Situation:
Multiple HTML pages with an animated flash display panel.
Each HTML page contains a seperate swf file.
Problem:
The user needs to be able to toggle sound on/off
and that setting needs to remain when the user views the other pages.
Solution ???
I have been trying to use ‘shared object’ in conjunction with ‘stopAllSounds’
with little success. Is this the right approach, if so how can I make it work, if no, can someone please point me in the right direction?
pop-up flash music bar, or flash music player side-app, so the other movies closing etc, never effect the music, thats 1 way, is there a reason why you need to seperate each swf into html pages ? Have ever u tried loading external swf flash files into flash movies, that could help you structurize your whole project better, aswell as manage music, like just say if you did that, you could just put the music control in the mainmovie, while the mainmovie also loads external flash files, that load sections into the content area. So from the mainmovie, you would have a music control, plus load content into your main flash file, depending on what you are trying to do.
The swf files are seperate as they are placed in different html documents.
Navigation on the site is created (very basically) by linking between these HTML pages.
The idea of a side app to control all of the sound and music is cool.
In this instance, the sounds are FX for animations which introduce the area of the site. The sounds will need to sync with this animation. The only control which is needed is sound on/off, ideally the button for this should be associated with / located with the swf animations which the sound backs.
If I turn the sound off on the swf placed in the home page, i still want the sound to be off when I visit the next HTML page with its own placed flash element.
Can flash movies read / write cookies? or is there an equivalent?
