I set up 5 buttons on the left of my main movie and with telltarget I have called 5 individual movies. However, it is not unloading the small individual movies when i go to another button. Help…:-\
are you unloading the movies in the levels you want to…that is on release?
if this makes no sense, send your .fla

no… I want the movie to play until i click on another button.
I have 5 buttons on the left.
on(rollover), the buttons play their movie within the button…
on(release), the button pressed plays a movie on the right.
I thought about using on(rollout), but I want the movie on the right to continue to play until another button is pressed. What I am using is something like this…
on(rollover) {
telltarget ("/HomePage"){
gotoandstop(1);
}
}
on(release) {
telltarget ("/HomePage"){
gotoandplay(2);
}
}
Frame 1 is empty
Frame 2 is the beginning of the movie
I want it to check to see if a movie is running, and if it is, stop it and start the movie associated with this button.
hope this helps…
If I follow your quandry…
You may want to goto and stop on both, sometimes the movie will simply start over again with frame #1 if you goto and play…
If you name the instances differently, then tell target to goto frame 1 and stop, on each of the other instances on release, then they should stop the movie on the right (if it is started) and start the movie you want to start…
hope this helps,
Rev
could you give me a syntax?
like…
on(release){
telltarget ("/HomePage"){
gotoandstop(1);
}
telltarget ("/Webhost"){
gotoandplay(2);
}
}
if that is right, then that makes perfect sense… and I am thinking tooooooo hard…
that looks right…
if you want, send me the .fla, and I will critique…

I usually make a separate tellTarget for each function:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget (“Homepage”) {
gotoAndStop (1);
}
}
on (release) {
tellTarget (“WebHost”) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}
making sure that you actually want to play on 2…
