Hello, I have posted this question a few times on other boards and I can still not get this to work.
Here is what I want.
It is pretty simple to make a flash site that when you click a button graphics fly around all this fancy stuff happens etc…BUT When you click another button the page you currently are on just dissapears and then the next page loads and does all its fancy stuff again.
So what I am wondering is what is a simple way of having for example this:
HOME page fades in
User clicks ANY BUTTON
HOME page fades out
then whatever page Clicked FADES in
\*\*Obviously this would be the same for any page you are viewing. And I am using fade in/out as a simple example.
This would be very easy to do if I knew the viewer would press the buttons in a certain order but like that will happen. Also I have no problem doing this with a few pages by just putting everything linear on the timeline. But things start to get crazy when I have alot of pages.
Is there an action that I could apply to my buttons that perform the task of “When user clicks X button, Play exit animation of the page you are currently on before loading page that the user clicked”??
Any help would be greatly appreciated I have been trying to find an easy way to do this for quite some time…
PS sorry about the long post…
see ya
