Okay, so here is the idea.
On a flash time line we’ve got this movie, it plays and then on the last frame there is action script to stop it. (prevent loopage)
However, after the movie stops there are a couple of movie clips that loop forever, one of which is a spinning navigation. The navigation spins and spins for eternity, until you mouse over it. When you mouse over it it stops spinning. Theoretically you can then click on the button, which will lead to the page, that you want to go to.
Now, making the buttons lead to the page, that’s not a problem. The problem is, that before I want it to jump to another page, I want there to be a…how do we see…entrance animation to play.
So like, if you click on blue page, a blue square will fade in on top of the button you just pressed, it will grow larger and cover the page, then bam, new page loads (new page would be designed in blue, thus you get the idea?).
I know how to use a button to load movie, to make a complete flash site, but I’m not doing that, I want the pages it jumps to to be in html. But I know about doing that too.
What I don’t know how to do is, make the entrance animation show up where the button currently is. Because the navigation is spinning and because it pauses on mouse over, the buttons are never in the same place. I know the loadmovie command can load a movie on top of this one, but it generally just throws it up there, or you can specify a point, but how can you specify that it load starting where the button is?
Any suggestions? I’d rather do it with a movieclip than an external flash movie, but either one will suffice.
Thanks.
