Ok, I posted this the other day in another forum but didnt get anything i could use. ( not that i dont appreciate the help!) I know this is probally has a simple answer. but i cant figure it out. i have 3 buttons each controling a different movie clip, and the effect I want is when you click a button the assigned movie clip plays ontop of the last ( like building a sandwich ). basically this is because the movie clips are alpha tweens and i need that transition effect.
there has to be a simple way to do this becuase i see it on the net all the time.
The link is an example of what i want to do. On this site each time you click a button a new mc alpha tweens ontop of the last.
Thanks in advance for all your help guys. (and girls)
THIS IS THE SCRIPT IM USING TO CONTROL MY MC’s
fscommand(“allowscale”, false);
stop();
but1.onRelease = function() {
collections.gotoAndPlay(“close”);};
but2.onRelease = function() {
store.gotoAndPlay(“close”);};
but3.onRelease = function() {
cover.gotoAndPlay(“close”);};
P.S. each mc is placed at a different depth on the main timeline of my file…Is this the problem? Thanks again!
