By the way,
you might want to loop up the MovieClipLoader class, which is
somewhat very useful ;)
I personally recommend you this technique.
var mclListenerObj = new Object();
mclListenerObj.onLoadInit = function (target_mc:MovieClip) {
trace("loaded "+target_mc);
}
var mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.addListener(mclListenerObj);
mcl.loadClip("showcase.swf", showContainer_mc);
Lookup MovieClipLoader in the Help files. You get a list of all
available events (onLoadStart, onLoadProgress, onError, ..)
and more ;)
hth,

NP, did not see :P
So here is a copy of the reply I sent to your personal email for
everyone to rejoice :)
******
try
loadMovie("SeaBounty.swf", showContainer_mc);
and
loadMovie("showcase.swf", showContainer_mc);
Seems subtle, and is **abstract**, but loadMovie is either a global
function, or a method of the MovieClip object.
When calling myMovieClip.loadMovie("bob.swf"), you simply override
all the movieclip's parameters and properties. Consequently, after
the first showContainer_mc.loadMovie(...),
showContainer_mc.loadMovie's method gets deleted, overriden by the
new SWF being loaded at its place.
So when you try to call the method the second time (else
statement), it isn't there anymore.
By simply calling loadMovie("showcase.swf", showContainer_mc);
(without the myMC.loadMovie notation) and passing the link
reference (1st argument) and the container reference (2nd
argument), you get the new content everytime you want (or need).
Hth,
Cedric
Cedric, sorry I think I have sent my ealier reply to your personal
email address, my apologies
here is the code I use:
dropBtn.onPress = function() {
//make the showContainer_mc visible
showContainer_mc._visible = true;
dropBtn_txt.text = myName;
//trace(thisName);
if (myName == "sea bounty" && thisName == "brand
development") {
showContainer_mc.loadMovie("SeaBounty.swf"); // this
call works, sgtrtangely enough
} else {
showContainer_mc.loadMovie("showcase.swf"); // this one
is the one that does not work
}
loaded = true;
removeDropMenu();
};
The DropBtn are created dynamically and i make the fucntion call
from the constructor.
Cheers
JohnT
