[Pro] activate movie clip

Hello all,

Newbie here, and am trying to find which solution is best for this problem.

I’ve made an animation in Flash which I’ll use as the background image for my opening page. I’ve also made some rollover menu buttons. What I’d like to happen is for the animation to play when my mouse is hovering over any of the rollover buttons, and the animation stops when I mouse out over the buttons.

Is this possible in Freeway? Or would I need to do the whole thing in Flash?

thanks,
Mario

is hovering over any of the rollover buttons, and the animation

Short of some custom JavaScript programming, which I’m not even
certain would work reliably, I think what you’re talking about would
have to be done as a complete Flash production.

And that’s quite apart from the point that you may be trying to layer
things over that Flash movie. Unfortunately, you simply cannot expect
non-Flash content to show up over the top of Flash media in a web
page. One or two browsers can manage this, but the majority
(including that favourite of idiots, Internet Explorer) will let the
Flash content obliterate whatever other stuff ‘should’ be shown there.

Basically, do it all in Flash or rethink the idea. Sorry!

(BTW, it is generally best to ask questions in the main Freewaytalk
area. This section gets far less traffic and you might not get
answers when you need them.)

Ahhh, I knew there wasn’t gonna be an easy way out of the obstacle I’m at.

But many thanks for the quick reply (and the Freewaytalk area tip), thatkeith! I think I will be hanging out for quite some time in these forums. :slight_smile:
