maybe this will help,
I have the same method as you ,
but on the last frame on the main swf (which holds all buttons background, and opening animation) there is this code
stop();
thumbclip = “”;
loadMovie(“home.swf”, “_root.content”);
loadMovieNum(“song3.swf”, 6);
so its loading a external into the target “content” as a frame action. then later will be replaced when you click on a button, as the buttons have this code.
on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(7);
nextMovie2 = “profile2.swf”;
thumbSWFclip = “1”;
if (thumbclip == “”) {
thumbclip = “1”;
cover.gotoAndPlay(“close”);
} else {
thumbclip = “1”;
}
}
this is for profile ,
so when this is clicked it goes into the _root.cover which you called _root.thumbcover
and plays the animation (same as your method in here, though change of
loadMovie(_root.nextMovie2, _root.content);
then in the external i have 3 actions , the preloader info that uses the _root.cover.preloader and the
go to and then the
thumbSWFclip = “1”;
_root.thumbclip = “1”;
then at the end of the external swf.
stop();
_root.thumbclip = “”;
if (_root.thumbSWFclip ne “1”) {
_root.cover.gotoAndPlay(“close”);
_root.thumbclip = “6”;
} else {
gotoAndStop;
}
this is pretty much the same for all the rest of the externals
thats basically it.
thanx for even considering helping, i appreciate it
