Alright, so I made this flash animation. At the end of the animation, I’d like it to turn into a webpage with a pull down menu, (which the movie would, of course, need to quit looping). Is there any tutorial that can guide me through this, or any bits of information you can give me to get me on the right track? This is for a school project due wednesday, so any replys would be great, thanks
what do u actually want? after the movie has finished playin do u want a html web page to open?
to stop a movie from looping select the frame at which u want it 2 stop at then select the actions then select movie controls then stop()
hope this helps!

I just want to create a flash website with an animated intro…but, i dont know if i can do that all in one flash document or what. Yes that helps alot, thank you!

First of all, remember to make a preloader for your animation!!!
Just let the animation go to the next scene or frame in your Flash movie, although it would be a lot better to split your movie up into different, smaller movies for each page/section.
Check out Kirupa’s tuts
I can’t find it right now, but he has an example movie anjd tut explaining how to use loadMovie to load each page into one main movie . . . .
It helped me out a stack, maybe someone else has the URL???
heres a sample preolader that sum1 posted on ere a while ago, but i find it easier to just have about 10 frames at the beginin of ya movie create ur preloader in these.
on your 1st frame have script sayin basically if frame ?? loaded goto frame ??
?? = number
then on ur last frame have goto frame1 (rthis will keep looping until all the frames ur chosen up2 are loaded
Sounds good, only I don’t know anything about scripting, so where would I find a script to tell the animation to do that, TinLeg?

yeah, splitting the movie up sounds like a good idea, but I wouldnt know how to do that. Let me know if you find the tutorial or if you have any suggestions about making a quick flash website
First of all, as far as “splitting” the movie goes :
If you have a movie with four scenes eg (home, about, contact,gallery), make each one of those scenes a different swf.
You will have the preloader (good preloader tuts on this site), in the first frame of each of those movies (the preloader is not just a good idea, IT IS COMPULSORY, unless you want the user to think that his browser has frozen etc).
When using a preloader for “loadMovie”, remember to use “_parent”, not “_root”, as _root will target the timeline of your main movie.
I have not found that tut yet, but I am attaching the source file that I got. Take a good look at it, it’s pretty straight forward . . .
I cannot post the file as it is too big, but e-mail me via the forum and I can send you the file
