Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Site Design / July 2008How do you make only the middle part change?
I'm trying to design my website and I have a top part with a logo and bottom part with the menu and the middle part with all the content - all the pages look the same except for the middle part. How do I design the website so that when I click a button in the menu, only the middle part changes? I don't want it to jump from page to page because Im using music on my site and I don't want the the music to stop and start every time someone clicks to a new page. This website does it: melissajill.com I know this will probably be a long answer, so if anyone has a link to an online tutorial or something, thanks so much!!!http://www.melissajill.com If everything is in the same flash movie, then just make the "middle" its own movieclip. Then you can control that movieclip separately from the content above and below it. Id love to try that - how do you make something its own movie clip? The middle part is a slideshow so theres a bunch of those key frames spread out along the top - I tried to create the rest of the page in flash (I was using dreamweaver before ) - and it was a big mess. Im kinda flash dumb - so far. Thank you so so much! Select all of the frames that compose that section of your movie. From the Edit menu, select Timeline... and then select copy frames. Then go to the Insert menu and select New Symbol. When the new window opens, select MovieClip and give it a name, Then select the first frame of the new timeline. Go back to the Edit menu and select Timeline again and then select Paste frames. You'll now have a movieClip that contains that content. You can place that movieClip on the main timeline and it will play. Once you are satisfied with this new movieClip, you can delete the original content from the main timeline, everything is now contained in that movieClip. Really really really brilliant advice - thank you a million times! Really, thank you. Theres no way I could have done it without that instruction. It looks exactly the way I wanted it to look - next saturday Im going to get hosting and publish it to the web - I can't wait! :) |
