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
Timeline?

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

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.
