i am attempting to control a movieclip using the rollover function of a button (which is also a movieclip due to an animated button). I have tried the tellTarget command (which works one one button), but applying this to more than one button seems to render the tellTarget command useless. can anyone suggest a different approach, or explain how this should be done corectly.
My scripting skills are pretty basic, so i may have missed something obvious. I apologise if I have.
the code used is as follows, and is pasted onto all three buttons:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
tellTarget(_root.onlineportfolio){
nextFrame();}
} else {
this.prevFrame();
tellTarget(_root.onlineportfolio){
prevFrame();}
}
}
I have uploaded my .fla (mx2004) as I am awful at explaining my problems. (the buttons are in menu1 movie clip, and the animation is in onlineportfolio movie clip).
If anyone could help, it would be very much appreciated.
