!!! MC Communication Help !!!

[sully12]

I have 4 MCs - all activated by separate buttons. I only want one MC activated at a time. Each MC has a small intro and stops on frame 43. And each has a small outro that begins at frame 44 and continues to frame 60.

I am trying to make it so that when one MC has already been activated and is resting at frame 43 - when another MC is activated, the original one opened plays the outro(form frame 60) while the newly activated MC plays the intro.

All this has to be achieved by not affecting any of the other inactive MCs... I know this is possible ??? HELP ME

If you give each clip an instance name

clip0, clip1, clip2 and clip3,

if now on the timeline containing these clips you place the code

function playClip(id) {
  for (i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
    if (i != id) {
      if (this["clip" + i]._currentframe == 43) {
        this["clip" + i].gotoAndPlay(44);
      }
    } else {
      this["clip" + i].gotoAndPlay(1);
    }
  }
}

then make your buttons (again on the same timeline)

(button for clip0)

on (release) {
playClip(0);
}


(button for clip1)

on (release) {
playClip(1);
}

and so on for each clip
