I’m sure there is a pretty easy answer to my question so I am hoping someone will be able to help me out.
I have approximately five external movies I am loading into one main movie. I load the movies using various buttons in the main movie.
My issue is this…
I press a button and the first movie loads and then runs to the end of the timeline. Works great.
When a push a second button the second movie loads and runs to the end of the timeline. Works great also.
But I hate how there is a blank space between the movies.
All the movies start with a white stage and end with full graphics. When I press a second button, the movie on the stage disappears immediately and I am left with a white stage for a few seconds while the loading movie animates onto the stage.
I want there to be a cross-fade or some effect that allows the loaded movie to remain on the stage while the second movie is loading. Is there a way to make this happen?
I’m including the code I have for loading movies so you can see what I am working with thus far.
Here is the code:
designingbutton.onPress=function(){
loadMovie (“Quest Wall Animation.swf”, “_root.content”);
}
specifyingbutton.onPress=function(){
loadMovie (“Directions Wall Animation.swf”, “_root.content”);
}
installingbutton.onPress=function(){
loadMovie (“Tonga Wall Animation.swf”, “_root.content”);
}
ownershipbutton.onPress=function(){
loadMovie (“Spin Wall Animation.swf”, “_root.content”);
}
mediabutton.onPress=function(){
loadMovie (“Silhouette Wall Animation.swf”, “_root.content”);
}
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
