I relate.
I had, in my previous site created a portfolio section where I had thumbnail size images of my pieces scrolling vertically by the movement of the mouse. Tangent.

At any rate the problem...

In your main timeline you would have a couple of frame labels (let's say menu, pop1, pop2, etc.). Now at each of these points in the timeline you would have your menu set up and the individual movie...

You want to use the exact fit option when you're exporting the swf. The only downside is that you have no control over the proportions at that point.

In other words, if you have a perfect square...

Put the insertion point between the letters you want to kern and use the same keys you would use to decrease the tracking with, on the mac it's - command option left arrow.

No fuss no muss.

PNG is what you want for the transparency issue!

It's great, my preferred format.
GIF transparencies suck.

In general though, you want to use whichever format will compress your image files...

Well, that could certainly have something to do with it.

You should always make sure you don't have any duplicate label names.

It could also, possibly, be the export options you have selected....

I haven't tried to create this effect myself but it would seem as simple as creating the text as one block that is angled and has the needed perspective to it, I would probably create it in...

A couple of questions.

What version of flash are you exporting from? And what level of interactivity are you using (flash 3 or 4)?

Of course, if your end solution is a quicktime file and you...

Can't you download it from the macromedia site?

why some of the things I create that rely heavily on actionscripting, for example the text trick I use in my 1.0 site and then the spiral I use as a distraction from the loading in my 2.0 site, play...

There are so many ways to create loading scenes and so many ways to implement them.

Check out the tutorials that you can find here at FlashKit and then check out some of the open source fla's.

I must be a bit confused about what you want to accomplish.

To size a movie clip you would just use the scale function but I don't think that's what you mean.

You were talking about using the...

Why, you little duplicating devil you.

You even duplicated your thread in both sections.

Made me laugh.

Already answered the other one.

Load movie is usually the method you'll want to go to but you don't have to fret over the sizing of the loaded movie if you use the load into location feature.

What you need is a blank or filler...

Easiest solution can be found in the tutorials section here where you can find an example of the yugop type menu system which can be easily adapted for your purposes (though I personally prefer using...

Just make sure that your filler movie clip art is positioned in the mc at 0, 0 and the same goes for your loading swf.

That should do it. LOL.

I'm not quite sure what you are looking to do then.

Do you want one thing to play on the roll over action and nothing to play on roll out?

Phew, do you know what you're asking.

Your question is too vague.

There are numerous open source FLA's and tutorials you can look at. Try that first. But the real wquestion is whether or not...

Yeah, that's definitely the best way to use video in flash. I hate exporting video as stills but them's the breaks as they say.

I don't think this member is talking about anything with that...

Do you want to set the variable or access it's value?

It sounds from your description like you want to update the value or set it in which case you would just
Set Variable: Subject = "This is...

It most certainly is! That's why you can store variables, for further use.

You just need to get the value of the variable using the proper coding with a /: in most cases.

I would need more info...

Perhaps you are talking about converting symbols?

If that is so let me know.

first of all you can't create frames as buttons. It sounds like you're confused about the use of frame actions and button actions.

You could accomplish what I think you're looking to do in any...

Hey StayAwake don't get frustrated if it takes time for people to answer you on a Saturday night.

At any rate, help has arrived.

Okay, what you want to do is use Load Movie into location and...

Creating the form itself is nothing really.

Create text fields with the text field modifier button selected, assign the text fields variables in the text field properties dialog box, as well as...
