Best way to stop every frame in an MC?...
|
|
How can I have a stop in every frame in an MC without having to make key frames all over the place? Regards, Anth ny ---------------------------------------- "You say insanity like it's a BAD THING!" "Dont yell at me if I'm wrong!...I'm at least trying to help!"

I don't think I quite understand what you want to do.
From what I think you mean, you could use the GoToAndStop action when you go to the desired frame inside the movie clip. |
|
No, what I'm trying to do, is there are 2 buttons...up and down...as I press them I want them to advance an MC 1 frame forwards or backwards...how could I accomplish this?

Try this code on your buttons...
on(release){ gotoAndStop(_currentframe-1); }
or
on(release){ gotoAndStop(_currentframe+1); }
...if it's movieClip specific use...
myClip.gotoAndStop(_currentframe+1); |
|
but will the movie stop in the next frame if there is no stop action? i think your answer is, no there is no easy way..you have to add them all manually..you can't tween a stop action..but you can make a new layer right..goto the last frame of the movie and add your key frame..that will stretch the keyframe the entire length of the movie..that way you can add a stop action in each frame without having to add a keyframe plus stop action in each frame.. make sense?

gotoAndStop() does stop the playhead... otherwise there would be no need for a gotoAndPlay(). |
