hey all, I am using Flash5 to build a site. I am using the LoadMovie action to load either movie 1 or 2, depending what navigation button is pushed. I have 8 nav buttons, the first 4 buttons use the 1st .swf, and the 2nd 4 buttons, use the 2nd .swf.
My question is how do I jump to a sub-section within the new movie which is loaded using the LoadMovie command? This is the action I am using on the nav buttons.
on (press) {
loadMovieNum (“movie1.swf”, 0);
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(“section1”);
}
or
on (press) {
loadMovieNum (“movie2.swf”, 0);
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(“section4”);
}
This works and both movies load properly, however, when I am in the 1st movie, and jump to the second movie using a nav button, the movie loads, but does not bring me to the proper sub-section. I find I have to push the nav button twice to get to the sub-section. The first time loads the movie2 and the second time I push the nav button, it brings me to the correct sub-section.
Does anyone know how to get around this and make the loadmovie and jump to sub-section with one button push?
thanks, dave.
