hi fellow flashers, i need some direction. A have an mc and I want it to to remain still until the cursor touches it. I’d prefer it not be a button. Should i use an invisible button, tell target, I’m not sure. Right now I’m looking through tutorials maybe I’ll hit something.
well… using a button inside of the movie clip, or even converting the movie clip to a button is really the easiest way.
You could do without a button, but I dont know if it will yield the results you’re expecting.
Here’s some code inside a movie clip.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse,true)){
        gotoandPlay(“startmove”);
}
}
In the movie clip, the first frame has a stop action. the second frame was named “startmove” (without quotes).
good luck!
