start button

[sholmz]

I made a button from the text "START". I want to use it to start a movie in swish. Where and how do I insert the command? Thanks.

there are several possibilities. assuming your movie contains one scene, place your start button at frame 0, remove it at frame 1. put a stop action at frame 0.

assign the following action to your button: "on release -> gotoframe 1 of scene 1 (leave play checked)"

I'm sorry, but I guess I just don't understand. I did as you said, but nothing happens. The action window looks like this now:
On(release)
a->stop
a->goto fame 1 of scene 1
Play is checked.

It does work. It is just already playing when it loads. It plays through and stops. Will start back on the press of the button, but also will start back playing by itself in a few seconds. That's the way it was to began with.

OK. That really helped me. I understand what I did now. I appreciate your help. As you can tell I'm very new.
