I would love to run my homepage completely in flash...
check out http://www.sours-kitchen.co.uk
Basically I want to put the links for my animations onto my actuall flash page not the html one.
Im not sure if i'm typing this correctly but in html I just made hyperlinks to the flash movies on my harddrive and once pressed...hey presto the things play...yet i dont seem to be able to do this in flash..I have found push buttons in flash components
(which seem to be the closest thing to what Im lookin for) but was wondering if any of you could help me with some action script for me to link the pressing of a button on my flash page to actually playing my flash animations on my harddrive...and also uploaded to my friends webserver in denmark.
Any help would be great...........Ta

Hi and welcome :)

I think that you would be well advised to check out the Flash Help - lessons and tutorials. This is as good a place as any to get going in Flash and will quickly get you up to speed with simple buttons and the like.

You could put this on the instance of the button on the stage:
on(release){
loadMovieNum("myMovie.swf", 1);
} Where "myMove.swf" is the name of your movie, "1" is the level into which you want to load the movie. But like I said you should try the lessons and also start on the excellent tutorials supplied on this site. Happy Flashing:D

Hello again...right i have followed the tutorials and have made my flash movie run in my flash homepage....
http://www.sours-kitchen.co.uk
if any of u have time please check my page out just to see what I mean....the trouble is that my homepage is supposed to be yellow/orange and so is my flash based page...but when clicking on the green button (dont ask) my short movie is supposed to have a black background but seems to be using the yellow/orange from the page b4 it.
I have to play my movie short on level 0 as any other level either doesnt show the film or it continues to play forever when just opening the flash page (it seems to forget i have a button at all)...driving the viewer mental....namely me :)
Im sure the tutorials will help but I dont know which one to look at as I dont really know the cause....pls help and I'm sure to leave u all in peace..:confused:
