Wouldn’t it be easier just to make your buttons, then put an empty movieClip on the stage and put this action on the button?


on(release){
_root.movieClipName.loadMovie("file.swf");
}
//then on the other button
on(release){
_root.movieClipName.loadMovie("otherfile.swf");
}

movies will automatically unload themselves when another is loaded in…

Yes Freddy, that would indeed be easier, but he asked from the library … Though robbie, Freddy is right, it would be better to load them externally, especially for your filesize.

Here’s another way to do it. On the main timeline …
[AS]
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“holder”,1);
//creates an empty movieclip on the main timeline
holder.loadMovie(“file1.swf”);
//loads the initial file
mc = 1;
//sets a var to check the current mc
button1.onRelease = function(){
if(mc==2) {
holder.loadMovie(“file1.swf”)
mc=1;
}
}
button2.onRelease = function(){
if(mc==1){
holder.loadMovie(“file2.swf”)
mc=2;
}
}
[/AS]

11

Ahhh…I didn’t see the library thing, my bad…

I got your PM and I don’t mind, however, you never said which way you want to do. Did you want to load from the library, or externally? Because if you want to load the pics externally, you won’t have to send anybody anything. There’s a tut here on how to do it and about a thousand threads to show you how - it’s fairly simple.

Voetsjoeba? What’s going on with your footer? Server down? My SQL’s down too. :m:

Realises Yes ! I knew it was down but I didn’t think of my footer since I browse these forums with signatures off. Thanks for reminding me =)
