Hi,
I’ve only been using flash for a few days so forgive my probable lack of knowlwdge! I’ve ordered books but they havent arrived yet and im impatient to get things working!
I’ve started with building a web site and have a basic scene with three buttons to open a different movie clip within the scene. The movie clip which opens in the scene then has further buttons that I want to launch further movie clips within that movie clip.
Problem is the buttons dont work in the new movie clip. The new clip scene works ok on it’s own (when the buttons are pressed the movie loads) but not when loaded within another scene.
See :http://luminair.7host.com/luminair.html
click on home. That loads the movie clip (the home menu) click who… this should load the movie in the home menu clip but it doesnt work.
See :http://luminair.7host.com/home.html
this is the home menu on it own. Clicking ‘who’ will load the movie clip which does work.
Buttons in the main scene (home button) have the action :
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie(“home.swf”);
}
and buttons in the loaded movie clip (who button) have the action :
on (release) {
_root.homecontents.loadMovie(“homewho.swf”);
}
I named the movie clip in the main scene as contents and in the home scene as homecontents as when these were both called contents the homewho.swf loaded in the main scene clip.
Am I going about this the wrong way or is there a simple fix to this?
Many many thanks to anyone who can help or call me a stupid aged and tell me what im doing wrong.
Cheers,
J.
