Hiding a load clip.

Report · Apr 27, 2012

Hi to everyone, i'm working in a flash proyect using this action for each button/city (it's a map).

btn_monteria.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, montpress)
function montpress(Event:MouseEvent){
    //Crear una variable cargador para mostar el swf
    newMedia = new Loader;
    //Crear una variable para un clip vacio (anteriormente host)
    cont = new Sprite;
    //ruta para cargar la pelicula
    newMedia.load(new URLRequest("mapa_monteria.swf"));
    //mostar el boton cerrar
    btn_cerrar.visible = true;
    //Posicion x que va a tener el host
    cont.x = 10;
    cont.y = 120;
    stage.addChild(cont);
    stage.addChild(btn_cerrar);
    cont.addChild(newMedia);
}

and in the top of the actions have this code to load the swf

stop();
btn_cerrar.visible = false;
//Listener para cada una de las variables
//Creacion de la variable cargador
var newMedia:Loader;
var cont:Sprite;
//Listener y funciones para boton cerrar, asi como la visibilidad
btn_cerrar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cerrar)
function cerrar(Event:MouseEvent){
    btn_cerrar.visible = false;
    cont.removeChild(newMedia);
    newMedia.unload();
    newMedia = null;
}

As you can see works fine, but there is a little problem, if you press one city and then other city (with out pressing the close button) it doesn't hide the first city.

It is a way for each time that press a button the other ones keep hiding????

You can see it here

Thanks ...

you need to call cerrar() at the start of all your press functions i.e.

montpress

cucpress

stapress

villpress

ctgpress

bogpress

calipress

bllpress

mllpress

dqpress

ibgpress and

tunjapress
