Just a poor, poor n00b at this. So, in lamens terms, how do you create a slide show so that when the viewer clicks a button (and not before then), the slide changes from one frame to another
I've got Macromedia Flash Professional 8 by the way
make however many frames you want on the timelines, add the pics
on each frame put in the action script
on the first frame add your button, and assign it the actionscript
Code:
on(press,release) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
basically it says "when button is clicked, go to frame 2"
repeat for the next frame, except change (2) to (3) and so on
on the final frame make it go back to (1)

i cant seem to get flash to work with this forums =/
Code:
**Error** Screen=slide1:Line 10: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
stop();
**Error** Screen=slide2:Line 10: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
stop();
**Error** Screen=slide3:Line 10: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
stop();
**Error** Screen=slide4:Line 10: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
stop();
Total ActionScript Errors: 4 Reported Errors: 4
Errmmm...oops ?? Step by step please ? *is teh suck with this programme*
did you put the actionscripts in the right places?
stop(); must be placed in actions of the Frame, just by clicking outside the canvas
the "on press release..." stuff goes on the Button actionscript (to create a button, highlight an image and press F8, give it a name and choose "Button"
have a lot at my .fla file:

Ahhh, figured out what I was doing wrong. Thanks so much 92
Mind helping me as well? I made a flash siggy(it's awesome
) and I can upload it onto photobucket, but only in GIF of JPG, but it doesn't move then...what am I doing wrong?
It has to be saved as a .fla or .swf to move. Photobucket doesn't work with .fla so you need to make the siggy a .swf one and then upload it.
ive done animated gifs before and uploaded them to photobucket....
quite some time ago though, so i couldnt take you through step by step...id have to tinker a bit first
Yeah but animated GIFs have to be made on an animator programme, this is a flash programme. Made for flash movies, not animated GIFs
When I uploaded it showed up as this:
