Re: FLASH: Smart Buttons?

[Dorian Nisinson]

This could be done in Flash using 4 different instance of the same

button and 4 frame labels. 

Labels= FrameA

	FrameB

	FrameC (sent by Frame A button instance 1) 

	FrameC2 (sent by Frame B button instance 2)


Instance 1 button in Frame A would contain an action to go to label

FrameC

Instance 2 button in Frame B would contain an action to go to label 

FrameC2

Instance 3 button in Frame C would contain an action to go to label

FrameA

Instance 4 button in Frame C2 would contain an action to go to label 

FrameB


Make a layer for Instance 3 button and a layer for instance 4 button.

Have the rest of the contents of FrameC on other layers. Say your Frame

C sequence starts at frame 20 put the label FrameC at frame 20. Add a

keyframe at frame 25 (for example) and label that FrameC2. All the other

contents of the frame C are only loaded once and only the buttons

change.


Hope this is what you meant.
