Hello Everybody,
I need somebody to help me. I'll try and provide as much detail as possible. I have developed a photo gallery in flash. Its a photo gallery of places and politicians.
In my timeline I have a layer called "places". On the "places" layer I have a button which reads "places", the buttons four states (up, over, down, hit) each set to display different button states ("UP" displays a blue button, "Over" displays a green button, "Down" displays a yellow button", "HIT" does nothing). Similarly, I have another layer called "politicians" below the "places" layer. Below that I have 6 other layers, caption_places, leftHandPix_places, placesPix, caption_politicians, leftHandPix_politicians and politiciansPix (in that order). So just to recap I have 8 layers in my timeline, this is the order:
places
politicians
caption_places
leftHandPix_places
placesPix
caption_politicians
leftHandPix_politicians
politiciansPix
The "caption_places" layer has 30 keyframes, each displaying a caption for the picture.
The "leftHandPix_places" layer has only one keyframe that displays a picutre of a place.
The "placesPix" layer has 30 keyframes, each displaying a picture
I hope this is making sense. Now then, when the user clicks on the "Places" button, he sees a picture of a place, he can then see the next picutre in the place picture gallery and so forth. I want the "places" button state to be "green" (Over) for as long as the user is in the places category. When he clicks on the "Politicians" button, the Politician button should be selected and should stay selected for as long as the user is viewing the politicians photo gallery.
Can somebody show me how to do this please. I would really appreciate your help.
Best Regards
Allan
