RE: FLASH: Newbie questions

[Andrew Timberlake]

Hello   n n n n


Being new you need to understand from day one that Flash uses a timeline and

not any form of scripting logic. It is possible to do what your asking in a

number of ways but the easiest would probably be to place the button into a

timeline which will run for five minutes, (an extremely long timeline) and

then place an action at the end of the timeline into the keyframe.


If you want a movie to pause for text, extend the timeline or stop the

playback and place a button to continue (I would suggest this approach as it

allows viewers with different reading speeds to continue at their leisure!

Subject: FLASH: Newbie questions



Hi everybody,

I'm new to this list and also to Flash 3.0. I encountered a few problems

and would like to seek advice from all of you.


1. I'm developing a flash demo that require user to click on the 'next

button' to proceed to next section, if the user do not click on the next

button and the flash demo has detected it has passed 5 minutes, it will

automatically go to next section. I know how to create the next button but

do not know what command to use for the auto-detection?


2. Is there any way to pause a frame for a few minutes (maybe a frame that

contains a lot of text where user needs time to read) before it continues

playing the rest of the frames?


Sorry for the newbie questions and TIA.
