Hi, I’m having trouble with this movie clip problem. What I’m trying to do is when a button is pressed my movie activates (done) the prob. is I want the the movie to finish playing and then the next plays’ you’ll understand when you see it. Here’s the file
actually no i dont understand after downloading the zip, care to explain?
ok, what i’ve got is when you press say button1 then the start of animation1 plays. What i need is when you press button2, animation1 finishes and animation2 starts. And I’ve got three buttons. Understand?
Can’t you do something like:
button2 --> on(release) {
movie1.stop();
movie2.gotoAndPlay();
}
:h:
ive got three buttons, so there are three movies. so no, it wont work
Why should it make a difference how many movies/buttons you have?
theres two parts to each movie. when I press button 1, the first part of movie 1 plays. Then when I press button 3 I want movie 1 to finish playing and when it finishes movie 3 starts.
That’s simple: on movie 1, u’ve got a keyframe in the middle with stop() on it. The last keyframe has stop() on it either. When u’r over button 1 (or just click it) you play movie1 (movie1.play()). Movie 1 will play till it reach the stop keyframe. Then on button 2 (or 3) u’ll have to play movie1 again (movie1.play()). Movie 1 will resume playing from the keyframe in the middle and stopping on the last frame. The same thing u’ll do with all the movies. Hope u’ll understand all what I have said to u 
Check out this sample fla by Senocular. Read the description - I think it does what you want to do - have one animation end before another starts all at the click of a button.
