I am having some difficulty in making some centered popup windows in Flash. Here is what I have at the moment:
My flash website has one main swf file containing all of the buttons that will open other flash movies inside the main one. I followed the tutorial on 'Full Flash Site" - so my buttons open swf movies inside the main movie I have. One of the external movies that my main movie loads is a gallery with multiple thumbnails. I want each thumbnail to open a popup window but it isn’t working. Is this because the movie I am trying to add popup links to is *inside *another movie? How do I resolve this problem? Here is a link to the movie preview:
If you rollover the symbols above the star you will find ‘gallery’. Click it to see what I mean. If you load the gallery.swf file on its own, the popup works. But not when you load it the proper way.
The links are fine. As I said, it works when it loads the popup from the gallery.swf on its own, its when the main swf movie loads the gallery.swf movie into it that the popup stops working.
You can download the fla files from my website. I have uploaded them into zip format. The Main2.fla is the movie that loads the external movies. It is the gallery that needs to launch the windows from the thumbnail buttons. I eventually will need to have 40-50 buttons around my site that will launch popup windows so I need to know how to do that.
*misslight this has to do with the pathing issue. You should read up on senocular’s explaination about This./parent/root/ etc. you can try the _lockroot
