    Stop loadMovieNum opening explorer window!!

    I am setting up a CD, fullscreen/standalone .exe that loads a bunch of .swfs onto the main stage when buttons are pressed, (and unloads them when finished).

    Two questions:

    1) Using OnRelease - "loadmovieNum" command to load the .swfs opens an explorer window at the same time, which I don't want. How can I stop this?

    2) Does the end-user need the Flash-plug-in in order to view the loaded external .swfs, or does the Windows Projector do this now? I was pretty sure the plug-in was required with Flash 4.

    Any thoughts or ideas useful

    The Flash Plug is included in the projector. Thats the only thing you need.

    When refering to code , always show the actual code. This is so we can see if there are spelling or other errors so we can exclude tha basic things. So whats your loading code?

    re: pop-up windows

    Thanks.

    Here is the set-up:

    movie1.exe is the stage for

    movie2.swf (frame action "loadMovieNum("folder/movie2.swf", 300");

    movie2.swf now sits above main stage and contains buttons that will unload movie2.swf and load other movies (this is where the unwanted window pops up)

    "on (release) {
    loadMovieNum("folder/movie3.swf", 300,);
    unloadMovieNum(this);
    }

    So movie3.swf now occupies the designated area on the stage, and movie2.swf is unloaded and so on...

    There are some typing errors in your code. A " character and added , character.

    You dont have to unload when you load into the same _level as ony one swf can occupy a _level at the same time. Try without the unloading code.

    unecessary unloadmovie is the answer!

    It seems this was causing the pop-up. Now to test from CD....
