loading movies and levels.......

[funkymonk]

Question:

Can I load a movie into level_1 of a loaded movie or do I have to load them all into the main movie...?

:-I

If the answer is yes, you can, then does that mean if I unload (close) the movie on level_1 of the main movie, all movies loaded into that will unload (close) also....?

I'm sure it can't be that easy, can it..?

Do you want to load a movie on _level1 of the movie loaded in _level1, from the main movie?
Would have to test it!

It could probably be done from within the loaded movie on _level1 of the main movie... And then, when unloading the movie on _level1 of the main movie, my guess would be that you'd be unloading all of them!

I just tried loading movie(b) into level_1 of loaded movie(a) (which is in level_1 of the main movie) and it replaced movie(a). So I guess you can't load a movie into a loaded movie, not the way I'm doing it anyway.

It was just a thought, basicaly this would have helped me when I close/unload the movie in level_1 (of the main movie) by closing all of it's own loaded movies. I guess now I'll have to unload them individually, won't have that many at a time anyway. funkymonk B-)

From my testing, this morning, you can load a movie in another level of a loaded movie in another level of the main movie... But it has to already exist, before you can do so!
So you could load movie(b) into level_1 of loaded movie(a) (which is in level_2 - 2 for sake of clarity - of the main movie) with something like:
_level2._level1.loadMovie("mymovie.swf"

The problem is that if you unload _level2, you have no more control over mymovie.swf which will still display.
So before unloading _level2, you must first unload (or at least make it invisible) mymovie.swf with something like:
_level2._level1.unloadMovie("mymovie.swf"
Or...
_level2._level1._visible = false;

Regards,

Right. I had a play around last night and loading them all into the main movie doesn't create any (or too many) problems for the way that I want it to work. I've only just started with the load movie stuff so don't want to over complicate myself just yet.

Cheers for your help old. funkymonk B-)
