Re: FLASH: message dialog box

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi Dee,


Best thing is to make a MovieClip that has your "alertBox" graphic and any

buttons you require in it, then you create keyframes with different labels

for the different alerts. Place it on stage name it "alert" and add a blank

keyFrame at the beginning of that movie with an action of "Stop", this way

the alert MC will be invisible until you use:


Tell Target ("alert")

    Go to and Stop "alertLabelx"

End Tell


All that is left to do now is place your actions on the button including:


Go To and Stop 1


This will hide it again.


If you want the user to not be able to click anywhere else on the screen

then you will have to create a dummy full screen button which you place

underneath your alert graphics. Again leaving the first frame blank.


Try that and good luck


Robert
