Howdy guys, i’ve been spending the last few hours looking around for a more coherent answer as to how i should be executing functions from a .swf loader
basically, each time i hit a letter key on my keyboard, i want a new .swf to load. All of the external .swfs are looped, which is working fine, but for me to get this one to do what it should, i need to press another key to get it to advance to the next frame and play. Since i’m operating it from a loader, i can’t get the function to call.
so here’s my loader function:
on (keyPress "e") {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
// Container's positions on stage
container._x = 0;
container._y = 0;
// Load external SWF
container.loadMovie("heads.swf");
}
pretty simple. so when “heads.swf” comes up, i want to let it loop on the stop(); of frame 2, and then eventually hit and have it advance to frame 3 and play on:
on (keyPress "<Enter>") {
nextFrame();
}
I’m really struggling with getting any further (i’m a n00b) so i’d love some help!
thanks guys,
-PT
