Question
Need a pro's help please!
the site is www.darrenlasso.com
The way i have it set up is this- there is one main flash file that contains the intro as well as the transitions to the different categories. Once you get to an individual category page, a few selections to direct examples are available (they're rectangular buttons with thumbnail image). These examples are housed in separate files (trying to keep filesize of main file down). An example of the script i'm using for one of those buttons would be:
on(release){
loadMovieNum("holstedweb.swf", 1);
holstedbtn._visible = false
holstedwebbtn._visible = false
}
I believe my problem is that I'm always loading everything into level 1 when i loadmovienum... but when I tried giving every button a unique level, it doesnt work for me. Once the user goes into the holstedweb file, the code to get back to the main page is:
on(release){
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = {};
mcl.addListener(mclListener);
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip){
mc.gotoAndPlay(413);
}
mcl.loadClip("darnen.swf", 1);
}
If you navigate through the site you will notice the problem- in between transitions between files there is a pause where it will show you a frame or two from whatever clip is already loaded into level 1. Anyway, I'm trying to continue on with this site so I want to get this last big bug taken care of. The main problem may be the code I use to return to the main animation from the other branched files. I would LOVE help! I'm including a link to some of the files so you can check them out for yourself.
