Sorry about the silly title :rolleyes
I've been going through the help and forums and have finally started coming to grips with Flash/AMS interaction. Neat! However, I am wondering if the following is possible:
1) Can I set up a button that pulses or emits radio waves, etc. when the mouse is run over it? I'm looking for a Flash-type effect here, not an AMS command to jump to a page, etc. Can you load a .swf file onto another one for this effect, or is that too complex to play smoothly?
2) It seems that you can't have transparency on, for example, a round button in an exported .swf file and that it must come into AMS with a black background. To get good-looking effects on buttons, do you have to design the whole (or a big part of) page in Flash? Is anybody doing this? Are the files too big to use in AMS or are there any other drawbacks?
Sorry for the short novel...
The possibilities seem really interesting for using .swf files in AMS and I'd like to know to what extent you can practically take them. I'm going to try the things I mentioned now but my lack of Flash skills is equalled only by my lack of AMS scripting skills. So the going may be slow... If anyone who has experience could throw a few tips this way, it'd be cool. Thanks!
