Re: FLASH: flash movie controller?

[Michael Penney]

Do they currently use flash 4 scripting/features? If they don't you can

export them as quicktime from flash and use the standard quicktime

controller. If they have Flash4 only scripting or features, you would have

to find or program controls. Its not too hard to make play and stop buttons,

but smooth (ie qt-like) ff and rewind would take more complex programming.

Lots of examples of such programming on flashlite.net. However, if they are

just linear movies, exporting a quicktime would likely be easiest.


see: http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/qtframeactions.htm

 to learn if your movies include flash 4 features.
