Closing Movieclips?

[barry_sheen]

Hi There,

I want to be able to press a button, which will close whatever movieclip is playing on the main stage. Any ideas?

Cheers

How did your movies get on the stage and what do you mean by "closing" them?

If u mean that to end playing the movie just puy buttons that go back to the first frame or to the one that started with

I have each movie and button on a different layer, and want to be able to click any button, which will close the movie clip that is visible and then start the next clip. When I say close, I just mean either become invisible or just jump to a frame that is blank. The problem I'm having is making it so I can click the buttons in a random order.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your help

Is each button supposed to play it's own movie? You could have on each button:

BUTTON ONE:

on(release){
movieClipA._visible = true;
movieClipA.gotoAndPlay(1);
movieClipB._visible = false;
movieClipC._visible = false;
movieClipD._visible = false;
movieClipE._visible = false;
}

BUTTON TWO:

on(release){
movieClipA._visible = false;
movieClipB._visible = true;
movieClipB.gotoAndPlay(1);
movieClipC._visible = false;
movieClipD._visible = false;
movieClipE._visible = false;
}

etc.etc.

But it's a bit clunky if you have lots of clips.
