Re: FLASH: Layered buttons & sounds

The basic setup is a two frame Movie Clip.

In the first frame place 4 concentric buttons.

  0, 1, 2, 3

Place the first Event sound in Button 1, second in 2 and third in 3.

In Button zero place either a Stop All Sounds or 3 Sound Stop events.

When the button 3 is moused over you will have a Go to Action to the

Second Frame.


The Second frame will also have 4 buttons.

   Frame 3 will habve a button that has no Sound function.

   Frame 2 will have a Stop Sound 3 Action.

   Frame 1 will have Stop Sounds 2 and 3.

   Frame 0 will have either a Stop All sounds or Stop Sounds 1, 2, and

3.


Note, refinements to this can be made by using nested Movie Clips to

control the Sound Stops if needed. Most likely most of the buttons will

be invisble especially in the Up mode. I have only described the audio

portions. Visual elements can be included in the Buttons or in a Movie

Clip controlled from the buttons. This could end up being very

complicated but it is very possible.
