A Complicated Issue
This is my first time in this community. I've been working in Flash for a few years now and can usually help file my way around problems, but I've hit a fun one now.
I'm building a portfolio for my Digital Arts program. What I need to do is place and existing, interactive .swf (or if I need to change that, its fine, I have the Flash file) into a new Flash doc. I want it to maintain its interactivity and not play through itself automatically. I would like to allow this to happen in the main window, if at all possible.
When I import the .swf, it comes in with all of its layers. When I test scene, it just starts playing through as soon as it comes into existence. I've tried changing it into a graphic with a single frame play, but then it is just a static image. I've also tried reexporting the original as a Quicktime VR, but then when I import it, it is a string of key frames.
I'm using Flash 8 Pro.
Any help on this issue would be brilliant. Thanks.
