Is This practical?

[BeZerKmedia]

Hi everyone - I am new here :)

I want to have a flash movie thats
like a constant update on part
of my site: www.ClubFreestyle.com
In the center area..

Is this practical - or should I stick
to HTML?

Parts of the movie would change weekly
to inform the peeps on new happenings.

I like flash allot and it would acheive a nice
effect.

If this is a good idea - would i just have 1 template
that would change?

Thanks - if this needs to be more clear, let me know.

An Example of what I want to do is on this site:

http://www.worldpop.com/

In the NOW SHOWING secttion of that page.

Sure thing, man..Once you get the template down, it's just a matter of putting the new content in the fla and publishing it once a week!

Thanks red penguin.

Red - the file size is HUGE check it-

Any tips?

Maybe do each one as a move and then call in
the others?

Please assist.

Huge? In how? I had no probs...
"THIS IS A TEST OF OUR NEW INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS"...but it's not interactive...

I know - it will be interactive when I get this working :)

The file size was 60 K on those 2 combined clips..
I am trying to make 1 movie that randomly calls
my other movies into the location..
So far i got this non-working:

randomNum = Math.Round(Math.random() * 10);
loadMovie ("cftest" + randomNum + ".swf", 1);


it dosent load anything up, just itself - it's
not running this code/

In my folder I have the main filr
cftest.swf

plus these movies that I wanted
to randomly put in:

cftest1.swf
cftest2.swf

Any idea?

[red penguin]

loadMovie..it's arguments are, as you are using it(global method), it is looking for a target in the form of a string...either a mc or a level...
loadMovie ("cftest" + randomNum + ".swf", "_level1");
hope that's it...

You Are The MAN!!

But

What I REALLY want is for the 1 main movie
to go in a linear order loading other movies back to back like
in peeps.com

RED, please refer to this page now:

http://www.clubfreestyle.com/ftest/cftest.htm

I took it off of my home page - thanks.

What changes to the code need to be done?

[red penguin]

You'd just need an increment value instead of a random number...if it is over the alotted number of files, then set it back to "1"...
