I have a quick question to see if I am missing something or just generally not coding it correctly.
Basically, I have a main movie clip on the time where I load external SWFs into.
I have one opening SWF titled “front_page.swf” that is loaded upon entry of the site.
Basically this animation stops at frame 24 as that is the “intro” section of the animation.
I have nav bars at the top that when clicked should cause “front_page.swf” to play starting at frame 25 until end. Consider this the “outro” animation.
Now, all that is well and good, but I want a NEW .swf to be loaded into the Movie Clip after “front_page.swf” is finished playing.
Here is some code that I attempted to make this happen, but has yet to work.
Frame 1 of “front_page.swf”:
_global.isplaying = 1;
then at the last Frame of “front_page.swf”:
_global.isplaying = 0;
Now, on the button in the main movie timeline where “front_page.swf” is loaded into:
//this is where i attempt to load the new .swf into the movie clip with the instance name of “main_page” after it reaches a point where the previous movie clip, “front_page.swf” has declared the variable as being 0.
on (release) {
_root.main_page.gotoAndPlay (“close”);
if (_global.isplaying = 0) {
loader.loadClip (“galleries/gallery.swf”, main_page);
}
}
Does anyone see a problem with how I am attempting this? Is there an easier way?
Clearly I am doing something incorrectly as it is not functioning.
It makes sense in my head but I think the Actionscript is processing it too fast or something.
I have also attempted to use the getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal commands in order to see when “front_page.swf” reaches the last frame… but that isn’t functioning correctly, either.
I spent probably 5 hours trying to figure this out last night and completely spent and at a loss on how to fix this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
