Re: FLASH: flash movie controller?

[Randy Kato]

Larissa,


That type of controller is really not useful for most flash movies since

they're not necessarily just a linear progression. There are lots of

different timelines, all doing different things, triggered by different

actions/user input. AND, if it is a movie that uses such a simple linear

timeline, it's very very simple and easy to make that control bar in Flash.

That's why you don't see that option.


The answer, make one yourself...there are even some pre-made buttons that

come with Flash that you can use.


HTH,

Randy
