TRANSITION PROBLEMS (between external swfs)

programming flash
1

Ok everyone as we all know, I’m not a programmer, I am just trying to learn and better my skills, so I first and foremost appreciate your time and patience.

Ok what I’m trying to do is to use the transition tutorial provided on kirupa to have transitions happen between external .swf’s by using the midframe etc.

The button that is being used to load up the movie is in its own movieclip (nav.swf) that is loaded on the main movie (main.swf) - now on the main movie there is a empty movieclip called (sub_nav) that is supposed to load the movie that the nav calls, which it does, but the transitions that happen between the external movieclips doesn’t happen…

Does the “midframe” have to be on the exact mid frame of the timeline for the transition to work, or can you call any frame the midframe?

Here is the code for the button:

on (release) {
 if (_root._parent.currMovie == undefined) {
  _root._parent.currMovie = "interactive_nav";
  _parent.sub_nav.loadMovie("interactive_nav.swf");
 } else if (_root._parent.currMovie != "interactive_nav") {
  if (_parent.sub_nav._currentframe >= _parent.sub_nav.midframe) {
   _root._parent.currMovie = "interactive_nav";
   _parent.sub_nav.play();
  }
 }
}

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! :thumb:
