hey guys,
i’m a newbie in flash mx, i made a menu composed of some buttons (like menu, members, gallery, etc…). each button have a separate movie when you click it. below is the AS i have used:
on (release) {
\_root.gallery\_contents.loadmovie
(“gallery-menu.swf”)
}
this AS works fine and as a newbie it was really fantastic to know something like that. Now, this is the problem, when i click another button such as members, the movie of members loads but still the movie of gallery still there. what AS i can still add on the above mentioned AS so that my menu will work fine?
I will attach the files that I have created so you can check it out and you can probably help me.
thanks a lot
mrloo

You could load everything in the same movie clip. That way, the new content will erase the old one 🙂

Hi,
It looks like you’ve got a “contents” Mc for each of the sections
i.e.:
> \_root.gallery\_contents.loadmovie
> .
You want to use just one for all the sections so when you load a mc onto it replaces any other one loaded previously.

Ilyas, you said "You could load everything in the same movie clip. That way, the new content will erase the old one"
that i know how to do that, but i would to do is for each button, i will have a separate instance so when it loads the mc, it will load beneath the buttons.

Does that mean you want the loaded sections always loaded under the buttons? If so, Put all the buttons in a MC and attach the MC from the library in a higher level number, then load the sections in a lower level number.

yes i’d like to load it under the button(ex. under members, the external swf will load undr the member menu.) I have attached part of the files which i have used. and i am new in flash, can you do it for me so I’ll know what to do.
sorry for the troubles, you know i’m just starting with Flash.
thanks:)
