Hello everyone.
I should start by saying I have basically never used Flash before, but I know a little about it but not the full extent of its capabilities. I am wondering if it can help me in my university project.
Basically, my problem is this, I am a 3D modeller, and have created video files showing a fly-through tour of an old church - the people funding my course want me to be able to integrate it with a website in the following way - the video file should zoom in on a piece of historical interest and stop, at which point buttons should appear on the video file (i.e overlayed) saying for instance "give me more information about this" at which point a new window is opened with the proper website page.
Most notably at the same time as this option is presented, another button should allow the user to CONTINUE the video file playing. So there are stage after stage of these options to get more info, or to just continue with the video, all in a webpage.
Is this something that Flash can help me with? or I am barking up the wrong tree entirely? I have recently purchased the Flash 8 Bible and got hold of the software since I can see the power of this great bit of kit, but if it could help me with this too I would fall in love with it!
Many Thanks for any help you can give.
