My project is PC software and not related to web.It contains of Main menu and 3 external SWF (Total 4 Files).Inside the Main-Menu 3 buttons , when the user click on button # 1 or # 2 or # 3 I want a code to unload the main menu first then open external swf # 1 or #2 or #3 depending on which button user click.I use this code to load the external SWF:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader;
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("f1.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
Its working fine but the problem it load the external swf with the main menu in the same time! what I want a code first unload Main-menu then loading external swf. and another code in external SWFs to exit to Main-Menu with ofcorse unload the swf first then exit to main-menu.
I have a menu and each button reveals a hidden layer which includes it's submenu (another swf).The submenus have sub-submenus in the same swf.When I take the mouse away from these layers the submenus hide again.All these work.The problem is that when a sub-submenu is opened and then the layer hides, when it's shown again the sub-submenu is still opened.Is there a way to clear memory or unload a swf file through html or through the main menu swf?

View 11 RepliesI have created an XML driven Drop Down menu using the kirupa tut by Senocular found here. I am trying to figure out how to get the submenus to push the rest of the main menu down on rollover kind of like this. Not sure where to start to get the AS to get the button created fromt he XML nodes to move down.I haven't changed the code found int he tut too much and the menu works fine except that the rollovers just go over the main menu.

View 3 RepliesI have a loaderIt loads xml files, which are like galleries (each has many image paths inside)I loop over the xml nodes to get all the image pathsI create a new loader for each image (called imageLoader), and dump each one within a movieclip which is on the stage (called _storage)I need to switch between galleries so I need to unload the content of one xml file, then load a different one Does that make sense? My problem is this - currently I am simply removing _storage then creating it and loading into it again when I want to switch galleries. It works, visually. The galleries switch...but I don't think the images are actually being removed.[code]....
View 13 RepliesI am looking at creating a menu with three movieclip buttons on a main menu. I want to keep these buttons on the top of the screen at all times. I am opening different swf's and I want to make sure that the buttons are still showing. I know there is something with changing or swapping the depth of the movie clip when it loads the new swf's in, but I have not found anything that is seeming to work.
View 4 RepliesI'm working on a web menu, that has sub menus. I'm currently trying to get the sub menu to jump back to the main menu if the mouse is no longer inside the submenu zone.
It works if I move the mouse quickly to another part of the Flash area, but if I quickly move it out of the Flash area and onto say the html document, it doesn't update fast enough, and thus still thinks the mouse is hovering over it.
I know I can simply update the movie frame rate which does work, but I was wondering if there is any way to get Flash to check to see if the mouse IS ACTUALLY ACTIVE over it, and if not close the submenu?
I have an XML gallery and I want in the next button function to "unload" all content and load new XML file.[code]...
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to, or of any tutorials that have drop down menus like this:[code]I don't mean the way it moves around, but how the sub-menus load underneath.I want to create a horizontal navigation where you click on a main button, and a sub-menu loads underneath the main navigation. Then I want the same for the other buttons. But I can't figure out how to get the first sub-menu to unload when the new sub-menu loads.
View 1 RepliesI have a main swf that loads 12 other swf files. The loading works. What I need is closing what just loaded. I created a close button Btn1 on all 12 other loaded files. It looks fine but if you keep clicking in a different names the speed of the main swf slows down each time.
Code for Btn1 in all 12 files :
Btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick1);
function buttonClick1(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(16);
};
I am not sure if I need to add an unload on my main swf or on the 12 other file instead of the gotoAndStop. Here is the url to the project. [URL].
I am unable to unload content loaded by loader class.
View 4 RepliesIf you haven't met me yet, that's because I'm pretty new around here. I picked up ActionScript just earlier this week, actually. Name's Kate. Nice to meet you. All righty. I'll start by saying that I've been referencing this thread:

I've just recently made the leap from AS2 to AS3 and after several days of reading the CS4 help and searching posts here, I'm still at a loss how to get my first AS3 project off the ground.I'm working on an illustrated choose-your-own-path story with each step split into seperate swfs to speed up loading time.I've got a main file loading a scene swf using.[code]The loading works fine (although I've just found a post that suggests I should wait until the swf loads before adding it as a child), but how would I then get the buttons in the loaded swf to tell the main swf which swf to load next?I'm stumped firstly by that, and additionally by how I should then UNload the swfs. Is it not common practice to refer to objects by their '.name' in AS3? Should I be loading the swfs into an array?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create app. that has 3 main buttons that goto 3 pages each with 15-30 buttons that each load external .swf that covers most of primary swf xpt 3 main buttons. Clicking on those 3 main buttons should unload previously loaded .swf and each loaded .swf should have preloader in its start.
1.) preloader works fine when i launch file separately, but when i load it from main .swf, it just shows "100%" at once...
2.) 3 main buttons doesn't seem to unload loaded .swf...
Main .swf code:
PHP Code:[code].....
i have this menu, that has the general actionscripting on the button, but the characteristics are in the xml file... color, and file name..
in the main movie, the button's actionscript i have:

area.onPress=function(){
[Code]....
what do i do to unload the movies each time another is loaded?
I am using this script in the 1st frame to load external XML file
PHP Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var links:Array = new Array();
myXML.load("myMenu.xml");myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function (success:Boolean){
[Code] .....
In the same frame I have another button, on release I want the actionscript to unload this menu. I tried using
PHP Code:
_root.myXML.removeMovieClip();
But seems not working out.
How can I load/unload a movie located on the main scene, from a movie clip, or vice versa. Right now I can only load/unload a movie if located in the same timeline.
View 2 RepliesI can load the image by pressing the green button (see attached file). However, How do I UNLOAD the same image by clicking onto the image, rather than adding another button on my main flash file. This means that as soon as the image is loaded, the user can click on the same image to unload it.
