Hello Guru

How do you call a movie clip from another project.?
and is there a way to copy a scene from another project?

Thanks

what do you mean 'call'? Have you got two projectors running simulatenously and you want to effect one using the other? If so, I think it's impossible. You can loadmovie or use fscommand and exec to launch another projector, but that's about the extent of my projector interaction knowledge.

Hello Jesse the Guru

I'm doing a one presentation. It has 3 sections and a intro loop. Each section is done by each member. I'm doing the looping intro and the navigation interface.

Now I have the intro movie and the navigation finish. I'm trying to put the other 3 sections that are done by other member into my piece. So you see, it really a 4 flash file.
1. intro movie with Navagation bar to each section
2. section A
3. section B
4. section C

So here is what i did.. In 1.(intro movie) i use command LoadMovie to load 2.(sectionA) it work.. but once in 2. I can't seem to get back to 1. correctly. Plus while in 2. it need to be able to go to 3. and 4.and back to 1.

If I can't use Loadmovie command .. then I would have to copy each .fla file(section A,B,C) and put it in my .fla file, then break it into 4 scene.. This way.. It might be easier to control and easy set the navigation bar.

Do you find any way that will make my life a little easier?
Your help is deeply appreciated..

what is the loadMovie code you are using? if you can't get back to the first movie you've probably loaded the 2nd incorrectly...
