START_STOP Button in Flash3

[Josh On]

Wow, it is nice to be relearning flash again.


I have been getting my head about the way that the symbols/buttons etc. work

now.

I thought that I pretty much have got it now.


The concept of instances is cool.


When you select a symbol in the work area, you can choose from the other

symbol images from the library to overtake it's appearence etc. etc.


I want to make a button which is an on/off play/stop type button.  It

controls an instance of a movie symbol.  It is red and says stop.  You click

it, it stops the animation and then goes to its green/ go position...


I made it how I thought it would work with a movie symbol with two main

frames, each containing the stop and go buttons respectively.  I can get it

to control the other movie symbol, but couldn't get it to move to it's other

frame.


It is probably easiest for me to show what I have done, cos I think I am

really close!

But if anyone has an example of such a button I'd be interested to see it.


too tired now to explain it properly.


cheers for any help.
