I have the following code to load an external swf by clicking a button. It works fine.
btn_01_01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF);
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var url:String = event.currentTarget.name+".swf";
[Code].....
But the loaded swf is still visible.
I would like that button to also unload the loaded swf.
I have a flash page where I am loading another .swf into. With a button in the loaded swf I need to unload the loaded swf (where the button is) and navigate to a specific frame label in the parent .swf. I've tried to do the following in the key frame where the swf get loaded into I've put the following:
var gallery_load_wonderland:Loader = new Loader();
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEve nt.PROGRESS, loop_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPL ETE, done_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.load(new URLRequest("gallery_wonderland.swf"));
function loop_wonderland(e:ProgressEvent):void {
[Code] .....
I basically want to first load the swf called "gallery_wonderland.swf". Then in the "gallery_wonderland.swf" there's a button called "contact03_btn" which I want to unload "gallery_wonderland.swf" even though it's inside the swf and navigate to the frame label called "Contact" in the parent swf.
What can I do I've done similar before and it works, but when I do it know and I click the contact03_btn it comes with following error message:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@26215ba1 to flash.display.MovieClip.

I am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.

Ok I have create several buttons to navigate to other urls, and one of them is working but the other 3 I have are not working. All I did was copy over the code and change the differences between the two. I don't get any errors or anything but when I click on them nothing happens...
var myspaceSite:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.myspace.com/thehangoutinfo");
myspaceBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goMyspace);
function goMyspace(e:Event){
navigateToURL(myspaceSite);
}
I have a Button within a movieclip. The movieclip does a show/hide function when a button is pressed. The button simply contains:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("contact", 1);
}
However, this button action does not function.

I'm using AS3 in timeline. I have an input text box and a button. I would like to navigate to scenes using passwords and a submit button. On timeline I have four labels: intro_1 to intro_4.

It works with a movieholder and the loadMovie command. It has 9 buttons, one for each picture, and they work. There's also a previous and next button to navigate through the pictures, there the loadMovie command gives problems. Here are 2 lines that are used in the previous button:

on release of the button, how do I navigate to a completely different movie clip? so I know about _parent and _root in terms of moving between layers but say I wanted the press of a button to gotoAndStop(2); inside a different movie clip that is not parented or on the _root?

View 1 RepliesI have a swf that I'd like to navigate with keyboard arrows to access each active button.
(a) navigating through 'hit state' buttons on a menu page using arrow keys
(b) a highlight_mc that remains on the focus item.In the same swf I also have key press methods in place.
I feel like this is an easy issue, but maybe some input form a PRO could unlodge my thinking.

But, when the user clicks another button to go to a different page, the video is still playing because I hear it..How can I stop the video from playing once another button gets clicked?
View 20 RepliesI've been having a bit of a hard time understanding how to get a button which I have created in Flash to navigate to the next slide of the PowerPoint presentation which it has been added into.
I understand that I somehow need to make use of fscommand in ActionScript, but I'm not sure how I can get Flash and PowerPoint to communicate between themselves.
I'm using Flash MX 2004 7.0 and Powerpoint 2003.
The code that u have recommended is not working properly... What i meant is that the function of the back button is to navigate where the users has last viewed the webpages..

View 1 RepliesEverything works perfect except for one problem I just can't figure out. On the homepage, called "home_page_swf", I have three buttons at the end of three paragraphs that say "Learn More" and need them to trigger the "home_page_swf" to unload itself and replace it with one of the other external swf pages. I basically want the three buttons within the "home_page_swf" to perform the same function as the "Services", "Portfolio", and "Team" buttons that are located in main swf. I've been trying to read up on it and I keep finding something about "Dispatch Even" but can't figure out how to apply it to the code I am using for the website I'm working on. I'll post the code below for the main navigation swf and what the labels are for the buttons that are inside the external swf called "home_page_swf".
