Hello,
I am a Flash MX user and am having some difficulty assigning events to a particular button.
Here goes:
I am working with:
Parent Movie
-A Single scene
-An instance of a movieclip control on its own layer (movie_01)
Child Movie (services.swf)
-A single scene
-An instance of a movieclip control on its own layer
-3 Text Box controls all on the same layer
-Several button controls on same layer. All are an instance of
a button in my library. All have unique instance names.
I want to:
-Select a button in a child .swf (services.swf) and have it call the parent movieclip control(movie_01)
it is currently loaded in which will command the parent movieclip to unload the movie
where I originally selected the button and load the .swf reference
that I pass to it. (service_01.swf)
I attempt to:
-Select a button instance in the child movie and hit F9 to launch ActionScript.
-Enter the following code:
unloadMovie("_parent.movie_01");
loadMovie(“service_01.swf”,_parent.movie_01);
-Launch parent movie to test it and load services.swf
-Click on the button in services.swf and nothing happens.
I even tried using something simple like
“getURL(”<A href=“http://www.yahoo.com”,_self">http://www.yahoo.com",_self);"
Any ideas??
This has me totally stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
James Davis
