this has probably been answere before but it’s beena while since i was last in the forum…
what is the secret to clicking on another link at the 2advanced site and only the central window displaying the updated contents?
I want to use this option in my site as do most flash sites these days…it’s just that I dont know how to go about using or designing this method.
I want all my pages to display just in a central viewer and the surrounding flash components to remain the same…can someone please help?
many thanx in advance for any help.
Mike…
there basically loading in a external swf into a blank mc.
You place a mc in the top left of where you want the content to go and give it a instance name of content, and on your buttons place this code.
on(release){
loadMovie("whatever.swf", "_root.content");
}
So on release of your button load the swf called “whatever” and load it to your blank mc which we gave a instance of content.
Its the same deal with this tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm

many thanx buddy for the feedback…
the downside is I’m a newbie so I’m afraid DUH!
is my most commonly used phrase in the flash forum…
I know it must be a pain in the *** trying to drill it into us newbies but I’m trying to grasp it slowly but surely.
thanx again,
Mike.
have a crack at that tutorial it will help you out understand using external movies.
