RE: FLASH: Coloring buttons based on values received

[Ed King]

Nigel,


	Let's see if I have this, When I create and instance of my button, I will

need a frame for each color that I would like the button to be.  What if I

have several buttons in the movie that will need to be  color coded, do I

have to have a frame for each color combination of the buttons? Example I

have 2 buttons on a form that could be red, yellow or green.  Will I need to

make 9 frames for the different color combinations of the buttons?


Thanks for the info

Ed King

Ed,


If you're developing in VB then the sky is the limit, as you won't have

the limitations that developing for the web imposes.

The basic tactic is to use telltarget.

Scenario :

You have a movie clip where each labelled frame is a different button.

Place an instance of this movie clip on your stage.

Now in your VB code all you have to do is associate the various values

you get from the database with the various buttons. When you decide how

these associations should be just do a conditional telltarget directed

at your movie clip that tells it to goto label 'whatever'.
