View Full Version : Start movie at specific frame on page load

I'm making a navigation bar using flash, the nav consists of two parts - menu buttons (home, about, contact etc etc) and the other part animates on selecting a button (so if one were to select home on the menu, the animation would kick in "welcome to...").

What I'd like to do is use the same movie on the top of each (HTML) page, but for it to start at specific frames depending on what page is selected, eg - on about.html it would start at frame 41, but on index.html the same FLA would start at frame 1. Obviously, I could use lots of seperate FLA's (one for each page), but I'd rather not.

I'm hoping it can be specified in the object tag in the html itself?

If this makes any sense to anyone, please help if you can.

Thank you!!

It involves using variables in your embeded tags. Search the forums for something along those lines.

It looks a bit complicated but you'll figure it out if you read it.
