LoadMovie within two swf files- one as a controller

[Dulan1207]

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum. I need experts' help.

I'm trying to use LoadMovie function in a different way. I'm not even sure this is possible.

I have three swf files, named 01, 02 and 03. So I'm going to run 01 and 02 files same time by double clicking the files.( or as stand alone players) now what I want is, I want to click a button on 01swf file and load 03.swf file on to 02.swf file. So the 01.swf file works as a controller. Is this possible and if so how to do it?

Please help..

Regards

Dulan

Yes, it's possible. There is a thing called LocalConnection, the docs have example code:

LocalConnection - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference

It may seem overwhelming, so do a search for as3 LocalConnection tutorial to find some manageable guides. Here's one I just found:

Flashvalley - Flash tutorials - Communicating between SWFs with the localConnection class
