I’m doing a site and they want to have a page flip interface for their portfolio. We chose the FlippingBook component as the best solution.
I’ve built the book in such a way that each page is a SWF that is supposed to load once the user gets to that page. I set up the parameters of the component so that the pages are loaded as the user flips through the book (as opposed to loading everything first).
My problem is, there are animations on many of the SWFs and they seem to be playing once the book loads. Setting “Load Pages on Demand” (in the component parameters) to true doesnt seem to be doing what I thought it should.
Once I get to a page where there is an animation, the animation has already played and I dont get the chance to see it happening. It seems like all of them start playing once I load the first page (which also has an animation and is the only one that I can see).
So, is there a way to get the pages to NOT load until they are completely flipped over in the book? Do I need to use ActionScript on each SWF page, to tell it to not play until it is loaded? Or, do I need to script something in the main book SWF? Or both? If so, um, any hints?
I’m really lost at the moment and any help would be truly appreciated.
