greetings, i followed the tutorial by Voetsjoeba about Transitions between external swfs. i applied it to my own .fla and am having fair success. the problem i’m having is that the buttons work and transition correctly, but every button reloads the same external .swf. i can’t find whats keeping each button from loading its external file. if i switch the external file that loads first. then all buttons load that clip.
my main stage has an embedded movie clip called mc_opening. the container is on frame 25 until the end. an animation runs until frame 64 where this code is placed.
stop();
_root.currMovie = “home”;
container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");
this loads the home page right off.
also on this frame are all the buttons. there are 6 buttons total. each button launches a new external .swf to be loaded in the container. this is the code we’ll use the video btn.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = “video”;
container.loadMovie(“video.swf”);
} else if (_root.currMovie != “video”) {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = “video”;
container.play();
}
}
}
you press the video button and the home.swf slides away, but instead of the video.swf loading the home button slides in. the in the output monitor the code seems to be showing that it is working properly.
the code on say the video buttons external file is this
action 1 midframe=22
action 2 stop();
action 3 _root.container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf")
its close. someone help
