Re: FLASH: help buttons and sounds?related question

[Karin Christensen]

This might work.  Have each sound in a movie clip in successive frames

on the timeline.  So say you have three mcs in three successive

keyframes on the main time line, mc "sound1" is in keyframe 1,

"sound2" in keyframe 2, and  "sound3" in keyframe  3, with a stop

action in each keyframe.  In each of the 3 keyframes in the main time

line have your three buttons, however in keyframe 1, give buttons 2

and 3 a graphic behavior instead of a button behavior, or do not use a

mouse event action for them, have button 1 telltarget mc "sound1" to

play.  In keyframe 2, have button 2 active, but not 1 and 3, similar

for keyframe 3.  You could have the inactive buttons lighter or grayed

out to show they aren't active.  Then put a tell target action in the

last frame of mc "sound1", to have the main timeline go to frame 2.

That way, buttons 2 and 3 won't be active until the sound has

finished.  Then button 2 will be active, and at the end of mc sound2,

tell target the main timeline to go to frame 3 where only button 3 is

active. mc "sound3 could telltarget back to frame 1.  This would only

work if the sounds are played in order, though.

Hope this makes sense.
