Please Help! Question involving video pat31

flash (macromedia): I'm trying to make a jeopardy flash game for a major summative project and I've
run into a problem. I've made 3 scenes, 1 for an intro screen (just click to
play), 1 for that I have a video made up for the different jeopardy categories
being shown (panning across), and 1 for the actual game.

The problem I have, is after the video plays, I have tried everything my n00b
mind is capable of, but I just can't get it to go to scene 3 after the videos
done playing. I can get it to loop, I can go from scene 1 to 3, I can get the
video to pause at the end, but I cannot get it to go from scene 2 to 3.

If anyone will walk me through it or even point me in the right direction it
would be a huge help.

P.S. How hard would it be to have a dynamic scoreboard, and also have the
buttons disappear after theyve been clicked? Thats just bonus though.

If you're using the FLVplayback component, you can use its "complete" event to
make the timeline go to scene 3. Something like this:

myVid.complete = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Scene 3");
}

As for a score, make a dynamic text box with a variable to hold your score and
increment that variable as needed. And you can make the buttons disappear by
setting the _visible property to false when you click them (e.g.,
myBut._visible = false;)

Hope that helps!
