FLASH: Button after loading

[Manish Buttan]

Hi All,

    We just finished a book in flash for a client. It is a single movie with

8 scenes. The first scene is a loading scene and the rest are the pages.

I have put a simple back-front navigation button pair to take me through the

pages.

The problem is, the navigation buttons appear before the next scene is

downloaded and users tend to keep clicking on the next button and nothing

happens.( I have programmed the button to work only after the next scene has

been downloaded with if frame is loaded.. SCENE..frame etc in the button

actions.)

I tried putting the similar action in the movie symbol of the button, to

make it have a blank frames loop till the next scene is loaded and then

appear. What I figure is that the SCENE choice gets disabled in symbols. And

so I am stuck.

The scenes have looping movie symbols playing, so I have to put a stop

action at the end of each scene timeline, so.. putting the if frame is

loaded on the main time line is not an option.


How do I execute the simple task of having my buttons appear after the next

scene is loaded.


Thanks for any help.

Manish
