loadMovie() doesn't work when in HTML

[dplows]

I have a flash file (main.fla) that contains an empty movie clip which has the action :

loadMovie("myMovie.swf");

When I test the movie in Flash it works fine.
It also works fine when I have Flash closed & just open the (main.swf) file.
And, of course, the loaded movie (myMovie.swf) plays fine too.

HOWEVER, when I embed the main movie file (main.swf) into an HTML page, it will NOT load "myMovie.swf" like it's supposed to.

Note: when I embed "myMovie.swf" into the HTML page, it works fine.



Anyone know why it's doing this?

[Both files are in the same folder]
[I have tried embedding it into a fresh HTML multiple times]

loadMovie("myMovie.swf");

Is the above the exact code you're using?

If so, it's wrong. It should hold a second parameter, which is the empty container movie clip's instance name.

Either:

some_mc.loadMovie("myMovie.swf");

Or:

loadMovie("myMovie.swf", "some_mc");

The actual code I'm using is....

ctr.loadMovie("speakup1.swf");

besides, like I said, it's working fine in Flash with no Output Errors

Is the initial .html also in the same folder/directory?

funny, someone just mentioned that on the kirupa forums......I'm going to try it tomorrow (it's on my other computer).

It must be though....I just didn't consider it besides it was the Flash movie loading another Flash movie. That definitely makes sense.

Guess if someone on the Kirupa forums mentioned it, then it must be true! :rolleyes:

That's not what I meant, just saying that it's a coincidence
