Navigation between movies possible???

[CenturyGold]

Hi,

I'm using a couple of director movies for my project. I would like to know if
it is possible to navigate between these
movies. In every movie I placed a static navigation panel with a home,
previous and next button. The homebutton was
easy, but Is there a way director remembers the previous and next movie so you
can navigate between these movies?
I was thinking of using some kind of buffer file which remembers the previous
and next movie, but I don't know how to
make this work. Can anyone help me with this??

Thanks,
CG

Look in your Lingo dictionary for 'play' and 'play done'. Attach these to your
sprite scripts to navigate between movies. Director will remember where you
have been. It works within movies and between two or more movies.

I perfer to use a global variables to keep track of movies for navigation.
The Play and Play Done commands certainly work, but if you search the NG
archives you will find that they can create some other problems depending on
their usage.

Thank you both! I'll try play and play done first. But if that can really give
me problems, how do I use the global
variable way? Can you give me an example? This is my first project so I'm
kinda new to all of this.

Thanks again!
