Re: FLASH: Layered buttons & sounds

[Marc Hoffman]

Hi John,

Thanks for the help.  However I haven't been able to get it work.  A couple

of things are not clear to me (read on):



>The basic setup is a two frame Movie Clip.

>In the first frame place 4 concentric buttons.

>  0, 1, 2, 3


Did this.  Made 0 the largest, 3 the smallest, and stacked them in layers

so 3 is on top.



>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.


I put the sounds into the Over frame of each button in symbol edit mode.

Is this what you meant?  I left all buttons as Track as Button.

>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.


I assumed by "Frame 3" you meant Button 3, etc.  I created 3 new concentric

buttons for this so that they would not have the sounds embedded.  In their

instances in the movie clip I created the actions as you advised.  I did

not know if the movie clip needed to loop, so I didn't insert any other

actions (stop or Go to 1).


The results were quite mixed, almost random.  Sound 2 wsa most

unpredictable.  I also got sounds looping on top of one another.


If you have the time, could you elaborate on your scheme?  Thanks.
