Loading movie clips and actions

I know this is probably pretty easy so please don’t laugh. I’m a designer, not a programmer so this stuff boggles my mind most days :slight_smile:

Here is what I have and what I need to do. My project is just a main stage with 4 buttons at the bottom. Each button will tell a movie clip on the stage to go to a certain frame and play. What I want to do is have transition out effects for each of the buttons.

In order to do this I need to be able to tell the buttons that once clicked, check the 3 other movie clips on the stage and see what frame they are at. If they are at a certain frame, go to and play the transition out. If they aren’t do nothing.

So basically it breaks down like this.

  • Project loads and movie clip attached to button 1 starts playing.
  • When I click button 2 I want it to check and see if buttons 1,3 or 4 are at a certain key frame.
  • If any are, go to and play key frame for that movie that starts transition out.
  • If not, stay on current key frame and do nothing.

I would very much appreciate any help!:thumb:
