Re: FLASH: Clock Metaphor

[Chris Burke]

John,


I looked at your Tell Target tutorial (nicely done BTW) and followed the

instructions from your last email. There is one part I don't understand:


>After that is done you need to add the buttons each button would set all the

>control movie clip to ON except the one you want it to stop at.


Please excuse my ingnorance, but I don't know how to have a button set the

movie clip to ON or OFF. Can you explain it without having to see the FLA?

I made the buttons and the movie clip. I just can't get the movie clip to

become active.


Also, I noticed that MM say the way to go back to the main timeline is to

enter "../" into the Target: dialog. You have just ".." Is there a

difference?


Thanks again for your time.


/Chris

Create your animation as single or multiple tween as needed to rotate

continuously (or just to the end in other projects).


Create a new control layer.

At each point that would stop place a 2 frame movie clip.


--------------------

frame 1 Label: On


Stop

Begin Tell Target       Target: ..

Play

End Tell Target


frame 2: Label: Off


Stop

---------------------


Before adding any actions to stop you neeed to get the animation to run

continuously. After that is done you need to add the buttons each button

would set all the control movie clip to ON except the one you want it to

stop at. And you also need a Play action.
