How is this done? :Levels?

1

I’m currently working on a newsite (in FLash) and i need to know besides levels, what other way would i be able to load 2-3 External .swf’s side by side on the same movie background meaning…site opens, main movie loads, with navigation, and two other movies (loaded externally) are loaded on the stage, and also be able to load movies side by side on the stage when i click on a button.

Here’s some example sites that im refering to: http://www.void.pt/void.php?lng=en

so as soon as the page loads, the two bottom sections load, and the movie right about that loads aswell…?

I hope i’m clear…i really need the help!!!

Thank You

ANYONE! atleast tell me where to go look for it, cause im not sure how’s it’s supposed to be done!! with levels i can’t get that desired effect!!

I don’t understand what you’re having trouble with…

Just load the movieClips at different depths, and position as necessary.

Perhaps you could explain your inquiry a bit more…?

I think he wants to load the movieclips in a sequence say load the two at the bottom first before the main one on top loads. Is that right red_A. I want to do something like that also.

Why don’t you open them as movieclips by using attachMovie and setting the depth parameter with this.getNextHighestDepth.

If you need more info on this just let me/us know!

Exactly what gupps said!
If you check out the link i provided above, go to it, click on english or portugese, it should load some into sequence and the site opens up, do you see the three preloaders loading three different scenes at once??? the two bottom scenes and the one right about these two??? that’s what i wana do, how do you load an external movie into a section, box, empty_mc, whatever…but you can set the size of the movie you are going to load into…? i know im confusing it a little but all i wana be able to do is, load 3 external movie clips as soon as the page opens or upon the click of a button onto the stage anywhere i set them to load? can i do this and how???

red, just create 3 empty containers: container1,container2, container3, eg.and load the 3 external swf into each container. Make sure your external swfs are masked to the size so that the other information is not seen. you can either envoke the the containers and the x,y position with AS or just drop the containers in the main swf. thereare tutourials that about that.

I want to know how you can specify which swf to load first, second, third etc.

Hope that helps

Just create a listener that waits to see if the MC(s) is/are at their end and then triggers the next MC(s) to load.
