RE: [flasher] FLASH: How to control parent movie from loaded movie

[Ezra Schwartz]

I did this and ran into the same problem.  What I did was; have a variable

in the main movie timeline called something like 'loaded' and have it set to

'no'.  On the last frame of the movie clip you are loading have a set

variable command to set that 'loaded' variable to 'yes'.  In your "now

loading" loop, instead of looking for the frame to be loaded, look to see if

the variable 'loaded' is equal to 'yes'.  I hope that helps.

Hi,


I have a swf file which will be loaded separately in the movie.  would like

to play "Now loading.." loop while it's loading. The problem is that there

is no "If movie is loaded" command, I suppose that the child movie(swf) has

to send a signal to the parent movie to jump to a diffrent frame. Whats the

best way of doing this? Anyone has done something similar??
