Help on movieclip scripting

[mxgen]

help... (of course, i'm not genius at actionscripting) sorry...

i can't seem to get the events right for movieclips... and my AS is wrong...

on mouseover, it moves to 400, _x-wise...

then it's supposed to move back to 100 when i hover again..

can anyone try checking this? it's in mx.

You need 2 "==" in a comparisom if statement...

if (this._x == 100)...

But as coded, your clip will first move to 100, then move from 100 to 400 and so fourth.

gee wizzz.... how could i have forgotten? *bonks herself on the head*

thanks!

[oldnewbie]

herself? Didn't realize that!

[mxgen]

oh, dear....

i apologize.. i think i do have to say it clearly... i'm a girl...

i'd prefer "gal", but i might hear something nasty...

thanks, oldnewbie... bytheway!

how can i get the movieclip to act like a clip that will bring you to the next frame?

i tried using nextFrame, but it doesn't work...

what actionscript should i use to have the movieclip go to the next frame? i have placed a stop(); on each and every frame...

[oldnewbie]

Why not "mxgal" then as a handle?

Don't quite understand your question... This testmc .fla only has one frame?

Got to get back to my Christmas cleaning...

Catch you later!

[mxgen]

christmas cleaning? why? you have a dirty closet?

...men... (just kidding!) ..phew... it seems like i feel better that ppl know i'm a gal... wel, i guess i could drop this account, have it smashed and bashed, then create mxgal!

well, i mean, that i'd have 20 frames, each frame with a stop AS, and then i want to have a movieclip that, when clicked, will play the next frame...

aw, well... i guess i'll have to wait til later... =)

[oldnewbie]

on the first frame of your movie...

code:

---

stop();

_root.mcWord.onMouseDown = function(){

	_root.nextFrame();

};

---

You don't necessarily nead a stop action on each frame, since nextFrame is not a play action... It goes to the next frame and stops.
