comunicating between external movies

[henjan]

I have beens searching forums and trying to work this out... but its the end of the day and I have not managed to do this.

It should be quite simple really.

I want to comunicate betwen movies and their mc_ 's to load other external swfs.

main movie

adma_novo.swf ----- has 2 empty mc's called top_mc and info_mc

after click on a menu button in adma_novo.swf it loads external eventos.swf into info_mc of adma_novo.swf

eventos.swf (contains another menu)


after pressing button in eventos.swf it opens noel.swf .

noel.swf then contains some thumbnails of images.

i want to be able to click a thumbnail and have it open into top_mcof adma_novo.swf

I thought I had to try something like loadmovie "./imag1.swf","_root.top_mc"

but it is not working.

so.

1 a movie with Mc_top, Mc_info
2 a movie opens external b movie into Mc_info
3 b movie opens external swf into movie a Mc_top

im stuck at 3.

If anybody has any goof links for the loadmovie command... or comunicating between movies using loadmovie.. etc or _root explenation... I would apreciate it.

thanx all !

hi,

From the structure you describe,

code:

---

_root.top_mc.loadMovie("./imag1.swf");

// or

_level0.top_mc.loadMovie("./imag1.swf");

---

should do it, although using absolute notation is not the best practice.

Make sure the instance name is correct, top_mc and is on the stage of the main movie.
