Re: Re: FLASH: How do you use flash movie in Director7?

[Grimmwerks]

Actually I import flash movies all the time. You can even save some 

'smarts' by setting the flash to static, meaning the director engine 

won't look to see if it needs to redraw a new frame for the movie. You 

can set buttons to be enabled or ....well there's a whole lot you can do.

Then you can just have a geturl in your flash for whatever (ie 

"playsound") and the behavior on the flash file will 'hear' that url 


 on getURL, stringfromflash

     case stringfromflash of

          "playsound": puppetsound 1, "somesound"

     end case

 end getURL
