly mistake that is easily solved. However, I have tried everything I can think of and tried searching around forums for a solution for hours and hours. I've had to learn a lot of ActionScript of my final year uni project and time is running out. This is pritty much the last thing I need to do on development.

My problem: I am trying to load an external SWF into my project, I am pretty sure that my code is fine but when I try to display the SWF all I get is an instance of my StartPage movie clip. The code for the loader has not mention or even any relation to this movieclip! I have the loader in a class file for a separate movieclip, but no matter where I put the code I get the same result. I cannot understand why this is happening!

I tried loading the same external SWF into a different project, and it worked fine!!!!!!

Is this a common problem? I haven't managed to find anyone online with the same problem.

Please could someone advise of a possible solution? I am happy to post my code, but as there is so much I am unsure what would be relevant.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Many Thanks

Scott

Hi,

Post a link to your actionscript files, it would make it easier to check.
To be honest I don't know which part is relevant, because it could be alot of things.

"My problem: I am trying to load an external SWF into my project, I am pretty sure that my code is fine but when I try to display the SWF all I get is an instance of my StartPage movie clip.

I can't understand what this means. Take a deep breath and explain thoroughly, please. You're trying to load and display a SWF A, but instead it displays movieclip B, which is embeded in your main SWF ?
Are you using the Loader class or the SWFLoader component ?

Also, in the future, don't post here, post in actionscript.com or Adobe forums and you'll get an answer quickly.

Regards,

Filipe.
