controlling movieClips using other movieClips
Using Flash CS4 - AS 3.0
I am goin nuts, trying to figure out how to control a movie clip using a separate movie clip.
on scene 1 (2 frames long), i have 2 movie clips.
-bFind (24 frames long)
-textEffects (14 frames long)
i want to jump to frame 7 of the textEffect movieClip when i hover over bFind
i have my AS code in the first frame of the movieClip called "Bfind"
Code:
stop();
addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1); //this works, it starts a hover effect
root.textEffects(7); //this DOES NOT WORK
}
);
ERROR MSG:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method textEffects through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
I have combed this message board and have tried a bunch of solutions with no luck.
Thanks in advance
