Flash
Hi everyone.
I have a Flash banner I made that will be featured on a tabbed site. I want to make it so the end user doesn't have to see the intro start over if they click that tab again. It would just show the last frame. Is there a way to do that with Action Scripting or do I need some other form of programming script?

you might be able to use javascript to comunicate with flash.
however, im a little confused if it's a banner or intro. it sounds like a banner and it's on every page?
do you have a link?

Sure, you could do that in Flash, in the following way, assuming the 'tab' button was in the same .swf file as your intro.
After the intro, if the playhead stops on the last frame of your MC tab, you could change it's visibility to 0. On your button tab:
on (release) {
if (_root.tab._currentframe == _root.tab._totalframes) {
_root.tab._visible = 1;
}
}
...and the last frame re-appears. That's one way of doing it. Other than that, you might want to look into Javascript commands for controlling Flash outside of the .swf file.

Thanks Sara! Glad you enjoyed it. When we opened our studio last April, the webmaster who was going to design our site didn't call back, so I picked up a 'Visual QuickStart' HTML book and went from there.
Now I'm glad he didn't call back,
