Very simple

[lindseyhuth]

I'm a brand new with working in Flash and I have something seemingly simple I need to do to get a project finished this afternoon. I have an animation with wave beams coming out to demonstrate ultrasound. I need to have it play the first beam, then stop, then when clicked go to and play the second wave beam and stop, then the third and so on..... I have it playing straight through now. I just need to stop and play next onClick.

Thanks :)

hey there,

you have the right idea.

just put;

stop();

in the actions of each frame that you want it to pause.

then you need a button (you can make the button as big as the whole movie then set it's alpha to 0 if you want to be able to click anywhere)
then on the button you add;

on(release){
play();
}

let me know if an example would help.
cheers
