Need Help With Flash Website

[Deleted User]

im mucking around with flash, trying to learn how to make a small website to get the basics done as my course at college requires me to make a flash website in the near future.

i would like to know how to get a current flash page to go back to the previous page automaticly after the animation has finished.

it goes like this

.i have a page with links to flash animations, and short discriptions of each, lets call this flash page.
.when one of the two links is clicked it opens up a new frame and the short flash movies play.

can anyone tell me how i can
A - get it to automaticly go back to the flash page after the movie has played through once (i have tried creating a button with a gotoandplay command, but it just took me to the start of the flash movie)

or

B - tell me how an easy meathod of getting it to open the flash movies in a new window while leaving the flash page window open. ( i read somehting about geturl, but it requires an adress, and i dont have any of this on the web as its just for practise,and i need this set up so i could run it on different comps when i save it on my pen drive. also geturl opens it in a wepage, which i dont want)

any help is appreciated

B - I use swish 2.0 for flash page editing. I don't know which program you use, but there is an option for a link to open up into a new page or in a frame. If you make it open into a frame, make sure you use Frontpage or something to make the frame names consistent with what it is in the flash movie.

It's half-way done, but it uses flash and frames to have a nice blended effect.

I'm afraid you will need to be more specific with your questions, and use the correct terminology, or we havn't got a hope of understanding what you want.

Flash page? What is a Flash page? A HTML page with a Flash movie embedded, or a Scene? Or a section of frames?

Are you talking about a HTML frameset? Or something else? The Flash authoring environment has frames, but you cant 'open up new ones'.

How are you running your Flash movie? In flashplayer.exe? Embedded in a HTML page? Have you asked your teacher?
