Question
Loading an external .swf then referencing to it's label
I'm new with Actionscript and am currently working at
building a website. I've got a lot figured out so far but one
problem I'm running into is when I try to load an external .swf
using the loader component and then reference it or try to point to
it within my main .swf I can only load the "gallery.swf." through
myLoader.contentPath = "gallery.swf";
I'm trying to load it and then point to a specific label so it loads that frame or label. I've created separate labels for each image in my gallery so that when I point to them with AS, it knows which image to load. It worked when I had the gallery in the main .swf but when I used the loader component it didn't work.
The AS I used that worked before I made a separate .swf and used a loader was:
on(release) {
_parent._parent._parent.photos_MC.gotoAndPlay("img1");
}
what I thought would work was:
on(release){
_parent._parent._parent.myLoader.contentPath = gallery.swf.photos_MC.gotoAndPlay("img1");
}
I'm probably totally off, but if anyone could help out I would appreciate it!
