What you could do is, use a Movie Clip and use the mouseDown event.\r\rWhat you do is right hand click on a Movie Clip (or make a new Movie clip) then select “Actions” and this will open up the Object Actions editor. just use the following code:\r\r---------------------------\ronClipEvent(mouseDown){\r/\* have your code do whatever, like using the play(); function \*/\r\r\r}\r\r--------------------------\r\rBasically this will detect any mouse click, that way you have have it play or do whatever like Powerpoint does.\r\r=)\r\r~D
