This is my final project for a multimedia class I have, a link of which is here
http://mmproduction.blogspot.com/2009/11/final-project-nytimes-food-issue.html
Basically, I have a movie clip instance (loader_mc). I have the buttons loading external swfs with this code:
stop();
total_photos = 20;
function get_photo(newnumber){
current_photo = “do” + newnumber + “.swf”;
loader_mc.loadMovie(current_photo);
}
Next button:
on(release){
if (n < total_photos){
n++;
} else {
n = 1;
}
get_photo(n);
}
Previous button:
on(release){
if (n>1){
n–;
} else {
n = total_photos;
}
get_photo(n);
}
I want the number buttons to load the swf - to give users better usability. So this is the code I have for each button:
on(release)
{
loadMovie(“do1.swf”,“loader_mc”);
}
But when I run my main swf- the content of the external swf loads outside of the area I want the content to be - because in the external swfs i positioned stuff off the stage - how can i hide the content I don’t want seen?
