Hello. I don't know if it's possible in AS but I was just wanting to check to see if it is. I'm trying to make it so that it will pause at the beginning until, say, the user presses the window. Then it will go through the animation. Is this possible?
AS exports scenes in the SWF format, but there's nothing in there but the animation you did.
Any interactivity like what you described must be done in an authoring program like Flash. SWF created by AS is just a format to import animation into Flash.
