navigating through levels AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGG

[butlerps]

Hi All
Before I explain the problem, I will give you the background. I have a site that is 500k which is like pulling teeth to download on a 56k modem. It consists of a floor plan of my gallery and when you click on a room it takes you to a new page, with me so far. On each of the pages I have a drop down menu to navigate to the other rooms. So being all new to this I figured I'd split each room into a seperate .swf then use loadMovieNum to load each room onto level 1 of my main floor plan. I figured that I could have the drop down menu on level2 as my navigation, so when you pressed a button to go to a different room it would load another .swf onto level1.....Does that make sense!!!! or am I going about this completely the wrong way?? The problem that I have is that I can not get the buttons on the menu on level2 to load a new .swf onto level1 any ideas???

What code are you using to load?

Something like the following should normally work:

on (press) {
_level1.loadMovie("your.swf"
} Regards,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly
when you press a button in the menu on level2 it puts a movie name (information.swf) into a variable called 'room' I then execute the following code

loadMovieNum(room, 1);

I figured that would put information.swf onto level1 of my main parent movie

Unfortunately I am at work, I will try your code when I get home.
What time zone are you in oldnewbie, I am eastern (gmt-5 hours) will you be checking the forum in the next 6 hours or so???

Cheers mate

I found a script error in my menu on level 3, fixed it and it all seems to work great...THANKS

I guess the only downside about using the loadmovie command to load my pages onto different levels is that 'Show streaming' only works on the parent, not the children (I think that's the right terminology to use!!)

Anyway, thanks buddie
