Movie move to fron

[Dijhili]

how can I make a simple action script that when in the over state it shows another movie.

Example, I want 2 movies to play at the same time and same location..but when in the over state, I want one to be hidden or vice vera...and the other to show !

Thanks

All ideas are welcome !

do you need something like this.....

a_mc.onRollOver = function() {
	this._visible = false;
	b_mc._visible = true;
};
b_mc.onRollOut = function() {
	this._visible = false;
	a_mc._visible = true;
};

I think that is what I need...I will try that..

Thank you very much sunny !

What does this mean ?

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 3, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
a_mc.onRollOver = function() {

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 3, frame=1:Line 5: Statement must appear within on handler
b_mc.onRollOut = function() {

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2

I have the 2 movies made as movie clips with names a_mc and B_mc

there should not be any error.. simply use my code with two movies of same size named a_mc and b_mc placed one over the other... the code should be written on main time line...

[Dijhili]

so 3 layer...one with the code on a keyfram and the other 2 layers has a_mc and then b_mc ?

Thanks again

[sunny13]

that will work.....

[Dijhili]

I think I got it !

Thank you very much for your help.

[sunny13]

I thank you also .. coz you have given me a nice idea that can be used for a couple of complementry effects...

[Dijhili]

Gee, glad I could help ! hehehe

How can you add this same function to a button over states !

[Dijhili]

Could it be something like this : ( i know it does not work...I am missing something)

on (rollOver) = function() {
this._visible = false;
a_mc._visible = true;
}

on (rollOut) = function() {
this._visible = false;
b_mc._visible = true;
}

[Dijhili]

I made another movie clip and changed it around a little...and it works !

over_mc.onRollOver = function() {
a_mc._visible = false;
b_mc._visible = true;
};
over_mc.onRollOut = function() {
b_mc._visible = false;
a_mc._visible = true;
};


thanks again

on (rollOver) = function() {
this._visible = false;
a_mc._visible = true;
}

... if you use this code on a button .. then "this" will not refer to the button but to the Movieclip in which the button is ... so if it is for say a button names a_btn .. then you must use it like ...

on(rollOver){
this.a_btn._visible = false;
}

...try this
