RE: FLASH: Load Movie using variable

[Dave Hollinden]

Hi Waldo,


You need to set the URL in your Load Movie action to Expression because the

URL you are supplying is a variable.  Try putting a Trace command right

before the Load Movie to make sure that value of url1 is correct and that

you are targeting it correctly.  Also, the swf file that corresponds to url1

has to be located where the URL says it is, or you will get the "Error

opening" message.


Here is an example of how I use Load Movie with variables.   It loads a

randoml selected banner ad into the Movie Clip "randbanners".


Load Movie ("banners/banner" & random & ".swf", "../bannerdrop/randbanners")

My problem: How can i pass the value of that variable (called url1) to

the comand "load movie"?

I tried both ABC string as Expression, but both didn't work.:


1. ABC string:

Load Movie ("/:url1", 1)


Resulting in the error " Error opening URL ":url1" "


and


2. Expression:

Load Movie (/:url1, 1)


With result " Error opening URL "C:\Temp\FlashFiles\url1" "
