Loadmovie unloadmovie loadmovieNum unloadmovieNum

1

i have two buttons “A” and “B”… “A” loads a simple mc with the …

on (release) {
_root.container.loadMovie(“xxxxx.swf”);
}

“B” loads a mc that has a easing pic show in it which i load with…

on (release) {
loadMovieNum(“xxxxxx”, 2);
}

the reason i dont use the same load script for both is the first script doesn’t allow the easing to work… if anyone knows why please let me know :thumb:

now to unload the space taken up by the mc “B” loaded, on button “A” i unload the mc using…

on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(2);
}

but this is where things dont work… i thought for button “B” to unload the mc “A” loaded all i would need to do would be to use the…

on (release) {
unloadMovie(“container”)
}

but i doesn’t work… anyone know why?

anyone know why you cant load a mc containing easing fx with
on (release) {
_root.container.loadMovie(“xxxxx.swf”);
}
???

anyone know any alternatives…

p.s im a self tought novice :thumb:

Best advice I can give you is to go through Voetsjoeba’s tutorial here at Kirupa:

No reason why loadMovie takes your effects away.

Do the paths in xxxx.swf have _root in them?

not to sure what yer asking scotty but i think the answer is no …haha…

Something like: _root.gotoAndPlay();

Can you post your fla’s?

ok this isn’t the actuall fla but its got the buttons in question on it…

basically these buttons are loaded into a mc on a base swf. then the buttons are ment to load external swf’s into a different movieclip on the same base swf… im basically using the lessons learnt in the build a simple flash site tutorial but expanding (wether or not im doing it correctly is another matter)…

it works though if i stick to the “loadmovie” script instead of try to work with both the “loadmovieNum” and “loadmovie” scripts… hope im making sense ha

Hmm, can’t do much with that fla alone…
There’s no container mc in it, but that will be because it’s not the original fla.
To help you further I need the fla’s you want to load as well.
