i did the preloader/transition tut. in this site… it works great… but one thing i noticed that i the transition during the closing part is still showing the previous .swf file… and i dont want the previous .swf file to show while the transition is closing…
does anyone know how to make this happen?
if i didnt explain it very well, you can take a look at what i mean by going here…

i dont have a preloader for the main.swf so please be patient when the screen turns white… it will turn black and have a bar scroll across the screen when its loaded…
thanks

It doesn’t matter when you posted it, next time use the edit button.
It keeps the thread clean and uncluttered so others can have an easier time going through it.

i did this tutorial… and you see how the previous swf file is still showing while the closing part of the transition is coming down…
i dont want that… i would like tohave the previous swf file disappear when the transition phase starts… :nerd:

hhmmmm i dont know but maybe you will make 3 or how many movies do you have and make so much frames
and the code it like it for example
b1.onRelease = function() {
if (\_root.section != “profile.swf”) {
gotoandstop(1);
\_root.section = “profile.swf”;
\_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“closing”);
}
};
b2.onRelease = function() {
if (\_root.section != “gallery.swf”) {
gotoandstop(2);
\_root.section = “gallery.swf”;
\_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“closing”);
}
};
b3.onRelease = function() {
if (\_root.section != “photos.swf”) {
gotoandstop(3);
\_root.section = “photos.swf”;
\_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“closing”);
}
};
and so on this allways helps so what happens the 1 button mvoes to exact movie and when pushing next button it moves to the next free frame and loads the movie there;)

in your transitionmc make a keyframe in the actionlayer on frame 2.
in this frame you put:
[AS]\_root.content.\_visible = false;[/AS]
then the previous swf is invisible while closing
(you’ll have your reasons for wanting this so, i don’t like it that much :h: )

of course that’d make your 1st content just blip-out instead of transition out … meThinks you may want to go with an animated mask that \_yscales to zero% / down for closing and expands back out to 100% for opening
ps:edit:: that’ll also save you from having to tween in your incoming content
