Re: FLASH: Unwanted multiple MC pop-ups

[Jose M. Rubio/DoubleYou]

Hello Brian,


Try to set up a variable (I'll call it "switch") with a value of  false 

which turns to true when a rollover is triggered. Then place a conditional 

action in your rollovers for telling them to do nothing if "switch" equals 

true and to display the popup if it equals false.


Since you haven't said if the popups have to remain on the stage or have to 

disappear once they've finished playing I don't know where to put the 

action for setting "switch" to false, so you can activate the rollovers 

again, but I think you'll can figure it out with no problems.


Hope that helps.
