FLASH: FLASH TO HTML- Back to Static Frame

[Jurus]

In a message dated 3/28/00 5:08:28 AM Pacific Standard Time, 


<< what? if---->

 you set a variable before getting the html link (for instance html=1), then

 in the 1st frame of the whole animation you check this variable and if it is

 =1 you jump to the static frame (all in the same swf), in this frame you

 reset the variable and go on. So when you go back from the html the swf will

 do that. I think it will be easier 'cause you 'll need ony a .swf.  >>



This is a great suggestion, although I could not get it to work.  This is 

what I did:




ON THE BUTTON THAT LOADS THE HTML LINK:


    On (Release)

          Set Variable: "html" = 1

          Get URL ("http://www.xxx.com/page.html")

    End On




AT FRAME ONE:



    If ("html" = 1)

        Go to and Stop (149)

    Else

    End If




 

ON THE STATIC FRAME (149)



    Stop

    Set Variable: "html" = 0






Any ideas?

 it seems like it is set to the default background image of white.

 In the embed tag add a new background colour tag to whatever you want...and

 it won't have the obvious white there.....>>



Thank you for your quick response.  I tried this and it is better, but it 

still flashes a blank screen.  Is there a way to load a SWF from a different 

URL, in the background, with the alpha at zero, then raising the alpha to 

100% when the page is loaded (therefore hiding the blank screen flash)?


Or, it would be okay if the blank page flash (when loading static.swf) occurs 

after the user selects the button with an HTML link.   So, after the 

animation, when the user presses a button with an HTML link, it loads 

static.swf first, then the HTML link.   If the user presses the back button 

once, it would go back to the static.swf.  If the user presses back twice, 

then the animation would start again.  This would be ideal.

So, I tried:


On (Release)

      Get URL ("http://www.xxx.com/static.swf")

    Get URL ("http://www.html.com/page.html")

End On



But, this only loads the second link - Get URL 

("http://www.html.com/page.html").  


Can I load the first link, then use a variable to load the second link?



I have HTML links in my Flash animation that are directed to various HTML 

pages.  When I hit the back button from the HTML page, it starts my Flash 

Animation over again (which I don't want).  


So, I created 2 swf's:


    one that contains the animation (Master)

    and one that is identical but only contains the ending static frames 

(Static).  


First, the site loads "Master.swf", it plays out the animation, then it 

switches to "Static.swf".  When it switches, it flashes the default blank 

white screen before it loads the Static.swf.  Does anyone know how to create 

a more seamless transition, without the blank white screen flash?  


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,


David
