Load movie, navigation?

[macflasher]

I have a movie with three scenes and each scene loads a different .swf into level 0 in the first frame with the Load Movie action.

How can I have a nav bar on top of each .swf in each scene that goes to the previous or next scene?

I have tried loading the nav bar as an .swf with the same action on level 0, but on the layer above the movie and that
did'nt work, I tried putting the nav bar inside each .swf but the the buttons won't jump to the next scene, because each swf only has one scene the main movie has three. I also tried loading the .swf's in level 1 and the nav in level 0, but then the swf doesn't show up.

Essentially I need to make one movie of multiple loaded swf's with another swf of the navigation on each???

Thanks for any help.

you should be able to load the nav into a higher level, say 5 and give the buttons in the nav bar the following actions:

on (release) {
tellTarget ("_level0/&quot {
gotoAndPlay ("scene-name", 1);
}
}

I am assuming you only want to target the main-movie with the nav bar, you're post got a bit confusing.

This is what the script in my main movie looks like, I am loading two swf's, navigation on level 1. To keep it simple, the navigation is two buttons "previous" and "next".

Load Movie ("X.swf", 0)
Load Movie ("nav.swf", 1)

When I try to set button actions in my nav.fla I am unable to select Go to and play "previous or next scene"

On (Press)
Begin Tell Target ("_level0/&quot
Go to and Play ()
End Tell Target
End On

Katie and I solved a problem related to this a while back, I'll go find the thread and get back to you. The conclusion of that thread was that you don't have to target (goto) a scene name, you can simply target a frame-label as Flah doesn't seem to associate frame labels with scenes, ie: when you target a frame-label on the main timeline, you target the frame-label regardless of which scene it is in.

Give it a go, I'll go and find the thread.

You can always try setting a frame number... i.e. frame 1 or 2 for scene 1, and frame 33 for scene 2 if obviously scene 1 lasts 32 frames!
