i remember talking about this a while ago, but dont remember where the link is.

anyway, you could simply make each slide in flash and then make the whole movie a button, so when you click on the screen it will take you to the next section, or slid using something like this

```auto

on (release) {
    gotoAndPlay("section2");
}

```

i’ll make a quick fla, hope this helps.

Use the onMouseDown instead of the onPressed… This way you can make the \_root.onMouseDown work out…

So when he puts his mouse down anywhere on the movie… It’ll do tha availible code. 😉

I was just suggesting the use of \_root.onMosueDown to make things simpler… That way you don’t have to have the on pressed in a clip container…

The \_root.onMouseDown captures instances of the click within the whole \_root 🙂

ah k, i get ya, edit my fla if you want . to your suggestion. 😏

::guess that would be used more for movie clips though , wouldnt it. i did it a different way, well when the content gets more complex guess you could use movieclips. this was a quicky.

_lol_… Doesn’t matter whcih way you used…

With my method though… You can load in slides after you click the mouseDown…

Kind-a like…

numSlides = 10;  
curSlide = 0;

```php

if(_root.onMouseDown())
{
   if(curSlide < numSlides)
   {
      curSlide++;
      loadMovie("slide"+curSlide+".swf");
   }
}

```

For the movieCLip method though… Yours might work out better… But who knows… This is basic scripting so we aren’t going for speed… if it works… BY JONES use it! _lmao_
