hi guys

thanks anyways billwatson

by the way , i am getting an error opening url file message with oldnewbie's code. all the swf are in the same folder.

- i labeled the frame in the swf to be loaded

- on (release) {
loadMovie ("bball2.swf?frame=five",emptyclip);
}

what can be the problem???

[billwatson]

this will not work in authoring

you have to test it on the web

then all will be fine

 

[presdes]

i apologize for not making this clear.
these swf movies will go on a cd.
is the code much different that oldnewbie???

[billwatson]

hmm.....yes i dont think that passing a query string will work with a cd.

possible workaround

declare a global variable in frame 1 of the main movie

_global.framename = undefined;

then use that


on (release) {
loadMovie ("bball2.swf",emptyclip);
_global.frameName = "five";
}


then in the main movie


if(_global.frameName==undefined){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(_global.frameName);
}

in the frame five or whatever set the global variable back to undefined so you can use it again.

Hi billwatson

the above code did not work . do you have any other suggestions.

another problem:

the mailto link works fine if the movies are on the harddrive. however on the disc it does not work. i am assuming this has something to do with the path for the outlook object.
do you have any solution to this?
