So I’ve been pouring over this forum looking for a solution to my problem. (this is probably a little lengthy, so I apologize in advance).
I’ve been using the techniques in the tut: Transitioning between external SWFs
to create a little flash movie to be used for work. I’ve created files to mimic the tut, ALMOST to the T.
Somethings that I have changed… I’m using a transition on a symbol to fade in and out. I’m also using a gray gradient in the first 12 frames as a “woohoo, look at me” intro.
So my problem is that when I start the mainmovie.swf file it’s supposed to pull in the first swf file (section1.swf) and go through the same actions as the above tut. But what is REALLY happening is that section1.swf starts, but it’s only the gray gradient. When I click on button 2, I get the same gradient, only this one loops (which isn’t supposed to happen). Same thing with section 3.
I’ve gone through the code (which should be right, because I cut/pasted into flash, changing only the file names), but also doesn’t mean much, because this is my first dive into AS.
Yes, I have five buttons and only three external fla files, I figured, let me get these working first, and then do the other two buttons.
On top of this, I wanted to get the entire sequence to play and loop three times. But my main concern is to get the buttons working. I would attach the files, but they are too big, even zipped.
HELP PLEASE! Thank you in advance,
