i want swfkit to load an image file in an mc, but it wont work >
in flash i got a button and an mc (loader)
on the button i use this code:
on (release) {
fscommand("ffish_run", "openfiles");
}

in swfkit i use:
var filename = Dialogs.fileOpen("flash movies(*.jpg)|*.jpg|", "jpg");
if (filename) {
_root.loader.loadMovie(0, filename);
}

but this doesn't do anything ???
can someone help me please ??

You cannot control a movieclip in ffish script directly; however, you can only load an image into the level0 in ffish script:

FlashPlayer.loadMovie(0, filename);

To solve the problem, we recommend that you call swfkit objects directly in actionscript, e.g. in actionscript 2

import SWFKit.*;
var filename = Dialogs.fileOpen("flash movies(*.jpg)|*.jpg|", "jpg");
if (filename) {
 _root.loader.loadMovie(0, filename);
}

To code swfkit code directly in flash you need the swfkit3

In swfkit2 you have to build a workaround like this.

1. browse for a file with swfkit: you get a variable containing the path of your jpg
2. transfer the path to flash with the setVariable method
3. since this is asynch programming, let flash know you transfered the path. I used to do this with the trigger component.
4. when the trigger is activated, it calls a function in flash to load the jpg.

I made you a sample

thank you !!! ;D
is it also possible to load a png???

[meester]

sure

[sabatino]

and if i want to import multiple images, i need 2 triggers, or how???

[SWFKit]

Sure, you can use 2 triggers. However, you can also combine the file names of the images, e.g. "c:\image.jpg,c:\sun.png" and pass it to one trigger. Then in the trigger event handler you can separate the image file names and load them separately.
