Hi all,
I need help with some noobie problems iv got so here goes:
1) i made my intro page and used the stop(); script to stop it looping but it still loops... how can i get it to stop once it has played so that ppl can click enter?
2) i have a flower pic appearing down one side and i would like the page to be full size in the browser regardless of screen rez (liquid layout) i think i have told the AS and HTML to show it at 100% H and W but it still shows small.
3) i have use the standard 12 fps setting and the intro looks abit choppy... what is the best fps to use?
im using flash 8 and dreamweaver 8. On the html page i have made a 3 x 3 table to hold the flash movie in the center cell and expand it all but nothing works.
if you need to see the movie let me know
any help would be great,
Thanks in advance

Well the kinda problems you are facing are comepltely illogical and hence I would say you show us the movie.
Secondly about the fps question... Use 30 fps. The standard for VCD's etc is 29.97 or 29.95 fps rounding off = 30.
Also, because 30 fps is light on the CPU as well. I don't know the logic behind it but it's true.
You could go at any multiple of 30, as in 60 fps or even 90 fps (and I have seen flash movies playing at 90 fps) but they are ridiculously complex and most of all, don't make any sense anymore.
So I'd say, stick with 30. People often use 24 fps, which I think is good enough but some of the choppiness still lingers at 24.
I know a part of the logic though: Human retina projected images stay in the brain for around 1/20th of a second... So if your movie is faster it seems to be playing smoother.
I dunno the rest, but I again emphasize, stick with 30 fps. 12 fps is too boring and bland and most of all: not workable.
All the best bro and try and show us the movie and the code if possible.

as for the stop(); script, if you have put that actionscrip on a specific frame, your movie should stop.
if your intro is a movieclip itself, and that movieclip is within a frame on your main timeline, try putting the stop(); actionscript on the last frame of your movieclip.

Hi
Thanks for the feedback. I will get on the fps problem in a while.
I have included the .fla file for you to look at and here is the HTML code for the flash movie, remember that im very new to flash and the movie will suck compared to what iv seen from others on this site
I did the intro as a movie, TIRUS, and i just aded a frame at the end and used the AS box to put the stop in... its probably not the way to do it but hey, im learning lol

i still get a file with no extension and when i add the extension fla or swf, it doesnt work.
send me an email with the fla file.
also, for anyone else, if you want to try and get the attachment to work, it doesnt show up on his posts. you need to quote his post, go to reply, and preview the reply with his quoted post, and the zip file attachment will show up.
