MC interactivity

[thebloodpoolkid]

what I want to do is make an interactive x-mas card.

what I want is to have a button the stage, when pressed, snow will begin to fall and an mp3 file will begin to play.

also on the stage I would want scrolling text which the end user can control the speed the text scrolls.

any suggestions or possible tutorial I should check out would be very helpfull.

put the snow animation and the sound into an mc - give it an instance name of snow

make the first frame of the mc blank with a stop action

button will say

on(release){
snow.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

what sort of control do you want on the text? start/stop?

make an mc and inside that put a tween of the text going bottom to top

give it an instance name of "theText"

stop button

on(release){
thetext.stop();
}

play button

on(release){
theText.play();
}

cheers
