ok pares101 i check out the fla and i would definitly go check out the full site tutorial,

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full\_site.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm)

it would make your life so much easier!!

::: here is the life of the variable that i set in my original file, this should clear up what you should do with this sort of variable in the future,

OK, the variables start life in a action where a stop is placed,  
the variable is set

```auto

content = 0

```

this is telling flash that there is a variable called ‘content’ and its value right now is 0. ok now you navigate through the website , and once you click on a button, we have some commands to tell the variable to change,

```auto

on (release) {
    content = 1;
    gotoAndPlay("end");
}

```

this code tells flash that when the mouse button is released on the button that we selected (this one would be button one) the variable ‘content’ now is 1 , we have changed its value, now we tell it to gotoand play a frame label called end. this is where we have the animation for the outros then after the outros we have the action of the if statments, this will use the variable

```auto

 if (content == 1) {
    _root.gotoAndPlay("pressreviews");
}
if (content == 5) {
    _root.gotoAndPlay("thirsty");
}
if (content == 2) {
    _root.gotoAndPlay("events");
}

```

this is a true and false statement (if statment) if the statement is true then it will execute the following task, if its not true it will pass the task and go on to the other, if there is nothing there it will just load the next frame and continue this is why he have a action to tell flash to go back to the loop statement so it can be a loop. In this code, we ask flash, what is the varable number? if the variable number is 1 then load pressreviews, if 2 load events and so on and so forth. remember that we made the variable a particular number when we pressed the button .

now flash thinks and does what u command!

you probably knew this already but just wanted to tell you the path that the variable gets in a movie such as this. and remember with every click of a different button the variable will change, according to whats in the buttons actionscripting.

::NOW , 🙂 check out that link i gave you about full sites, it wont be hard at all to fix it up your scenes as external movie, if you have any more questions, ask me.  
best of luck! 😏

hey dude, just to inform you that i got your email, bad news , because i cant download the file until my connection get back to its normal speed (will in about 3 days) i will try if i get the chance, congrats on getting the web site, up .

If you cant drop the crowd sound, i think you should make a jazzy type of track with the crowd noise included in it, so you can tone the crowd back, and some chilled out beats.

ill try to check it out as soon as i can, just major busy right now , talk to you soon mate 😏

Actually i was talking about composing a track using something like Fruity loops, you can put the crowd sample on one channel , decrease the volume on that , and lay down a jazzy beat on another channel . and have that looped.

edit::: and save that song as a mp3 or wav and then replace the new file with the crowd file.
