Controlling playback timing of 3 different swfs? How?


Controlling playback timing of 3 different swfs? How? stardoofus
12/1/2003 9:45:44 PM
flash (macromedia):
I have a single html page that has three different swf files,
in three different table cells.

Is there a way to stably control the playback timing of the
three and keep them in sync, without making them one big
(big resolution-wise, not file size) swf?

They are basically all three small banner ads that transition
from one image to the next, but I want them to transition in
order and stayed synced up. Top banner goes, then a second
or so later right banner goes, then a second or so later, the
bottom banner goes, then repeat...

It needs to work on all the current browsers and also on both
the PC and Mac platforms...

Thanks in advance.

[quoted text, click to view]

They will load in random order so which is loaded first will start first.
You can set up preloader to load them and hold them .
Than use local Connection to control all the files within same html
document. Please refer to the following technote :
