Sequence After Button Press [renamed]
hi flash guru's

working on my new site and have a navigational issue. i've uploaded just the basic navigational elements to keep it simple here:

http://hamptondowson.com/example/lay...RotateTest.swf

if you click on the colored squares, they rotate and the main content changes accordingly. it seems that this motion doesn't always go smoothly on many machines as two things happening at once.

what i'd like is for a user to click a button, the squares rotate and THEN the content annimates to next section. as opposed to both rotation and content annimation happening at once.

here's the FLA if anyone would be so kind as to offer me a solution:
http://hamptondowson.com/example/lay...RotateTest.fla

the main issue is obviously keeping motion nice and smooth so if my scripts could be streamlined, please advise.

thank you very much

Problems Fading A Button Using SetInterval [renamed]
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!??

OK, trying to fade out a button through a function. I've done this before but I'm tired and it's just not happening.

OK, there's a button named "button" and a movieclip named "fadeThis". The first frame of the root has the following code in it:

Code:
fading = function(image) {
_root[image]._alpha -= 5;
}
And the button, "button", has the following code in it:

Code:
on (release) {
fader = setInterval(_root.fading,10,fadeThis);
}
So WHY does the function fade the entire screen ("fadeThis" AND "button")??

Thanks

A Little Help With Loading Web Site Content With Button Click Please [renamed]
hi all!
i'm getting closer to my finished site just a few final glitches to clear up.

i have the main guts of the site load up and then when you click on a button i have action script that loads content upon release and the buttons stay put and the page loads up on the left hand side.
http://www.freewebs.com/ex_iled/

however, i do have a page (left side) that i want to have load when the initial page loads up for the first time (the home page). now the buttons and the pictures stay put during all page transitions, okay? so no reloading of those.
how do i get my home page (left side) to load at the same time as you first open the site and also to load if you were to press the home button without causing the buttons and the pics to reload again?

sorry, if this is hard to understand.
i know what the hell i'm trying to say, the question is do you understand what i'm saying!? lol!

thanks!

Cd Rom Issues [renamed]
Help!!, I'm not very good at scripting, and I have been trying all day to find the answer to this simple operation, so this is like a last hope. I am developing a cdrom, and I have a main page with 8 buttons, which I want the user to click where they want to go and navigate back to and from this page. Is it better to make each of the 8 sections on new scenes, or would a separate movie for each be better. I feel that a separate movie would be better as the file size is quite large on some of the sections, but i'm not sure and could really use some advice. If I do make separate movies, then please what is the script for the buttons to navigate to the movies (i guess i would be loading .swfs'). I really need some help with this please.

Help With Sound (renamed)
I tried performing this tutorial:
Creating a Volume Control Slider http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume_slider.htm

I added my song to the library and exported the file to my desktop. The swf file plays perfectly on my desktop...the slider, stop and play button all work. The problem arises when i upload to website. It appears on the site but it doesnt play. It only says that it is downloading song and just stays like that for a considerable amount of time. I cant understand why it works on the desktop and not on the website. I think it is a quick fix... can someone can just tell me what i am doing wrong?

Published Swf Is Way Too Big [renamed]
I need help publishing a .fla file.

any help is appreciated.

I've been toying some time now with Flash MX and websites, but never reach the point where I need to publish the .fla properly onto the net. I've reached that point now.

My problem is getting the final movie to work probaly in the browser. The final .swf movie is 2,81mb, because it contain a lot of pictures. Is that too much? When the .html and .swf is uploaded to ftp, the screen goes black in the browser, like the background color of the site, and it seems like taking forever to load the site and in the end nothing shows.

So what is the proper way to publish to fix this?

Preloader Problems [renamed]
OK - i'm having major preloader problems with Flash MX 2004 Pro...

Here's a link to a website i'm trying to put together for a friend:

http://www.kraitt.com/hypertouch/index.htm

After entering, you will immediately notice the following:

I cannot get a preloader to work for the infinite menu that loads when you click on "gallery 1" (i've tried every tutorial and every type of preloader you can imagine and nothing works). At the moment it simply has no preloader - can anyone show me one that will work?

When the infinite menu is loaded, you will also notice that the preloader for each thumbnail also doesn't work. When you click on any of the thumbnails, the loading bar appears complete immediately, and sits there until the image is loaded.

The main menu button (gallery 1) basically loads the infinite menu, which is an external swf, and the infinite menu itself loads all the main images which are also external swf's.

Can anyone please help me.... ???

External Swf's Not Working [renamed]
Ok This a bit hard to explain but here i go... I am doing a web site where i load external swf's. http://kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm

Now i have a button where i load a photo page where i amn using the tutorial making a photo galerry However I have multiple galerrys and i ran into the prob of loading a external swf with a button inside that external swf to go to a certain gallery.

If that doesn't makes sense just help with this lol. I then decided to have under that photo button a drop down menu where there are supposed to be 4 more buttons that when you click on them they load the exteral swf according to the gallery. However the code used in the loading of external swf is not working on the drop down buttons.

Does neone have any suggestions???

How To Add Text To The Tranistion Tut [renamed]
Hi,
I'm new around here and hoping someone might be able to help me with their actionscript knowledge.

I'm doing a project that involves loading external images and needs corresponding test to go with each pic. I'm basing the project off of the tutorial found here to load in the movies separately: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/p...transition.htm

What I need to do is find a way to have text for each photo transition in/out, separately from the photos. This way the text will transition while the pic loads separately. If anyone can let me know what I would need to alter from the files from the above tutorial, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
