Subject: Real Flash Problems
I've got a gripe with Real Flash and I'm praying someone knows a way
around it or that an upgrade for Real Player is coming soon. So here it
is, I created a Flash animation which animates very quickly and settles
down into a nice layout within this layout is a menu bar (button) the
only purpose for this button is to slide open on one click and closed on
the another click. (It resembles a sliding metal drawer) Once you click
on the button to open the drawer the presentation pauses and if you try
and close it, as it closes the presentation rewinds then runs forward
then stalls and the button becomes inactive. I'm thinking that
Realplayer doesn't support this kind of clickability (is that a word?)
I don't think this is a fault of Flash because we've done this a dozen
different ways over the last day or so. I think its Flashes relationship
to the Real Player (and maybe that Real only supports Flash2) but I'm
not sure. I'm guessing that Real is picking up on the Stop actions
created in Flash and they're causing the presentation to pause or maybe
its something else entirely. Has anyone tried to use Flash interactively
through Real? and if so how? I mean more than just a button that links
to an url. I'm finding the Production Guide to be a bit sketchy on the
relationship between Flash and Real. Any help will be greatly
appreciated though I'm afraid I know the answer already.
Thanks
Charles
