Hello everyone!

Ive been having some trouble trying to figure out why this bit of code (which i put together from tutorials) only loads the “terms and conditions” swf fil.

I have three buttons, all of which seem to only load the terms and conditions button. Have i missed anything out or written anything wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am no coder and am trying to learn through trial and error.

Thanks in advance.

my code:

import fl.transitions._;  
import fl.transitions.easing._;

//assigns click listeners for each menu button  
aboutBUTTON.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked);  
galleryBUTTON.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked);  
termsBUTTON.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked);

//Makes the buttons look like buttons (hand apears when hovering over)  
aboutBUTTON.buttonMode = true;  
galleryBUTTON.buttonMode = true;  
termsBUTTON.buttonMode = true;

//this loader is used to load the external swf files  
var loader:Loader;

//URLrequest stores the path of the file to be loaded  
var urlRequest:URLRequest;

//This array holds all the tweens so that dont get garbage collected  
var tweens:Array = new Array();

//Stores the current page we are displaying  
var currentPage:MovieClip = null;

//Stores the next page we are going to display  
var nextPage:MovieClip = null;

//This event is called when a button is clicked  
function buttonClicked (e:Event):void{

```
//creates a new loader instance
loader = new Loader();

//If we clicked the first button we load the first page
if (e.target == aboutBUTTON) {
	
	urlRequest = new URLRequest ("about.swf");
	loader.load(urlRequest);
	
}

//if we clicked the second button then we load the second page
else if (e.target == galleryBUTTON) {
	
		urlRequest = new URLRequest ("gallery.swf");
		loader.load(urlRequest);
}

//We load page three as we know that the other two pages havent been 

```

//chosen  
else{  
urlRequest = new URLRequest (“terms.swf”);  
loader.load(urlRequest);  
}

//We want to know when the next page has finished loading  
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileLoaded);

}

//This function is called when we have finished loading a content page.  
function fileLoaded(e:Event):void{

```
//The loader contains the page we are going to display
nextPage = e.target.content;

//Lets animate the current content away from the stage
// First lets check to see if there is a current page on stage
if (currentPage != null){
	
	//tween the current page from left to right
	var tweenX:Tween = new Tween(currentPage, "x", Regular.easeOut, 
								 currentPage.x, 500, 1, true);
	
	//Decrease the alpha to zero
	var tweenAlpha:Tween = new Tween (currentPage, "alpha", Regular.easeOut,
									  1, 0, 1, true);
	
	//Push the tweens into arrays
	tweens.push(tweenX);
	tweens.push(tweenAlpha);
	
	//CurrentPageGone will be called when the tween is finished
	tweenX.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, currentPageGone);
}

//There is no current page, so we can animate the next page to
//the stage. The animation is done in the showNextPage function.
else{
	showNextPage();
}

```

}

//This function animates and displayes the next page  
function showNextPage():void {

```
	//Tween the next page from left to the center
	var tweenX:Tween = new Tween(nextPage, "x", Regular.easeOut, 
					-200, 0, 1, true);
	
	//Tween the alpha to from 0 to 1
	var tweenAlpha:Tween = new Tween(nextPage, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, 
					0, 1, 1, true);
	
	//Push the tweens into an array
	tweens.push(tweenX);
	tweens.push(tweenAlpha);
	
	//Add the next page to the stage
	addChild(nextPage);
	
	//Next page is now our current page
	currentPage = nextPage;

```

}

//This function is called when the current page has been animated away  
function currentPageGone(e:Event):void {

```
//Remove the current page completely
removeChild(currentPage);

//Let's show the next page
showNextPage();

```

}
