[F8] Combining two sites into one with button actions

carmjack73 · 04-17-2007, 03:53 PM

I purchased two templates, one is a splash/intro (450x253) page and the other is a full site (766x780).

On the intro site there are skip and replay(that will be changed to enter) buttons. I need the skip and enter buttons to link to and launch the full site.

I've tried doing this using the on (release) {loadMovie....}, however this is not working. I've also thought about making a MC out of the full site and putting it into the spalsh page's timeline, but because of the size difference I am not sure that is a viable or workable option. I have very limited knowledge of action script and believe the code is beyond my present skill level.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

You could create a shell movie (766x780) that loads the intro movie and, when they click the enter button, have it load the main movie...

Just one idea...

Hope that helps!

ok i'm back....
i've created a shell movie and have used
_root.intro.loadMovie ("introV2.swf");

however, the swf being loaded never fully loads. it just keep looping on the "loading" frame. am I doing something wrong or is there a better way to load the two movies into the shell movie?

thanks again for any assistance.
