i’m using the flippingbook.com component for a project and have a question (haven’t heard back from their support yet).
the component on the main stage has the instance name “flipbook”. it loads external swfs onto itself as you turn the pages. it comes with this function that lets you control the timelines of the external swfs from the main movie once they are loaded:
flipbook.onPutPage = function(i, page){
trace("Page number :" + i);
page.gotoAndPlay("anyFrame");
}
works great, but there’s one problem. it only lets you control the movie you turned to but not the page next to it. so like, if i’m on the cover and i turn the page, now there are two pages side by side right. i need both to "gotoAndPlay(“anyFrame”), but with the code they provide only the left side page plays. when i turn the page again and then go backward, now only the right side page animates but not the left one. it only controls the page you flipped to instead of both.
anyone have any ideas on how to make it animate both sides? i’ve been working on this like crazy and can’t come up with a solution. as far as i can see, “page” might refer to a clip inside the flipbook component, but if that’s the case i’m not sure why it wouldn’t control both swfs that are loaded within it. i tried giving the swfs different frame names and writing the above code as:
page.gotoAndPlay(“anyFrame1”);
page.gotoAndPlay(“anyFrame2”);
etc, but still only the one i flip to animates.
any help or advice would be REALLY appreciated! :tie:
