well i allocated the code in all the places you told me, but i get no response, did i put the values in the right spot? Here are my fla’s to give you an idea of the whole picture.

i think i only have one starnd of hair left on my head.

you loaded navigation into its own level. Thats all good and fine, though it realy doesnt need one… but that being the case, _root in your navigation is the _root of that navigation swf. And in that navigation swf you use:
_root.container.loadMovie(this.loadswf);
where there is no container clip… not to mention when browsing through the other swfs (brain and main) I didnt see a container in any of those either. SO, without a container clip, you’re getting no where :-\
if you put it in brain, use _level0.container, and if in main I think its _level5.container (since I think you loaded it in 5). Of course you could just as well keep it in navigation too. But yeah, you’re missing your container clip.
Also, I noticed you spelled six and seven out in the last swfs, but they are still 6.swf and 7.swf in the group of files you posted
yea i’m an idiot, i changed the number swfs lol okay so let me get this straight here. I basically added the code in all the right places i just forget to create a container in my brain.fla for the movies to load into correct?
if that’s the case then all i have to do is create the empty container the size of the swf’s in the brain FLA since that is primarily where all the transitions from one MC to the next will occur correct?

… if you put it in brain, use _level0.container…
ealier you mentioned that i don’t have to load into levels, will these ease any troubles as far as the slowdown i’m experiencing?
_level0.container;
this is what i’ll be pasting into my barin fla right?
another thing i notice is that when i preview my swf in IE it opens a 75% reduced window, and i don’t experience any slowdown whatsoever, but when i play it at 100% it slows down as the mask on main.swf starts to play. Is the complexity (if any) of the mask confusing my mac? if so why does the reduced version play so well? after all vector images shouldn’t be affected by scaling in any way, theoretically.
I:-)
levels, other movieclips, it really doesnt matter.
But the way you have it set up now. If you put a movieclip in the main timeline of your brain.swf and named it container, it will function as the place to load your movieclips. Then, in navigation, you would need to use _level0.container instead of _root.container for the loadMovie in the stopDrag (onRelease). This is because _level0 references the brain.swf while _root references the navigation swf.
i don’t freakin get it. I aplied the empty movie cip in brain, labeled the clip “container” and named the instance “container” then i added the code into the navigation. And yet i still get no results.
here’s my fla.
dont forget the main clip is loaded in level 5 OVER level 0 (the brain swf). Chances are it might be covering it up. You might want to put container in main instead and call it in navigation with _level5
i did that too, no luck
:hair:
I just did it in the first zip you posted
put a clip in main, named it “container”
then changed the scrip in navigation to
_level5.container.loadMovie(this.loadswf);
and it works fine
ok so now i got it, but there’s a new issue, i’m gonna have to set this in the brain and unload whatever i have in level5 because it does get covered up.
problem solving is fun lol
:hangover:
yup as suspected… I created the movie clip in brain and named it container, in nacigation i added UnloadMovieNum(5) to unload whatever is in level 5 and then i added _level5.container.loadMovie(this.loadswf); to load the numbered movies into level 0 and it works like a freakin charm.
Senocular you are officially clasified by me as THE MAN
thanx so much!
glad you finally got it 
that just brings me one step closer to completeion… my soul can now relax. BTW i was meaning to ask you, do you mind if i use the code behind your eye fla to create a signature swf for kirupa forums? i didn’t wanna use the code without you knowing then kill me when u saw it applied.
go for it
