Hi everyone,

can anyone answer this issue I am having?

I am able to embed the code, and therefor the slideshow, into a Dreamweaver html page - works fine.

But what I really want to do is have the slideshow play inside a Flash movie clip, within the timeline of my Flash page.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hugh

Look into creating a movie place holder that calls the showit movie.
I'll post the info I have tomorrow if noone answers you by then.
I'm just on my Macbook and all my flash stuff is on the windows box(yuck)

I know it can be done. JT did it.

I did it once upon a time too...there are a lot of threads about it at the showitfast forum. I copied and pasted the code here but didn't read closely...hope it helps.

_quality = "BEST";
_root.showit_path="saidyes/";
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip, httpStatus:Number):Void {
target_mc._alpha=0;
}
var timer=0;
loadListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
target_mc._quality="BEST";
target_mc.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(timer>1){
target_mc._alpha=100;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}else{
timer++;
}
};
}
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
mcLoader.loadClip("saidyes/showit.swf", showitweb_instance);

Hi, well, I am actually making some progress here, but I have to keep the loadmovieclip file in the showit folder to get it to work. My preference would be that I am able to store the files within my own structure, and not be constrained. (makes househeeping easier!)

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

HUgh

I've never done this myself, but if you want your embedded show to perform like it does standalone (i.e. small, fast and slick), I don't think you have many options outside what's already been recommended here.

Otherwise, if bandwidth isn't an issue, you could convert your Showit Web show to a WMV and do whatever you like with it. A tool that might help with that is linked in my signature.

But I would suggest keeping the existing show as-is and embedding it as per these instructions. That way you'll be able to keep it as web-friendly as humanly possible

argghhhhhhhh!!!!

This issue is driving me crazy!

I have my index.html file in my root folder, an MC on my flash stage with the actionscript as follows (showit folder in root also, and named index_showit)

myMCL.loadClip ("showit.swf", "container1");

Doesn't work.


Have also tried...

myMCL.loadClip ("index_showit/showit.swf", "container1");

Also doesn't work!

Help!!!!!!
