Tell Target??

[glandry]

ok heres is what i have....

on (press) {
unloadMovie ("_level1");
unloadMovie ("_level2");
loadMovieNum ("portfolio.swf", 1);
}


everything works fine for me except i want to be able to go to frame 45 in "portfolio.swf" when it loads....

whats missing?

[wwwxlfcjbcom]

why not stick a goto and play action in the first frame of of portfolio.swf..

or if frame is loaded goto and play 45

[glandry]

I'll try that, but some instances require I run the portfolio.swf starting at frame 1 and others (like this one) I need to start in the middle. I was hoping there was a way of naming the frame I want to goto and then tell it to go there when it loads...

and of course I need it in the action I listed previous..

Try this:
on (press) {
unloadMovie ("_level1");
unloadMovie ("_level2");
loadMovieNum ("portfolio.swf", 1);
_level1.gotoAndPlay(45);
}



I'm not sure it will work 'cause I don't have my books here with me. Also this only works in 5.

on (release) {
unloadMovie ("_level1");
unloadMovie ("_level2");
loadMovieNum ("portfolio.swf", 1);
tellTarget ("_level1") {
gotoAndPlay ("whatever");
}
}


Stick a label on frame 45 and name that lable something ya can remember. replace "whatever" with the name of your label. (this code will work in flash 4)
