Pan/Zoom et al

HI All,

Newbie here so kindly bear with me…I am working on this project that involves a lot of visualmapping(think of mapquest), a real crash course I got meself into here but that’s hardly the point.

I want to be able to do the following:
a. load a movie from within an Index animation via menu and have the user interact with the map. I want to achieve pan,zoom, and pretty much just show a portion of the map at any point in time. Help, please…

b. Since there are different maps should I just have one movie with Map Layers so to speak, what are the benefits in doing it this ways vs say having x number of movies for each map.

That’s the lot for now good people. Any help would be most appreciated…

ciao for now…

so you should make a movie to load for example g1.swf and in the main movie make an movieclip that exact fits the size for the g1.swf and move the rectangle of the fill so that the centerpoint lies on the left top edje of the mc.

why cant beginners start off with something simple like moving a ball or something.

after doing that goto inside that movie clip and move the fill in to the second frame so first frame will be empty and the 2 frame will have the fill it doesnt matter what color is your fill in the both frames put the stop(); codes so they shouldn’t loop. go back to the main movie and put this movie clip where you want it to be and then make its instance name amjc for example and now the finishing think is in the button of your menu put this code inside
on (release) {
loadMovie(“g1.swf”, “amjc”);
_root.background.gotoandplay (2);
}
and test it it should load the exampled g1.swf inside of exampled amjc movie !!!Cheers :smiley:

Skinny_T LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOl :)) yeah you are right but after doing it they will become a flash monsters after 3 or 4 years :smiley: if they wont get into a hospital :smiley:
