Hi everybody, I’m currently working on a project which includes 7 small 30 second videos inside a mask with no skins. The vids are inside a graphic symbol along with some other animation going on at the same time. The problem is that I can play and stop the vids just fine but when I use the rewind or forward buttons to go to next video or previous video _all hell breaks loose._ Both videos end up playing at the same time. Very annoying. Should I be using movieclips instead or is it something else that I’m missing. Any help would be appreciated, thanks Here’s a look at the code: var timer:Timer = new Timer(6000,1); navbar.visible = false navbar.next\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextButtonClick); navbar.prev\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, previousButtonClick); navbar.play\_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, playButtonClick); navbar.pause\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopButtonClick); navbar.menu\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menuButtonClick); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER\_COMPLETE, hidemenu); stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_MOVE, showmenu); function hidemenu(e:TimerEvent):void{ navbar.visible = false; } function showmenu(e:MouseEvent):void{ navbar.visible = true; timer.start(); } function stopButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void { ``` if(VidDesign_1) ``` { VidDesign\_1.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_2) ``` { VidDesign\_2.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_3) ``` { VidDesign\_3.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_4) ``` { VidDesign\_4.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_5) ``` { VidDesign\_5.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_6) ``` { VidDesign\_6.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_7) ``` { VidDesign\_7.stop(); } ``` stop(); ``` } function playButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void { if(VidDesign\_1) { VidDesign\_1.play(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_2) ``` { VidDesign\_2.play(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_3) ``` { VidDesign\_3.play(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_4) ``` { VidDesign\_4.play(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_5) ``` { VidDesign\_5.play(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_6) ``` { VidDesign\_6.play(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_7) ``` { VidDesign\_7.play(); } ``` play(); ``` } function previousButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void { ``` if(VidDesign_1) ``` { VidDesign\_1.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_2) ``` { VidDesign\_2.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_3) ``` { VidDesign\_3.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_4) ``` { VidDesign\_4.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_5) ``` { VidDesign\_5.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_6) ``` { VidDesign\_6.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_7) ``` { VidDesign\_7.stop(); } ``` gotoAndStop(currentFrame - 300); ``` } function nextButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void { ``` if(VidDesign_1) ``` { VidDesign\_1.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_2) ``` { VidDesign\_2.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_3) ``` { VidDesign\_3.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_4) ``` { VidDesign\_4.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_5) ``` { VidDesign\_5.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_6) ``` { VidDesign\_6.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_7) ``` { VidDesign\_7.stop(); } ``` gotoAndStop(currentFrame + 300); ``` } function menuButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void { ``` if(VidDesign_1) ``` { VidDesign\_1.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_2) ``` { VidDesign\_2.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_3) ``` { VidDesign\_3.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_4) ``` { VidDesign\_4.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_5) ``` { VidDesign\_5.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_6) ``` { VidDesign\_6.stop(); } ``` else if (VidDesign_7) ``` { VidDesign\_7.stop(); } ``` gotoAndPlay(1); ``` }
