Hello!
I’d like to note that I’ve serached through the forum, but I haven’t stumbled across an advise that would help me with my problem. That is mainly because every post that I’ve read are about using a single transition, not multiple.
I’ve been using Flash MX for a while and I’m used to masking with shape/motion tween. I think that it’s safe to assume that a transition can be made using a shape tween with a mask for the IN - effect and reversing the frames for the OUT - effect. The problem is that I don’t know how to code these transitions in between the different sections of a site.
Lets assume tha asite has four different sections and respectively four different buttons : Main, Info, Portfolio and Contacts for example. The Main page would open with a transition and when you’d click any of the remaining buttons you’d get a closing transion that is unique for the Main section and after that move to a different section that also has its unique opening and closing transitons.
I think it would be wise to make each section into a different movieclip (so 4 different mc’s in a single .fla) that holds both of the transitions and the content. Then again, after reading a tutorial here in Kirupa’s loading movies externally seems to work fine, but the thing is that the tutorial uses just a single transition.
I’d really appriciate if someone would take the time and help me out with this!
