Re: FLASH: "Sticking" buttons function??

[Chris Urban]

Gina,


I think by the time you get through writing some detection code (and you

would have to probably just add code on the HTML end; javascript to call the

correct part of the movie), you could have just duped the original movie

eight times and made the changes. At least try to keep from doing the duping

until you know what all your HTML pages will be called, so then you only

have to program the buttons once...   I think eight URLs is still below

borderline for doing it this way.


If you want to delve into JS for controlling a swf, take a look at:

Hth,

Chris
