Hi, I have this basic breakdown of the layout I want to do.
Basically, there will be there links and 3 external movies to be dynamically placed within this one main movie.
I’ve attached a diagram to better show what I’m trying to do.
- first movie loads the moment it enters the site
- second and third movies are loaded based on the button clicked
I’ve found and done tutorial on kirupa which shows me how to load an external swf file into a movie clip.
What I’d like to know is…
Looking at the diagram, I want animation in between movies once button is clicked, and as shown, the external movies are not all placed in the same location either. It’s kind of like a pull out tab.
basically I want:
button clicked - animation transition - external movie loaded
Could I simply do this by having the button lead to another frame that will have the transition animation which leads to the frame that will load the external movie?
IF so, my question now is, what happens when I click on the other buttons that will hide the existing movie, how can I unload the movie so it’s not taking up space in what’s loaded and not just hidden from the visitor’s view?
Sorry if I"ve confused anyone, please do ask me to clear things up.
