[FONT=Courier New]Heey all,
If got a llittle problem with a application that I am working on.
I use flash pro 8 to build a 3d tour simulation. The application will contain 20 separate .swf files.
But in order to reduce load time I want to load the swf files hidden and when I need them I want them to show them again.
And it also needs to work in reverse.
At the moment I’m using the following code to load it:
mc\_pres.loadMovieNum(“present.swf”, 3);
opnieuw.onRelease = function() {
unloadMovieNum(3);
};
Can somebody help me out?
many thnx
grTz

yeah that’s the same problem as me,
but what is now the best solution?
load in a array?
all in one movieclip?
maybe someone got code examples or something how it works because i’am not really a pro in it.

You could take apart the flash file that Stringy referred you to:
