stuck with createNewMovieClip...

[uniB]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to battle my way through my first Actionscript based Flash site – a painful experience!

I'm stuck, much appreciate it if someone could help me out...

I have a movie clip with a button in it, the actionscript that controls that button is within the movie clip not on the main time line. When the button is clicked I want
the movie to be removed from the main timeline and two new movie clips to appear from the library.

I can get one movie to load in position but can't figure out for the life of me, how to get both movies to load. The code I have is currently like this (no laughing please!):

jewellery_bt.onRelease = function ():Void {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("jewelleryHolder", 1());
_root.jewelleryHolder.attachMovie("mc_jewellery", "mc_jewellery1", 1, {_x: 360, _y: 333})
_root.jewelleryHolder.attachMovie("minilink", "minilink11", 1, {_x: 460, _y: 233});
_root.Selector1.removeMovieClip();
};

Thanks

Do you have a URL I could take a look at? I can only guess what is wrong from what you have given me so far. I need the URL and if you don't mind upload the Fla so I could take a better look.

Thanks JacobHaug, I haven't actually uploaded it anywhere yet 'cause it's only half done, The FLA file is 1mb so I've put a link to it here as it's too large to upload http://www.dav-t.co.uk/cm.fla.zip. The bit that isn't working is in the mov called 'selector' amd the code is at the top.

Hope you can help!

Ok. As much as I would love to help you. It seems that I do not have the latest version of flash. Macromedia 8. Please export the flash file for Macromedia MX2004. Thanks in advance.

Thanks again for your help JacobHaug, I've saved it out again as an MX2004 file and replaced the file in the link above.

I am so sorry to keep asking you to do stuff. But I am at work. They won't let me unzip stuff here at work. Please just upload the Fla file. Thanks!!

[uniB]

Right you are, I've uploaded the unzipped version at: http://www.dav-t.co.uk/coll.fla

OK for some reason I am still getting a zip file. It is probably just security on this computer. I will check it when I get home. Thanks.

OK I am still getting zip files. I am now on my home computer. Check the files, something weird is going on.
