FLASH: Quicktime firsttime

[stuart mayhew]

Hi please could you read this and tell me what I've

mixed up? This is the first time I have used quicktime

in flash and I cannot find anything on this subject in

the tutorial sites



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 bored, 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!


thanks for any help in this
