I’m doing a site for a band in which each of the sections (e.g., booking, shows, bio, etc…) has its own variation on a picture that sits right in the middle of the main nav/menu part of the movie. The idea is that a user will click on the button for ‘booking,’ for example, and the ‘booking’ picture will fade in OVER the main nav picture. Following that, when ‘shows’ is clicked, the ‘shows’ picture will fade in OVER the ‘booking’ picture (or whatever was there before it). Using loadMovie & putting all the sections on different levels only works when going up on the levels (i.e, level 4 loads over level 3, but level 2 does not load over level 4, etc.) Any thoughts out there? Is there a way to have set the Level = (current Level+1) or something? …to make the incoming loadMovie .swf always be on top of the one below it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks much! - Timmer<:}
That sounds exactly like what I want to do. But I must be screwing up the ActionScript, in that when I threw what you gave as an example into the movie, I got the whole “this ActionScript contains errors…” bit & thus couldn’t test it. Just curious, did you get that to work for you (or even try it?)? If so, I’d be most curious as to how your ActionScript looked (or even just a helpful hint would be grreat
Thanks for the reply. While I agree that using a target with loadMovie is preferable, it’s just not jivin’ in this situation. i.e., the incoming swf immediately replaces the swf already in the target, whereas I was hoping to have the incoming swf come in on top of/OVER the existing swf (I’ve got fade-ins at the start of each little swf, & was looking to have them fade in on top of each other, etc.).
If you’re there, click on Contact, watch the effect, then click on Booking & watch the effect. Then click on Contact again, & watch it get screwed up
Basically, booking.swf is on a higher level than contact.swf, so it comes in on top of it, but it doesn’t work the other way around.
