onLoad swf inside main swf

programming flash
1

My main swf (site.swf) contains a movie clip loader that loads a second swf “item_menu.swf”. Inside this second swf, I also have a movie clip loader “cityLoader_mc” that loads another swf “itemA1.swf” but the onLoad function only works for the button “A1_btn”. It does not work to load the swf by default. Please help !
Do I have to use something before onLoad since it’s not the root swf or something?

Here is the code

onLoad = function() {
	cityLoader_mc.loadMovie("itemA1.swf");
}
	
		
// Button actions
citySlider_mc.A1_btn.onRelease = function() {
	cityLoader_mc.loadMovie("itemA1.swf");
}


citySlider_mc.A2_btn.onRelease = function() {
	cityLoader_mc.loadMovie("itemA2.swf");
}

I am using flash CS3 with AS 2.0
I would like to keep it super basic because I picked up Action Script two weeks ago.

Thanks for your help!!!

this.onLoad ?

also you may have to call the function to make sure

Hey “randomagain” !
Thanks a lot for your answer, I just tried “this” (see below) but unfortunately it did not work. Would you have any other suggestions to load that swf by default as it is being loaded too?

this.onLoad = function() {
	cityLoader_mc.loadMovie("itemA1.swf");
}
	
		
// Button actions
citySlider_mc.A1_btn.onRelease = function() {
	cityLoader_mc.loadMovie("itemA1.swf");
}


citySlider_mc.A2_btn.onRelease = function() {
	cityLoader_mc.loadMovie("itemA2.swf");
}

Thanks.
