Up front I am willing to concede that I might have made this way too complicated but I am way into it and would like to see if I can make it work. Any help is appreciated.
One of my buttons on my main menu is attached programmatically to a movie clip in the library. (That part is fine.)
The movie clip it is attached to in turn holds a group of thumbnail buttons (movie clip buttons). Each of those then is supposed to load into different createEmptyMovieClips different external swfs.
I have tried a variety of approaches on the Actions layer on the main timeline, on the Actions layer within the movie clip that is accessed programmatically and on the buttons themselves.
The following is what I have tried (with one of the 7) and where I have tried it:
On the main time line I have this for the createEmptyMovieClip:
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“emptyGalvette_mc”, this.getNextHighestDepth());
emptyGalvette_mc._x = 238.6;
emptyGalvette_mc._y = 197.3;
On the main timeline I have this for the button that brings up the movie clip in the library:
btnWork_mc.onPress = function () {
btnWork_mc.attachMovie(“mcTheWork_mc” , “mWork”, this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
(mcTheWork_mc being the linkage identifier…as I said up top, this much all works…I only include it to give the full picture)
One of the seven movie clip buttons within mcTheWork_mc has an instance name of galvetteThumb_mc.
The external swf’s name is galvette.swf
So where do I try putting the code - and what would be the code - to allow me to connect the button galvetteThumb_mc (within the linked mcTheWork_mc) in order to load the external movie (galvette.swf) into the createEmptyMovieClip (emptyGalvette_mc)?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
