Properties of a "LoadMovie" swf

[dhere38]

Hi,
I am trying to control the Size and placement of a loaded shockwave inside another FLA. I loaded the movie via the "loadmovie" function and tried to set properties. However I am having no luck. My button in a previous scene is working fine, it loads the movie into the correct scene however I don't seem to be able to control it's properties. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong.
Thank you dhere38

Did you convert it into a symbol? Or haven't I understood what you're trying to do here?

hi

you want to load you're movie into a movie-clip.

Draw a rectangle in your main movie which has the dimensions you want your loaded movie to assume. Select the rectangle and convert it into a movie-clip. Give the instance of this clip the name "holder" (for example).

In your actions:

(Flash 4):

Load Movie ("movie1.swf", "/holder&quot
Set Property ("/into", X Position) = "100"
Set Property ("/into", Y Position) = "100"

(Flash 5):

loadMovie ("movie1.swf", "/holder"
setProperty ("/holder", _x, "100"
setProperty ("/holder", _y, "100"


Set your position/alpha/etc properties to suit. The scale of your 'holder' clip determines the scale of your loaded movie.

hope it helps

oops

Flash 4 actions should read:

Load Movie ("movie1.swf", "/holder&quot
Set Property ("/holder", X Position) = "100"
Set Property ("/holder", Y Position) = "100"
