[F8] Action Script- Doll Maker help?

[Malunis_T]

Hey all. I joined for some help in Flash8, and right now, this is my problem....

I'm working on a doll maker type of game, and require an action which includes changing certain parts by clicking a button. I thought that there might be a simple script effect where you can click the button to switch one symbol with another, but I'm still new to the Script, so I'm unsure on how to do it. Can anyone help me out with this?

Here's a rough example of one where you can click on the shirts...

Hm, a good example... Though, what I need is simply a change in facial expression. I want to try to make it as simple as possible, considering the only script I've done at this point has just been timeline-related..

Here's one where a button changes the eyes. See attached file...

That is EXACTLY what I need. How do you do it, exactly?

Are you asking about the coding or creating movie clips or ???

The script.

stop();
// stops that main time line from playing
faceEyes.stop();
// stops the movie clip instance name of faceEyes from playing
btnChgFace.onPress = function() {
	// sets up a function to play when the movie clip instance name btnChgFace is pressed
	// this function displays the next frame of the faceEyes movie clip, when it reaches
	//  the last frame t will cycle back to the first frame
	if (faceEyes._currentframe == faceEyes._totalframes) {
		// check if current frame of movie clip instance name of faceEyes is on the last frame
		faceEyes.gotoAndStop(1);
		// was on last frame so, go to and stop on the first frame
	} else {
		faceEyes.gotoAndStop(faceEyes._currentframe + 1);
		// not on last frame so go to and stop on the next frame
	}
};
