Hello Everyone: :crazy:

I need help from all you masters of the universe. It seems that there is nothing that you guys can’t answer.

I am trying to create an ending of a scene. For example, I have two links in my menu on my site. We’ll call them “link 1” and “link 2”. When I click on “link 1”, using loadmovienum I load a movie unto my site, which glides in from the left. Now when I click on “link 2”, I would like for the movie to glide away and gliding in would be “link 2” movie.

I hope that I’ve explained well enough. Please help. I greatly need you guys.

Thank you.

Umm… Well…

When you first click on the one link… Or if you click on the second link for that matter. You will need a variable to hold a true or false statement…

This variable will say… Is there a window open right now? Cause if there is… You will need to clsoe that window before opening another…

Then… You’ll wnat to make 2 functions… glideIn and glideOut… These two functions will be placed when you want the certain movie to either glide in or glide out.

The simple gliding statement can be covered by a for loop…

```auto

for(i=5;i<=300;i+=5)
{
     this._x -= i;
}

```

That should handle the glide in… Just change the 300 to however long you want the window to glide in to… As for the glideout… Just change this.\_x -= i; to this.\_x += i;.

Now… Here is what the function should look like:

```php

// This should be placed in the main timeline

MovieClip.prototype.glideIn = function()
{
     for(i=5;i<=300;i+=5)
     {
          this._x -= i;
     }
     windowOpen = true;
     currentWindowOpened = this;
}
MovieClip.prototype.glideOut = function()
{
     for(i=5;i<=300;i+=5)
     {
          this._x += i;
     }
     windowOpen = false;
}

// These lines of code should be placed
// whereever you put the button code at

if(windowOpen == true)
{
     currentWindowOpened.glideOut();
     _root.window1.glideIn();
} else {
     _root.window1.glideIn();
}

```

Anyways… This should work out pretty good for you…

Take Care and Good Luck

:pirate: Hey Playa. Thanks for your response. I got the sliding of the windows in and out of the site down pretty well. But the thing that I’m kind of shady about is the outtro of a movie or movie when a new link is clicked.

I looked at a lot of different threads regarding this matter, but I need a little more clarification on it. If you can explain it to me a little more that’d be really cool.

For example:  
Shouldn’t there be an outtro for each external movie?

Please help. Cause you kow I’m still a PLAYA!!! Thanks bro.
