Hi...

I'm a newbie in Flash 8 Pro. Currently I'm doing my own website of 9 pages in
total of different Sections.

My Questions are -

1. Can I create all my different pages in different scenes all in my default
Home page?
Will I encounter problems later on when publishing it to the Web?

eg. Home (Default home page) - Main (Scene 1)
About Me - AboutMe (Scene 2)
My Hobbies - My Hobbies (Scene 3)

...and so forth, all in a Default page.

2. Previous, I tried inserting a swf file (my different Web page) into my
Loader but
it kept on placing on the right, way out of my loader's X and Y marks. It
seems like
my Loader automatically move way to the right. Tried to solve it but failed.
Can you
advice me on this problem I'm facing.

eg. I place my Loader at the centre of my default Web page. But whenever I
placed
my swf file and test it (Command + Return), the Loader simply move way out to
the right.


Please help me on these a.s.a.p. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for quick reply..appreciate it loads!

Did you mean converting each Scenes pages into a movie clip?
Please elaborate more cos I'm a Flash newbie.

And please can you teach me on how to make each page to a movie clip
as mentioned above...

And for the 2nd question, all I did was create a Loader Component in
my Main Default Web Page to upload all the different swfs (for different
pages) without doing any weird syntx or the x and y values. Tried it so
many times to solve this by doing a new page of swfs to be uploaded to
my Loader but failed...Can it be the size of my swfs pages?...But its a bit
smaller than my Loader size.

And 1 more Question from me -

How can I play my background music continously for every pages without
it starting all over again for every page clicked?

Thanks...I LOVE this Flash Forum!!!

You can, it is just not recommended to use scenes anymore... Besides
you would have to repeat your navigation bar on each scene or have to
load it every time you jump to a scene.
Instead you can make each page a movie clip in the library. Give a
linkage id to it. Then create a empty movie clip or use the load movie
component to load each page as you click your buttons. Place your
navigation on a separate layer.
So the empty movie clip is your container and the clips get replaced inside

Are you sure you are using the correct syntax? Flash can load a swf on
the main stage and it loads using x=0 y=0 or you can load it to a movie
clip (as I mentioned above) and it will use its registration point for
placement. So make sue you have given your loader an instance name and

all right mr. Art,
www.mocaloca.com/loadPages.zip

Keep in mind:

- Every button needs an instance name (in the property inspector)
- The page movie clips are in the library with a linkage name (right
click in the library and select Linkage to view its name)
- When you click the button, it grabs the clips from the library and
loads into the Loader container on the stage.
- This container also need an instance name
- This is a dirty lazy way to do it, so my container size is the same
size as the pages movie clips.
- You can add whatever you want inside each page mc
- The code for the buttons are on the first frame under Action Script

Hope it helps, good luck

Hello,

Someone requested this file saved as MX so I thought to share:
www.mocaloca.com/loadPages_MX.zip

Art, to answer your question, it has been such a long time ago but the main
thing I can remember are the 2 bloke producers I meet and worked with. They
were increadibly professional and homosexuals. But no, there wasn't any of the
set interactions you would like. Thanks for the compliments anyway ;)
