loadMovie in movieclip "HELP!!!" pls

[chrisb.net.ms]

hello

i am working on a new design for my homepage purly made in flash,
but im not that pro in all the actionscrtipt stuff

so i got a single movie which has the menu of the homepage in it and is loaded via action script into a movie in the next scene.

on (release){
   menu.loadMovieClip("menu.swf");

this.createEmptyMovieClip("menu", 3);


menu._x = 58;
menu._y = 54;
}
on (release){
   gallery.loadMovie("digital_gallery.swf");
   

this.createEmptyMovieClip("gallery", 3);


gallery._x = 158;
gallery._y = 86;
}

just like that but the problem is that the menu keeps on playing .. this means that the animation of all the buttons just plays over and over again ! so my question is that i wanted to know how i do get that to stop ...

please help me!!

thank you

Add a stop() in the frame where your movie should stay

follow that link to see my problem ... and i tried out the stop(); but it doesnt do.
please help me! thanks

http://chriscracker.ch.funpic.de/menu.swf this link is the menu

thanks 4 your help

[Jorge Solis]

If the animation is a timeline tween, just look at the proper timeline to add the stop. If you use code, post it (nothing related in the code you posted)

Double click the MovieClips to edit his timeline, add the stop there.

if i add a stop in each MC

the whole menu will function as i want it when i only open it up

but it wont work in combination with the actionscript  loadMovie... there the animations wont play.

[Jorge Solis]

If you load a movie with a stop in the first frame, the movie stops (in fact that's the way preloaders works) so probably you're missing something

okay well i wil work on it

thanks for your great support ^^

*thumbs up*

but now a new question ,

how can i get a html file to open up filled up with the whole flash movie???

[Jorge Solis]

In menu, File->Publish options, mark the HTML option and flash will generate the HTML for you

Jorge

Basically the page use a 100% div and write there the swobject, study the page source code (knowledge of basic HTML and CSS needed)

well i guess that a little to hard for me to beginn with
but i am acctually learning whole bunch of new stuff


so thank you very very much

but i am currently working on a email contact form in flash and php
but i dont know much about php so i got this tutorial which says that
i need to put this:

<?
  & lt ; ? $to = "chrischracker@hotmail.com"
   $msg = "$name\n\n";
   $msg .= "$message\n\n";

  mail($to, $subject, $msg, "Message From: Online client\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>


into a php file
but if i wanna create this php file on my webspace there comes this error:


#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '<?
  & lt' at line 1

Use <?php instead

Jorge

[chrisb.net.ms]

now i put in this

<?php
   $to = "chrischracker@hotmail.com"
   $msg = "$name\n\n";
   $msg .= "$message\n\n";

  mail($to, $subject, $msg, "Message From: Online client\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>

and then this comes:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '<?php
   $to = "chrischracker@hotmail.com"
   $msg = "$name\n\n"' at line 1
