try this..
I have created the project as follows.
the MAIN.swf holds your navigation and preloader....along with a blank/empty clip that is there for us to load content into.. (thats it)
I made two separate .swf's two represent two sections of your site. (portfolio and cv)
you can now edit these sections separately..and in their own .swf/.fla
this 'same' concept can be used/applied to loading all sorts of content.. images, external.swf's videos..etc..etc..
hope it helps give you some direction..

Wow, thanks so much!
I can't access these in MX04 though.
If I recall correctly, you work w/ CS3?
*searching for a trial version of cs3
-
I can only save back down to flash 8
perhaps tomorrow I can see if I still have F8 installed and save to MX2004?
-
Found a trial version of CS3 and am making some headway.
Okay, NOW I see the benefits of loading separate SWFs and how it seems to work! So, does merely having everything in the same folder enable this sort of organization to work such that any updates/edits take immediate effect?
Two small things:
1)There's a preloader error output that comes up when I test the .fla :
PHP Code:
>> contentListener.onLoadStart()
>> contentListener.onLoadProgress()
PERCENTAGE: 0
>> contentListener.onLoadProgress()
PERCENTAGE: 0
>> contentListener.onLoadProgress()
PERCENTAGE: 0
>> contentListener.onLoadProgress()
PERCENTAGE: 100
>> contentListener.onLoadProgress()
PERCENTAGE: 100
>> contentListener.onLoadProgress()
PERCENTAGE: 100
>> contentListener.onLoadProgress()
PERCENTAGE: 100
>> contentListener.onLoadProgress()
PERCENTAGE: 100
>> contentListener.onLoadComplete()
>> contentListener.onLoadInit()
2) Suddenly, my next/prev buttons for the gallery are no longer working, and I can't find any possible errors in the script.
I can't express my thanks enough for all of your help.
You've saved my sanity in a very didactic way!

I didnt go through the portfolio .swf.I just created (copied) it really.. to an external.swf
I looked at it.. and I have no clue what are you trying to do. doesnt even look to have any images in the main image section above your thumbnails..etc..
anyways.. the logic is there for you load in any external .swf you ant now..
so you can build any .fla/.swf you want all by itself..and test it.. (do not use _root...'or' use _lockroot = true; in the first frame of every external.swf 'if' you have to use references to _root in it)
I can check into the preloader.. but hard to test it locally.. did you try to slow the loading by ctrl+enter (twice in a row)
-
Yeah, I had to delete the images to ensure that I could zip everything...
I reinserted all of them, and when I did, the only thing off was the navigation w/ the next/prev arrows below the thumbnails.
As for the preloader, I did try both methods w/ the ctrl/enter (twice) and the standard test method, and the error screen came up. The same error message comes up again when I click on the different buttons in the file: bio, portfolio, etc.
-
what do you mean by 'off'?
and I'll look into the preloader..but have you tried it live?
-
just meant that it's not working by "off". :P
It is now live:

...but the working elements, (portfolio and CV) are not loading. The preloader doesn't seem to be loading everything.
All that aside, you've been wonderful in walking me through this!!
Thanks again!
