Hello! I am currently making tutorials that are broken into steps and have 2 parts, a more general explanation and a more indepth explanation- however I would like to give the user the choice at the end of the general tutorial as to whether they would like to rewatch the clip or watch the more indepth clip. I have also given the user the option of just going to the next step whenever they want to by clicking on a button to the side that says next.
I have implemented this by having a “container” movieClip that holds external SWF’s. However I would like to have control over these external SWF’s. What I mean by control is this: the SWF files keep looping, but I would like it to stop at the end so that I can give the user the choice as to whether they would like to watch the movieClip again or watch the SWF that has the more indepth explanation. How can I control the external SWF so that it will stop at the end? I’ve tried code like
if(mc._currentframe == mc._totalframes){
mc.stop();
}
To the best of my knowledge that doesnt work since I have been using the movieClipLoader object (so that I can have a preload bar), and the onLoadInit() function only looks at mc._currentframe at the very beginning, whereas I need it to constantly update what mc._currentframe is inorder for that code to work.
Does anyone have any clue as to how I might control these external SWF’s? I really really need help with this, and would be tremendously grateful to any input. Thanks!
