    your FLAs can help many people learning ActionScript.

    If you had a website with lots of FLAs well commented like yours, you could be famous heheh.

    I hope you someday publish a FLA of an entire site navigation with menu, photo gallery, preloader, dynamic text, scroller, etc

    it would be very nice! and people would love it!

    see ya

    Alrite guys,
    Got a major problem with my external SWFs loading on screen...I have the main .swf know as part1.swf, second .swf know as part2.swf, and a 3rd part know as part3.swf. The part1 has a button which loads part2 into a movieclip holder, using the code:
    on (release) {
    _root.container.loadMovie("part2.swf");
    }

    It loads into the movieclip holder fine. Then within part2, there is a button which loads part3 which is inside part 2. But......it doesn't load yet I think the coding is perfect. The script for the button in part2 to load part 3 is:
    on (release) {
    _root.container2.loadMovie("part3.swf");
    }

    On publish of part1 to view the whole thing in action part 2 loads, but part 3 doesnt load within part 2. But...if you publish part 2, and click the button to load part 3 it works?£!?! Confusinh eh???

    Help its slowing down my work

    you are using this code in part2 to load part3:

    on (release) {
    _root.container2.loadMovie("part3.swf");
    }

    I think you should use:

    on (release) {
    _root.container.container2.loadMovie("part3.swf");
    }

    cuz you have to access the part2(which is inside container, and then load part3)

    your preloading is not working

    you put the preloader code inside the function

    and it will pass the function only once (when you click a button)

    have you established if that load code works?


    heres a question for some of you, the flash bandwidth simulater in flash is ok to a point, but doesnt work with loaded files, is there a small webserver type program that can restrict flow of data, to simulate a 56k connection speed, that i can use offline?

    Im coming in very late here with this post but i've been researching hard on using back and forward buttons in a browser for the site im designing.

    Im using a simliar system of having a main swf file with my menu in, im then loading new movies depending on the options selected from my original level0 swf.

    What im having problems with is getting the back and forward buttons working. I've used named anchors and have them working. However on loading new swf files from my menu the buttons don't work. Is there a way to track the movies loaded (like the example euphoricGenius made) but assign the results to back and forward buttons?? Hope thats clear, any advice would be appreciated.
