change button function depending on which swf is loaded

[un4given]

I have a pre loader that loads in a swf and in the preloader is a NAV bar and a forward and previous button.

 

Is there a way to change the function depending on which swf is loaded?

 

like: if SWF "page1" is loaded forward_btn = function.

 

I think this makes sense..

Sure, just use conditional logic. Either re-point your event listeners when you load a new swf or use conditional logic inside your handler..

 

if (swfLoader.name == "page1") {
   //do stuff...
} else if (swfLoader.name == "page2") {
  //do stuff...
}

I tried the codee ou have suggested but got the error:

 

Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 14 1119: Access of possibly undefined property name through a reference with static type Class.

 

 

below is the code I have used

 

 

var page1loader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("page1.swf", {name:"pone", container:this});
var page2loader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("page2.swf", {name:"ptwo", container:this});


page1loader.load();


button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gogo);

function gogo(evt){
if (SWFLoader.name == "pone") {

   page1loader.unload();
page2loader.load();

} else if (SWFLoader.name == "ptwo") {

  page2loader.unload();
  page1loader.load();

}
}

you need to tell each SWFLoader to have an eventHandler for onComplete, only when that event fires will you know which loader just loaded.

once you can detect that, you can set up a variable to store the name of the loader

 

 

 

http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/tween/ ... oader.html

 

 

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.loading.*;
import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;

var page1loader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("page1.swf", {name:"pone", container:this, onComplete:completeHandler});
var page2loader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("page2.swf", {name:"ptwo", container:this, onComplete:completeHandler});

page1loader.load();





//variable to track recently loaded SWFLoader's name
var loadedSwf:String;

function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
    trace(event.target.name + " is complete!");
    loadedSwf = event.target.name

}

 

 

 

then your button handler will be able to use the conditional logic necessary to move on

 

 

button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gogo);

function gogo(evt){
  if (loadedSwf == "pone") {

   page1loader.unload();
  page2loader.load();

} else if (loadedSwf == "ptwo") {

  page2loader.unload();
  page1loader.load();

}
}

glad it worked out for you.

One more question.

 

is it possible to find out which SWF is loaded and unload it? rather then:

page3loader.unload();

 

is would be for my nav which consists of a lot of links

[Carl]

you already know which loader just finished loading because you are storing its name in loadedSwf.

just do:

 

LoaderMax.getLoader(loadedSwf).unload();
