I have one loader component name "myloadder" and my main file name load_swf
and two swf  one is " swffile.swf " and second one is " second.swf "   

one button load swffile.swf into myloadder component and another button load second.swf into myloadder component. problem is only swffile.swf load into component other not. i dont know why.

here is my both button code

it doesn't work

on(release)
{
   _root.myloadder.contentPath="second.swf";
   _root.myloadder.content._lockroot = true;
}


its work

on(release)
{
   _root.myloadder.contentPath="swffile.swf";
   _root.myloadder.content._lockroot = true;
}

Use loaderInstance.load([path]) instead of contentPath

try it yourself it do not display in proper manner.. then let me know

thanks

[nothingGrinder]

should be

myLoadder.load("myswf.swf");

im not sure what you mean by it doesnt display right? could you provide some detail.

[shahzeb]

I mean to say that it load the swf but it doesn't load in the specific location it load in the bottom of the movie. you would easily understand when u try it urself.

I don't like this component, but it works. In fact, this tutorial (the picture on the upper corner) use a Loader component, check it: http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/databind/CatalogTutorial.php?page=7

Its seems to me that there is a bug in a loader component. its load swf but not in the same place and same font. if anyone got an answer of this. let me know.

why macromedia has provided this on the help panel.

loaderinstancename.load([path]);           Fail

[Jorge Solis]

I'm skeptical, but if you really think is a bug, report to Adobe explaining your problem, but be carefull: usually the first way of solving the problems is saying that's a soft bug.

so what about u people how do u load external swf file in flash using movieclip or loader component.

[Jorge Solis]

I use loadMovie and my own preload

[shahzeb]

Dont mind just for the knowledge I am asking u  why dont u use loader component Macromedia provided this component to load external swf??

Problems on resizing, more weigth, less control
