FLASH: Making a Christmas Card

[PJ Hruschak]

I'm a Flash developer but am not very familiar with the action 

scripting. I am creating a Christmas card and want viewers to be able 

to turn on and off 4 background functions of the movie (music, snow 

falling, a snowman dancing and lights blinking), so that any 

combination of each can be on (making 16 possible variations), while 

not interrupting the primary timeline.


I can get each of these functions to work with the whole timeline on 

their own, and a few in combination by creating a scene for each 

variation (so 17 scenes - one for all off and 16 for all combinations 

of on), but I continue to get label errors since I am duplicating the 

same scene multiples times.


Can anyone fine a nice way for me to do this using action script? I 

want to send this as a self-contained movie as an attachment to ppl. 

(so I am not certain if loading multiple swf files will work)?


Thanks in advance!
