button action ?

[tokrz]

is it possable to have a set of buttons tied into different layers so that button 1 will cuase layer one to play and so on?

No... but you can achieve the same effect:

Make different movie clips in place of your 'layers'.

Put them on your main timeline, and make sure you fill in the 'name' field on the 'instance' palette. (make sure you have a 'stop' actionscript in the first frame of each of your movie clips, or they'll all play, all the time)

Set up you buttons on the main stage so that the commands are something like:

on (release) {
tellTarget ("movieclip01") {
play ();
}
}
(where 'movieclip01' is the name of your clip)

Hope this helps, if you need more help, just ask.

thankx Ill give it a try, Ive only got about 3 hrs experience using flash. So for things are going smoothly. heres the flash movie im wroking on, its a map overhead view for a game showing possable routes for either team and as u can see the more routes I add the more confusing it gets to follow thus time for some interactive buttons
