Hey there,
I’m currently making a "new look" personal website using Macromedia Flash 8 and would be very grateful if anyone here could help me with this little snag I have hit.
Basically, I have designed my site on the basis that you can control a movie within a movie? I don't actually know if this is true but I really hope it is!
It’s hard for me to explain but I will try:
Each page I want to have a transition, moving "in to" the viewable space (800X600) from the right. The user can ten navigate to another page which will in turn move in from the right whilst the previous page is exiting to the right.
I have done this by creating each page in a different movie and in my index/home page I have created an empty movie clip as a page holder and coded the appropriate buttons to load the external movies within the page holder when the user clicks on a button. the problem I am facing is that once a user has navigated to a section (an external movie loaded in the page holder), I cannot get the buttons (which are in a separate movie clip of their own within the main "index" page) to command the separate movie clip/page to exit and allow the user to navigate to a different section of the site.
That’s about the nest I can explain with words, I will try and get some pics up to show you and hopefully explain a little better as soon as I can.
If anyone can understand what I'm wanting and can help I would be most grateful!
Regards,
Chris.
(P.S. apologies for any bad spelling/grammar, I’m full of cold and not feeling too good and am tired as the time here is 00:25 so I’m off to bed! - night all )
