I have a movie and when I click on the button it loads a new movie .swf onto the main timeline on level 1 - that’s good, my problem is…
I want to click on the button of the movie just loaded, unload the movie (thats fine), and then make it go to a frame number or lable of the main time line and play on load …
Is this possible…
Thanks Andy

I’m sure people will answer. 🙂
I’ll have a look at it myself, in fact. Quick query though. Which movie are you unloading on the button click?

Kit
Its the second one … not sure if I am explaining it very well
I have one the main timeline runing which has a button.
I click on it which loads a movie .swf file that movie runs and also has a button … when you click the button of this loaded movie I want it to unload the movie from the level which is one and move to a frame number 65 and play from there…
does this help… Cheers Andy

OK, with you now. 🙂
So when you unload that second movie, whereabouts does the original return to? The same place you left off?
If that’s the case, then you could use a flag of some kind, to determine whether or not the second movie has been unloaded, and if that’s true, gotoAndPlay frame 65…

Kit … yes the same place is the location it returns to…

Flag… Just another term for a variable. 🙂
This one, you set it in your original movie to be 0 to start with, so like: [AS]movieflag = 0;[/AS] Now, the code for the button should have your loadMovie statement inside, as well as this: [AS]on (release) {
movieflag = 1;
loadMovieNum(“yourMovie”, 1);
} [/AS] Then the new movie will load, play and close. When it closes and returns to the original, you’ll need to test for the contents of the movieflag. So Just add a conditional if statement to check it inside and onEnterFrame() event handler.
