Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Actionscript / April 2006

you could have a path problem because of the location of your html file, swf
file and the files that are loaded or you could have a timing problem if you
failed to use (and need to use) preloader code or an onData handler.

thanks for you r qucik response

Ok i spotted the items i am having a problem with but problem is i dont know
why.

i am loading a movie dynamically in my main movie using load movie

loadMovie("menu.swf",_root.i_dress2.i_content);

 and in the actual movie menu.SWF i am loading a text dynamically using
loadvariable... but i am actually loading it into the movie that has already
been loaded into my main movie... maybe it i will make sense when you see my
line of script that is in the menu.sef movie....

loadVariables("menu.txt",_root.i_dress2.i_content.arg.maskedText.scrollpage);

so i guess it is like i am loadingthe txt into the text file after it is
loaded into the main movei so that is why it is referring ot the text field
that way...

anyway it works fine when i go thorugh test movie but when i preview in HTML
the text doenst come out...

am i doing this thewrong way.? is there something i am missing?

Thanks...any help will be appreciated!!

is there an i_dress2.i_content movieclip in menu.swf, as well as, in your main swf?

You may be hitting a Flash 8 security issue that you cannot load external
data using file:////path_to_your_movie/youmoviehtml in a web browser. You
may need to use http://thedomain.com/yourmovie.html.

Ok i am testing my movie... when i got to test movie  from going to the menu
(control---> test movie) my movie works fine... things are moving like they
should be and text is being loaded where it should be .

(i am actually loading a movie dynamically using loadmovie and that movie
is
loading text into it dynamilcally using the loadvariables)

anyway all of it looks fine when i test it.... but then when i do a publish
preview in HTML the text is not loaded and somethings arent moving.... does
any
one have any idea what the problem could be? why when i do test movie it
runs
fine BUT when i preview in HTML OR run the swf file on its own it is not
working??

HELP
