Re: full screen video background by Abraham Chaffin on Mar 27, 2009 at 9:51:25 pm
Trick to this is setting the width and height of the video when you embed it in the html to 100% and setting the scale property depending on your needs or the needs of the swf. Then set the margin and padding of the body tag to 0. When you do those things and all you have in the html file is the swf it will be full screen. You can set the loop in the swf file so that it just keeps looping.
I would like to make the white ICON that fades in, over the video, FREEZE, on its last frame, and STAy there, while the background movie continues to play.
(eventually I want to turn the icon into a button, linking to another section of the site)
..
I'm looking at tutorials on eventhandlers, etc. but I've exhausted every option I've tried so far..
Is there a simple way to make the icon "fade in" and then STAY there (not loop) while the background continues to loop?
Any and all help on this matter is greatly appreciated, everyone.

What you want to do is have these separate items be two separate movie clips inside the main movie clip. By doing this you can have three separate time lines and three different possible looping systems.
Right click on your element or elements and choose
Convert to Symbol > Movie Clip
The timeline of the animation movie clip would loop or play if it's simply an embedded movie.
The timeline of the button would play and then stop on the last frame
The main timeline of your scene could be a single frame.
