First, I’d just like to begin by thanking everyone that has helped me in the past. I really appreciate all of the love!
Now onto business:
I am designing a site for someone and I have decided to create a full Flash site. Now i know that when this is normally done, one loads external .swf’s into the main .swf thru the use of MC. Well, I decided that since my external .swf’s would be rather large, that I should use the ScrollPane component so that I would be able to show the whole .swf; I attached this code to my “bio” button and then uploaded both .swf’s onto my server to test it.
on(release){
_root.contentScrollPane.contentMC.loadMovie("bio.swf")
};
When i went to test it, nothing happened. Can someone please assist me and show me what I’m doing wrong? Again, I’m usual that it is something really simple that I am missing. You can go to
<a href="http://www.vipertechdesigns.com/download_files.html">HERE</a>
to download both my main .swf(index_v2.fla) and and the .swf that I am trying to load into the main movie(bio.swf) for review. The bio.swf is included purely as the test component for trying to load the movie. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT I AM USING FLASH MX ON A G4 iMac. Any help would be appreciated!!!
Navigating index_v2.fla
Open the file in Flash, then click on the folder layer named “interface”. Scroll down in the timeline slightly til you come to “bannerMC” layer. Click the lock to unlock the layer. Click on the first keyframe for the “bannerMC” to appear on the Stage. Right click on the MC and choose “edit in place” from the menu. Click on the “navbarMC” layer and unlock it. Click on the first keyframe to make the MC appear on the Stage.
Right click on the MC and choose “edit in place”. From there you can access the individual buttons for the bar. Each button is on its on layer. The button in question is the “bio” button. If you right click on that button and choose actions, you will see the code that I mentioned earlier.
