Loading and Unloading External Swf when clicking Forward and Back?

[ramonguthrie]

I am creating an interactive slideshow, like a PowerPoint effect, I have a main scene, 4 Buttons, a Home Button, Play Button, Forward Button & Back Button.

I want the Home Button to take me back to the start of the scene, Forward Button to Load a External swf slide and when the Forward Button is clicked again to Unload External swf and load in the next swf slide, I also want the Back Button to do a similar thing!

I keep getting External Swf pile-ups or flickering

Here's my code:

Play_button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Play_btn1);

import fl.display.ProLoader;

var fl_ProLoader:ProLoader;

var fl_ToLoad:Boolean = true;

function Play_btn1(event:MouseEvent):void

{

    

        fl_ProLoader = new ProLoader();

        fl_ProLoader.load(new URLRequest("slides/slide1.swf"));

        addChild(fl_ProLoader);

        fl_ProLoader .y = 36;

    }

    else

    {

        fl_ProLoader.unload();

        removeChild(fl_ProLoader);

        fl_ProLoader = null;

    }

    // Toggle whether you want to load or unload the SWF

    fl_ToLoad = !fl_ToLoad;

}

Forward_button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Forward_btn1);

function Forward_btn1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    gotoAndStop("Slide2");
}

Back_button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Back_btn1);
function Back_btn1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    gotoAndStop("Home");
}

Home_button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Home_btn1);
function Home_btn1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    gotoAndStop("Home");
}

I hope this all makes sense, any Help will be useful. Thanks
