Step 2 - Create the main movieFirst we'll create a place holder into which the library will be loaded.
Note: The place holder is crucial. In the next step you'll
use the loadMovie command on the place holder. The loadMovie command replaces
whatever movie-clip it is executed on - so without a place holder the entire
main movie would be replaced.
Add ActionScript to load the library.
placeHolder.loadMovie("library.swf");
Add ActionScript to wait until the library has been loaded.Since it takes time for library.swf to download, we need to loop through some frames until the library has completely loaded, since the symbols contained in the library will not be available until downloading is complete. While it would be nice to put a proper loader in here, for brevity we'll do the minimum and just make the play-head loop over frames 2 & 3 until the library is loaded. Once the library has been loaded we'll use the attachMovie command to load the symbols onto the stage.
if(placeHolder.getBytesLoaded() < placeHolder.getbytesTotal()) {
prevFrame();
play();
} else {
placeHolder.attachMovie("line","myLine",2);
placeHolder.attachMovie("circle","myCircle",3);
placeHolder.attachMovie("box","myBox",4);
placeHolder.myLine._x = -20;
placeHolder.myCircle._y = 20;
stop();
}
Play the movie (CTRL + Enter). You should see the line, the box and the circle loaded on the stage.
