Some simple questions

[zawedx]

Hi, I am fresh to Flash and have the following questions:

1. I have a frame that display some text and I want it to hold for 30 seconds and then go to the next frame. Is it possible to use ActionScript to do that?

2. I saw some Flash website which have a loading bar or counter. How to do that?

3. My Flash file contain 7 scences, can each scene has an individual loading bar?

Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Try Googling "Flash Loading Bar" or see this tutorial (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm) - it is very useful.
3. Yes.

Flash 1 & 2? Sorry, I've never worked with those, but Brady might know - or you could ask on the Kirupa Forums (http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/index.php?).

1. You need to check your frame rate. Calculate how many frames will play before 30 seconds. Let's assume it plays 12 frames/sec, then after 30 seconds it will be on frame 361. What you can do is to put your first scene on frame 1 and then put your next scene on frame 361. It's pretty easy that way. Go through the tutorials that come with flash. They're pretty good.
