Hey everyone!
Here is what i need to do…
On my site, i have 3 different Flash Files. Each playing a different part .eg text, content, menu. (because of the design, i can’t have just 1 file, plus i want 3 seperate ones~!!!)
Now what i want to try and do, is have the MENU(swf1) target a scene or frame in the CONTENT flash file(swf2)
So that when you click on about us button, it will target (eg.) frame 3 of SWF2, which contains that information!!
ANd also have the MENU(SWF1) be able to also target frames in TEXT(SWF3)
Bassically im guesisng its passing variables to and from multiple movie clips!
i have no where to start.
Has anyone done anthing similar?
or has a FLA i can look at?
or can post some code!!!
Thanks agian KIRUPA!!!
