Hi,
These are not urgent questions, more of just an enquiry as I would like to know if i can do it in my project.
Ok first question:
Say I have a page which has a flash object which maybe makes the text fade in, swirl around, whatever.... now this is all very pretty and looks cool the first time a user sees it, but if they go to another page and come back to the flash page, it could get annoying waiting for the flashy text to stop moving.
So is there any way to maybe have a variable on the page eg. firstVisit = true and somehow set that vairiable to false just before the user leaves the page...... and then when they return, firstVisit = false, so it will just show static text?
Second question:
I am doing a cd for a client who I am still waiting for them to give me thier videos that they want incldued. Now, I have no idea how big the video sizes will be ( i didnt really care how long the videos would be cos the actual project will only take up a few meg, which leaves almost 700mb for a video, which i thought would be ample space). But then I remembers I was doing a project for 1024 res and 800 res....... so then that means i would need to include 2x the videos (one for each res project). This got me a little worried....
So is there any way to somehow reference a video file within another folder (on the cd, but outside the projects scope eg. D:\800res\autorun.exe plays d:\myvideo.mpg) but still have it embedded into the project (ie. not load up in media player).
Sorry for the long scenarios.
Any help would be appreciated.
