Re: FLASH: Long Form Presentation

[Michael Penne]

Alt#3: put the nav info in one movie, load this into a

master movie (so you can load it in a level above other

movies), then load/unload other movies into the main movie

below the nav movie, set different nav commands for

different content movies using variables set by each

content movie as it loads.


I find it easier on developer and client to break large

files up into separate swfs, your milege may vary...
