Basically its just a bit of code that says

loadMovieNum('top.swf', 2);

Then the file top.swf loads into it and plays. All the swf files are together in the same folder so I can't see why the base can't see the other movies.

It's not just this movie, because I tried another flash file in there to be sure.

I think the only way around it is to create the flash header as one big file, which is a shame because altogether the flash files account for about 250k, which is now going to have be downloaded all at once.

I have been searching the forums to try and find an answer to my question and so far this is the closest post to what I am trying to do....sorry to get off topic -

I am trying to use a flash file for our contact page to make it much more dynamic - but I am unable to figure out how to remove the current contact form and replace it with my swf file without really making a mess of things - any ideas?

Thanks,
jcole

Jeremy, I'll be taking care of it for you, don't worry We'll just create a new static page and point all the contact links there.

I've tried another flash file and I think I've identified the problem.

The file I'm loading is essentially a "base" file. Within this movie there are actionscript commands to load other swf files into the base at various levels.

The problem is coming from the other swf files not loading into the base. I presume the flash movies people have had working are all set into one swf, with no other swfs loading into that?

Has anyone found a workaround for this?

You have any luck yet? I am having the same issue with a flash file that is loading XML Data and external jpg files. I'd love to hear what you came up with. It just doesn't make any sense to have to build it as one big file. I am trying to make something that is expandable and editable without opening the fla file.

Hey man... I actually just figured it out. When I am loading the XML Data in Flash I had to put an Absolute link to the xml file exactly where it sits on the server rather than a relative link. Then I had to put absolute links to all of the jpg files within the xml file.

Fixed everything right up for me.

Cheers!
