a little trouble with transitions and external clips
to ensure smooth loading the way i'm setting up site is by using empty clips as containers for sub menus and sections. the main menu is the main file and when selected a new menu appears somewhere else on the page. then when a selection is made the content is then loaded into another movie clip located on the page. For one section i want to experiment with transitions and external clips. i found a tutorial that was very helpful but i can't get the outro of the unloading clip to play. when a new selection is made the new swf loads in transtion but the outgoing swf just disappears.
the code for the buttons:
on (release) {
if (_root.whole.main.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.whole.main.currMovie = "ab1";
_root.whole.main.loadMovie("ab1.swf");
}
else if (_root.whole.main.currMovie != "ab1")
{
if (_root.whole.main._currentframe >= _root.whole.main.midframe)
{
_root.whole.main.currMovie = "ab1";
_root.whole.main.play();
}
}
}
the code at the end of the swf:
_root.whole.main.loadMovie(_root.whole.main.currMo vie + ".swf");
the content section is _root..whole.main
any help or suggestions would be greatly appreicated. thank you
