Load Movie

[Kenney]

I'm able to replace the main movie on startup of my program. But I need to replace the main SWF with another one on command, how is this done? :-\

[SWFKit]

Please send us a sample(support@swfkit.com), we will help you to make it work.

[Kenney]

There is no sample since this is the first thing I need to make in my program. Simply said, the program should display an swf (the main movie) which has a "Load Game..." button which allows you to open an SWF file. That opened SWF file should replace the main movie and start playing. I know how to openDialog and load in a movie, but how to make that loaded movie replace the main movie?

[SWFKit]

in action script, you can use

import SWFKit.*;
var filename = Dialogs.fileOpen("flash movies(*.swf)|*.swf|");
if (filename)
    _root.loadMovie(filename);

[Kenney]

That does absolutely nothing at all, doesn't open a dialog.

[SWFKit]

We are not clear about your situation. Please send us your file, so that we will know where the problem is. Thank you.

[Kenney]

Again: There is no file, right now the only code in my FLA is the code you provided me, then that SWF is made into the main movie and executed with SWFkit Pro.

Are you using actionscript 3 in flash cs3? If so, there are two methods, either by using ffish script or action script.

1) ffish script
in swfkit, insert a new script, say "choosefile", and add the following code

var filename = Dialogs.fileOpen("flash movies(*.swf)|*.swf|", "swf");
if (filename) {
FlashPlayer.loadMovie(0, filename);
}

in actionscript 3, call the ffish script

import flash.external.*；

ExternalInterface.call("ffish_run", "choosefile");

2) action script

first, please add "C:\Program Files\SWFKit Pro 3\Classes 3" into your actionscript 3 class path (flash cs3 main menu->view->preferences->actionscript->actionscript 3 settings), so that you can use ffish script objects directly in actionscript 3

second, add the following actionscript code

import SWFKit.*;

var dlg = new Dialogs;
var filename = dlg.fileOpen("flash movies(*.swf)|*.swf|", "swf");
if (filename) {
    _root.loadMovie(filename);
}
dlg.Release();

[Kenney]

Nope, I only know AS2. But your FFish script method worked, thank God it worked

[SWFKit]

:'( The first action script should work well, don't know why

import SWFKit.*;
var filename = Dialogs.fileOpen("flash movies(*.swf)|*.swf|");
if (filename)
    _root.loadMovie(filename);

, which has been tested and works well
