******loadMovie problem******

programming flash
1

I have a movie (page 1 in my website) wich contains buttons that, when clicked, will open a content file into my content movie clip (instance name=content). This is my code that I`m using:

button1.onRelease=function(){
loadMovie(“page1.swf”,"_root.content");
}

It works well when I preview it.

THEN I have my “main movie” which contains all of my links to my other .swfs (pages), also a link to page 1. When I preview it in a browser and click my "page 1 link", the page loads, but none of the buttons are working. They only show empty content movie clip (a grey box where my content should load but it wont).

Why aren`t my links working when I use them through my other .swf? :skull:

Try changing the _root.content for _parent_parent.content

I dont think I can explain it any simplyer (I have problems with my english) But Ill try… :hair:

I have a web page that contains dirrerent kind of links (profile, gallery… etc) and one of the links is called “photos”. The “photos” page includes more links (like color photos, b&W photos etc)

What I would like to accomplish, is that when an user goes to my “photos” page and then click ex. “color photos” link, my “color photos” content loads next to the link.

SO I have two different pages (swf`s) that are connected toegther through “Photos” link. The first page is called “main” and the second one “photos”. :smiley:

My “photos” page works well when it`s not viewed through my "main"page. when I click my “color photos” link, my content loads nicely into my content movie clip. Everything works well.
BUT
When I link my “main” and “photos” pages together and try my “color photos” link through my “main” page (first go to the main page, then to the “photos” page, then click the “color photos” link) My content is not loading into my content movie clip.

I think I should somehow use that _parent thingy in my code, but when i tried it it didnt work. (Im not sure thought whether I placed it in a right place… I`ve never used it before) :trout:

I think you should check the drop down menu tutorial.
Here is the link http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dropdownmenu.htm

Maybe it will help a little, since u want the sub itens on photos to load near the main photo link.

I am very bored so I made an example for you.
