Ok, I have a bit of an issue:

I have two swf's in different html files. I want both of them to load before playing the first one, and than at the end of the first swf file, I want it to be redirected to my second html file (containing the second swf)

can anyone help me with the code to redirect the browser urls..and does anyone know how i would go about loading both the swf's before playing the first one?

thanks in advance.

well you CANNOT load both swfs unless they are on the same page since I'm not aware of any way to load another html file in the background... There are some browsers that can attempt to follow links and preload content but I've yet to see it work very well.

As for going to another page the actionscript code is
Code: [ Select ]
getURL("newpage.html");
If at first you don't succeed F1... If that doesn't work try Google!

I would make a container swf and then use AS to load both into that container so that its not dependent on the html page. That way you can do the preload as well by simply placing the second swf off the stage while the first one plays.

i do wanna know one thing... this is my code

Code: [ Select ]
b_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event: Event) {
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("5.html");
    navigateToURL(request, "_self");
    trace("works");
}
  1. b_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
  2. function myButtonFunction(event: Event) {
  3.     var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("5.html");
  4.     navigateToURL(request, "_self");
  5.     trace("works");
  6. }



when i export the swf through flash, i get the trace output and it opens my browser to open 5.html as desired..
but when i view the swf in its html file..it doesnt work? is there some kind of code i should include in the html?
