Level 0 Loads A Movie Into Level 1 - Buttons On Level 0 Still Appear To Be Active Underneath
I am working on an interactive cd. My main movie plays in level 0 and clicking on an option loads the relevant movie into level 1.
The problem I have is that the main movie's buttons are still active underneath and if you click on the wrong place in the movie on level 1 it jumps to a new movie because of the button below.
Is there a way to somehow deactivate these while there is a movie playing above?
Controlling The Main Time Line Of A Movie Via A Button Within A Movie On A Different Level.
Hi there!
I have two movie is two different levels,
Level 5 is my base movie and I am loading another movie on top of this into level 10.
Once the user clicks onto a button within the movie on level 10, I would like the animation in level 5 to stop (the animation runs on the main root timeline of level 5).
Once the user clicks on a different button within the movie on level 10, I would like the animation on the main timeline of the movie in level 5 to start again from the point where it previously left off.
Is this possible?
It would be great if someone could help me out with this.
Thanks, midi_ie

on mouse press Load movie to level 5 and unload movies from level 6.7.8.9 ???

As it stands now I have
Track1 load to level 5
Track2 load to level 6
Track3 load to level 7
Track4 load to level 8

Or if I press Track 5 to unload movies level 5,6,7,8
This is what I done so far
http://eclipse.ebportal.com/bluenotejazz/index.html
If u press on track1 and after on track 2, Track 2 will just upload new flash file on top of track 1.
Now I am not good with this but, this is what I tried
This is as code stands
on (press) {
stopAllSounds();
loadMovieNum("flash/track1.swf", 5);
play();
}
This is what I was trying to do for TRACK 1
on (press) {
stopAllSounds();
loadMovieNum("flash/track1.swf", 5);
play();
}
on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(6,7,8,9);
}
---------------------------------
Of course for Track 2 this would be
on (press) {
stopAllSounds();
loadMovieNum("flash/track2.swf", 6);
play();
}
on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(5,7,8,9);
}
ETC
Pls some help need it here and its URGENT !!!
Load A Movie To Another Level And The Buttons In Base Level Still Work..
Hello,
Ok Im loading movies into level 95. The problem is the movie at the base has buttons in it and they are still active through the movie that is loaded at lvl 95. So to fix this I made one large button and made the movie at lvl 95 dragable. The only issue with this method is now your cursor looks like it is always active. So has anyone figured out a way to block buttons that are at the base level if you load into a upper level?
Thanx

When section.swf appears on the screen, everything is fine BUT... the buttons on the main.swf work THROUGH the section.swf which is on level 1. Is there anyway to cancel out the buttons on level 0 when a movie is loaded ontop of it to level 1????

How To Make "Perloader In Level 0 React To File Size Of Level 1 Movie"
Hi with the help of a kind heart online, i was able to recieve a FLA file which contents the script for me to load an external movie onto a main movie, while allowing the preloader of tht main movie to wait for the external movie to be loaded b4 skiping the fram with the mc "loading".
Everything works fine offline but when i host it up online the main movie stucks at the mc "loading", and does not load the external movie. I have tried to replace tht external movie with a simple only one pix in it flash movie, but still no difference. Also when i previewed the main movie in flash 6, a window titled "output" poped up with the message "1110938". i tried looking up for infor on it but no luck at all.
here's the link to download the FLA file from :

If Movie #1 Is In Level One, Then Load Movie #2 To Level One...
OKay, so i'm an actionscript newbie, and i am wondering what the code would look like for this kind of if statement.
This is what i have now:
A jukebox that loads external movie #1 to level 1 when you click play. The stop button unloads any movie in level 1. There is a next button and a previous button that currently have no actions assigned to them.
What i want to happen:
When the user clicks either next or previous, the appropriate movie # loads into level 1 to replace the one that was there before.
So onRelease of next button, if movie #1 is in level 1, then load movie #2 into level 1. If movie #2 is in level 1, then load movie #3 into level 1, and if movie #3 is in level 1, then load movie #1 into level 1.
Same for previous, except backwards. So onRelease of previous button, if movie #1 is in level 1, then load movie #3 into level 1.
Can you help me write the code properly?
Thanks!
Loading Movie In Same Level Doesn't Stop First Movie Downloading
I could see this in the Safari browsers Activity window.
I have made a site which loads external swf's using loadMovieNum - all in level 3 - upon pressing different buttons.
I thought that if one swf was in the proces of downloading in level 3, and you press another button which loads another swf also in level 3, the download of the first swf would stop - but it doesn't.
It replaces it on the site of course - but the download of the first swf continues in the background - using unnecessary bandwith.
It does the same with loadMovie in to the same empty movieclip.
And
_level3.stop();
...also doesn't stop the download.
Is this the way it's suppose to work ?- I don't like it. I would rather not use UnloadMovie for obvoius reasons.

Movie In Level2 Gets Booted When New Movie In Level 0 Loads

Any takers?

Loading Movie Clip Onto Different Level To The Movie.swf That It Is Held In
Hi Guys
If any one could put me out of my misery, it would be much appreciated.
I have a movie called main.swf and a movie clip within that main.swf called “car”.
OK so far so Good !
Main.swf is on level 1 and I want the movie clip “car” to be on level 2
I know that this can be done through having the movie clip in a separate swf (ie loading url onto a separate level, however I must have the movie clip in the same swf as main.swf.
Any help would be more than appreciated

Load Movie: Can You Lock A Level Below A Loaded Movie?
I have a mainmovie with lots of buttons from which users can access 200 still images. The way I have set it up is that ALL images are loaded into level 2 from the buttons on the main movie, and all images unload from level 2 (there is only one image ever up at a time) and then go to a certain frame label back on level 0. Glitch has just come up (at zero hour) - seems that the buttons on level 0 still remain active through level 2 images - sooo, I wonder, is there any way to work around this by assigning level 1 a locked value or something?
Any tips or ideas welcome!
thanks

Loading Movie - Movie Clip Or New Level?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of loading an swf either into a movie clip on the stage or on to a new level? I've seen how you can do both, and I'm not sure what the advantages/disadvantages for both options are...Basically I'm comparing loading the swf into a movie clip or into a new level...which is better for this type of thing???
Thanks!
Load Movie Level / Draggable Movie
hi
I have 2 questions relating to laoding a movie into a new level - and then allowing that movie to be dragged - with the acceleration / de-acceleration effect happening.
On the #1 question:
Is it possible to specify x and y co-ordinates on where the new movie loads in the level specified?
I'm aware that positioning can be achieved by loading the movie into a target movie holder - but as I'd like the movie to be draggable - I assuming this isn't an option.
So at the moment I'm using:
on(release){
loadMovieNum("movie1.swf","5");
}
to load the movie - can this be extended to included x / y co-ordinates in level 5?
#2 question:
The movie1.swf has a draggable function using an invisible button:
on (press) {
//Start Dragging Movieclip Behavior
startDrag(this);
//End Behavior
}
on (release) {
//Stop Dragging Movieclip Behavior
stopDrag();
//End Behavior
}
how is the acceleration / de-acceleration effect achieved in the context of this code.
Many thanx for any help given!

Movie Level
I was simply loading an external swf file into my main swf. I have 3 layers with graphics on them. So all I did was load my swf into Level 0 but the external swf still covers up my 3 layers of graphics? Does this make sense to anyone?
If I load the external swf into an empty mcHolder in my main swf then my external swf moves very slowly for some reason. Even if I adjust the main swf to the fps that the external uses?

Telling Movie On Another Level
ok ok,
this may be very basic, but I confess i do not know
Question:
How do you tell a movie (on say Level 0) to tell the another movie (on say Level 3) to go to a particular frame (lable)? Also how is it possible for a movie to close itself? (so the main movie is on level 0, and another movie is on level three, and before it closes it does some fancy animation or something, then closes itself?)
thanks in advance

Loading Movie/level HELP
I have a movie (with its own internal variables) that I want to load into another movie with the navigation. Problem is I want it BENEATH the navigation (level0). I tried makin yet another movie that brought in both the navigation (on level 5) and the new movie (level 1). For some reason the new movie didn't work when it was loaded beneath the navigation.
Just so you know what is in the swf i am trying to load: it simply tracks the _ymouse and tells a clip within it to go to a specific frame.
Please help!
Thanks.

Movie Level Question
Hi Everyone,
I come to conclusion that i need help from the experts(you) since i've been figuring out this problem since yesterday. I am calling an external SWF using loadMovie like this:
loadMovie("AboutMe.swf", _root.movAboutMe.movOnTheFly);
I'm doing a load in the first Frame, First Layer, _root of my main Movie. The weird thing is the External Movie Loads perfectly except.. the sub movies on this external movie is not working with their corresponding events. Example... in AboutMe.swf if loaded, when i clicked on of its button to play a movie, its not doing anything, and so as the default movies that plays in OnClipEvent(load). Does this have to do with Level Numbers? since i have _level0 in my main movie and there's another one on the external movie(aboutme.swf) which i loaded?. I hope my question make sense.
Any help or advice will surely be appreciated.
Movie In A Superior Level
I have a movie (level 0) and this movie load other in level 1 each movie have buttons the problem is that I want to disable the buttons in level 0 if there is a movie in a superior level. Because I don’t want that the people can push the other buttons by mistake.
I attach the example.
I think this can be achieved making a background under the buttons in the level 1 or maybe whit AC.
thanks for any help.
