Container // External .swf help

programming flash
1

Please can a flash expert help me with this.

I have started creating a flash site which consists on a main movie which load other movies into a container.

I have made the first 2 buttons active:

  1. EVENTS - when clicked this opens the events.swf into the container movie clip.

  2. BAR - when clicked this opens the bar.swf into the container movie clip.

These buttons work fine when first clicked, however when i go to press the buttons for a second time, they refuse to open the .swf’s again?

Please can someone help … i am starting to panic.

The URL is http://www.barretro.com/new/indexflash.htm

I can supply the main.fla is needed.

I think i’ve found the problem:
you have actions on your buttons and a onPressfunction. it seems like the buttonactions override the onPressfunction.
I have skipped the onPress function (in layer 13 of the menusys) and put it in the button:
[AS]on (release) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
on (press) {
if (_root.section != “events.swf”) {
_root.section = “events.swf”;
//trace(“events.swf”);
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“closing”);
_parent.submenu.gotoAndPlay(“events”);
_parent.buttonEnable();
}
}[/AS]

hope this will help you:}
