Hi! This is a GREAT site! =)
I went through the tutes and found something close to what I'm trying to do (Int. #15: Motion using Actionscript), but nothing succesful yet. Please help!
Let's say I have 5 marker points in the Flash movie and I have a menu that takes me to any one of those marker points at any given time. In each marker, I want to have a single object move to a specified position. That's easy, but I want it to *move* to that specified point along the Y-axis rather than just appear there. Obviously I can't keyframe because going from one marker to another will have different y-axis positions.
I'd also like to try something similar where instead of changing the Y-axis, I'm changing the Y-scale (of a different object). I figure both would have very similar scripting.
I don't need any kind of mouse interaction, just for it to do its thang when it enters the frame marker.
I come from a Director Lingo background, so this Flash AS stuff (I'm using MX) is really new to me. Sorry! Looks more like JavaScript.
Anyway, thanks for your help!!! =)
