Re: [flasher] Re: Button animation on Mouse Down - Problem!

Thanks Ofir.

OK...  Sorry, I'm being a bit thick about this...  Just trying to find the

most efficient way, and understand the Flash paradigm, which still appears

hazy at times.  The mist is clearing now that I'm actually making things,

and not just experimenting.

So, presumably I have to put this external mc animation over my button, then

make it visible on mouseDown, and make my Mouse Over mc animation invisible,

so that they "swap"?  I've got quite a few buttons, do I just need to stack

all these alternating images on top of each other?

Is there any advantage to using a button that way?  I could just use a mc

animation, then detect mouse events and jump to a different part of its

timeline on mouseDown.

Is there no button setting which plays the whole mouseDown mc, even if the

mouse button is released straight away?

Best wishes,

Mike
