LoadMovie 2

[tomhughes]

I have about 15 movies which are approz 3MB in size, mostly due to the sound part. Each movie is basically a powerpoint presentation with narration added. What I want to do is load the movies while the first movie is playing. I am loading the movies in decreasing layers, so that:
Movie1 on layer 15
Movie2 on layer 14
Movie3 on layer 13
etc.

After Movie1 ends I want to unload it, and start movie2 playing. Since each movie has sound, I have to add a stop action to the first fram of each movie. What is the best way to get the next movie to start playing at frame 2??????

if the narration ending is the signal to start the next movie then use

mysound.onSoundComplete = function() { gotoAndStop(2)};

Bill - I put this script at the last frame of the first movie. The first movie just plays again.

I would rather have some kind of script that references a level than a sound if possible, since it would be applicable to many applications.

yes it would target frame 2 of the movie playing if the code is in the movie...change the path to _root.gotoandstop and that would solve that...as to targeting a level let me think about that one...ill get back i anything comes to mind

 

[billwatson]

never tried but this may work

_level2.gotoAndPlay(2);
