onclipevent problem

[srlem]

Hi guys!
i'm in a bit of trouble and help would be much appreciated.

1.The thing is i have a movie clip on a main timeline and the movie clip has its own timeline. What i wan't to do is when the mouse is over the clip that the clip starts playing the second frame in its own timeline

2. my second problem is. that on the main timeline i have stop() at the end. i intended to stop the animation from repeating but this stop also stops the animation of the movieclip. what should i do that the mc plays and that there is no animation on the main timeline.

for the mouse over thing i thought it had to be smth like this on the mc

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
gotoAndPlay(Symbol 5,1);
}

please help! asap

Hi,
On your mc the code should be something like this:

onClipEvent(mouseUp){
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._yMouse,true){
this.play();
}
}

The stop action on your main timeLine shouldn't affect the timeLine of the mc

Hope that helps

hmm..i replaced with "box" which is the name of the instance..but still doesn't work.

i've attached the fla so you can see what i'm talking about

hey!

the code you provided was ok but it didn't work in test scene.
It worked when i published it. And also one bracket was missing.
so this is the exact code.

Ok now this works, but i thought mouse up was actually mouse over. Is there any way to create rollover behavior on a MC??

onClipEvent(mouseUp){
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse,true)){
this.play();
}
}

Hi,
Yeah, the double bracket at the end is a recurring typo of mine - sorry about that, yes you can create mouse over with :

onClipEvent(mouseMove){

you have to put the hitTest in otherwise it will fire everytime the mouseMoves - funny that - do I need to look at this file or is everything OK now

it's ok if i click on it..but now with this mouse move thing...
do i have to assign some _y andf _x coordinates so it will now when it has to start playing the mc. like you said i don't want it to play every time i move the mouse...

thanx for helping me!:)

the effect works fine if i roll over the mc and i also managed to do that the rollover behavior stops when the mouse is out. Here's what i did.

onClipEvent (mouseMove){
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse,true)){
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
this.gotoAndStop(1)
}
}

the mc is built so that it's static in the first frame and in the second frame it starts tweening.. So that's why gotoAndPlay(2) and gotoAndStop(1)..

ok i know i'm like one of those vacum cleaner salesmen who you can't get rid off:)

but now i want to achieve when i click the mc i want activate the timeline and for example go to frame 2 on the main timeline...

this is what i had in mind..

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
this.gotoAndStop(2)
}

but...doesn't work:(
hmmmmm....what to do???

[srlem]

ok i figured that one also it's like this:

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse,true)){
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}

}

i forgot the hit test...
