[CS3] Stop MC from restarting when a navigation button is clicked?!

[k-town chika]

Hi everyone.

its been so long, I can't remember how to do the simplest things

I am making a website... it has a MC of rotating skylines and the navigation is also done in flash.

Any time I click on any of the nav options, the MC with the rotating skylines resets itself.

is there a way of doing this so that it doesn't happen?

Tanks

yeah, put a stop to it !

MC_with_the _rotating_skylines.stop();

if that doesnt answer your question then you've not explained it well.

I assume what's happening here is that you're navigating to a new page and the swf with the rotating skyline is being reloaded and therefore starting over at the beginning again (resetting)? In that case you either need to use frames (talking about HTML here, not anything in Flash) and put it in a page which just loads the other pages into a frame on that page, in which case your skyline swf won't get reloaded. Otherwise (I'd use this option) you can pass the skyline's previous position to the new page's swf using a FlashVar and use that info to rotate the new skyline to the correct position! Yay!
