How should I proceed...?

[Kimo9909]

The image link below is to give you the visual example of my chosen project. I will have a next button and a back button. The Flash show will begin with fall. Fall will have colored leaves falling, pumpkins glowing, etc. Winter will have wind blowing, snow falling, etc. Spring will have flowers blooming...etc. Summer will have children playing and a "June Bug" flying. My problem is this...I will create them each individually -> a new stage (with BG image) for each with all of the effects. How do I bring it all together into one Flash show? What button calls could I use to change (fade out/in transition between scenes) between the scenes. I email my instructor but I believe she is out of town this weekend. I don't really need help putting together the individual scene just bringing them all together. Thanks in advance!

Take care,
Ed

P.S.: I aplolgize for reposting this...I'm using Flask 8 and I didn't post here first!

I personally don't think the way to go would be to have different scenes. I would have it all on one scene, with 8 keyframes, every other one with a stop(); action. In each frame without a stop(); action, make the fades by fading one in and one out, but both images on that frame. I don't really know if that will work, or even if you know what I'm talking about (because I am terrible at explaining things), but try it out and let me know.

Go to the movies section of FlashKit and download the Photo Fade program I built. Here's the link:

This program has a forward button and a back button just like you want. The images it loads are external SWF files - so you can not only place each of your Seasons pictures in the SWF files, but you can also apply whatever coding you want as the SWF files are imported. (A program within a program.)

Another option might be this program:

This program slides to the coordinates of the stage. You can also have any number of images embedded here.

Good luck with your project!
