Hello everybody! This is my first post, and unfortunately much needed.
I’m designing a small presentation for a college website which will give basic information about the class programs available at the school. The design has a vertical navigation of 5 buttons along the left side of the stage, and I would like to have the animation appear behind that navigation.
Here’s the structure of the entire set of files:
- container.swf
- mainMenu.swf
- Scene00.swf
- SceneGD.swf
- SceneMM.swf
- SceneFD.swf
- SceneFM.swf
- SceneNT.swf
The navigation is in mainMenu.swf and is loaded into container.swf. When the movie starts, Scene00.swf is loaded behind the navigation. But, when I try to code in an action for any of the buttons to load the other scene files onto the stage, it doesn’t work.
Do i need to place the code in the timeline of mainMenu.swf or attach it to the buttons in mainMenu.swf… OR, do i need to place the actionscript in the container.swf file?
And what would code be? Any help is greatly appreciated.
By the way, I really don’t have any actionscript experience. So if you could explain things in “Barney-style” that’d be great. 
Thanks in advance,
Dave
