Loading on-top of exisiting swf (then...

Hi



I'm currently building a site with 1 main file, and 4 swfs
loading into a Empty Movie container within the main file. An
example of the code I'm using (on buttons) to do this is



on (release) {

loadMovie(''Reels.swf'', ''_root.container'');



This works fine, but instead of just replacing the existing
swf with the new one, I'm trying to create a transistion where the
new loaded swf covers over the exisiting one. I have added a
fade/wipe to the start of each external swf, but because they are
all loading into the same movie container on the same level, I'm
not getting the effect I'm after.

I'm still learning AS, is it possible to load an external swf
into the movie container on the next level (to the exisiting one),
then after a short time unload the swf in the previous level? As I
say, I in the process of learning flash/AS, so any advice is
greatly received, even pointing in the direction of a tutorial to
learn.



Thanks

You want to use loadMoveNum which will allow you to load the
SWF's into different levels. You want to be careful about using
_root, if your other Sub-SWF's use _root in them they may not work
correctly. _root will have your Sub-SWF's point to the main movie
_root.



You can also do this with multiple container

e.g.

loadMovie(''Reels.swf'', ''_root.container'');

loadMovie(''Reels.swf'', ''_root.container1'');

loadMovie(''Reels.swf'', ''_root.container2'');



and make them play and make them visible when you need them.



When you build the web site on your local computer this will
happen fast but when you put it on a web server and have to
download the content it takes longer. You may want to use the
second option so all the content is loading in the background,
otherwise you will need to use a preloader.



Good luck;

Raymond
