I am using the code from the Transitions Between External SWFs tutorial that is featured on Kirupa. I have a Green_main.swf that contains the main navigation buttons, a Main.swf (home page), a Company.swf, a Places.swf, and an Inquiry.swf. All the external swfs are working great except one, which is the Places.swf. The reason is because the Places.swf contains stop actions. This swf is not stationary like the rest of them, I have an navigation mc with buttons with the following actions:
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndStop(“chap_farms”);
}
I have labels set up across the timeline, ex. “chap_farms”, “chap_woods”, etc. Once this swf is loaded into the Green_main.swf, these buttons move to the specified label great, and stop where I specify. The problem is that once they stop anywhere before the “midframe” area, I can’t get the buttons on the Green_main.swf to work, or the “out” transition for Places.swf to work. I took out all the stops in the Places.swf and when it got to the stop before “midframe”, the transition effect worked. But when I do that I have no control over the timeline in the Places.swf.
Can anyone tell me how I can have the best of both worlds, i.e. the ablility to load an external swf that can move around the timeline as well and transition out?
Let me know if you have any questions.
