states for flash elements
Dec 04, 2012
Hi
I'm building a game like training - you got some money and each correct answer you get some more.
I wish to insert a flash element that will "grow" every time the user answer a correct answer.
I though to do this with variables and states - but found that i cannot enter states for a flash element.
(that mean i cannot hide a flash element as well...)
do anyone know what i can do to make this work?
Thanks.
(one more thing - i cannot play a flash by trigger only auto or by click)

Hi, Michelle -
To talk to a Flash file from Storyline and vice-versa, you'll need to leverage some JavaScript and variables. There's some complexity to it but once you get the communication setup it's smooth sailing. I use a polling mechanism in Flash to watch a variable from Storyline.
Take a look at this attachment for an example.
thanks.
for now - i manage to insert the flash into states of a shape (that i placed off the slide) so i can play with the states and variables.
I'll check your files to learn more.
I went for the lo-fi technique and inserted three, animated shape tween movies to simulate the animated progress.

Checking out your file, Steve...
David,
from where is Paul? I don't have him in my character pack? (can i trade him for one other character i don't use?)
Thanks
Hi All,
Since I don't know flash, I'm interested in the lo-fi. David, I downloaded the source. Tx for that. I know I'm showing my ignorance. Oh, well.
