I don't know if this helps but with the "Error opening URL" error it shows this at the end of path: s_0NaN.swf Doesn't the NaN mean it's not recongizing it as a number?? I thought this might be a clue as to why it isn't working..

Just for testing I tried creating a new flash file called s_01.swf. In that file I created an empty MC labeled container. I put in a forward button and put in this code: on (release) { next++; // Number variable current_swf = "s_0"+next+".swf"; container.loadMovie(current_swf); } I...

Would I have this as my button code? on (press) { next++; // Number variable current_swf = "s_0"+next; container.loadMovie(current_swf); } I don't have the current swf's name held in any variables - it would just be a series of swfs labeled s_01.swf, s_02.swf and so on.

This is what I am trying to do: Have forward and backward buttons that access swfs by using a current swf + 1. So basically it says I need to identify what swf I am currently accessing (say s_01.swf) and when the forward button is click go to s_01 + 1 or s_02.swf. Is there a way to code it so...

One question I did have is because this has the render as html setting does the user need to have the font you choose on their pc already or do I need to embed it? I'd hate to have it substitute it with arial or something if they don't have the font I use. thanks!

I did and it didnt work so for the helluva it I created a new file and started from scratch and now it works (in the way you described)! Thanks for the tip!

I forgot to mention that the dynamic text needs to be pulled from an external file (I know how to get the bullets to display if the dynamic text is inside flash) thanks

Does anyone know how to get bullet points to display inside a dynamic text field in flash without using a css or other extremely complex method?? This is what I am using, which works fine for text but it does not display bullets. This is in the first frame of the flash file which displays the...

That's what I do but when I publish the file it just creates an exe that has the flv inside of it (huge file). I do link the flv in the component to the folder where it resides. I don't understand how to publish the exe so it acts like a shortcut, and does not contain the flv.

I forgot to mention that I am using a flash component (the one that comes with flash CS3) to play the video, no actionscript code is used to play it.

I have a large flv video file that I want to create an exe projector file (a "click me to start" file for users) that is linked to and plays the flv video when you open the exe. These files would then be burned to a cd rom. Does anyone know how to create the link from the exe projector to open...

I have a 16 frame movieclip (MC labeled animation) that i'd like to have 2 buttons control so when you rollover the forward button it plays the movieclip forward(and loops from frame 16 to 1) and the MC stops on the current frame when you rolloff. The same with the backward button - when you...

I figured out the problem -- I moved the button to a different screen and now it works fine. Your code did work. thanks!

My Shared Object name is design so I used this code below in a button to delete that particular SO: on (press) { design.clear(); } Is this the correct usage? It didn't delete the SO after I clicked on the button.

I replaced sharedObject with my SO name but still no dice. I'm going to do some trial/error with other parts of my code, perhaps that is the problem. Thanks!
