Re: FLASH: Tell me why? (Oh, why...)

[Lena Bj�rklund]

Hello Yann,


Now I�ve tried this, too. With the same negative result as in the previous

attempt!!! Nothing happens when triggering the button...

The swf:s are all stored in the same directory as the html file in level 0

- the "html" folder on my server. This must by right, otherwise they

wouldn�t have been loaded when i tried the "get URL   movie1.swf" action -

or maybe I�m wrong???


Thank you, anyway.

In purpose to make one, quite large, swf movie load "in the background",

while another, also quite large movie, is currently playing I have made

use of "load movie" actions combinded with "tell target"...


The arragangement looks like this:


The first movie has a "load movie" assigned to a frame in its timeline.

Like this:


Load movie   URL: movie2.swf

#Level: 1


In the last frame of the timeline of the first movie, is a button which

has this actions assigned to its instant properties:


 On (Release)

    Get URL         URL: movie2.swf

                            Window:_Self

    Begin Tell Target

                             (target: level1)

           Go to next frame

     End tell target

 End on


The second movie starts with an ordinary preoloading loop (that "If

frame is loaded "- thing, you know) that loops over 5 frames containing

nothing but the white background (in order not to interfer with the

previous movie, when loaded). It has a "Go to and stop"    Frame number

6-action, instead of the ordinary "Go to and play" in the prelaoding

setup - I don�t want it to start before the button is triggered. The

actual movie2 starts in frame no 7 of its timeline (the frame that

*should" be targeted with movie1:s "go to next frame" actions...). In

this frame I have also put a "play"-action.


So...Why does this not not work??? ...The second movie loads fine,

while the  first is playing. But it starts before the first is finished

and you never reach the last button-equiped frame!!!


Aaarrrggghhh.


Please, anyone. What am I doing wrong here? Or is there another way

(sure, there must be) to achieve this, that you know of?

Sorry. This is *not* the problem. The first movie actually reaches the last


frame, but when the button is triggered, it catches the new movie (what a

victory!!!) but the new movie doesn�t play. It�s just blank and white. It

seems like the "tell target" action to "next frame" doesn�t work...


Still, very much:
