I have a button ( 3 buttons ) and each button is assigned to Load a movie. When you click one of the buttons, the LoadMovie on Level 1 is good. Now here is my problem, how will I unload the current movie before Loading the next one. I want to UNLOAD the CURRENT MOVIE first before loading another MOVIE.
View 2 RepliesI want the current swf to unload and the new one to load only after a transition occurs. Is there a more efficient way to do this than if. switch()?
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to script each button in a nav system to unload the current movie and load the swf the button selected is related too?
View 3 RepliesThe code works but with an issue. When I load an image it replaces the current one loaded but when I alpha tween the image to zero I see both images fading out on top of each other like the first one is still loaded but underneath the current one. Any body run into this before?
var imageLoader:Loader;
function loadImage(url:String):void {
// Set properties on my Loader object

I Have 3 Movies:MAIN.SWF, contains loading movie actions for Nav.swf and Home.swf.NAV.SWF, contains navagation menu loaded on Level 2 in Main HOME.SWF, contains slideshow for home page loaded on Level 1 in Main In NAV.SWF, there is a MOVIE CLIP "graphmc", which contains a BUTTON "graphicbtn", When this button is clicked, I'd like the HOME.SWF (which is loaded into Main.swf on Level 1) to fade out and unload, and load and fade in Graphics.SWF in place of it.

I am making a flipping page book in flash and have had to create sections in different movies because it kept crashing when i tried to have all the pages in the same movie. I have 3 movies 'page flip4', 'pageflip4-2', and 'page flip 4-3' . I have used the code below to go (flip bacwards) from 'page flip4-2' to the frame label ''backflip'' in 'page flip4'..This works fine
Code:
on (press) {

I am loading external swf's into a main load.swf, using a Moviecliploader object. What I basically want to do is that, after an external movie, say home.swf, loads another external swf, say about.swf, home.swf should be unloaded.
home.swf is loading about.swf into the _root.mc_holder, which is placed inside load.swf. I want all external files to be placed within this holder. Now this is working with some files, but not with others. My standard code within all files is this:
//code within home.swf to load about.swf
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();var ldrlistener = new Object();loader.addListener(ldrlistener);ldrlistener.onLoadStart =

View 6 RepliesI have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.
I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}
I was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
mc_LCD_loader.attachMovie("hilight", "g", 1), ("header", "X", 1); mc_LCD_loader.g._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.g._y = 1000;
mc_LCD_loader.X._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.X._y = 1000;

My _root movie is nothing more than a interface with navigation buttons. When someone clicks a button another swf is loaded into an empty movie clip on _root.
My Problem:I understand loaders and use them all the time, however, I still to this day have never gotten a loader to work with loading an external movie into a currently playing movie. (ie: in my _root movie you press the "Searching" button and searching.swf is loaded into _root.contents --> contents is the empty movie clip)So anyways... where does the loader go? The only results I've ever had is as SOON as the loadMovie method is called the movie hangs until the entire movie clip is loaded. Then the loader runs... thus making it totally useless.
I would like to set height after I load an external movie into a movie clip.
For example,
this.body_mc.loadMovie("body_about.swf");
_root._height = this.body_mc._height;
I always get height as 0, because body_mc is an empty movieClip.
how to access the body_about.swf height as soon as loaded the movie into the empty movie clip?
im having troubles unloading a swf file that is 2 levels above my main movie.Basically I have a main movie and I have actionscript on the timeline which corresponds to a button which loads a swf (eg my web portfolio work):
digitalbut.onRelease = function() {
disableBtns();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
[code]...
This all works....Then in this swf I have another button which again loads another swf on top to show a particular piece of work and the code on the timeline to correspond to the button is:
Dior_hit.onRelease = function() {
createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
loadMovie("Digital/Dior/Dior.swf","container");
[code]...
This works also....but I come into problems when I want to create a button in this third swf file which then closes this Dior.swf so you are left with the bottom two still showing. I already have a close button on the Digital.swf which works a charm to get you back to the main movie and the code for this is:
on (release) {
_root.container.unloadMovie()
unloadMovieNum(2);
[code]...
how I can close this third swf to still show the two below?? I have tried so many options but none seem to work!

I have a main SWF that loads in an external SWF(2) which has a button that when clicked loads in another external SWF(3). (we'll call them SWF 2 and 3) what I was finding was when I clicked the button on the external SWF (2), when SWF (3) loaded in the contents of the main SWF and SWF (2) were still visible . However I managed to remove the contents of SWF(2) by doing unload movie easily as they run on the same timeline...the problem is I don't know how to unload movie on the main SWF when SWF(3) is being fired because it doesn't run on the same timeline as the main SWF. Surely it is somehow accessible since it is visible in the background ...even if they aren't on the same timeline? how would i get the movie to unload in the main SWF?

I have an index.swf that loads the following movies.
loadMovieNum("home.swf", 4);
loadMovieNum("home_2.swf", 53);
loadMovieNum("help.swf", 50);
loadMovieNum("glossary.swf", 26);
loadMovieNum("Resources.swf", 27);
Is there a way to unload the home_2.swf from the index page when a button is clicked on the home.swf?
Home_2.swf is sort of a splash animation that plays over the navigation panel and then sits on the side so when any of the nav buttons are clicked on in level 4 .swf I want the level 53 .swf to unload.
im using addChild to load a movieclip after a button click. It loads to the middle of the movie clip where there's a stop action and a close button, whick jumps to the next frame to play out the movie clip, but then it just starts over.

I've got a launcher movie on _level1 that loads movies onto _level2 based on the button that is clicked. That all works well and good, but I can't figure out how to unload the movie when it finishes playing, so as to return to the menu.
Some of the FLVs that are being loaded were too big to add to a timeline. So I had to use FLVPlayback to load the FLVs into my level 2 movie. I don't know how to tell FLVPlayback to close its SWF when playback has finished.

I am absolutely new to animation, I have created a movie for web page (using Flash 8)purpose:
--movie is the navigation menu for few of my website's pages.
--uses gotoAndPlay() to play a different animation (in same movie) for each web page.
Works, but late, movie plays from 1st to 61st frame (on 61st frame there is a code gotoAndPlay(1);) then it moves to actual frame number. In the 1st frame of my movie I insert this actionscript:

I am creating a full site in flash. The main movie has an empty movie clip in the middle of the movie to load external movies as the user clicks on the links. Everything has worked good so far as the linking has only gone 1 level deep. However, when I created a new external movie, and had buttons on it for another external page, but yet to open in the main movie, I can't get anything to work. Example.... In the main movie, the user clicks on the archive link, and the external archive movie is loaded into the main movie. Now, on this archive movie, there is a button on it that links to a another movie (say text effects.swf). However, when they click this button for text effects, I can't get it to load into the main movie clip and replace the archive movie that was currenlty there.
