Some complications with flash tutorial: Transitions between swfs

my bro raised this up to me just awhile ago…he was pulling his hair out wondering why it said that the code was invalid. well i managed to figure it out in awhile:

step vi of the Main Movie instructions -
If you want the first section to load automatically when entering the site, place this code at the frame of the main timeline at which you want the first section to show, and replace your_first_section_name by the name of the first section:
_root.currMovie = “your_first_section_name”;
container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");

for the code, apparently

_root.currMovie = “home”;

it’s diff from

_root.currMovie = “home”;

and as a result, pasting directly (which is the first case) is not a valid script.
just thought i’d let some people know.

Yes, quite some people have reported this before, and it’s indeed a problem with the quotes. I don’t know exactly why, but I guess it’s some American quote thingy. I’ll ask Kirupa to change the remaining italic quotes to straight ones, thanks :slight_smile:

Yeah, I was having the same problem. Just change the quotes so that the code appears in blue…

Now, would someone be so kind as to answer my question I posted? Its the second time I’ve asked it because last time nobody responded…

Thanks in advance!
