Linking 2 Projector files

[eversonuk]

Hi There,

I need to be able to start a projector file which will run its course and on the last frame call another projector file to start automatically.

Can this be done? Would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks

Why would you need to open another flash projector?

say you have A.swf and made it into a "ProjectorA.exe" and like you said you wanted to start "ProjectorB.exe" afterwards...

you could just use the 1st projector to load up "B.swf" on _level0 i.e. totally replacing the content of the first movie.

Thats sounds like what I need. How would I do that?

[SpockBert]

Well just make your movies as normal and put this code on the last frame of the first movie@

loadMovie("B.swf",_level0);

Make sure "B.swf" is in the same directory as your projector file and it will load fine.

The only possible complication is if your 2 movies, A and B are different screen sizes.

Thanks, they do happen to be different screen sizes and also different speeds.

Would making them both full screen sort this out?

[SpockBert]

ahhh, beginning to see why you wanted 2 different projector files now!

If the sizes and framerates are different they'll revert to whatever the settings og the 1st movie was, so:

Movie A, 500x300 24 fps

Movie B, 300x300 12 fps

If you started off with A and then loaded B at level0, B would have a 200 pixel gap on the right side and it would run at 24fps.

Any particular reason why they must have different frame rates?

I am using fla which I created a while back which has music timed with the on screen action.

I am also using Flash MX built in Presentation templates. They have different frame rates.

I want to swith out of the presentation into my movie and then back again.

The presentation is 12 and the music movie is 28...arrrgg!
