Topic: Buttons to switch between clips

Hello,

I am new to this forum. Not an experienced Flash user. I need to include a swf file on my client's web page. The swf file includes 4 movie clips appearing one by one. Each clip links to their designated page. I want to have small buttons to let viewers to click and switch to the clip they want. When click, the clip runs once and does not loop. The rest of the clips will not run afterwords. Please refer to http://www.dell.com for an example (not exactly as what I want). Can anyone advise step by step please?

Thanks in advance! 

kklui.  tongue

To edit your .swf you will need to have source .fla file.
Create in it buttons and assign  behavior to it - "Go to" the frames where the clips start.

Re: Buttons to switch between clips

there are many tutotials ( make search in Google for example) on how to make Flash movie player. Many of them based on XML list of the movies which load when buttons are clicked.
