Loading external swf with no use of AS files

[jojo08]

Hi Susanne,
if you download the sample files of this thread, you'll see the code of main.fla .
You could create one array ( like my_buttons in the sample ) for each main button and populate the array with sub buttons.

Hey Flep, hey Susanne
I have the same problem. Susanne did you manage to solve your problem?
I also have 2 main buttons with each 2 sub buttons which each load a swf. with the first buttons it works fine, but with the 2nd button it works only half way. i can´t jump between the sub buttons once i used the first two sub buttons!
i think i can´t get the code right for the second array?
any idea???

Hello, how can I swap depths so that my menu is always visible and loaded content does not cover it. I have tried adding a function to the timeline like this:

function swap():void
        {
            swapChildren(holder_mc,menu_mc);
            swapChildren(holder_mc,timeline_mc);
        }

I get no output error, but still it does not work.
Buttons are contained inside menu_mc by the way.
I would really appreciate any help with this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I figured it out, I dunno if it's the best way to do it but at least it works.

I added this:

swapChildren(holder_mc,menu_mc);
swapChildren(holder_mc,timeline_mc);

after this:

addChild(holder_mc);

Right after the variables are initiated.

I had first incorporated the 2 swapChildren lines inside the onImageLoaded function, but only worked the first time, whenever I clicked on another button everything got swapped back. I wonder if anyone could point out the proper way to do this for me. I'm still a noob at AS3. Thanks!
