FLASH: Davo's Flash tip O' the day #?

[David Gary]

Someone had commented on how to get a flash site to "pause" without having a

looooong timeline.

If you want long pauses in your Flash movies. Try this. Create a MC(movie clip)

in this movie clip

create, say, 30 to 50 empty frames. In the last keyframe tell target "/" for

main timeline or "../" for

one next level up MC to "play". On the timeline you want to pause copy and

paste "stop" action

keyframes in several blank keyframes in a row or sequence, then paste your

"Blank frame"

MCs into each of these frames. That way the main timeline will stop on the

blank MC, the "Blank MC

will play its timeline and then tell target the main timeline to play which

will stop in the next frame and trigger

the next "Blank frame" MC and so on.
