Norman,
Without the swf source, how will your movie call a .taf?
1) You've got the login .taf.
2) Login, and it shows a menu of movies, and creates some session
variables with the user info.
3) Clicking on a link in the menu should take you to a .taf that
displays the .swf.
This can be done by using <@include> to include different html
pages, calling different presentation pages to present differnt html, or
by changing the embed tag in a taf result page.
4) The movie plays, and when done calls a .taf. When the called .taf
loads, it writes the user session id created at login to a database and
via a branch, include, or meta refresh goes back to your menu.
Is that correct?
You want a youtube that records what a person has watched?
Or a game that records users previous completed actions?
Based on your earlier question and responses it looks like you hoped to
branch to, meta refresh to, or include the swf itself. That won't work.
You need html-like pages to present the swf using the <embed> tag. Those
pages with the <embed> tags can be included, presented, or branched to.

Hi,
I don't have the source for the Flash files (neither do I have
MAcromedia).
So, at present, I can do the following:
a) the user logs in (ie to a .taf)
b) user can choose one of the .swf files to run (or exit)
c) the .swf file runs fine and then it calls a .taf file to update the
database (I think this will work ok)
Now want to exit this .taf and go back to the start (part (b)) ...
that's the problem
thanks
Norm

So is the problem directing them to the correct flash
file? or recording the completion?
Because including the html should work just fine. You
can even include variables and other tags in your
included html if you like.
Heck, dynamically building the embed in a result would
be fine too.
If you're trying to record a successful completion,
you need to add a call to your movie to call a page
when its done. The page call could be XML and load
variables in the movie, or refresh the page to a menu
for the next selection.

ok, here's exactly what I'd like to do.
a) I have 5 flash files (.swf)
b) the user logs in (ie to a .taf)
c) user can choose one of the .swf files to run (or
exit)
d) when .swf file complete, the database is updated
(recording user's
progress)
e) user can choose one of the .swf files to run (or
exit)
so <@include> won't work rmand I think the redirect
will lose context so
I don't have the logini info any more.
any ideas?
thanks
No

Norman,
I don't think you can use the 'branch' action to
do anything other
than branch to another part of a taf or a
different taf file. You
could however use 'include' to bring the html file
in. Depends on
what you're trying to accomplish really in order
to figure out the
best possible approach.
Feel free to outline more completely what you're
trying to do.
Jason

Hi,
I'd like to branch out of my .taf file to a
.html file (and perhaps
some
other types of files to) and
then return to the .taf
is there any way to do this?
thanks
