Re: FLASH: importing .fla movie in Director+button problem

[John Dowdell]

There was a description of a particular project. For "How can I pause a

Flash sprite in Director?" the triggering event can come from inside the

Flash sprite (just stopping in the usual way), or else the triggering event

can come from the Director host (via its "playing" property).


If it's instead "How can I have the Flash sprite tell the Director host to

stop playing?" then that's trickier, and would usually rely on the guest

passing the host a request, and the host handling that request in an

appropriate way.


(The "wait for mouse click" stuff in the Director's tempo channel is mainly

for those who are making non-interactive presentations... once you get past

the basics, I'd recommend ignoring that tempo channel and directly

scripting what you want instead.)


The system-level buttons in Director's Tool Panel will change their height

depending on the fontsize of the text you put in those buttons. (These

system-level buttons aren't as flexible as buttons you make yourself,

because they rely on the system to draw the button.)
