help needed to load a flash file from another flash file

brfc1883 Jul 19, 2006 7:33 AM

This is a two part question - but I am sure that answering one will solve the other.

I have a menu.swf file, and if I click on the top button it should load module1.swf. (Which it does) - however I can see the menu.swf file underneath the module1.swf file.

The second part of the problem is that when I click on the top button of menu.swf, I want it to goto a specific location within module1.swf ( say the 8th page )

If I use loadmovienum ("module1.swf",0) it opens a new window - instead of replacing menu.swf

any ideas

Use loadMovie() or loadClip (with the MovieClipLoader class) depending on how much you want to know about/control the load. With these you can specify a target movieClip for the load.

Not sure what you mean by 'location'. If you're talking frames, you can use the load's target movieclip as a reference to the swf and use gotoAndPlay - but you have to make sure the swf is loaded first.

Thanks for that I will give it a try.

What I mean by location,

Within my menu I have two sections that are covered by module1.swf.

If I click on the first button, I need it to go to the start of section 1 ( which is on the 9th frame)
the second button needs to go to the start of section 2 ( witch is on frame 18 )
