[F5] *FLASH GURU*Controlling two banners on the same page

[fredwest1]

Hi all, I hope your all well. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem..

1. I want to click on a icon that activates (controls) a movie clip on another banner ( which would be on the same page)

2. I also want to have this banner to have a input text field, which the user would type in their name say" john smith". Once they have typed in their names and clicked on the submit button it wouldd appear on the other banner( which is still on the same page)

Is this possible and could come one please help me as i am very lost..

again thanks for you time
Fred

yes it can be done. make an input text field on the one banner and give it the variable name "name". Make a dynamic text field on the other movie clip pick up the value of that variable.

Thanks for the help but... how do i do it? I made an input text field and named it var: name on the first one and then on the second banners the same. I have not put a submit button yet as i dont lnow what the script is? (you know it and i don't so its hard for me to understand) I know..stupid...but i 'm willing to learn..

so i then make a button for it? what code do i need for it to be able to work..

again thank for the help....i'm not very good compared to you mate..

thanks again

Lets make an important distinction before we move on here.

Are you controlling a movie clip in a completely different flash (swf) object on the page? What I mean is, are these two different flash movies embedded on the same page, or is it one flash movie with two parts to it.

it's called Local Connect methinks, check out the webpage of Ahmed (the mod): http://www.syntheticorange.com/

go to experiments, and check the TB-Drawing + LocalConnect experiment. Then do a search for localconnect on kirupaforum or flashkit or google =)

These are two seperate flash(swf) files. They will be displayed on the same page together..

As you can see the skyscraper and banner are working together.

I hope this helps...? again thanks for your help
