Loading external swf integration with timeline

[joshhowenstine]

View the header on <SNIP> to get an idea of what I am trying to do. Its really just a simple slide show of images that fade in and out. They load extenally using holder.loadmovie("http://www.example.com/flash/image_1.swf")

the problem is that how I have them loading is on a timeline soo since they all dont load in the same time after a few minutes they foul up. <SNIP>

I have been over thinking this so much im not sure i am even approaching this the right way. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks-J

Its probably not using a timeline rather its done with actionscript and ([probably)the setInterval() function allthough there are a few actionscript ways to do it.

Thanks I will look into the setinterval command, any one else have any suggestions of how to structure this.

Hi -
Since we can't see your ex., why not send some code snippets, so we can find out what's going on / what you're going for, here?

Is it a timing problem - in that you're trying to match the loaded .swf's with something going on in the main t-line? Or are certain actions not working as you expect them to - a path issue?

One thing I've started doing is to add:
mnTLine = this;
to the _root scripts, and a different var name for the loaded .swf's timeline...that way, I don't need to use _root as a reference [though _level0 does pretty well] at all and risk the chance of path prob's.

Sorry if that was completely unhelpful,
El
