i need some help...ive dropped myself in the **** bigtime....
ive designed this interactive tutorial thing in Flash which will be on both CD-ROM and on the net - the CD-ROM version is all cool, it works fine....on the net though....
ive uploaded it as a SWF file sitting on an html page, you click the link and it opens....it was designed in Flash5 to play on a Flash5 player - due to restrictions at work we cant use any higher than this.
there are loads of scrolling text boxes and little movie clips in there, but when a user opens the SWF, they can see the buttons you use to move the scrolling text up and down, but not the text itself! this is really weird cos both the buttons and the text box are held inside the same movie clip...
also, some movie clips dont appear when they should, you need to go back and forth to that point in the tutorial about 3 times so you can see it....
i uploaded it thinking all was cool, emailed the link to about 20 very big cheeses at work, now ive got phone calls and emails demanding why my project is shite and doesnt work - this is a four month project that ive worked myself into the ground doing and im the only person at my work who can use Flash, so i really need some help!
i'm not sure whether everyone at work has Flash5 player, i think they have, but it seems to only work on my machine, so does everyone need a full copy of Flash5 to get my thing to work?
p.s. i designed all the quizzes/text boxes etc using tutorials from this site, so surely they should work?!!!
