i hope it is possible

i have 7 buttons in the background of the movie.
i want that when ever some one clicks on one of the buttons, a mc will start in the exact spot that the user touched.
is it possible?

thanks

It sure is possible.
What i would do is put the each button in a movie clip
get each movie clips _x and _y
and set up a 2 variables
set variable ("clicked") = 1
set variable ("notclicked") =0

Then use IF
to check if a button is clicked
if yes which would = 1
the Set Properties
to the same _x _y for both movie clips
so it replaces the button movie clip with the new movie clip.


I tried to keep my example here simple for you


another thing you can do is set the visibility
to false
Set Property Visibility = False
then the button action would be

On Release
Begine Tell Target (" mc's instance name here")
Set Property Visibility = True
End Tell Target

Just make the movie clips invisible
then when the button is pressed set them back to visible.

Just some ideas for you...

but i'm kinda new to flash and couldn't understand how to do what you said(espacially the part about the x and y)
from what i undersood i think what you suggusted would make the mc on the button that would be clicked, and i want it to be where ever the user would clicked, so it could be on diffrent places on evry button.

hope you could help me

thanks
