Tutorial Problem? Flash MX Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files

1

I was trying to recreate the tutorial with the above title, and could not get my version to work correctly. If anyone has walked through this one and had the same problem, please let me know. I’m fairly new to actionscript, but I believe the problem is occuring with the reference to “_root.section,” and I can’t seem to find this “section” object in the original tutorial movie. But it loads in the initial swf, which shouldn’t work if this was the case. You can download the fla file from here.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Open your Nav buttons mc. Replace all “_parent” references for “_root”.
That should do the trick.

Thanks for the fast reply! I kept working with it and got the buttons to work properly by taking them out of the movie clip with no animation. But the moment I try to keep them sliding in from the left, it seems to stop the actionscript from functioning properly. I attached the new version here.

Thanks! Should’ve thought of splitting up the code. Guess that’s how ya learn though. Appreciate the good tutorial.
