[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica][SIZE=2]I have a header with tab buttons— When you are on a certain page the coorisponding tab is a different color(as a locator).
Right now I have like, 7 or 8 different headers that are the same thing minus the colored tab of the current page.
Is there a way to code the flash so that I only need one header, but still keep the off-colored buttons when on the coorisponding page?
Apparently, from what I have gathered I need to [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica][SIZE=2]Send a variable to the SWF from the embedding HTML using FlashVars or SWFObjects’ ‘addVariable’ method etc so the SWF knows which tab/color to use.
But, I have no ideal where to start…uugggggg.:h:
[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica][SIZE=2]
Any Suggestions???
I really, really need to figure this out.
Thanks in advance,
