Changing Scence (MC)
Okay, here is my problem. I'm making a game that you can interact with, and im not sure how to do this with the movie clip or button... whatever you use. What I want to do is to be able to click on an object, and that object will lead you to another scene, where other objects are available. So lets say ere is a picture of a restaurant. I want to be able to click on the restaurant, and it leads me inside. Then it will show, the washroom, order place, tables, etc... these will then be accessible. Will somebody help me please!

Thanks,

hey,

i am creating a flash menu which is basically the front end for several seperate flash movies. In the menu flash file there are 4 seperate scenes.

In the seperate flash files there needs to be a button to go to a specific scene in the menu. Here is the code i have now, that isn't working.

//End Behavior

gotoAndStop("flashnarration", "narration");
}

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Linking Movies V.s. Linking Levels (swf's)
I was reading about the different types of sites that can be created with Flash. Two of those struck me as very interesting- linking movies (which is supposed to be useful for actionscripters) and linking levels, or swf's. I was wondering what are the pros and cons of both of these methods, since I haven't decided which one I will use for the development of my future site. Thanks in advance.

Image Linking - Text Linking
Hi everyone

I need some help in what probably is simple a function.

I want to be able to make someone else change texts and picture on a flash-based homepage.

1) I want them to be able to upload a .txt-file and then it should change the text in a specific textbox.

2) the same thing with images

How do I do this?

i've been trying to use an empty movieclip and then I guess he sript should be something like:

empty_movieclip.load ??? ("text.txt", 1);
}

and

empty_movieclip.load ??? ("image.jpg", 1);
}

can someone clearify this?

I can't make it work...

best regards,
Skaatar

Linking To A PDF
I'm creating an CD using Flash, and have a link to a PDF which also resides on the CD. Oddly enough, the PDF launches properly on a mac, but not on the PC, even though Acrobat is installed.

Here's what I coded to launch the PDF:

on (release) {getURL ("../PDF/secrets.pdf", "_blank");}

Any suggestions are most welcome.
thank you!!

Linking To .txt
In Flash 5

Is there anyway using variables that I can link to .txt files? If so, how about certain parts within one file? Also, is there any file size benefits to doing this, or should I just type it all internally. I'm wondering also which would be easier for somebody else who doesn't know the program well, but would like to edit it.

Thanks people!

Linking .FLA's/swf's
hi

I have four swf files that i want to be linked. I tried attaching a 'load movie' action to the end of the first file and put the name of the second file in the space where it says URL. This doesn't work and the first file just loops. What action do i have to use to link to the second swf? All files will eventually be in the same directory.

Do i have to put the name of the fla or the swf that i want to link to?

hope thats clear
thanks

any help?

i am wondering how to properly link html files within a flash swf file.

I am on a IBM not on a MAC

SO FAR: i have a projector that loads swf files into it. for example;

the projector is in the first level
D:projector.exe

it calls swfs in folders loaded and played in the projector
D:websiteswfsani.swf

"ani.swf" has a button in it linking to an html page
D:websiteworksiteindex.html

NOTE: This will be burned on a cd and made into a kiosk. How would i tell both IBM and MAC computers that the drives don't matter and that they should look and load from within the folders specified.

so far works great on PC but not on mac. how do i fix this problem?

The other problem is this, mac computers do not load the ani.swf file into the projector but on pc it does. How do i fix that problem?

Thank you

Linking Swf
Hi, this is my first post here. I'm interested is there any way to change link in swf file, of course without flash.
For example, if you have banner ads campaign, you can't do all the time and change that links for affiliate people. Is there any chance to do it without flash. I know that is not possible to put in html table, and also know that is some software called URL Editor but I don't have it! If you have any solutions, I'll be greatfull.

Can anyone help me with this

if you go to http://www.guerilla-records.com/index_flash.html you'll see my main page, i have taken all the links from the top of that page and placed them into a seperate swf file...

that swf file is then going to go into a seperate html page... what i want, is when the user clicks one of those links on the seperate html page, i want to load the same content as if it were being clicked on the main page, if that makes sense?

Linking Swf's
Is there some way, maybe in powerpoint, to have a group of maybe 4-6 swf's who's order could be interchanged depending on your audience? Is there any way else to put swf's together so they can be customized? I know the swf's themselves cannot be customized, but is there a platform they can be inserted into so that the presentation itself can be? any help would be appreciated.
