the movie clip was an instance on the stage with a 1st frame clear with a

stop action to stop it running the clip

ok. by take over..i have the button on the screen once clicked the movie

still shows the button but then tweens it to the new position..


so the user does not think not see the change over... due to the button

would eventually turn in to a static flash graphic.

yep thats is right the button clicked will go to the middle of the screen

and then up to is docked position..


whilst this is happening all 5 other buttons will move off to the edge off

the screen..




Do you know how to use the

yep i have done this a bit.. but i was trying to use tell target to run the

movie clip and got stuck...


but in the previous scene it works a treat..
