movieclip button?

[John U.]

Hello,

Trying to have a (4 frame) movieclip move across the 'stage' looping on frames 1 & 2 (~ 20 tweens) of main movie. User would click on the movieclip to goto frame 3 of main movie.

Movieclips don't have 'button' properties like shapes, Is there a way to do this (maybe actionscript)?

Thanks for any help...

FlashMX supports movie clip buttons. We will have that capability in the next release.

For the moment, try this: create a transparent button over your movie clip and add the appropriate button action.

Thanks, that works great.

I am also wondering if there is a way to convert a koolmoves movie into a movieclip? I try selecting (selection scope > all frames) but have trouble selecting other various shapes down the timeline.

This might work.

Create a new move, and create a movie clip. Import the existing fun file into the clip.

Thanks Owen,

That's exactly what I wanted to do.
