I basically have 3 scenes, I want to have back ground music through out the whole movie but control the background music from scene 3 with an on-off button or something. Can some body give an example on how to make this happen. (scripting or tutorial)
Oh yeah & I don't want to make the audio file into an SWF file to be loaded into my flash movie. I want the EXE file to contain everything.
One more thing, I created a BAT file so I could open PDF files from my cd. I minimized the window size in a short cut of the BAT file & 1. it doesn't work & 2. it now won't let me open my SWF file in full screen even after i've deleted the BAT file.
Nevermind my post regarding "full screen"...figured it out. My 3rd scene was not set up for full screen...duh?? actually I just removed that action & all is well again.
Still can't get rid of that damn DOS window when the PDFs are launched. Any chance you've figured that one out for Windows XP? I've created the BAT file & then a short cut. I've minimized the window under "run" in the "short cut" tab but I still get the DOS windows before Acrobat opens.
If not, I'll live with it. I'm just glad I made it this far.
Thanks for every ones help & a special thanks to the man....."Oldnewbie"!
OK got rid of that DOS window, how ever, the short cut of the BAT file is what works. When I double-click on the short cut it works fine! When I double-click on the original BAT file thats when I get that DOS window. So how can I make it go through the short cut? I have both BAT files in the "fscommand" folder. Is this right or does the action script need to say something like this:
//original script:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec","INFO.bat") ;
}
//SHOULD IT BE?:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec","Shortcut to INFO.bat") ;
}
Cause I've tried that & its still opening with the DOS window.
This is my last problem & I'm home FREE!!!
