Loading and unloading

[jeffcravener]

ok...the first site I did, i was told it was too big and I should make each scene a different SWF file...

so, here is what I have after the intro is done:

stop();
if (nextmovie == 0){
_root.loadMovie("Site2about.html", _self);
_root.unloadMovie();
}

It does unload the current SWF but it doesn't load the about movie. I am not getting any errors....any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jeff

um loadMovie is not designed to load html pages

you should use geturl or change the action to something like

loadMovieNum("Site2about.swf", 0);

ahhhhhhhhhh...THANK YOU...works PERFECTLY....

almost...haha..

it does load the movie, so thats cool...but...once that movie gets to a certain point, i want the main movie to go to it's next frame and play a sequence of frames..

I had this:
on, say, frame 10 of the loaded movie i had this:
_level1.nextframe();

but its not working...any ideas?

is the main movie level1?

have a read of this - http://www.tableau.com.au/tutorials/load_movie_tute/index.html

link...thank you....

I have gone to the next level...but another problem arose...and it even mentions it in there....but one of the MCs that are inside the main movie is 'behind' the loaded movie...

I read what it says about swapping and i can't get it to work...

here's what I have tried:

on a keyframe in the main movie:
dance_mc1.swapDepths(_level10);
dance_mc1.swapDepths(level10);
dance_mc1.swapDepths(10);
_root.dance_mc1.swapDepths(_level10);
_root.dance_mc1.swapDepths(level10);
_root.dance_mc1.swapDepths(10);

none of these worked...sigh...sorry to keep bothering you guys...

nah you cant use swapDepths to swap levels

you will need to put the mc you want on top into and another swf and load it into a higher level

cheers
