Re: FLASH: Tell Target vs Assigning actions

[KJ]

Didn't see anyone answer it so I thought I'd try to help. There are a couple

of ways I've done it. Tell Target and also Load Movie.


>1) How do I get anb MC to stop playing with the actions?

>2) If using actions, can it play again if the user wants to visit the same

>floor again? (it doesn't do it now)


Easiest way is to Tell Target all of the movie clips and tell them to go to

a frame (blank-real easy-  Fade out of present scene or a transition-more

preferrable) Have them transition from any movie they might be playing and

then come in with the new one. In your case closing doors on the currently

playing scene would seem to make the most sense. Yes, it can go to any of

the floors.


>3) should I use tell Target in this case and if so, can I use different

>scenes? (I remember many diatribes about not using them. I think it makes

for

>a cleaner layout)


As JC would say S C E N E S badddddddddddddddddd! We no like scenes. Scenes

cause cancer. Scenes will make you impotent. Scenes will cause Suzy to laugh

at you.


>4) If I'm using scenes and a loader, how do I program it with -- If frame

>loaded ... to make sure all the scenes load (or is it necessary?)


SEE ABOVE


>5) I'm talking about 100 to 200 frames MC's -- should they be called

separate

Could use load movie as another option. Drawback there is that it eliminates

a preloader.


Hope I've helped in some small way. Feel free to redirect if I didn't.

Ask and listen hear and over time you will become wise.
