loadMovieNum() Global Function
load an external .swf or .jpg file into a document level
Flash 3; Flash 6 adds .jpg loading and security restrictions
loadMovieNum(url, level)
loadMovieNum(url, level, method)
Arguments
url A string specifying the absolute or relative file path of the external .swf
movie or .jpg image file to load. All URLs must use forward slashes, and
absolute URLs must include the protocol reference (e.g., http:// or file:///).
Relative URLs are resolved relative to the URL of the movie on
_level0 (i.e.,
_level0._url) and use the http:// protocol by default.
level A nonnegative integer, or an expression that yields one, indicating the
number of the document level that will host the external .swf or .jpg file.
method An optional string indicating the method by which to send variables to an
external script. The legal values for
method are "GET" and "POST". This param-
eter must be a literal, not a variable or other expression. On Windows, prior
to Flash 6, the Standalone Player always used the
"GET" method, regardless of
the method specified. As of Flash 6, both
"GET" and "POST" are supported. See
Appendix F.
Description
The loadMovieNum( ) function is nearly identical to loadMovie( ) used with a document
level
