Some questions

[Ghoul-5]

Hello everyone, i wanted to ask how to do a couple of things in flash:

1) I know how to disable the right click option for flashes in web, but the meniu still is there if u launch the swf from your computer (or maybe i do sth wrong) so i wanted to ask, is there a way to disable that meniu so it never shows up, including the Projected .exe file?

2) how do people insert their website URLs and similar stuff in the right-click meniu?

3) I want my game to have it's cinematics in their own swfs, i know how to load another movie, but i want to know how do u make Flash go back to the main movie after the cinematic SWF is ended? and how can u protect the cinematic swfs, so that ppl can't see the cinematics by just opening the cinematic.swf file ?

4) Is there a way to make a Movieclip get some kinda color tint when it's clicked, and then to make the tint dissapear when another button is clicked?

5) how to make a flash movie read variables from a notepad file? so u can save the players stats or something. (not for online saving) And then would there be a way to prevent the ppl from opening the notepad file and boosting up their stats?

I would really appreciate if someone could answer atleast some of my questions.
NAd i would liket to thank all the NG commnunity in advance because i asked alot of questions about flash here, and u always seem to have the answer. :)

No, as far as I know, right click will always display an about Flash Player 8 thingie.

4) Is there a way to make a Movieclip get some kinda color tint when it's clicked, and then to make the tint dissapear when another button is clicked?

A onRollOver command would be usefull, something like
onRollOver {
tint_mc._visible = true;
}
or sumthing like that

I only got two, but oh well.

Thanks for replying, so then would there be a way to prevent cheating in projected flash games? And about that tint thing, shouldn't the tint color be set somewhere?

You should have an MC, with an alpha set over the mc, and in the first frame set tint_mc._visible = false;

so then when you go over the MC, it becomes visible.

No, i mean i want a movieclip, to get tinted when u click a button that is inside that MC, and that the tint would stay on until u click an other button...

When you externally loads swfs through actionscript they are loaded as new levels.
You can access each level using _level1.play(); or whatever, the original timeline is located on _level0. I haven't really used this much, but there may be a tutorial on it in as:main.
