I am attempting to create a better navigational system for my web site. The main ‘page’ (swf) opens with an animation that ends revealing the main navigational buttons for the entire site. I have broken this page into five scenes which link to each other differently depending upon viewer interaction. This main swf seems to be working well.
I have put the rest of the content of the site into several other swf’s to divide up the load time. Otherwise I don’t think anyone with a modem connection would bother looking at my site. I have linked the main site to the other sites using the code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum(“swf.swf”, 0);
}
That’s working well - I can get to all of the other content swf’s OK.
The problem is getting back into the main site without starting from the first frame. I want to start at scene “elfNav” whose first frame is labeled “elfNav” but so far have only been able to return to the main swf by using the following code on a ‘back’ button in the content swf’s:
on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(0);
}
on (release) {
loadMovieNum(“elfstoneSite.swf”, 0);
}
How can I specify exactly where (which scene or which labeled frame) opens within “elfstoneSite.swf”? I have tried every variation I can think of and so far have only gotten error messages. I’m new to writing code and have hesitated to try anything with different levels for fear it would only add to my confusion.
Thanks,
Sue
