Hello, I am an uber n00b to flash AS3. And it is not my intention to sound like a complete moron, but honestly, I have had a hard enough time figuring out just how to load an external .swf into my main file! And now my friend is asking me if I could please add a button within the external .swf which will unload itself and load a new on in its place...
I have looked around in the forums for an answer for a while now and I believe it is time for me to break down, admit defeat, and ask for help.
Can someone please tell me it's not that difficult..? Surely it is possible...
Thank you in advance for any advice at all! I am looking forward to the time when I can post a response here!
