RE: FLASH:button animations...

[Andrew Timberlake]

What you're after is a bit complicated but not impossible.


I would create the button inside a movie-clip and put a 'stop' action on the

first frame.

Then create the button click animation from frames 2 onwards.

double click the button in frame one of the movie-clip, select actions,

"onmouserelease" > "goto frame2 and play".

inside the "onmouserelease" add "tell target" > ".." > "stop" (this will

stop the main timeline until the movie-clip is finished)

In the last keyframe of your movie clip add an action "tell target" > ".." >

(whatever you want the movie to do now).


insert this movie-clip onto your stage


go "control" > "Test movie" (ctrl+Enter on PC) and try it out.


I hope that I have been clear enough:-)
