Loading movies within a main scene

[ericreidjr]

Here is my problem:

I am creating a website in Flash MX and ideally, I have a main Scene (Main Page, Homepage, etc.) For every subsequent instance (i.e. About Page, Portfolio Page, etc.), I want to call it to the main Scene as a separate movie clip with each clip cancelling out each other as they are called. What is the best way of achieving this task?

Any thoughts are deeply appreciated!

Hiya

The way I do it is to make each section a seperate swf file and then call it in using loadMovie()

Let's say you attach the code to the buttons on your navigation system. It would look something like this :


on (release) {
loadMovie("porfolio.swf", "_level20");
}


If you make sure that ALL the sections load into the SAME level (_level20 in the example), then the new section replace the old section.

If you use the above the correct syntax would be...

code:

---

on (release) {

loadMovieNum("porfolio.swf", 20);

}

If you'd prefer to load your external movies in a container clip, along with a generic preloader in the main movie, check this...

If you want to add a transition between loaded movies, this...

Thanks mickbrit55 and oldnewbie. I implemented the code you supplied with a few manipulations and it worked smoothly. Thanks again .
