    Default External Movie issues

    In the "Portfolio" section of my website (www.thebellstudio.com) only one link works ("Ads"). I used the same coding type for all links to their respective movies so I don't understand. What's even weirder is that everything looks perfect when I preview it on my computer. Here is the coding I used:

    on (release) {
    unloadMovieNum(2);
    }

    on (release) {
    loadMovieNum("Other.swf", 2);
    }

    What am I doing wrong?
    Please be delicate with your explanation, I am not that advanced in coding.

    Thanks A Bunch!

    Hi,

    I took a quick scan of your site and it seems to be working. All of the links seem to work for me. There are several ways to load a movie with flash. Your using levels. I tend to prefer to load to a movieclip holder. It gives you more control over the loaded movies as you can control the movieclip hoders properties....._x,_y,height,width,_alpha,etc...Eit her way,... loading to a level or to a container movieclip, you dont really need the unload method. Any content loaded into the level or container clip will replace the current content on the level or in the clip. The preferred method of loading an external .swf.....

    _root.mcName.loadMovie("someMovie.swf");

    I figured everything out earlier this morning. Four of my links had caps.
    It was a case sensitivity error. Thanks for your reply though.
