I have a button and i am trying to unload it but i dont know how.
I add the child as follows : addChild(buttons);
I try to remove it by : removeChild(buttons);
but this does not work, nothing happens.
i successfully managed to work out the loader script, and load a external swf file into my current project. Now that its working and all is well, i realised that only way to get back to 'main menu' was to close the whole thing. I tried to sort it out with a simple 'back' button but no success there. As mentioned in the title thats the options i found so far but cant seem to quite understand them tbh. I just want it to work so that I easily can manouvre back to 'main menu'.
View 2 RepliesI 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.

Is it possible to unload, or remove a code in an action layer after it has been loaded and run in a timeline.
What I'm trying to accomplish is twofold, one, I'm trying to reload a code on a particular frame like it is on frame one, without playing the entire swf from frame one, and two I would like to possibly be able to change a mouse event on the same button from one thing to another along a timeline, which would require the initial function be removed so it does not conflict/error with the other event.

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".

I am an uber n00b to flash AS3. And it is not my intention to sound like a complete moron, but honestly, I have had a hard enough time figuring out just how to load an external .swf into my main file! add a button within the external .swf which will unload itself and load a new on in its place.
View 1 RepliesUsing AS3. I have in my code a button to stop and remove the swf, but I would like to have in addition to unload a child swf when it plays it's last frame automatically - not using a button.
Here is my code on the main timeline:
var loader:Loader;
var closer:close;
norton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, NortonDemo);
function NortonDemo(e:MouseEvent):void {

Now, what do I need to add or change to this code and add to the code on the last frame of NortonDemo to accomplish what I want to do?

SWF Unload itself and load a new one from button within External SWF?
View 1 RepliesI have a main swf (call it Main1). Main1 calls an external swf (call it swf1). Swf1 loads on top of Main1 like it should. Swf1 has a button that calls another swf on top of Main1(call this Swf2). Well the problem is, the button on Swf1 calls Swf2 on top of itself, instead of removing Swf1 first. I cannot figure this out for s*** how to make this work. How can I unloading Swf1 from the loader, and at the same time load Swf2 into the loader from a single button residing on Swf1? My code is below.
Main1 has a button (click_btn) that loads Swf1 (click_btn is in a Movie Clip, not on main timeline)
ActionScript Code:
stop();
click_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, loadMC)
function loadMC(ev:MouseEvent){
[Code].....
How can I incorporate something like the close button (closer) into done_click to close Swf1 when I call Swf2 from this button (done_click)
On a particular frame I have the action
PHP Code:
loadMovie("swfs/home_text.swf", 1);
I want to add an action on a navigation button to unload that movie from main movie. I tried unloadMovie();, but no luck.
I've gone fully gray trying to learn how to do something in AS3 that was routine in AS2: Unloading (if something's already there) something from a movie clip then loading something in the same clip, all with the same button. Here's the code I'm using, er, attempting to use now. These are for two buttons out of a set of 9. All I'm trying to do is the simple: look to see if there's something in the clip "hovercap", and if so, remove it completely;, then load a new movie. (If there ISN'T something in "hovercap", I want to load a new movie anyway.
invisible_mvp1800c.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOU SE_DOWN, loadImage); {
function loadImage(url:String):void {
if(imageLoader != null && contains(imageLoader)){
removeChild(imageLoader);

Clearly, I'm still learning things in AS 3.
