RE: FLASH: actions on a button..help please!

[Simon Ford]

Thanks Laura, that all makes sense now cheers.

Without trying to be cheeky, I dont suppose you've got any clues on the

other problem have you? I've attached it again below just in 

case 8-)

Simon.


I've got a problem (still) with an action on a button, that has a 'on

>release, goto and play (m/c)' action attached to it. At the moment it

>needs 2 clicks to make it go to the specific frame to play and then only it 

>completes half of the animation of the movie clip if the cursor is still

hovering over the

>button. As soon as the cursor moves off the button it works fine...!

>Any help appreciaited.


P.S I've tried it with tell target too and same problem happens!

Hi Simon,


If an instance of a movie clip or button is available on the current

keyframe, flash lists that target in the window. If you haven't named

your

clip, haven't put in a keyframe, or are not currently on a frame where

the

clip is placed, it won't show up. Although not having the clip available

in

the parameters window is a good hint that you may have improperly named

or

placed the clip, there may be occasions when you want to call it without

it

being available yet (for example, if you're using a 'goto frame' before

the

tell target, the clip may be available on the frame called but not the

one

where you're writing the action.) I hope that's clear and helps :)
