Re: FLASH: Background Sound Tracker/ Branden J. Hall

[Branden Hall]

Well, I give a detailed explaination on how it works in the Help forum on

the FlashZone message board.  Here's what I said there:


"The basic idea is that rather that automatically starting the newly loaded

sound when you go to the next part of the demo, you tell target to a

controller movie and tell it to play. This controller movie is what actually

talks to the _level1 movie which contains the sound. The controller movie

has two "options" the first one that tells the sound SWF to go to its "play"

frame and another that tells it to go to it's "stop" frame. At start the

Controller movie will be set to the "play" option. However, besides actually

turning the sound on and off, the sound toggle button will also toggle the

state of the controller movie. Thus once you turn off the sounds the sounds

will not play in each section unless the user explicitly turns the sounds

back on, just what you wanted!"


Right now the background sound tracker *only* works with the stand alone

player, not on the web, however some people requested it as is, and thats

why its on FlashZone.  Today or tomorrow I am writing a web-safe version of

the example, it should be on FlashZone by next Wednesday.
