    External SWF Control & Removing Movie Clip..

    Right...
    I got two questions, and I'm wondering whetever some one can help me solve them!
    Number 1: My Main SWF is at Level0 obviously, and I have a second SWF inside that running at Level1; is it possible now to create a button in the SWF in Level1 to open a SWF or Movieclip in the original SWF? Is this possible?

    Basically I think this is like controlling an External SWF from another SWF.

    Number 2: Is it possible to remove a movie clip with an alpha fade just by scripting? Without having to use a motion tween? Also can this be done also by using a button in the SWF in Level1, to remove the clip in the original SWF?

    Thanks in advance

    you could call a function from one-to-the-other, that may work

    mmmmm...i dont quite understand your drift with your FLAs. For an example of what i mean go to: www.level103.com/theone.html
    that is a SWF, with an external SWF loaded when you click on portfolio in the menu. It loads in the white area, I want to create a button in the SWF that loads in the white area, to load a movieclip in the black area below it, which is in the original movie clip...?

    My Main SWF is at Level0 obviously - Check!

    I have a second SWF inside that running at Level1 - Check! (thats the second fla that loads in the yellow)

    create a button in the SWF in Level1 to open a SWF or Movieclip in the original SWF - Check! (Button in the yellow section, that loads a movie into the main swf)


    my solution matched that.


    now i see what you mean i'll be back shortly with another solution (hopefully)

    Man! You are a genius, but one question!
    I got the movie clip to alpha fade, but now it comes bck after a certain amount of time! I need to get rid it of after the alpha delay. I don't think remove movie clip would work!
    Any help?
    Many Thanks,

    Right...goto www.level103.com/theone.html . This is the site I am currently building, you will ifnd a movie clip move along the bottom black section of the site, saying Innovative Contemporary Design. When portfolio is clicked on in the menu, the Innovative Contempoary Design fades out. but when you just wait on the portfolio page, the innovative contemporary design comes back, and then is all over the portfolio page!

    the address: http://www.level103.com/theone.html

    Many Thanks

    hmm, its difficult to know what the problem is when i dont have the source code of your project, so i cant tell you exactly what is wrong with it. what i will do is try and knock together some mock-ups for you

    i hope you find the following useful, ive developed it to try and help you, this is the first version, the next should be posted soon.

    ive boosted up the level of the coding, its simple in concept but is more advanced in coding.

    fades are now controled by the set interval function and called with cross-movie clip functions


    Hope you like it, it makes a good template.
