Error Message

[mrnothersan]

Hello,

When I try and make an object for my room and attach this ActionScript code to it: myContainer.loadMovie("test.swf"); --it comes up with this Compiler Error message: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler.

Could somebody help me with this error?

Thanks
Dominic

This is on the time line no?

Or is it on a movieclip somewhere.?

Hello,

I have inserted a square on Flash and converted it to a Movieclip. When I test the file, It is giving the error as a compiler error.

Thanks
Dominic

where did you put the script? in the timeline or in the movieclip?

I clicked on the movieclip (square) and put the script into there.

Thanks

I assume it is in the MovieClip. That error just means you have to put a handler into the coding.

Try this code:

Code: Select all

onClipEvent (load) {
myContainer.loadMovie("test.swf")
}

Make sure the files are located in the same exact directory.
