i am new to flash and wanted to learn so i went and bought the classroom in a book for flash cs5 to self teach my self and well in chapter 6 it has you create a navagation menu. This menu has four boxes you can hover over and click ( i completed the whole lesson so its ready to go) and well when you go to test (command + enter) the flash movie plays but it plays on a custom loop over and over.
I went to the top and went under control and deselected loop and it still does it and or it stops but then nothing is clickable.. what gives?? the lesson had me design the menu so you are able to hover over and have a box appear and then when you click it makes a sound and then after you click a new window pops up with info about that particular button and well when you test it it loops through at the blink of an eye and none of the buttons work and it just plays like a movie.
I'm slowly going through the Adobe "Classroom in a Book" on ActionScript. Every now and then the sample code includes what appears to be a property "e" as in "function doThis (e:mouseEvent)" or "var rbg:RadioButtonGroup = e.target as RadioButtonGroup;"

I've gotten far on my own just using online tutorials and dinking around in Flash on my own but my boss(es) are starting to ask for more complex stuff that I simply can't learn by just piecing together my Flash education.I know there's many, many books out there that will teach you Flash but can anyone recommend any particular one(s) that are more concentrated in creating Web elements as opposed to game or animation development?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a sort of book type thing in flash. I would like to have a "next" button that when clicked will go over to the next body of text to be read, as well as a previous button that will go back to what was just read. I would also like a "back to beginning" button. I know how to do the "gotoAndPlay (1)" type thing on a button. However, would I have to add a new button on each of the text parts? Or can I put it all on the same buttons?
For example: (I know this isn't real code or anything, just trying to describe)
if on text one > got to text two
if on text two > go to text three
if on text nine > go to text ten
if on text ten > go to (end here so next button disabled, or changed to 'back to start').
