Howdy folks! I just got done reading and experimenting with Kirupa’s tutorial on loading movies:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/loadmovie.htm
Very cool and fairly straightforward stuff, but I have an issue that the tut didn’t seem to address. Specifically I am working on a Flash presentation where there will be a image which changes depending on a variety of buttons you can press below it. Basically it is a photo gallery of sorts and clicking on the thumbnail buttons is supposed to load up the larger images (all in the same place, each one over the last). Sounds pretty straightforward, right?
I understand the whole concept of loading movies (in this case making each of the larger images it’s own .swf movies to load i when the corresponding button is pressed) - but my question is this - how do i specify exactly where the image will appear (eg. x and y coordinates?) and also, in terms of using levels, is there a way to put all the loading movies on the same level, but not have the image that is being replaced by a newly loading image disappear before the new movie is loaded?
Does that make any sense? Hopefully I am not rambling too badly here. I’ve had a lot of tea this morning. :bounce:
Many thanks in advance if anyone can help me out with this, or point me to a tutorial that deals with these issues specifically!
