Best way to load a movie:

programming flash
1

I am having some problems knowing what is the best way to load this type of stuff:

I have a main page : the main page has about 5 links.
when you click for example the first link(about) it will load a window, into the old window. now that about page has a link also, but when i click on the link in the about page everything dissapears: and I am loading into targets:

so would loading into level be the best way to load sublevels?:ro:

either that, or load into MC’s, which can be created via AS…

personally, I use levels, but that is because it’s the way I learned, way back in the days we coded AS in stone tablets with a bronze axe…

way back in the days we coded AS in stone tablets with a bronze axe…

Hey i want to try it also, is there a tutorial for coding into stone tablets?jk but serious is there a tut here?:h:

I found a tutorial called : Loading Movies From A Remote Location,
here at kirupas place you think that would help me load stuff ito sublevels?

prob.

there is a “full flash site” tut out there somewhere which uses levels…

it’s really simple.

you use loadmovie, then code the ‘target level’ ex. _level10.whatever to control it.

look at the actions panel in the novice mode, the windows will show up on top for the stuff you will need…

I’m not the AS guru by any means. My stuff is real simple, and I reuse a lot of code…

no prob.

ask again should you get stuck.

sometimes controlling the movies can be a little tricky, especially when you have multiple MC’s inside that movie.

on (press) {
loadMovieNum(“steam2.swf”, 1);
}

how do i unload then?should i write after this:

on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(1);
}

this is fun, i like this:P

yup, that is about it…

I think…

then to control a MC on that level:

on (release) {
_root._level01.MyMovieClip.gotoAndPlay(25)
}
