I have an empty movie clip which I use to load movies into it...(A) and (B)...
My question is: If I load movie "A", and later on I load "B" (here is my quesion) what happen to the loading process if I need to load "A" again? is goint to load it from scratch or some how stays in the cache?
I am in the process of building my new website and am having some loading issues. Here is a bit of info. gallery_stage This is the main movie that I am loading everything into. This movie is places in the center of an html page in the portfolio section of my site. gallery_menu.swf this is the navigation menu that I am loading onto the 'stage'. Currently it loads insode of a container 'menuload'. This is the code that I'm using to load it.

I am trying to create and delete empty movies that I can load external .swfs into. While the below works if I get rid of
var currentLoaded = "my_loader" + myNum;
I can't work out how to dynamically name the empty movies, as the below just comes up with errors. I'm pretty new to AS3 and stuck. Any ideas?
var myNum = 0;
var currentLoaded = "my_loader" + myNum;
function loadNew (myNum){

I understand the idea in which you can load movies into an empty mc holder. However, I would like to be able to load other movies using another empty mc within this empty mc, so for example, on certain pages the nav at the top would stay the same, but the content inside would change. At other times when the user clicks on a button, the whole page would change.
Here is the code which is attached to the buttons:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "section1";
container.loadMovie("section1.swf");

The function below belongs to an XML based photoGallery.swf... Its menu is automatically populated from the same XML file as well (thumbnail picture, title, description). The pictures load into an empty mc called imageContainer.In another empty mc called textContainer, I would like to load some text.swf from the xml list as well.How would you include that in the code?
Code:
function loadTmbs () {
var tmbs:XML = new XML ();[code]......
Why in the world won't this work? I have an empty MC on the stage and nothing else. On the empty MC (named "clip") I have:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
this.loadMovie("myexternal.swf");
}
I've also tried _root.clip and yes I've quadruple checked instance names etc.
I've done this a hundred times and today it doesn't work?
I am trying to load a jpg that is in my library to an empty movie clip on the stage when a button is clicked.[code]The instance name of my empty movie clip on the stage is graph2_mc.The IDName of the bitmap(jpg) in the library is RLC01z1.As far as the .temp before attachMovie I just tried that after it wasn't working without it.

I'm working on a site for a friend's art gallery.I have a dynamic html file I'm using to list an archive of shows so that it can be easily updated by the curator.Is it possible to code a link in the externally loaded xml file that will tell my flash movie to load an external swf into an empty mc on the root? is there a way to:

In AS2 I would normally create an empty MovieClip, give it an instance name and then in the actions I would make the linkage with emptyMC_mc.loadMovieClip("intro.flv");
In AS3 I'm breaking out to figure this out..., I'm making a game and I want the first frame to load an external FLV, then when the FLV is over, go to frame 2 and load another external FLV and then when this second FLV is over, go to frame number 3..
_root.loadMovie(_root.gamename, _root.game); ... that is the code im using to load a movie into an empty mc on the main .swf This code is in a movie that is also loaded from an empty mc in my main .swf 'gamename' is defined in the _root movie and 'game' is the instance of the empty mc where I want it to load. However, when the swf loads, it just loads at 0,0 in my main .swf and not where the instance of game is located.

I'm trying to understand how AS3 works compared to AS2 when using navigation buttons to load external .swf files.
In AS2, I would have 5 menu buttons. Each button contained a script to load an external .swf file into layer 2 (on top of my existing movie). It would also contain a line of code to unload any movie that was already in Layer 2. This way new movies came in on top and were easy to identify when it came time for them to be unloaded.
Now in AS3, I can't find a similar way to work with external movies, since there are no longer layers. I create a movieLoader and add a child to it to load my external .swf - that works fine.But how do I tell each button to remove any children that already exist before loading the new child? The way it works now, the movies just keep piling on top of each other whenever I click a button.[code]...
[URL]My goal is to make all animations to load at once, because right now it only loads (loadMovie) on whatever you click, therefore there is a delay between the link you click and what will open.how you could preload all animations before you enter the site, I need your help, your any tip, and your advice on what code should I use.[URL]

Is it possible to load a .swf into an empty mc that is dynamically created, behind a layer on my main flash file?
I want the loaded .swf to load behind the interface buttons on my main flash file? Is that possible or do I need to put the interface buttons on a separate .swf and load that .swf in?
I have a main SWF with an empty MC holder and all of the main navigation button on actions. When the buttons are clicked it then loads an external SWF into the empty MC. I am having trouble telling the button to load the movie once and then stop loading if someone clicks on the link again. I want to prevent someone from double clicking to cause the animation to blink. *rapidly click on "home" to see what I mean.

All of my button actions look like:
home_btn.onRelease = function(){
loadMovie("images/6661_home.swf", _root.dropzone);

I just need to know where to reference _root to load a swf into an empty mc using an asfunction.

i'm trying to attach/create a new empty movieclip to load an image into each time my function fires (function has setInterval on it).so far, my code works in that the first time it creates the empty clip and loads the pic in it, measures the loaded bytes and alpha fades in when it's loaded.when the function repeats however, the newly created clip is either not there or i am not referencing it correctly, or there's some problem with the way i'm trying to do this.I don't want to delete the previously attached clip since i'm alpha fading the new one to 100 on top of it.kind of a simple crossfade that way.here's my code:
