Help with flash...?

Question

How can I create a site in Macromedia Flash 8. I know the basic of animating but I would like to know how to link. And make something happen in the same document when you click on something.

Answer 1

It's hard to describe actually.

But basically if Flash is like a movie, you can jump around to different frames within that movie using buttons.

So lets say you have a movie that is 20 frames long. The first 10 frames (1-10) are one animation (and then it stops), and the next 10 (11-20) is another animation.

You can put a button on the first animation that uses the gotoAndStop method to go to frame #11:
gotoAndStop(11)

Hope that makes sense. Google "gotoAndStop" for examples.
