Re: FLASH: Remembering variables after leaving a swf

[Robbert - Jan]

That won't be necessary.

As far as I understand what your trying to do is that you have a flash

animation that has somewhere at the end of the movie some interaction which

results with a "get URL" action. which leads the user to a following page,

and your trying to create something that when the user goes 'back' on the

following page using his browser's 'back' button the user doesn't see the

animation anymore but a static frame that's also at the end of your

animation.

is this is right, if yes...

then you're now thinking ways too complicated :)


You'll only have to put a frame loaded command into the first frame of your

intro animation movie (as suggested earlier on the list). if the movie is in

the cache, then the movie is already loaded, and if you've got the

frameloaded command set up right to go to your latest frame. The user

doesn't see the animation anymore and will go straight to your latest frame

:)


do you get it, or is the above in a very large grey area for you ?


p.s. why does the user have to use the 'back' button, is this a necessary

and usefull action to the user.

seems to me it's useless interaction.
