Hello world, I'm relatively new to Action Scripting and I'm working in Flash to learn. I know Stack Overflow isn't really for the inexperienced, but maybe you guys can help anyway?

Problem 1

I would like to play out a movie that has been loaded (if it has been loaded) when another button is clicked.

It is my understanding, I can do this by adding AS to the SWF file at the point I want to play it out (labeled "init_out") and variables to my base file.

Summary: btn_GD --- btn_IL --- btn_CN

btn_CN plays a transitional animation ("init_in") which changes the base of the scene.

Once btn_GD or btn_IL has been clicked btn_CN needs to play ("init_out") in an external swf to return the scene so they can play their movies, which are also external.


Problem 2

My second problem is (on a different button), I have a loaded Movie Clip which unloads itself, but once it is unloaded I would like it to show another (internal) and/or a static page.

This is a transitional animation which plays and it does not go to another scene, but shows a different "flat" of the file which contains buttons returning one back to the main scene.

Though it's exeternal I'm not opposed to having that movieclip remain up as long as I'd be able to have it click and return back to the main menu section.

Summary: btn_CT needs to both load an external SWF, unload said SWF, and arrive at mc_CT.


I hope that all makes sense!

I'm still very much learning, so don't hate me too much. I honestly want to learn all of this so anything you have is interesting to me.

If you have any questions I'm more than happy to answer them. Thanks in advance, Kat
