for Loop help with Navigation and loadMovie

Money!

Nice work. loadMovieNum?

It loads the movie into a layer instead of a target. They've changed it to stop the ambiguity in the functions. I don't really use Flash much any more so it's hard to keep track of all of the changes.

Glad it's finally working!

Hey man,

Got another one for you.

I'm trying use the MovieClipLoader class to load up a swf and have it start at a particular frame. Such as:

var myloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myloader.addListener(this);
 
myloader.onLoadComplete = function(target:MovieClip) {
target.gotoAndPlay ("Start")
};

myButton_mc.onRelease=function(){
myloader.loadClip("myexternalmovie.swf", this._parent.holder_mc);
}

Here is what we got working last night:

var menuArray:Array = [{mc:p1, name:"Hardin & Luckett (Marana)", label:"HardinLuckett" },
                       {mc:l1, name:"Tucson", label:"TucsonAZ" }];

for(var i:Number = 0; i<menuArray.length; i++){
var btn:MovieClip = menuArray[i].mc;
    btn.btnMC.btnText.text = menuArray[i].name;
    btn.queue = i;
    btn.onRelease = function(){
        toggleButtons(this);
        loadMovieNum(menuArray[this.queue].label.concat('.swf'), 4);
    }
}


var selectedButton:MovieClip;

function toggleButtons(btn:MovieClip):Void{
    if (selectedButton) {
        selectedButton.gotoAndPlay("Out");
        selectedButton.enabled = true;
    }
    btn.enabled = false;
    selectedButton = btn;
}

The Bold underline text is where I would imagine most of the magic happens once again. How Would I place the MovieClipLoader into this and have that swf go play that particular frame label?

Thanks in advance!

Try:

var menuArray:Array = [{mc:p1, name:"Hardin & Luckett (Marana)", label:"HardinLuckett" },
                       {mc:l1, name:"Tucson", label:"TucsonAZ" }];
for(var i:Number = 0; i<menuArray.length; i++){
var btn:MovieClip = menuArray[i].mc;
    btn.btnMC.btnText.text = menuArray[i].name;
    btn.queue = i;
    btn.onRelease = function(){
        toggleButtons(this);
 
        var movieContainer = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("movieClip", 5); // You could use this.getNextHighestDepth() instead of astatic depth number
        var movieLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
        var listenerObject = new Object();
         
          listenerObject.onLoadComplete = function () {
          movieClip.gotoAndPlay(1);
          };
        movieLoader.addListener(listenerObject);
        movieLoader.loadClip(menuArray[this.queue].label.concat('.swf'), movieContainer);

    }
}

var selectedButton:MovieClip;
function toggleButtons(btn:MovieClip):Void{
    if (selectedButton) {
        selectedButton.gotoAndPlay("Out");
        selectedButton.enabled = true;
    }
    btn.enabled = false;
    selectedButton = btn;
}
