Yeah! Yeah! A lot of fun! No one hid eggs for me!
GF in Paris! Coming back home on May 1st!
var pressed1 = false;
var pressed2 = false;
That's initializing channel button's state. In other words, none of them has been hit yet!
The reason for going to frame 2 instead of 1... is that, if I went back to frame 1, I would re-initialize the buttons' state which I dont want to do.
Been working on channel 3... Trying to dissolve the static in & out rather than cutting to it as in channel 2.
Works partly... Maybe I'll need Dave's help on this!
Will work on two different ways of really loading external movies for channel 4 & 5.
Should also get into converting hours & minutes (the vhs clock) into it's own movie clip... So the main movie would then be only 2 frames: the initializing one and a stop action on the second one.
Going to watch the news... Be back in a while!

hey a thought..when the user closes the window(buttons 1,2,3,4,5)on release of the close window button is when the static needs to start, and it should play untill the user clicks the next button, you know what i mean..
var pressed1 = false;
var pressed2 = false;
That's initializing channel button's state. In other words, none of them has been hit yet!
ok but why?.explain in detail please..(sorry for being stupid)..just want to undersatand completely..
and i was also thinking that i definatly want to use loadmovie_target to get the movies inside the screen..i am going to use a one of those buttons to house all my graphics(flyers,logos,layouts,etc)and some will be high res graphics..so we will need to have the static start playing on close untill the next button is clicked as i stated above then i will preload the loaded movies into the screen..the vcr buttons i have been thinking about as well..was thinking that the rew/ffwd buttons will house a background mc that will change to different backgrounds..the start/stop buttons will play and stop sound(music)..also on the start button that starts the sound on mouse over i want a small screen to pop down and offer a few choices of music(small loops)..
what ya think....

Ok! Seems easy enough! This all should be over with and running in 10 minutes! Just kidding! You'll be lucky if this is up and running by next Christmas! Especially if you keep changing your mind about things...
So what are you saying here! The user won't be able to go from channel to channel without using the close box within each channel? Or is that also a possibility? And shouldn't the static serve as a preloader to movies to be loaded or are you going to have other preloaders on each movie?
Forget the vhs for now... Let's try to concentrate on the main screen ok!
The reason for the var pressed1 = false & etc... Is because, in the movie I'm keeping track of which button as been hit so that I can dissable it until another button has been hit. The reason for that is that in your .fla, let's say you've already hit channel 1 and have your welcome page up, if you re-hit channel 1, the page comes up again from the start with the fade in. In my fla, hitting the button while the page is already up doesn't start it up again cause the button is sort of dissabled until another one is hit. If another channel is hit and another page comes up, then channel 1 button is re-activated so that the welcome page can come up again. You remember closing the welcome page with the close button and not being able to call it up again by hitting channel 1. Well I fixed that, adding the same conditional statement to your close box as to all the other buttons.
The principle is simple: once a page is up, the button that called it is desactivated until another button is hit, or if that page is closed with the close box!
Get it?
