The videos don't stop when you go to another one.
You can have all the videos playing at the same time. The button text for "websites" overlaps the display area. You may want to move them all down or reduce the font size. Other than that, it's an excellent site.
Your loading time was extremly long for the initial load time. Needs a preloader. The preloader that is in place I only see when its at 98% then boom its loaded.
Another quark I have is under contact you should have a mailto link. Other than that it is a very nice site. I viewed it at: 1024x768 IE6 winXP High Speed internet
thanks! i have a preloader, but don't know why it only kicks in at 98% then boomm it's there... i have "export on first frame" checked on the instance propoerties window of the preloader. other than that i don't know what to do.

i haven't quite figured out how to stop the videos from playing. tried using "unload" but the whole interface disappears. i just left it thinking it wasn't that important... any idea what code i can use and on what frame/instance?
there was a slight glitch that i had when the movie gets to the end: it goes back to the first frame and starts over. fixed this on the "red collection" video, but haven't gotten back around to fixing the others.. thanx!!! f
Not knowing exactly how you have everything set up, but here's an idea.
When you click the start button, you could call a function in the parent. The parent function should turn off all movies that didn't call it. I didn't test the below script, but you can probably get the idea. i.e. -- in the individual movie control on(press){ _parent.stopMovies(thisMovieNumber); } -- in the parent movie movieCount = 5; -- number of movies function stopMovies(movieX){ for (x=0; x<_root.movieCount; x++){ if (x != movieX){ _root["movieClipHolderName" + x].gotoAndStop(1); -- or you could call a function that stops the movie. } } }
thx! i will try this out. one question:
on the "in the parent movie" code, do i place this code on the first frame of the sliding panel MC? the setup is: main movie>(local) sliding panel MC >holder window (into which to load the external MC)>external video MC (loaded when you click "watch the video" button) cheers f
It's probably best to put it at the root level.
If you put it on the slide panel you will have to include it in the path of the function. i.e. _root.slidePanelInstanceName.stopMovies(); or _parent.slidePanelInstanceName.stopMovies(); You'll have to play around with it. Set up a text field and name the instance (myDebugField) and put it somewhere on the main movie that can be viewed at all times. Then, when you try the click or the function, put the trace information into the text field. i.e. instead of trace("this is my output"); do myDebugField.text = "this is my output"; That will help you find where it fails, since this will probably be a trial and error thing. I found out the long and hard way that passing parameters from a loaded movie only works in run time and not the preview in the Flash IDE. So, you'll have to run it on your test website a few times. The movie count can be set to _global to make things easier. If you are loading the movies dynamically, then you would just set it again after each movie is loaded. _global.movieCount = _global.movieCount++; If not, you can still put the _global parameter on the root first frame.
How did you get the videos to play in that area? are they swfs with the video imported into them?
The preloader only comes in on 98% because the site is loading everything that
has "export on first frame" before the preloader. To combat this, follow these steps: Have 3 scenes. Put your preloader on scene 1, call scene 2 "bin" or whatever and have your site on scene 3. For every library item that has "export in first frame", drag them into the "bin" scene. Place them anywhere - no-one will see this scene so it's not important. Once every library item that's exported in the first frame is in the bin scene, untick all of their "export in first frame" boxes. Make sure the preloader goes to scene 3 when the file has finished downloading. Run the file - you should see that the preloder now loads before the objects in the bin, thus bringing it in at something closer to 5% instead of 95%+. Note: Flash 7 player seems to play the bin scene regardless of the gotoAndStop code telling it to skip it, so it could be a good idea to then place all the items on the bin scene inside a movie and make the alpha 0. If you don't use the bin scene method and simply untick all of the "export in first frame" boxes, Flash will not display these items. As long as you use them before the main site (i.e. in the bin scene) then it will be ok. Any questions, email me - gareth@designencryption.co.uk. Cheers.
An alternate to placing them in a BIN scene is to place them in frame 1 of
the scene in which they appear, outside of the stage area so they will not be disaplayed within the movie. -Rob [quoted text, click to view] "Gareth-de" <webforumsuser@macromedia.com> wrote in message news:c1vi8b$khg$1@forums.macromedia.com... > The preloader only comes in on 98% because the site is loading everything that > has "export on first frame" before the preloader.
