Maybe I'm just groggy from lack of sleep.
Client decides he wants roll out animation when you roll out of a
button. Problem is I'm working on an old version of his Flash CD and so
I have to pussy foot around the old stuff to "just alter it a bit and
save him some money".
What I have is a complete self contained Flash movie that I'm
incorporating into a CD of content that I've already created.
Not a problem. I make it a different layer/level that loads
independently above my own content. All I need to do is alter the
navigation interface to match mine.
PROBLEM. The pre-existing Flash stuff is divided into 5 sections with
navigation, which is to say, on the main timeline there are 5 frames,
each of which contains another movie with it's own navigation controls.
I'm replacing real button objects with MCs that have button commands in
them - - and they aren't working.
Help please?
It looks sort of like this
level 30
movie parts (A) (B) (C) (D) (E)
navigation for each
My script looks like this
*******************************************
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("rollin");
}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("out");
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("down");
overview.gotoAndPlay('icons');
}
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay("down");
}
on (releaseOutside) {
gotoAndPlay("out");
}
on (dragOut) {
gotoAndPlay("down");
}
********************************************
The important part is the release script.
I've tried
overview.gotoAndPlay('icons');
_level30.overview.gotoAndPlay('icons');
_level30.gotoAndPlay('icons');
gotoAndPlay('icons');
and more...
Any Ideas?
