Re: Animation for menu items

Boy, I guess I'm confused now.

Here's the approach I'm taking. I have four menu items, each with a different color box for that button.

I have created swf files of the action that takes place when a menu item is selected. For instance, when the orange box is selected, it is to load the swf file named "OrangeAll.swf". This swf file contains the animation that goes on to introduce the contents of that menu item (i.e, the orange box is the "About Us" section. I have a Stop in that swf file where it stops once the contents is there. If I didn't, the animation would continue and the animation to remove the imagery of that section would take place. (i.e. the fade out concept from the link example I posted earlier.)

So what I would like to have happen is that if they select the button from another menu item, say the purple box, the actions for that purple button would be to finish playing the "OrangeAll.swf contents after the pause to remove the orange content area imagery, then load and play the swf for the purple area content, or the "PurpleAll.swf" file.

I don't think I'm headed in the right direction with this though.

Help???
