Flash5 SWF Pausing In Dir8.5

[Guest_imported]

hello there:

i'm new to Dir8.5 ...

does anybody know why the following lingo pauses on the last frame of the swf intro?
and does not advance the playback head to the main menu (gui).

this lingo is dropped on the swf intro as a script, which is on the score.

on exitFrame
if sprite (1).movieRate = 1 then
go to "menu"
else
go to "frame1swfIntro"
end if
end

many thanks.

try something like this.. On the final frame of your flash movie execute an FScommand that sends the message introdone. In shockwave make a movie script thats like this

on evalscript vExternalRequest

case vExternalRequest of
"introdone":
go next
end case
end

The reason I used a case is because there are times when you might have some very complex things comming from flash movies. For example I have used flash interfaces with play, FF, RW, volume and other buttons that all told director what button was pressed of the case had lots of items in it.

Should do what you need.
