    Loading swf inside a loader once swf is already loaded in the loader

    Hello,

    My page is constructed off of a banner, a menu, and content. Simple design.

    Links from my menu open up in my loader(prLoader var name). Now, here's the problem:

    Once any link opens in the loader I am having problems linking other .swf's into the same loader.

    Example:

    Click about us.
    About us opens up in a loader beside the menu(its a page)
    in About us page I have a link example: Our Sponsors
    Now, the link is on About us page which was loaded into the loader
    I tried typing

    mcSponsors.onRelease = function(){
    prLoader.loadClip("Sponsors.swf",prLoader);
    }

    as well as

    mcSponsors.onRelease = function(){
    prLoader.contentPath = "Sponsors.swf";
    }

    Obviously it won't find prLoader because its loaded inside it and it doesn't know what it is.

    Do I have to create another loader on top of the about us page? Every content page like About Us or Our Sponsors have the same design.. I just want them all to open in 1 main loader.

    Well the page setup would be as follows...
    PHP Code:
    mcSponsors.onRelease = function(){
    _root.prLoader.contentPath "Sponsors.swf";

    You have to have the _root in there otherwise it looks for the loader INSIDE the flash movie you loaded adding _root goes back to the MAIN timeline and looks for prLoader and reloads it with Sponsors.swf

    Hope this helps,
    Kriogenic.
