Re: FLASH: Setting Specific Load Menu Features-John C.

[Olympic Health Management Systems]

John...thanks. I guess I knew this, but thought there was a way around

loading a movie on top of another without having to place an actual box that

doubles as the background...otherwise, you get a transparent layer. only way

not to have this is to "unload" which you've discussed isn't the best

option. So my question is this...about "parking" and calling up swfs. I'm

not sure I understand. If I have a button that directs a movie to load on

level6 and then from that level I have another button that loads on level5,

I'm screwed. if you only had one screen to load from it would be fine...but

you can never ensure that user will make a selection that will be

"greater-than" the current level. how do I get around this, to ensure my

"new" movie-selection is loaded on the top layer? perhaps this is the

"parking" issue. This is what you said previously about "parking" and I'm a

little confused...perhaps you can explain more or direct me to an example? 


-----

You can't unload the movie on level zero without unloading everything.

We use park instead. A park frame is one that has no buttons and usually

is one that has no images as well. 


In a movie that starts parked it is normally in Frame 1.

In a movie that starts by playing it is usually Frame 2 with frame 1

having a Go to and Play frame 3 action bypasing frame 2 initially.

thanks John! :) -thomas
