Load / Unload Movie with targets

[chisp]

Hi folks

Any help would be much appreciated.

I would like to control two swf's from a web page. Call them control.swf and map.swf. Control.swf will have 6 buttons. The map.swf will have 6 movie clips within it.

It is possible to target the individual movie clips within map.swf from the control.swf ? If so, how do I do it ?

At the moment the web page with the embedded swf's has no frameset and the Swf's are sitting in a table. I need to keep it this way is possible.

Will this affect issues the load / unload command ?

Please help, I'm struggling on my own.

Thanks, Cris.

well first thing first it will not affect ur load/unload it you use embed .swf in a table without a frameset !!!

secondly i guess control.swf will be your main .swf file right .
in this file make an empty MC, give it a name like "map" and place it in the center of where you want to load the new .swf file ...

Now issue an action script command
loadMovie() ; and use load in to target and specify the name of the blank MC we created i.e map .

now in the controls buttons script to play the movies like
on(press) {
tellTarget(_root.map.NewMovie1)
play() ;
}

etc ....

this should help you get the effect you desire .../
