Friends,


It's been a while since I have been on this list, but

I seem to have 

gone

brain dead since my departure.  I am trying to get a

button rollover to

work.  What happens with this rollover is the doors in

a movie clip 

swing

open on the rollover and then close on the rollout. 

The problem is 

that if

you move to another button right away the new movie

clip starts playing

before the door closing sequence is finished.  I tried

to regulate this 

so

that the closing door rollout would have to finish

before the next 

rollover

would be allowed using an If statement on the

rollovers with a value

playmovie=1 for it to work.  Inside the door movie

clip I am 

temporarily

setting playmovie=0, then resetting it to '1' when the

rollout sequence 

is

complete.  This does not seem to work.  Any other

ideas would be 

greatly

aprreciated.


I know there is probably an easy answer, but I am

coming up empty.


Thanks in Advance.

My suggestion was going to be to set a variable and

then check to see when it is finished before you let

them roll off. Are you sure you are targeting the

variable correctly? Make sure the button checking the

variable isn't in a different movie clip. If it is,

then you need to target the correct movie clip. / goes

to the main timeline and then /MovieClipA/MovieClipB

goes down a path from the main movie. Then put a :

after the path and enter your variable name and that

should make sure you are targeting the correct

timeline. Because, it should work.
