If it's just a placeholder page can't you just have a few quick tables with the images in, or if you can do them use divs.

flashkit.com loads of help on there mate


Plus as above, div's and some CSS would be a much easier way to do it.

kk

if you look at my current website www.neilfreestone.co.uk

the website is built from a series of pages that all load into the very first page, they load into the space under the menu as you will see when you click buttons etc.

i am using this same type of method again but am unsure / can't remember how to create the placeholder box and coding,

i still have the files from the current website but am struggling to work it out, am sure i have the coding write but am just missing something

When you mean a series of pages you mean SWF's ?

Sorry just trying to understand how you have done it.

Also are you using levels and is it AS2?
 
  Rav4
Attach your SWF file so I know which syntax you are using :)

Just do a good search for loading external SWF files

:)

Why don't u do it with a normal placeholder page and some CSS?

looks to be a very nice site mate.

i like and dont like flash really, it does look cool but i think its kinda waste of time in portfolios for a graphic designer etc.. just slows things down, people just want to see the work and the information as soon as.

Still, looks f**king cool though mate, keep up the good work.

cheers sambo, the new design of the site is totally different though, all the work will be on the front page, no more thousands of pages

gabi....how the fook do i attach the fla...lol

if you want the coding from the file here it is

on the main page i have 2 layers, one is the main page then a layer for the action script...this is the coding for it

this.createEmptyMovieClip
("placeholder",1)
stop()

then on the buttons on the page i obviously have the relevant file names but in this coding

on (release) {
placeholder.loadmovie("about2.swf")
this.imagebox_mc._visible=0;
}

i just need to know how to create the placholder area.....

the coding which you have provided has created a placeholder then you have created a function for a button to load the SWF file into.

Look at your inbox, send me an email with the file and everything else, I will sort it out for you and tell you how it was done. Won't be until tomorrow though.

Sorry have not done flash recently so all out the window :)

Thanks
