Load a swf with movieClipLoader from the click of a button

[Max58kl]

Hi

I am trying to load a swf file using the MovieClip loader object.

var myMCL:MovieClip Loader = new MovieClipLoader ();
var myListener:Obje ct = new Object();
myMCL.addListen er(myListener);

At the moment I have the swf loading as soon as a frame is entered on the timeline.

this.button1.on Press = function() {
gotoAndStop("fr amex");
}

Code on frame

myMCL.loadClip( "my.swf", 50);

Is there a way to load the swf as soon as the button is clicked.

Something like

button1.onRelea se = function() {
myMCL.loadClip( "my.swf", 50);
}

Any help would be welcome!

Hi

I seem to have solved the problem using the following code -

imgBtn.onReleas e = function()
{
_root.createEmp tyMovieClip("ho lder", 1)
loadMovie("main .swf", "holder");
_root.holder._x scale; //width scale
_root.holder._y scale; //height scale
}

If you want to load a jpg instead of a swf just change main.swf to main.jpg.
You can also specify the hight and width of the file you are loading using -

_root.holder._x scale = 225; //width scale
_root.holder._y scale = 175; //height scale

I use a master SWF called Index, with a main bar of buttons; each button opens a SWF from the assets folder -

For a button called genInfoBtn which, when clicked will open introduction.sw f, I wrote this:

//this will load external SWFs
on (release) {
stop();
stopAllSounds() ;
_root.myMCL.loa dClip("assets/swfs/introduction.sw f", 5);
}
