Title: RE: FLASH: Navigation mystery

hi all

 

In flash 4 you do actuallyy now have control over the scale rotation and placing of your loaded flash movies using the load to target. This essentiallt loads a movie into a symbol instance, and any effects that are applied to the symbol you load into are applied to the loaded movie.

 

Which is nice.

cheers dave

Using the Loadmovie command within flash is a great means of loading the information required on demand. You do not have to load as much initially and only load the information required upon the browsers request.

By loading another shockwave movie within the one shockwave movie is a great navigation means. You also have control over which layer the movies appear on which is very handy.

Things to note is that when you should construct your seperate flash movies you should do them all at the same size to make sure they sit properly over the origanl flash. You do not have control of where the movie opens up within the otehr movie unless they are the same size.

I am still new to Flash, but I noticed that www.citibank.com actually
uses multiple files.  Take a look:

The html page:
http://www.citibank.com/domain/stage_fl.htm

The main file used:
http://www.citibank.com/domain/flash/home.swf

And a file that it links to (just a random guess):
http://www.citibank.com/domain/flash/career.swf

Please accept my apologies if what I pointed out is common
sense Flash.

James
