loadmovie into presentation

[Brown]

hi all.

anyone know how to loadmovie into target mc which is 1 frame of actionscript into a presentation template that comes with flash?

an example is i tried to load the 'falling snow' tutorial swf with this

loadMovie("snowfinal.swf", "1");

where '1' is the empty mc instance name.

it comes up blank upon testing.

I can load any other movie with no actionscript OK but for some reason a 1 frame actionscript driven mc loads but doesnt do any animation.

anyone help me please?

is the snowflake the same color as the background maybe?

[Brown]

No

the snowflake is just an example.
I have about 10 different loadmovie's that do the same thing, and none of them work.

if you can post your code, (and your project perhaps) I can take a look at it. I'm not promising anything, but two minds working on this are better that one.

Here are the 2 fla.s
I didnt post whole project because its huge.

I know this is an easy one, but im a noobie.

Anyway, "test.fla" has the one frame with one actionscript to load "snowfinal.swf" into "g" target. thats all.

Snowfinal is the one from this site, and works when testing by itself (obviously), but doesnt work in the target loadmovie.

thanks for any help!

sorry, didnt know how to attach 2 files. heres the other fla.

change the script in the timeline of snowfinal to:

for (k=0; k<50; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(snow, "snow"+k, k);
}
=)

Still doesnt work, Kax.

Any other ideas?

[Brown]

think ive worked it out....

sorry, kax & coolidge, you were right.

the problem was even though the snowfinal.swf had a light blue background, it didnt load the background colour so the background was white, as in test.fla, which is the same colour as the snow! so by changing the background colour of test.fla, the white snow fell beautifully.

thanks for the help!

No sweat.
I've done it before too.:tb:
