Re: FLASH: mc in a Button

[Todd Charbonneau]

Thanks for your help Karin! This makes sense.

I also discovered that putting the mc in the OVER state of the button

without a "stop" action in the blank first frame will permit the mc to play

when the cursor triggers the button.(no telltarget required).

Making sure that the DOWN state has a frame, but not a keyframe also allows

the mc to only play once, which is what I'm trying to achieve. I don't know

if this is a "textbook" solution, but it does mean that the button can be

reused many times, without having to telltarget the main timeline mc. (which

is what I was trying to do before).

thanks again,

~todd
