Re: FLASH: flash in director prob

It's not clear to me whether you're making the Director movie, or your

knowledge of Director. This would have to shade any reply.


As Taylor noted, you can use a GetURL address of "event: SomeCommand" to

pass a "SomeCommand" message out to Director. (More info on this subject is

in the D6.5/D7 documentation.)


Although there is a "pause" command in Lingo, it's a very old one, and as

the Dictionary advises it's only there to support older projects. You'd

instead likely want to loop on that one frame.


Matter of fact, you'd likely want to do that anyway... if you're relying on

a Flash movie to show completely before advancing in Director, then you'd

likely have Director be looping anyway. In other words, I'm not sure how

you'd get into the situation where you'd need what you're asking for...

guess I don't really understand the actual question, sorry.
