Loading a movie

[gromgutten]

I have made a intro to my page.
But i don't know how to make the whole file into a movie clip.
Is this possible?
The plan is to make the intro in to a movie clip so that I can easily play the movie, and then remove the movie clip and point the page into different section, the main section of the page.

peace out,
Gromgutten

hey

if I understand you correctly.

you need to create a new symbol - which will either be a button, graphic or movie clip. select movie clip, and do your intro in there.

when you've finished, drag this movie clip onto the scene.

NB, always give your movie clips, instance names!

hope this helps

thanx :)

Hi,

if I understand well,
you maybe have intro which is completed by some clips and you have it main timeline in some layers. So,, I think good way is select all layers with objects that are contained in intro, convert it to movieclip by F8. Erase all these layers on main timeline. Keep only one for our new movieclip. Edit your new mc and select the only one frame there which is full. You see on the scene a little circle, so right-click on it and select Distribute to layers. Now you have the same layers here like before on the timeline.
Don't remember name all instances if you access them by code and also name our new instance on main timeline.

Good way everytime do one important habbit. When you make new movieclip, huge or tiny - doesn't matter) make first layer named CODE, second LABELS and other layers bellow. On first frame of CODE layer put stop(); and on LABEL first frame put for example STOP (i mean put it to the little input box for name of instances). on the for ezxample 10th frame of CODE put play() and to LABEL put for example GO.

When you do this little stuff everytime you create new movieclip, you have good control over everething and now you can very easily control it by AS from main timeline or some "driver" movieclip.

If you already know all these stuff, sorry for that ;-)
I hope I didn't make chaos in your knoledges;-))

good luck man

Can't I just make the page run "intro" and then jump to another .SWF file called "Mainpage"?

Or do I want the page with as few .SWF files as possible?
