Calling one swf to replace another

[kdk]

I have a main.swf with 13 nav buttons. Each calls up a different swf via this code:

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("scene1.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

loader.load(req);
addChild(loader);

That works fine.

The problem is after each swf plays I need a back button to take you back to main.swf ("home" frame label). Anyone have AS3 code for this? Bless you!!

Make a button on your stage.

button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome, false, 0, true);//use weak references!

function goHome(evt:MouseEvent) : void {
//same code as loading you've got there, only going to main
}

[kdk]

It said "statement must appear within an on handler" in ref to this line:

button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome, false, 0, true);

And said "the class or interface 'mouse event' could not be loaded" in reference to this line:

function goHome(evt:MouseEvent) : void

I tried switching my settings to AS3 in case that was problem (my main is in AS3). And got this error:

WARNING: The component 'MediaPlayback' requires ActionScript 2.0.
WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.

Ahh, well, that's a big problem there. AS2 and AS3 don't play nicely together. Stick with one or the other.

As for the "could not be loaded" - did you import the events package?

[kdk]

I must not have because i have no idea what that means.

Is the code you gave me AS2 or 3? I can switch to either. The only code in the whole site is A) loading of external swf's, and B) This back button to take me back to main.swf.

Sorry I'm lame. I'm on lynda.com trying to learn...it's quite random teaching's though.

Remove loaded swf or stop all processes in it and hide it.
Result: you see main.swf

if you wish to use libraries, you must first import the files (at the top of the class/package/file). In this case, you wish to use the MouseEvent library, so you must import it. Ex. import flash.events.*;

Oh and all of my code is in as3.
