Based on Kirupa Photogallery tutorial with the slide show alteration, I have adapted this great concept for my current web project.
-Currently I have a main movie 4 frames (2 preloader / 2 main timeline)
-A movie clip which is a tree style menu with main categories & subcategories etc.
-The first frame of the main is for into text, frame 2 is to load external movies.
The menu sub categories load slide shows (.swf files) that I have succesfully created using the tutorial.
I load them into level 1 , assuming that the main is level 0 and the appear properly at parent frame 4 which is frame 2 on the main timeline but they are being activated from a menu movie clip (silly but you guys have seen this before)
Ok, now the problem, When I use the slide show in an On Release situation where it can be activated as many times as you hit the button, it goes haywire and throws of the delay if you it is multiple times. or try to load a different slide show movie clip. What ever the last one playing was will be rapidly loading images, sometimes out of order, depending on how fast you pressed the button.
Here is an example of my button code which pulls the movie with the slide show from a different directory. Unloading the movie doesn’t seem to work:
////////////////////
on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(1);
_parent.gotoAndStop(4);
loadMovie("sld/brindle.swf",1);
}
////////////////////
any help is greatly appreciated. I would really like to use this code in a multiple instance scenario.
