if you'ld work with external swfs (can be quicker to load the whole site/app then)

on frame:

yourbuttonormc.onRelease = function(){
this.createEmptyMovieClip("newmcname",1);
newmcname._x = xxx; //x position
newmcname._y = xxx; //y position
newmcname._width = xxx; //width
newmcname._height = xxx; //height
newmcname.loadMovie("content/externalswf.swf");
}

yourclosebuttonormc.onRelease = function(){
newmcname.unloadMovie();
}

or something like that...

not a bad idea.. Oli i might do that for the bigger ones.. the little like 3 kb ones i don't think are worth it tho.

if you'ld work with external swfs (can be quicker to load the whole site/app then) what the **** are you talking about man? LOLOLOLOLOL, however you learn't how to make a item visible or not, its wrong and stupid.

on frame:

yourbuttonormc.onRelease = function(){
this.createEmptyMovieClip("newmcname",1);
newmcname._x = xxx; //x position
newmcname._y = xxx; //y position
newmcname._width = xxx; //width
newmcname._height = xxx; //height
newmcname.loadMovie("content/externalswf.swf");
}

yourclosebuttonormc.onRelease = function(){
newmcname.unloadMovie();
}

or something like that...

No idea why your doing that.... lul

Click here for your lovely pleasure of having the source to view. (*.fla)

Heres what I did...

Placed it into a function on _root layer, so its easier to access and change. Added a toggle so I didn't have to change anything if it was hidden etc

function hideshow() {
    if (habConsole._visible == true) {
        habConsole._visible = false;
    }
    else
    {
        habConsole._visible = true;
    }
}

Just call the function to hide or show it - easy... I even added a nice drag/drop on the console for you.

Becouse if he has larger files to import, it will be alot quicker to load them trough a external swf.

Ofcourse for a smaller content this is not needed but it can be much quicker for larger content.
