Hey there, I’ve got a movie clip that has a line of mc’s each one expands elastically when the mouse comes near it . Now what I"m trying to do is apply a hitTest to it, so it rolls out and back in when I roll over a button. When I put everything in a mc and on the stage and apply the following script the tween gets stuck on the way back in. Anybody know what might be going on wrong here?
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
this.prevFrame();
}
}
here’s the fla

Don’t use hitTest for that…
this.onRollOver = function()
{code here}
this.onRollOut = function()
{code here}
😉 Also you might wanna use gotoAndPlay instead of prev os next frames. Might work out better for what you are trying to grasp.

I’m not sure I understand. I put this code on my mc .Or is this a seperate button that I’m appling it to. And which code am I putting under that code . Sorry for the trouble I’m not that good with scripting yet.
