So in my Flash class we've been going over ActionScript for a couple weeks now, but my teacher, it seems, is so incompetent that I always leave the classroom feeling like I learned absolutely nothing about it. The ActionScript section in my textbook is, of course, glossed over and unhelpful...like "Oh, you wanna know more? Well buy the textbook for ActionScript, shithead!"
So really, I've not got much to work with, except for a single script for a play button that I ganked from someone's (strangely specific) "How to make a play button in Flash" tutorial. Huh...
Specifically, I'm working with Flash CS3, and thus am also working with ActionScript 3.0. Honestly, I really don't know the first thing about ActionScript syntax. I just wanna be able to cut-and-paste most crap for my scripts.
What I want to know in particular is what kind of scripts I would need to use in order to make a simple interactive movie, which is what I'm going for in regards to a final project. Like, for example, a movie that starts off with Joe walking down the street and bumping into his friend Bob. Bob asks Joe a question, and a box pops up with three possible responses, yadda-yadda, click one to progress the story in one direction, click another to progress it in another direction, and so on.
So I suppose key script types I'd need to know are the following:
-The script that would cause the movie to come to a standstill (or just loop a predetermined range of frames) whenever it's time for Joe to make a choice.
-The script that would make the buttons clickable, as well as the script that transfers you to another scene after clicking.
-I already know how to make a 'play movie' button, but it seems the scripting fundamentals are entirely different when making a 'replay' button...so I'd need to know that as well.
