tell target

[aktiv]

tell target question???
imagine 2 buttons
each targeting a different movie instance 1 & 2
playing into the same space
the problem
button1 is clicked and movie 1 starts
the user decideds to click
button2 before 1 is completed
clip2 starts its on a highr layer/level
so lays on top of clip1 no problem
but then one is chosen again as its below
clip2 and not visisble until2 has finished
the question
how can i inform clip1 to play and stop clip2 in a single click of the mouse
so the selected movie is allways on top

You will need to use the "if" statement and the getproperty command. You will need to check the current frame of clip two and if its higher than frame 1 have it goto 1. Here is what the code for button 1 should look like:


On (Press)
If (GetProperty ( "/level2", _currentframe ) > 1 )
Begin Tell Target ("/level2")
Go to and Stop (1)
End Tell Target
End If
Begin Tell Target ("level1")
Go to and Play (2)
End Tell Target
End On
