Re: FLASH: Load Movie into Target Reference

[Cheri Harder]

Well, I spoke too soon.  Works fine from hard drive, but when uploaded it

doesn't work right.  Here're the details:


On Press loads movie into target

On Release tell targets the loaded movie to play (by tell-target to the

instance of the mc in which the movie is loaded)


IF you press and hold for a moment, so the "on release" isn't activated for

a bit, giving the movie a chance to load, it works.  If you just press &

release quickly, it just sits there at the park frame, because it isn't

"loaded" when the release is received.  I guess I could move the "load

movie" up to the "on roll over" and hope that gives it enough extra

time...but still would be iffy.


This was all done to be able to load this particular movie earlier in the

main movie so that it would be ready when user wanted it, so I added a

"park" and "start" at the beginning of it.  I am wondering if I could

instead, load into an invisible layer of the main movie (like under the

background or off stage) instead of loading it parked.  No, wait, the sound

would still play.  Drat.  I think I'm missing a basic concept here about the

pre-loading of content OR missing something in the "load movie" and "target

movie" scenario, because this timing thing would come up all the time

otherwise, and I haven't seen any threads on it.


If you're still with me here, current example is at www.awsolution.com and

click on "promotion" and then "trailer".  If you click-release it just has

blank screen.  If click-hold, count to 1, release...then you get the trailer

example.  While you're there please tell me if my sound effects are stupid.

I'm too close to it to know and need help with that side of my brain.
