Does anybody have an answer...please

I've got a news box to appear but there is one problem...

It appears straight away and below the flash movie....

I need the news box to appear and begin to play after the movie has finished....

And i need it to play over the bottom left-hand corner of the flash movie framset....

http://www.cresselle.com is where the flash movies plays...then when that finishes and stops i need the news box to appear over the bottom right corner...of the stopped movie...

Is this possible...

Thanks...

Put the box in a movie clip and have a blank frame as the first frame with a stop action in it. Put the box in the second frame and put a stop in that as well. Then on the frame your movie stops at put this;

_root.boxMovieclipinstancaname.gotoAndStop(2);

hi woody fx,

Am I right in thinking that the news box is in HTML rather than flash?

then just put it in a <div> layer, so won't be covered by the flash. when the page loads, hide this <div> layer and disable any scrolling javascript you have running - this way the news scroller doesn't show.

in the very last frame of your flash animation, you should use the fscommand statement to call a javascript function in your document which unhides (ie. shows) the news scroller and starts the scrolling.

hope this helps, if your not so sure about the javascript have a look at some javascript sites, it shouldn't be too difficult to do (make sure it will work on all browsers though!). the fscommand is explained pretty well in the Flash help files.

does this solve it??

see ya - n.

oh - and just an afterthought, why don't you incorporate the news scroller into the Flash movie?

you can use loadVariables to load the news text and do a scrolling text box there - maybe it would look a bit more integrated that way.

just a thought anyway - see ya - n.
