How do I trigger an action when one swf is swapped for another?

Well, here I go again. I am able to perform a certain action when a particular .swf is loaded into a blank movie clip.

My question is, how do I reverse what I started and trigger another action when my particular .swf is being swapped out for another? I'm new at this so I don't really have any clue at all, especially in terms of ActionScript syntax...

You can can see what I mean at www.thekeelings.org/audible - Click on "Services" and then on "Graphic Design"

In the area where the Red bar is loading ---- I want to show this area when the graphic design page is displayed, then hide it when the user moves on to another.

Hmm, if that section is a movie clip you can use actionscript to change the alpha of the object, therefore "hiding" it.

It'd look something like this:

Code: Select all

on (release) { 
op = _root."mcname"._alpha; 
if (op>0) { 
_root."mcname"._._alpha = 0; 
} 
if (op<=0) { 
_root."mcname"._._alpha = 100; 
} 
}

You could also use the onload function or loadmovie I am sure as well, but I'll let you have some fun figuring that out. This should start you on the right path though.

Thanks getting me on the right track. I'll see what I can come up with.

Great, let me know if you run into any snags.

Here is another slightly different method to accomplish the Alpha Transparency effect. I make it super easy to understand and reuse over and over again. Article located here.
