especially windows users(!) please let me know if all of the content appears confined to within the display window that refreshes when you click on each topic. previously it "leaked" out onto the rest of the interface and looked pretty messy... until i fi
gured out i needed to mask the window.... (ooops!)
many thanks in advance!

| The videos don't stop when you go to another one.
You can have all the videos playing at the same time.
The button text for "websites" overlaps the display area. You may want to move them all down or reduce the font size.
Other than that, it's an excellent site.

| Your loading time was extremly long for the initial load time. Needs a preloader. The preloader that is in place I only see when its at 98% then boom its loaded.
Another quark I have is under contact you should have a mailto link.
Other than that it is a very nice site.
I viewed it at:
1024x768
IE6
winXP
High Speed internet

| thanks! i have a preloader, but don't know why it only kicks in at 98% then boomm it's there... i have "export on first frame" checked on the instance propoerties window of the preloader. other than that i don't know what to do.

| i haven't quite figured out how to stop the videos from playing. tried using "unload" but the whole interface disappears. i just left it thinking it wasn't that important... any idea what code i can use and on what frame/instance?
there was a slight glitch that i had when the movie gets to the end: it goes back to the first frame and starts over. fixed this on the "red collection" video, but haven't gotten back around to fixing the others..
thanx!!!

| Not knowing exactly how you have everything set up, but here's an idea.
When you click the start button, you could call a function in the parent.
The parent function should turn off all movies that didn't call it.
I didn't test the below script, but you can probably get the idea.
i.e.
-- in the individual movie control
on(press){
_parent.stopMovies(thisMovieNumber);
}
-- in the parent movie
movieCount = 5; -- number of movies
function stopMovies(movieX){
for (x=0; x<_root.movieCount; x++){
if (x != movieX){
_root["movieClipHolderName" + x].gotoAndStop(1);
-- or you could call a function that stops the movie.
}
}
}

| thx! i will try this out. one question:
on the "in the parent movie" code, do i place this code on the first frame of the sliding panel MC?
the setup is:
main movie>(local) sliding panel MC >holder window (into which to load the external MC)>external video MC (loaded when you click "watch the video" button)
cheers

| It's probably best to put it at the root level.
If you put it on the slide panel you will have to include it in the path of the function.
i.e.
_root.slidePanelInstanceName.stopMovies();
or
_parent.slidePanelInstanceName.stopMovies();
You'll have to play around with it. Set up a text field and name the instance (myDebugField) and put it somewhere on the main movie that can be viewed at all times. Then, when you try the click or the function, put the trace information into the text fi
eld.
i.e.
instead of
trace("this is my output");
do
myDebugField.text = "this is my output";
That will help you find where it fails, since this will probably be a trial and error thing.
I found out the long and hard way that passing parameters from a loaded movie only works in run time and not the preview in the Flash IDE. So, you'll have to run it on your test website a few times.
The movie count can be set to _global to make things easier. If you are loading the movies dynamically, then you would just set it again after each movie is loaded.
_global.movieCount = _global.movieCount++;
If not, you can still put the _global parameter on the root first frame.

| An alternate to placing them in a BIN scene is to place them in frame 1 of
the scene in which they appear, outside of the stage area so they will not
be disaplayed within the movie.
