Making movies act like buttons

[djvie]

I'm trying to have a smooth animation happen when someone rolls over my buttons -both when rolling over and rolling off.

Is there a way to do this? Add actions to the movie itself and have it act like a button?

thanks!

yup... i dont use buttons anymore. Always make movieclips into buttons

use this code. Also, to each their own, but I always put all my code on frame 1 of the movie so everything is in one place.


targetMC.onRollOver = function(){
//Rollover Action
}

targetMC.onRollOut = function(){
//Rollout Action
}

targetMC.onRelease = function(){
//Release Action
}

okay ... so where in that code would i put "gotoandplay frame whatever" in that code?

thanks

targetMC.onRollOver = function(){
//Rollover Action
}

targetMC.onRollOut = function(){
//Rollout Action
}

targetMC.onRelease = function(){
//Release Action
}
