WORKING WITH TIMELINES

Question

Hi
I have a game designed in flash using the Object Oriented Approach. This implies I have various classes with a main class.
I also have two versions of the game collaborative and non-collaborative which can be palyed using three different game controllers. so in total I have 6versions as shown below:
collaborative palyed with gamepad
collaborative played with wiimote
collaborative played withbalance board
non- collaborative palyed with gamepad
non-collaborative played with wiimote
non-collaborative played withbalance board
Now I want to have a screen with links to all these verions for example when I run the game I want to get an intro screen with the versions written on it and then with button clicks play the particular version I want.  Can I do this on the Timeline. if possible what is the procedure?

Answer 1

in your new main swf:
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
addChild(loader);
var a:Array=[collaborative_palyed_with_gamepad_btn,collaborative_played_with_wiimote_btn,coll aborative_played_withbalance_board_btn,non__collaborative_palyed_with_gamepad_btn,non_coll aborative_played_with_wiimote_btn,non_collaborative_played_withbalance_board_btn];  // <-create those movieclip btns
for(var i:int=0;i<a.length;i++){
MovieClip(a[i]).addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickF);
MovieClip(a[i]).ivar=i;
MovieClip(a[i]).buttonMode=true;
function clickF(e:MouseEvent):void{
var ivar:int=MovieClip(e.currentTarget).ivar;
loader.load(new URLRequest(a[ivar].split("_btn").join(".swf"));  // assuming your swfs are named collaborative_palyed_with_gamepad.swf (sic) etc
