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.

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?

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

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.

Loadmovie HELP Loading 2 Seperate Movies
I have a website where I'd like to keep one flash movie as a frame and the other I want to use as content inside.
I want to be able to click a button on my Frame that loads a movie inside my content.
here's a link to the situation the orange outer box is movie 1 and the inner black box is movie 2.
I'm sure it's just a simple actionscript code, I just don't know what to put as the variable to get it to change the 2nd movie instead of the 1st.
Thanks in advance...

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.
2nd .swf file contains clickable buttons and on the site it would be placed just under the drop down menu above.
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

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.

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....

Alright, I wanna know how to have a transition animation play when the user moves to another section in a Flash site.
Would it be possible to make the entire timeline of a loaded movieclips play backwards to the 1st frame before it is unloaded and the next section is loaded in? or is there some more advanced AS involved in having an outro transition?
an example of what I mean is http://www.nemstudio.com/en.php (Aswell as countless other Flash sites)

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">
<!--
var newwindow = '';
function popitup(url)
{
if (!newwindow.closed && newwindow.location)
{
newwindow.location.href = url;
}
else
{
newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=550,width =750,left=50,top=50');
if (!newwindow.opener) newwindow.opener = self;
}
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
}
// -->
</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.

2 Q's: Preloader On Seperate Page, And Fps Conversion.
1. Is there anyway I can begin to preload a movie from a seperate html page. For instance, could I set my homepage (and all other linked pages to begin to load the flash movie) that way it would be loaded already if the user just happen to click on the link to the actual movie. Does that even make sense?
2. Is there a way in MX to do a full frame rat conversion. For instance if I have a CD version of a movie that runs at 24 fps, could I change it for the web to run at 12 fps without making it play at 1/2 speed?
Thanks for any help.

Nav Bar As Seperate Movie But Works On Each Page
I want to create a site entirely of flash because elements of my nav bar need to animate and I have elements on each page like galleries that would be easier to do with flash. I think I have to make one movie (or many movies in one movie) for the nave separately. Each button will reveal a small image over it as you rollover the nav AND then on release you are taken to a new part of the site. But each "page" of the site also needs to be it's own movie (I think) in order to contain animating elements. So...is there a way to keep the nav and exterior frame of the site (with the logo) as a fixed piece of every page with out having to include it in the movie for each page? For example- the nav, logo and background area would stay the same and the movie for the individual page that is being navigated to would open within that frame. But I am not talking literally about coded "frames", just as a mean of describing the layout.
I am sorry if this is confusing. I am not even sure how to ask this question. I just am concerned about keeping the overall file size down and load time quick.

Preload SWF On Seperate HTML Page?
Good morning all,
We're workin' on a project over here where we load a relatively large (140kb) flash animation to use as a kind of landing page in the shell file before the user clicks any buttons. Think of it as an intro that fades out as soon as the user clicks any of the other nav on screen.
The issue at hand is that we want this to load relatively fast on dialup. One of the quirks about the site is that the client wants a static HTML driven news page on the site, and from there you can click the "Enter Button" to go to the Flash page...
*whew* So let me see if I can explain this another way:
User comes to static news page. Reads news. Clicks "Enter" to go to Flash page.
Flash page loads, "intro" animation plays in a loop until other nav is pushed. "Intro" fades out, the rest of the site runs through Flash.
So the issue at hand:
I want to preload this intro.swf quietly in the background of that first news page, perhaps as a 1 pixel x 1 pixel SWF in a div tag off screen. If I do this, will the browser cached the intro SWF so when the user finally jumps to the flash page it'll load quickly?
This is a simple question that just seems oh so complicated to explain, but thanks for your help.

Opening A Page In A Seperate Frame On A Website

for example, i have a 2 frame website. 1 frame has the links, and the other is for the main content. The links page contains seperate swf buttons which open up seperate web pages in the main contents page.
In normal html on the button link, you use <a target = _content.html>, or something like that.
what would you use in flash?
