Question

Can someone please help clean up my rotating banner file?

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to make a rotating banner with buttons on it (check the uploaded FLA... I had to set the extension to *.zip to get it uploaded, so once you DL it, change it to .FLA). It sorta does what I want it to do right now, but my code is really... REALLY awful. The only thing I can say about my code is that the functionality is close to what I'm looking for.

Basically, this is what I want it to do:

1) banner consists of 3 different banners that rotate out with an animation in a continuous loop.

2) little buttons in the lower right hand side will whisk you to the appropriate banner, but will NOT be clickable on its specific banner.

3) rolling over the main banner img or the button will also pause the movie

4) clicking on the main banner img will send you to a URL

I have a very hard time finding a way to be able to call a function over and over again without remaking the function and renaming it. If you have some time, please take a look at the FLA and pass me some pointers. I am using Flash CS3 if that matters. Thanks all!

Regards,

Paul

all of us that have checked your message, so far, have passed it by.

i'm not sure why the others have but i know i'm here to help other people.  not to do their work for them.  i suspect others feel about the same.

there's a way to ask for help and maximize your chances for receiving help:  post only the relevant information related to one problem along with the relevant code (if it's a code related issue).

and there's a way to minimize your chances for receiving help:  post a list of several things you want done and ask someone to do it for you.

Thanks for the response. I'm not trying to compel people to do my work, I'm just stuck and I don't have anyone to really turn to. If someone knows of another good book at least to get to learn AS3 (I have the Lynda one), that would at least give me some direction.
