Newbie here…
I experiencing a couple of problems with a demo I’m working on. Here is the lowdown:
I have an interface that has a 3 button nav section on top. Within the interface are 2 empty movie clip containers (Movie1 and Movie2). Movie1 will house a movie that will load bullet points at specific time intervals that are in synch with Movie2. Movie2 will house a Captivate SWF file. Each button will load 2 separate movies.
Here is the problem that I’m having:
-
When you click on button one, it should load Movie1 and Movie 2 into the respective empty movie clip containers.
-
Movie2 is a longer movie and I would like to synch bullet points in Movie1 to certain times in Movie2. Ex. Let’s say that 30 seconds into Movie2, the narrator mentions “Features”. At this point, Movie1 should reveal the “Features” bullet point and then repeat the same process for the next bullet point.
I managed to get the delay to work using the following code:
stop();
function wait()
{
gotoAndPlay(40);
clearInterval(myTimer);
}
myTimer = setInterval(wait, 2000);
----(this repeats for the other bullet points)
The problem is that if I click on a button while this delay playback is running, it seems to mess up the delay sequence and starts to loop and even fade out/in.
I thought maybe the code used on the button was causing the problem, so I figured that maybe I’ll just unload the movie and call it back when any button is pressed, but nothing is working.
on (release) {
unloadMovie(_root.navClip);
_root.navClip.loadMovie(“testNav.swf”, 1);
_root.containerClip.loadMovie(“captest.swf”);
}
- When Movie2 is done playing, both Movie1 and Movie2 must be removed simultaneously using a fade out effect.
This has become pretty frustrating as I haven’t used Flash for close to a year.
I have a link to site where you can see what I’m talking about. I also have the FLA’s if you would like to check it out. http://giantkillerdesign.com/flashDemo/
I appreciate any help as my frustration level is going through the roof.
