Choosing and Playing Multiple Videos

Summary

As you may have noticed, there are a lot of ways to play multiple movies. They range from the simple, such as a series of buttons, to the quite complex, which is where we finished the chapter. We aren’t going to claim this chapter is all you need to know, but it did give you a rather extensive overview of some of the more common techniques available to you.

We also introduced you to the transitions class, which is really handy to know if you want to add jazz to how Flash moves between videos. We also showed you how small looping videos can add some pizzazz to your work.

In the next chapter we don’t deal with FLV files. We are going to show you how to add a feed from a web camera to a movie. From there, we answer the question, “What else can I do with it?” Turn the page to find out.
