Flash :: How To Link Two Seperate Movies HELP

Menus With Say 5 Seperate Movies
What is the best way to have say a static header and footer, along with a static menu, that calls up different flash movies only in the middle of the page? Can I do this without using frames?

I want to call up the following within my site:
(there designed in flash already but I want to be able to call them up within my main site template)

1)mp3 player
2)picture viewer
3)a few text files in flash, bio, resume, etc...

Please help, or point me in the right direction.

Peace

Loading Seperate Movies
Is there a way to load a seperate movie (but not show it) just load it so it shows up quicker later when u call it in to the main movie?

http://jigga.surreal-media.com/test/layout.html

the news is part of a seperate movie, and sometimes it doesnt show up after the sites builds up.

Is it possible to load the news.swf as the site is creating itself and animating into place? then have it actually show after teh site is done building.

And then also, if i could load all the other links while its stopped on the news.swf?

Website With Seperate Movies

Seperate Movies Communicating?
Hey everyone, I'm new to these forums.
I'm a web designer for a nearby company from where I live, and I'm trying to expand my skills onto flash, so I've bought a book for Adobe Flash CS3 and read that through, now I'm attempting to create my own website.

My problem is, I have a main movie (holder.swf) which loads 2 movies at one time. The first is menu.swf, which doesn't change at all, it just contains my buttons.

My issue is now I need to find a way for my menu.swf to tell a container (empty movie clip) in my holder.swf which page swf to load.

All of my pages will be seperate swf files, which will hopefully have onload and onunload animations.

I've attatched a diagram to better explain what I need.

Thanks
- Stephen

Edit: I've figured out to use local connections to pass data from both scripts, and hook that up to a load movie

_root.carrega.text = "";
onEnterFrame = function () {

Interactivity Between 2 Seperate Flash Movies. Help Pls
Hi guys, can anyone help me with this?

http://sg.fusion.yahoo.com/demo/twisties/hp.html

Notice the 2 seperate rich media ads, they actually interact with each other.

It's not the timing issue, as i downloaded both movies separately, and the one on the right is a still, and it's actually waiting for some script to be executed before it goes to the next frame.

The movie on the left executes a certain code at some point of time, and the twisties on the right moves on to the next frame.

I've searched countless sites but none has what i wanted.
Probably cos i dun even know what to search for.

Any kind soul able to help me on this?

Been tearing my hair apart for the past week.

Lots of thanx.

Overlay Of Seperate Flash Movies
Hi everybody,

Have this dilemma involving 2 seperate .SWF files.

1st .swf file contains a drop down menu and the height of it is 800px and the 'effective' height is about 200px.

Now... for both .swf files i have set a z-index and wmode: transparent.
When i publish the html, the drop down menu will open over the 2nd swf file.
But i cannot seem to click on the buttons anymore on the 2nd swf file.

how do i get this to work ?

thanks in advance

Can 2 Seperate Flash Movies On Teh Same Page Interact With Each Other?
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to get 2 flash movies on the same page to interact with eachother. For example, if at the top of my page is a flash menu, to the left of that is a flash movie that I want to change depending on what button is pressed, the rest of the page is html. Is there a way to do this? Below is a pic of what I am trying to get with the layout if it helps to show you what problem I am having. Thanks for any suggestions.

(If the movie in the gray box is a menu, can I get it to make the other movie in the blue box play or stop if they are 2 seperate .swf files?)

Linking Seperate Movies On One HTML Page I Just Can't Do It :)
Hi! I have a little problem that I'm sure someone can help me with. I'm building a flash site now for an architectural firm, and there are 3 seperate movies on one HTML page. No problem, but I need to be able to link the main movie to the side movies to display the appropriate movies/pics for the section entered.
I'm sure there are lots of people who have already answered this question here, but I can't seem to pick the right words to search for.

Anyway, take a look, hopefully it's pretty clear what I'm trying to do, and any help would be MEGA-appreciated.

Communication Between Seperate Movies (not Loaded Into Eachother)
On my current project I have a menu going horizontally across the top of my page in one movie, and a separate movie on the side of the page with a submenu.

http://hosted.dailyrush.dk/elementalsaga/pt/

I need to come up with the easiest way for the top bar to tell the sidebar what frames to go to and play. I was thinking of having the top bar set a variable in a text file that the sidebar would check for updates every .5 seconds and then depending on the variable go to the coresponding sub menu. However I'm not certain if there is an easier way, which I hope there is, if not I could use some input on how to execute my idea effectively.

Thanks in advance.

My problem is that only one of the movies load?

How can I load both these movies in my movie?

Loading Seperate Movies For Site Sections
reworking ptacnik.com and need to know the best way to load seperate movies for each "section"

In the first version of my site I used the "loadmovie" and the clipevent "click"... at least i think i did... but all I was really having it do was load each section overtop the other one, witch looked fine but slows down the fps when multible were in the background

I quess what my question is.. is what is the best way to load the different sections so only that section is playing...
... and does the "unloadmovie" completely "unload" or just remove from the main scene?

i want it to be able to load the sections seperatly (when the user clicks on that link) and still have it be loaded when they go back (but not continuesly playing in the background)

if anyone knows what im talking about I would most definatly apreciate the help

Combining Seperate Movies For Loading Purposes
Hi there,
Not an expert as will become patently obvious from the below but I have four swf files on this page one after the other...

http://www.gfnmeubles.com/chests.html

Instead of waiting for them all to load before the page 'starts', what I would really like is to be able to force the loading of the top one first, then the second one etc - I guess I will have to combine them somehow ?? or am I barking up the wrong tree....

Loading Seperate Movies With Flash MX Action Script
I loaded a quicktime movie into flash mx. I made a seperate movie for a button bar. I'm trying to load my button bar with the quicktime movie, so, the button bar will interact with the movie without making them together. I want to have them seperate, so, I will be able to revise one without the other. This is my code, I have the button movie displaying, but without interaction with the main movie. Can someone help?

buttons.loadMovie("buttons.swf",3);
buttons._x = 20;
buttons._y = 400;

2 Flash Movies Playing In 2 Seperate Browser Windows
hi guys, this is my first ever post so i hope its not a stupid question but i have a problem i just cant figure out, and wondered if there is a way to do it.

i have a flash movie playing in one browser. it's a website that has background music playing etc,

there is a link in the movie to launch a new popup browser and load the other site that the link refers to.

so when the user clicks the link the popup opens and loads the other site which also has background music playing. so now both tracks are playnig and of course. it sounds terrible.

here's my problem. is there a way to stop the sound in the "parent" browser playing when for example the user launches the popup child window and the new movie plays?

if the user then for example closed the child browser window, or clicked back on the parent and brought that into "focus" is it possible to then stop the child window playing and let the parent begin to play again?

i realize there is probably some javascript as well as heavy actionscript invovled here. so i really need help, as i'm not going to be winning awards for either if you know what i mean

i'm sorry my first post is a bit heavy.

i have used this javascript which seems to work in identifying if the newbroser (child) is open or not, and if it is not to open another etc.,

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

</script>

but i'm really completely stuck in trying to figure out how to get the sound to stop in the parent browser window when the child browser window is selected and vice versa.

any ideas?

thanks in advacne to everyone who takes the time and patience to read this and post a response. i'm hoping one of you guys is an expert and knows how this can be solved.

Communicating Between 2 Seperate .swf's Each In A Seperate Frame(HTML) ... Help
this seems so elementry, .. yet I cant get it working ...

here is what I have....

A frameset (2 frames).... Frames "Top" and "Bottom"

Frame "top" contains the .swf Named and ID'd as "cont"
Frame "bottom" contains the .swf Named and ID'd as "nav"

The _parent of the frameset contains the following script.. (between the <HEAD> tags)

<script language="Javascript">
function forward1(){
window.top.document.cont.GotoFrame(10);
}
</script>

The movie in the frame "bottom" controls the movie in frame "top" with this.

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript: forward1()", "top");
}

Please look at the source for the _parent ... maybe the mistake will be apparent,heres the link
http://www.alpha8.com/s3/index.html

I'm using dream weaver ..

I'm sure that the javascript is in the _parent of the frameset.

I'm Mac IE5 ... Javascript no go?

Thanx in advance ... I desperately need a solution to this prob.

Just Need To Link Movies Via Actionscript. 99% There..
Hi everybody,

I am using a lovely template to create a wedding invite for my friends, and have managed to get 99% of it the way we want it.

Please take a look at it here:

http://www.gunnarandmagdalena.eu/wed...TML/index.html

The content, is in 4 different pages - the navigation on the top bar works and will take you to each page.

The problem I'm having is that I simply want to link each of the four photos on the front page to its corresponding section.

At present, each photo on the front page links through to links to the wrong content. I just need to change this somehow this. The correct links are working on the nav bar on the top right hand side.

I'm guessing that the solution lies somewhere in the actionscript - but I just can't figure it out. Needless to say I have spent hours playing with it but it has, I hate to say it, stumped me. Help!!!

The FLA is here:
