how to add a swf movie into a frame?

#1 08-27-2008, 08:00 PM

Hi guys. I have a pop up box that loads when a button is pressed. Within the
pop up box I have placed a small swf file from the library. But when I preview
this I only get a black outline where the swf file should be. Can anyone tell
me what I am doing wrong?

Is the movie in your library, and is the linkage set up to export for
actionscript? Right click on the item in your library and select Linkage and
check the this is checked. Remember that you have to reference the movie by
it's Linkage ID, not symbol name.

Unless you already have the item on the stage in the swf, in that case, you
may have a stop in it before it can play. Sometimes it's a simple thing

Thanks for your reply.
I did what you said but it still is just a black outline in the preview.

When I place the swf file in the frame do I need to add action script to it in order for it to play?
