I’m currently trying to create a Flash based website using Loader Components and external swfs. The master swf file has a menu bar at the top with buttons that call up various external swfs in the appropriate Loader Component below. These links work fine. The problem is I want to sometimes have a button in one external swf that plays another swf at a different part of the timeline of my master swf. Can anyone tell me what the Actionscript should be for the button? My Master movie is called: index.swf The movie with the button is called: home.swf (Loader Component: home\_ldr, frame label: home) The movie I want to link to is called: about\_us.swf (Loader Component: about\_us\_ldr, frame label: about\_us) Here’s what I’m currently doing: Each loader component has its own Instance name and is set to: autoload: true, content path: (the appropriate .swf movie), scaleContent: False The timeline is divided into sections. Each has a ‘stop’ command in ‘Actions’. Each has a Frame Label title. To create the button command, I select the button, then go to ‘Behaviour’ - ‘Movie Clip’ - ‘Go to and stop at frame or label’. Where it says: ‘Choose the movie clip …’ I leave it on ‘this’ and I also leave ‘Relative’ selected. Where it says: ‘Enter the frame …’ I type in the Frame label title. Cheers Nick
