Now the original VCR buttons PLAY and STOP will only control the 'coupe1' movie clip. To allow visitors the power to control the shockwave files that load on 'level1' I entered a 'new keyframe' in FRAME 10 for the 'Buttons' layer (keyframes allow me to set different actions for the same buttons). I only had to edit the STOP and PLAY buttons. At FRAME 10 I selected the STOP button and added an 'on Mouse Event' action. Then I selected 'tellTarget' action, set 'level1' since that is where my new shockwave file has loaded. Finally I added a 'Stop' command. When I did the PLAY button I did the same thing but replaced the 'Stop' command with a 'Play' command.

Action script for level1

The 'tires.swf' file is a simple shockwave animation illuminating visitors about the incredible granite tires in the 'Flintstone Coupe.' I added a 'Back' button to each of the three .swf files. The button sends the visitor back to the Fordstone coupe spinning on the turntable. I select the button, apply the 'On Mouse Event' action, and then an 'unloadMovie' action. I enter 'level1' for the Location. I then add a 'tellTarget' script action to load 'level0' (this is 'Fordstone_Cars.swf). I then add a 'gotoAndStop' at Frame Label 5.

Back button for 3 shockwave files

I now duplicated this action scripting for the other two shockwave files, 'interior.swf' and 'roof.swf.'
