Flash 8 Pro/AS 2.0
I’m working on my website below. I’m not a brilliant Actionscript genius yet, far to go. Looking for Tutorial on how to load external movies, while controlling the loaded movies from action with in the _root movie.
Goal: have the nav buttons load in the pages (separate created swf movies) into a Host movie container. While each swf movie has a transition playing out from it’s stop point to animate the page swiping off, I give the buttons this AS:
//play out loaded movie
on(release) {
_root.myHost.gotoAndPlay(“Playout”);
//load linked movie
_root.content_mc.loadMovie(“Home.swf”);
}
“Playout” is a label in each movie, because each movie is not the same frame length, I can’t use a frame number.
This works for the “HOME” nav button, but, I’m not getting it to work for other buttons, when I use the loadMovie(“Film.swf”) for example.
I would like to find a simple tutorial on this subject. I’m so eager to learn AS and yet, I find mySelf overwhelmed due to beginner’s fatigue. Any recommendations for tutorials and Books is welcome. Just a great place to start, would be helpful. 
Anyone’s help is greatly appreciated.
