Sorta new to AS but I feel I’ve got a good question.
I have a swf file that has hotspots that will circle over an object over the course of 20 frames. I wanted to have a button that allows you to turn off/ on the the hotspots
.
see example swf here: www.mediafire.com/?zszngdv5iiy
and flash file here: www.mediafire.com/?onz1mwscdoi
It’s almost working. The hide/show button does it’s job hiding the hotspots at first. However, when I use the slider the hotspots reappear. I’m guessing it’s because the hotspots that are reappearing were not actually present when the initial hide command was given. Does anybody have any idea of how I can govern these guys a little better?
(By the way I’m sure it’s not the slider code b/c I took it out and still had the same problem.)
My code (on the first frame followed my 19 more frames of hotspots):
stop();
//HIDE SHOW
//When our buttons pressed:
this.toggle_btn.onRelease = function () {
//check if its visible
if (mirrors._visible == true) {
//if it is make them invisible
mirrors._visible = false;
airports._visible = false;
frontcowl._visible = false;
instrumentpanel._visible = false;
steeringdamper._visible = false;
rearcowl._visible = false;
frame._visible = false;
engine._visible = false;
frontbrake._visible = false;
wheels._visible = false;
assistslipperclutch._visible = false;
sidestand._visible = false;
swingarm._visible = false;
exhaustsystem._visible = false;
} else {
//otherwise make them visible
mirrors._visible = true;
airports._visible = true;
frontcowl._visible = true;
instrumentpanel._visible = true;
steeringdamper._visible = true;
rearcowl._visible = true;
frame._visible = true;
engine._visible = true;
frontbrake._visible = true;
wheels._visible = true;
assistslipperclutch._visible = true;
sidestand._visible = true;
swingarm._visible = true;
exhaustsystem._visible = true;
}
};

nob._x = slot._x;
nob._y = slot._y;
totalFrame = 20; // this must equal to the length of main timeline
// If you control a timeline in a movieclip, a lot more easier
nob.onPress=function(){
startDrag(nob,0,slot._x,slot._y,slot._width+slot._x-this._width,slot._y);
