hi,

ive just finished a website in flash which i hope to upload to my server. i followed these tutorials
Basic Flash Website

but now that ive finished it, when i export as a swf (im using cs3 but exporting to flash 8 since i used AS2) the frames keep rotating, they dont stop. ive embedded the flash into the website i will be using:

please visit and advise me on how to fix this

if you want to view the fla file you can download it from here

all help appreciated

P.S. the website is for my latest mod so kinda keep it on teh low down please until i get the website finalised

For some reason I don't seem to have Flash installed, I was gonna go a few screenshots to help explain...

Basically it sounds like you need to add a tiny piece of ActionScript to the last frame in your movie.

This should help.

thanks for your help, but it didnt fix it. what i cant get is that ive downloaded the guy from teh tut's fla and all his AS is the same as what i have. so i dont understand, ive checked all my instance names and everything checks

i made some changes and i got it to stop looping, but i cant navigate the main menu buttons to their directed frames, could some please tell me where i've gone wrong in the coding for the buttons?

Attach your .fla to a post so we can have a look

sorry about that, originally it was a flash 8 file but when i made the chages the other day i mustn't have made it flash 8

OK ive got it open, but I can't see any other content other than the main page for the buttons to jump to.

Where are the other frames?

EDIT: Nm, found it.

Right, it looks to me like you need to have the buttons in the actual 'content' movie clip. At the moment, you have the buttons in a separate movie clip from the frames you want to jump to. Try including the buttons into the 'content' movie clip.

Once they are all on the same timeline, you can use the 'Behavior' window (Windows > Behavior) to set the buttons to go to whatever frame in the 'content' movie clip you wish.

Get the behavior window up then go, + > MovieClip > Goto & stop at frame or label.

Hope that makes sense.

lol this is my first time using flash and i have no idea what your sayin. but dont worry i had a friend from work look at it he said there was a stop() missing in one of my action script layers, he fixed that but now im having problems when i do my scaling in the website, i think ill just make the stage the same size as the viewing resolution for 1024x768 viewers.

thanks for your help, i guess if i didnt blab about flash to a guy at work, you woud have been the knight in shining armour since the main point of this website is to show to the university selectors that i have engineering skills.

thanks again

Haha, glad you got it sorted
