Loading multiple movies

programming flash
1

Here’s the situation:
I want to load multiple movies. I have 5 thumbnails. When you click on one of the thumbnails it loads a movie. When you click on another thumbnail, it unloads the movie previously loaded and loads the new movie. That’s pretty much it. It sounds so easy, but I’m hitting a tough spot trying to figure it out. Can anybody PLEASE help me?

if you want to load and unload each swf in the same movieclip …
just use loadMovie(). the previous movie will be replaced with the new one


thumbnail1.onRelease = function() {
	movieclipContainerInstanceName.loadMovie("thumbnail1.swf");
}
thumbnail2.onRelease = function() {
	movieclipContainerInstanceName.loadMovie("thumbnail2.swf");
}
// and so on ..

if you want to have some transition between each swf …
i guess the easiest way would be using callbacks
