FLASH: DROPDOWN, preload, load movie, tell target,TUTORIAL - as promised

[mbain]

Hi, about this whole navigatiom mystery thing I started when asking the question

about the dennisinter site ...i figured some stuff out and wanted to share it

with those who want it shared with them.


I have to the best of my ability (keeping in mind i did this while the wife was

cooking dinner and I had limited "free time" - hehehe) wrote this tutorial that

will show:


One solotion for a dropdown menu, using load movie and tell target

Preload of a movie.


To see the example go to www.futuredynamics.co.za/fdflash4.html  (this is a work

in progress - but give your input if you like)

To download all the associated files (fla, swf, html, txt) and see how it was

done go to:

www.futuredynamics.co.za/droptut.zip   (and save the file to disk - and UNZIP

all the files in the SAME directory or folder or treeview or whatever people

call it these days)

READ the README file I have zipped with the rest for some instruction


I dunno on who's macs, pc etc this will work but here is some info:

I am using an amd k6II - 333 Compaq pressario 1255 laptop

running windows 98

and using flash4

the files were zipped with winzip.


Hope this helps everyone who discussed this navigational mystery or at least

point you in some direction.


PS. If people like the tutorial i might be persuaded to do some more ....hehehe

...anycase ...I would really like your feedback :o)


ps2. this is but one solution and not the only one ....just wanted to share it

with you :o)
