basic homepage help

[mrtickles]

Hello all i am new to flash 8 and i am finding it all very confusing.

Ok i have built a basic homepage with just a background, A title for the page and 8 buttons down the side of my page. All i want to do now is to be able to press any of the buttons which will then display a new window on the same page displaying more text.

Can anyone point me in the right direction i would be very grateful

Seth:rolleyes:

This could be done in several different ways...

You could attach some movie clip from the Library, holding text, pictures or whatever else...

Or simply load some text in a textfield, nested in a movie clip, that you can fade in or out, on a press of a button...

Thanks for your reply,

This sounds exactly what i am trying to do. My problem is i am a newbie to all this and i dont really understand actionscript commands can you explain how to load text in a text field nested in a movie clip.

Can you attach the .fla you've got?

Ive tried to attach my flash file but its saying invalid format so i tried a rar file but still no good. May be i should give up as i cant even do that lol

Zip format would work...

Worst case, use a .rar, but change the extension to .zip before uploading it.

But it has to be lower than 500KBs.
