FLASH: Load/Unload

[Rick Koch]

Hi All,


In my quest to get a better understanding of load/unload and tell targeting,

I've given myself this assignment and am having a bit of trouble.


I have two movies A and B (not movie clips but movies).  A has two buttons -

one to load movie B and the other to unload movie B.  This works. Later in

movie A, I have three labeled frames at (and called) 45, 50 and 55.


Movie B is a simple drop down menu. ie. you roll over the menu A button and a

drop down shows two option buttons, 1 and 2.  I want to be able to click on

the Option 2 button (in movie B) and have it go to frame 45 in movie A.


I'm guesing that Option 2 button's action simply needs to tell target movie

A, but I don't think I have the syntax right.  Can someone help me? (I'm not

really even sure which movie is level 0 or 1 and why.  Is it simply that the

first .swf that I call up when testing (and in this case, that has to be

movie A), by default is level 0?)


The whole idea is to be able to get  a navigational menu out of your way  by

loading and unloading its movie.  Is this a viable technique?  Is there a

better way to do it?


TIA,


Rick K.
