I am having some difficulty in getting KoolMoves or Flash player to retain a colour. Or I am doing something wrong.
: Overview :
Two lines of text links, and one shape link.
The links in the second line change across frames.
All text links have two states (up and over, with no down state).
Each link moves to another frame in the movie and also loads a page in a frame window.
All were set up as follows:
. Text created.
. Additional Frames created, carrying the text across all frames.
. Properties set to interactive, etc and colours set to:
.. UP: White (255,255,255)
.. OVER: Pale gold (255,255,206) or eggshell, text italicised.
All done in one frame but impacting on all frames (without changing the selection scope, which is at default value, this frame only)
Finally, in each frame where the frame was the destination for the link, the UP state was changed to grey: 128,128,128
When playing, the movie shows all UP colours correctly, and the first text link on the line correctly for the over state.
The properties (color) attributes show 255,255,206 on the colour wheel/globe thing.
Editing properties frame by frame to try to get the colour to hold does not fix this.
Other links have a golden look, at a guess somewhere in the region of 192,192,64 when the mouse moves across them to give the OVER state.
All this is done in a movie called "menu".
Another (title) movie loads and plays menu on startup.
: -- ?? -- :
I can zip up the project and send it to you via email if you want (19 files, 18kb, with 2 swf, 2 fun, container html, frame html, some empty pages).
Or you can point me in the right direction here, if I have made a boo-boo.
PS: I have some thoughts on things that would enhance your already good user interface. Do you prefer these posted here, for discussion, or emailed to you?
