I have created a swf file that I use just as a container.
This swf just has navigation buttons and an empty mc, called holder_mc.
Each Nav button has the below code but obviously loading in a different external swf into the same holder_mc
menu_mc.story_btn.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie(“twoMatesStory.swf”, “holder_mc”);
}
Every swf has it’s own small preloader. So obviously every time loadMovie executes the previous swf is cleared from holder_mc and is replaced by the new swf and you see the next preloader and then the swf content.
I want to keep the loaded SWF in holder_mc viewable until the next requested swf is ready to view. I’ve seen many Flash sites that do this, but I haven’t got a clue how it’s done.
Please help,
Cheers,
Dave
