FLASH: Load Movie Questions.

[Chad Byers]

Hello Folks,


I have a movie which loads several different movies into different levels at the

same time.


The cast:

Level 0, My main movie.

Level 2, A movie with a draggable, collapsable textbox (with six total buttons)

Level 30, A movie which controls my cursor animation, six characters which

follow the cursor.


First question:  The cursor movie loads and starts first.  When Level 2 comes

in, the cursor animation crawls.  When I collapse the textbox in Level 2, the

cursor animation works perfectly.  If I expand Level 2 thereafter, the cursor

still works fine.  What could be causing the cursor to crawl only when the Level

2 movie is first displayed in full aspect?


Second question:  I have deduced that one possible fix would be to load the

movie with a directive to go to its collapsed state first, thus skipping the

problem above.  I had thought that this would be accomplished with the following

script:


Load Movie ("about.swf", 2)

Begin Tell Target ("_level2")

      Go to and Stop ("WindowClosed")

End Tell Target


It don't werk.  I am not very experienced with Tell Target.  What am I missing?


Thanks!
