Hey,

I’ve imported a Swift3D file into flash as a movie clip. The movie clip includes 19 frames which move the object around. I’m trying to get it to move only when a user clicks down on the mouse instead constantly moving. So if the user moves to the right, the movie clip image moves to the right, and vice-a-versa. I"m not really sure how to start on this. I want the object to open and not move- only move when the user clicks and moves the mouse.

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks :ne:
