External Loading Problem

[Waverider303]

I have a Movie and i can load the movie but the menu wont work properly.

First Download The Attachment...

1. Look at TOOLBAR.SWF
2. Click on GENERAL INFO
*//Notice that the menus move down and show sub categories
3. Click on Attendance and Disipline
*//Notice that the menus move down and show sub categories again and the others move back up
4. Open External_prob.swi
5. Hold CTRL and hit T
6. Click on GENERAL INFO
*//Notice that the menus dont move down and dont show sub categories.
7. Click on Attendance and Disipline
*//Notice that the menus dont move down and dont show sub categories again and the others dont move back up
8. That is the problem it loads the toolbar but the actions and scripts dont work..

I hope that helps... Thanks To All That Help

Hi Waverider303,

Have you found a solution to your difficulty yet?

I've looked at your file via your post at Swishzone. I'm certain there is a correct script that would make it function as you would like it and thus by pass the _root difficulty. However, I just haven't had the time to research it out.

In the meantime, since no one else has answered.... this might be a temporary solution.

In stead of loading your menu swf "into" a sprite in your main movie and trying to work it from there..... why not make your menu movie the main movie and load your other content into a "container" sprite in this movie.

This way your menu would work perfectly and the other content would load into the "container" sprite and .... there you go.

Does this help?

Blessings

right! have a look at your script in the external prob.swi

and delete and swop it with the following

onLoad () {
loadMovieNum("toolbar.swf",1);
}


this seemed to work for me
