I am working in flash for the first time. I am putting together a 2-3 minute linear piece consisting of animated text, still images and some streamed audio. From my reading and from an earlier answer to a question about a strategy for putting all this together, I have decided to use movie clips and to load the jpegs dynamically .
From this conceptual understanding I am now trying to figure out how to do this. I have the equivalent of 20 story board panels. Most of them will be text over images with the first four panels being text only. I have started to make separate files of each panel of animated text with the idea of making them into movie clips and loading them into the final timeline. I want them to run sequentially with no interactivity other than optional stop, play functions. I am looking for suggestions and caveats in using actionscript to start the first panel and when it is done to stop it and to go to the next automatically so that it will play through all the clips in that fashion. I do have some information on loading JPEGs externally so hopefully I can figure out how to get that interfaced with the text animations.
Hopefully that better describes what I am trying to do.
