i want to setup my portfolio so I don’t have to create separate scenes. So basically, I wan to have several buttons, if you click one it loads an external SWF, if you click the next it “unloads?” the first swf and loads the next one… I know how to load external swf’s but is there anyway to unload it and load the next ? thanks in advance.
[quote=lunatic;1787538]You know that if you are using an empty movieclip to load external swfs into then you don’t have to unload before loading a new one in right? If you load a 2nd external into a container clip it will replace whatever was there before.
If you are loading externals into different levels then yes you’ll have to unload to remove the previous swf.[/quote]
Can you show me an example. I’m having this issue mostly because of my lack of action scripting skillz. Im trying to do this in as3…
Here is what I have so far… and as you can see the swf loads on top of the last loaded swf but leaving the first one there.
//
function homeButton(myevent:MouseEvent):void{
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(“zzz.swf”);
var myloader:Loader=new Loader();
myloader.unload();
myloader.load(myrequest);
stage.addChild(myloader);
myloader.x=420;
myloader.y=250;
}
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homeButton);
//
//
function printButton(myevent:MouseEvent):void{
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(“xxx.swf”);
var myloader:Loader=new Loader();
myloader.unload();
myloader.load(myrequest);
stage.addChild(myloader);
myloader.x=420;
myloader.y=250;
}
print_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, printButton);
//
