I have a bit of a problem. I have an externally loaded map, with buttons on this.
However I cannot figure out the path for the actions.
I am sure a different path would be required, due to the movie being externally loaded, as it does not send retrieve the text from the xml file and place it inside my text area any longer.
IS an externally loaded swf path different, I mean I have used what looks totally right below:
_root.movieTemplate.emptyMC[button].onPress = function () {
The externally loaded movie clip is in a mc with an instance of movieTemplate. Then I have placed an empty movie clip there named with an instance of emptyMC, so what the hell am I doing wrong.
You see when you click on a main postal sector, it actions the following code:
on (press) {
_global.postcodeArea=2;
_root.movieTemplate.emptyMC.loadMovie(“cw.swf”);
setupNewMap();
}
which maps postalcodeArea 2 from the xml array.
I have tried adding a postal button on the map, which was not external, I clicked the first button to apply the on press, which assigns the area of 2, and then clicking on a button named cw1,cw2,cw3,cw4 and so on, data is sent to the text area fine.
So this is definately a linkage, path problem
Please help me solve this day after day puzzle
