Button Loads new Menu to Fast

[4romAshz2Flashz]

I have several menus which are located in seperate .swf files. Each menu has a fade in and a fade out done through a motion tween. The menus are loaded by buttons on the main page. Below is the actionscript that I'm using on the buttons. I want the button to let the previous menu unload, and then load the next. Right now all it does is loads the next immediately. I need a delay. Does anyone know of a way to get it to wait for the previous menu to unload. Thanks!


on (press) {
//Remove Current Menu & TV program
this.menu_container.back.gotoAndPlay(21);
this.menu_container.control.gotoAndPlay(21);
tv_container.unloadMovie();
if (remote_animation._currentframe == 6) {
animation.enabled = true;
remote_animation.gotoAndPlay(6);
}
if (remote_biography._currentframe == 6) {
biography.enabled = true;
remote_biography.gotoAndPlay(6);
}


//Disable Vectorscope & Load Remote
remote_artwork.gotoAndPlay(2);
this.menu_container.loadMovie ("artwork.swf");
this.tv_container.loadMovie ("artworkback.jpg");

}

unloading is instantaneous, so there is no point to 'wait' for the unload, really. Plus you are loading in the same 'tv_container' and 'menu_container', so there is actually no need to 'unload' anything as the new swfs replace the old ones automatically.

Now, if you want a delay because of the 'way it feels' before the loading of the new items, you could use setInterval() or have some controller clip play and trigger the loading on its xth frame.

I'm new to creating controller clips, but I think I did an alright job. It works partially. How can I check if there is even a previous menu loaded for an else if?

menu_control.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (menuload == 1) {
if (menu_container.back._currentframe == 35) {
remote_artwork.gotoAndPlay(2);
menu_container.loadMovie ("artwork.swf");
tv_container.loadMovie ("artworkback.jpg");
menuload = 0;
}
}
