problems with movies on different levels

[sdjain]

Hi, I have this problem: I have a movie in the level 0, and I load a movie in another level, that works fine, but when I move the cursor over the new movie all the buttons that are in the first movie are still available, so I am trying to interact with this new movie and everything changes in the first one. (I try to explain it again: I move the cursor in the second movie and it works over a button in the first movie too, even when the second one is over the first one, it seems the second one is transparent)

I tryied to make the interaction calling a movie inside a target, but the problem remains.

I just dont know how to fix it.

Hi..
What you need to do is send the movie on level0 to a blank keyframe. Macromedia refers to this as 'Parking' your movie.
The following script loads a movie into level2 and also sends level0 to a blank frame:

on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("newMovie.swf", 1);
_level0.goToAndStop("blankFrame");
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks Marx, but I guess I haven't explained it well. My real problem is that I do need the level 0 visible, 'cause the new movie I load is a draggable popup window, which has a lot of interaction inside. I tried your script, and then I thought, what if I send the level 0 to a keyframe with all the movieclips converted as a graphic instance????

It could work.

Thank you again.

Hi Sebastian..

Your absolutely correct, the idea about going to a keyframe where the buttons are converted to graphics is exactly the right way to do it.

Good luck.
