I want to create an animated introduction movie which will then go to my main site. Is it better to create two separate movies (that links) or one big movie?

I'm trying to create a web based welcome display for a building entrance. The project would include:
1) A wmv movie play constantly on the digital display until some visitors touch the screen (this can be played either locally or on the internet, but it has to be able to go to number 2 when visitors touch the screen)
2) A couple of buttons with department names show up for visitors to choose who they are here to see
3) After the visitor touch on one button, an email is sent to the department
4) the site should go back to the number 1) again
My experience is html, css, php, javascript, and some Flash, but I'm open to learn new skills. Can someone please suggest some good ways to build this site? Is there any tutorials or good sites I can learn from, that would be a bonus. Edit: so I'll use html5 and javascript. I have a couple of further questions, Since this is going to be a kiosk, the same movie is going to be played constantly, everytime after the customer has contacted us, the 'thank you' page is going to show briefly and go back to the first movie page. My question is how can I not let the movie load again and again everytime when there is a customer?
Because the local data space for the display is going to be limited. I've been thinking if I just create one page for the whole process and use a javascript slide to make each page as a div, so the movie div is going to be hiden so it doesn't need to be reloaded again, would that fix number 1) data space concern? I'm thinking of using a horizontal slide like [URL] How can I make the last div (thank you) to show about 5 secs and go to the first div (movie) again?
I need to create a button in a flash movie that links to a url, but the link needs a Class to be associated to it from an external style sheet so that it launches correctly.

View 1 Repliesi used kirupa's [URL].. tutorial to create a movie with buttons that load external movies and works seamlessly.
my problem is that i want to do the same thing on the external movies that are loaded so to be able to load new external movies on top of them. it does not work and i know its because of the _root script that gets messed up when a new movie is loaded. it has to become _parent or smthing but i can't seem to be able to make it work..
I have a main movie, and use the following code to call an external movie:
on (release) {
loadMovie ("http:url....);
}
Fine I've no problems with this, however once I am in portfolio.swf I want to be able to call an ASP file when I click on a button I.e if I click button 1, I get files records for ID 1 and if I click button 2, I get file record for ID 2. The button click happens in the main movie, have I can pass a variable in between seperate movies?
I'm having trouble figuring out how to get this image slideshow to have separate links for each picture. I've researched online and I can't seem to make sense of what I've found in relation to the code I have.

1.the new homepage.swf will load over the index.swf after pressing enter button on index.swf which is set up through the .fla
2. movie wont load
am i not setting the target properly or? no target? or am i not using the loadMovie("example.swf"); action script properly
in short im just trying to get it to work like an html page, click one link, takes you to that page, click another link, and it takes you to a different part of the page.
I am wondering how to make a movie clip that contains automatic vertical scrolling dynamic text(from an external .txt file) I dont want to press buttons to scroll text, I need it to be constantly scrolling, then loop once the text has been read from the external txt file.
I also require each line of the dynamic text to be clickable links that will take each line of text to a specific link. Ive uploaded a zip file containing fla and swf i found which shows vertical scrolling text. However if i move any of the graphics and text field clips around the stage the text cannot be seen anymore. why is this? can you put all of the items on the main stage in a movie clip so i can resize and move the scroller around the stage?? I tried this but again the text disapeared when i exported the movie? Is this due to the x + y co ordinates in the scripting?
How can you adjust the size of this scroller without this happening? Can the scrolling text be taken from an external file and each line of text be a seperate hyperlink? Follow this link (copy and paste it into your browser window, DONT click on it): [URL]..
I'm trying to create 2 separate motion tweens - between frame 1 to frame 35 and frame 36 to 65 but it just won't work.
From frame 1 I want a motion tween to frame 35. We shall call the graphic in frame 1, graphic 1 and frame 35 graphic 2.
Graphic 3 represents frame 35 and graphic 4, frame 36.
When I make a motion tween from frame 1 to 35, it overwrites graphic 3 and 4 with Graphic 1. It will not allow me to put graphic 3 into frame 35, only graphic 1. If i put it in, it will automatically swap.
When I make a motion tween from frame 36 to 65, it works. But then when I try to make the motion tween from frame 1 to 35, it swaps it over.

View 1 RepliesI have a menu bar that has 2 Drop down menus. Each drop down is a separate movie clip, with 3 buttons inside that are separate movie clips. I have a class set to the buttons that are movie clips for a roll over effect. But when I mouse over it does not work. Also on the main time line I tried to add a like to a web page but it did not work. But I only have this problem with the movie clips that are inside the drop down movie clips.
Why is this? How do I add roll over actions and external links to movie clips that are inside of another movie clip?

I am trying to create and delete empty movies that I can load external .swfs into. While the below works if I get rid of

I can't work out how to dynamically name the empty movies, as the below just comes up with errors. I'm pretty new to AS3 and stuck. Any ideas?

var currentLoaded = "my_loader" + myNum;
function loadNew (myNum){

I want to create a series of rotating movies, ad style that are a bit of animation accompanied by music. All of the movies are loading into a dummy movie which works fine. My problem is this, I want to have it so that if the user turns the music off in any of the external movies that are feeding into level 0, that the music off/on setting will carry over to the movies which follow.
Now I'm assuming that this can be done w/ variables but I'm not quite sure of the syntax.
I'm trying to take a png and create two images, one that represents the color data and the other a grayscale version of the alpha channel.
Extracting the correct data was no problem, i'm just embedding the png, creating a new instance (as a Bitmap) and then extracting the relevent channels of it's bitmapData to two new bitmapData instances.
ActionScript Code:
[Embed(source='/../deploy/images/alpha_test.png')]
public var image : Class;
[code]....
The problem that i'm having, is that when i assign the colors bitmapData to a bitmap instance to display it, the background color is showing as black, even though the default fillColor of a bitmapData instance is white. how i can use the alpha channel data to create an 8 bit, grayscale image, that's the reverse of the channel?

Imagine you have a MC used as a container for several other MC's used as buttons.Now, should I use the class of the container to listen for and to dispatch events. OrShould I create a seperate class for each MC inside of the container to listen for and to dispatch events.
In summary: One class for all, or several smaller classes dedicated to their respective MC.How far should one go with abstraction?.
