I am setting up a site which I need an animation to play, then display the proper area of information...then if I click another area, not play the animation, but display a different piece of information...then use a close button, to reverse the animation...
I believe I might have to use a lot of variables, and I was wondering if there way perhaps a way to lay it all out in a time line, and have me click a button, it set a variable, then the animation run if it hasn't, then at the end, jump to the area that I needed...I would have it say, like a variable
WhiteBoard = Boolean
Area = 1 through 4 (I have 4 areas)
Then, perhaps if I clicked on a button, it set area to whatever section it was going to, at the beginning of the movie clip, it would check if whiteboard was true, if not, it would play the animation, then if the animation was up, then instead of playing, it would skip to the area I needed it....then a little close button would play the sequence in reverse to close the whiteboard....
Ok, so I can get started on this...how can I set variables, and call them from another movie?...I've looked on variable tutorials, but for some reason, the things I find here help more.
