FLASH: Quicktime first time....

[Stuart Mayhew (Garanti Teknoloji)]

Please help me I am drowning,

I'd tried the ways suggested in the manual, but I must be doing something wrong!

I thought it'd be simple...


could you read this and tell me what I've mixed up?


imported the quicktime movie into the library,

linked movie to path in properties option,

dragged it into a new movie clip symbol

added necessary extra frames.

I was thinking I could use this movie clip as an instance

and target it with mouse events (using tell target) from the main time line

movie.

So...


then I dragged this movie clip into the parent movie

and made it the target for the interaction.

But when I do this, on export, as quicktime, I don't get anything.


I basically cannot create a movie clip of the Quicktime

that operates as an instance to target. Have I been doin' it wrong?


Isn't it possible to treat a quicktime movie as a target like this?




And if you're not too busy, how about...


I tried load movie but this seems to require the time line

to be as long as the loaded movie.

I want the movie to jump around independent of the parent time

line on mouse events.

I've designed an interface with buttons that float in and out over a few

frames

and when using load movie the movie's responding to mouse events

which I want only to effect the parent movie.



Any advice would be most excellent like a on line tutorial name!
