Hey all, I made this hunting game where i have buffalos randomly moving around as movie clips. When ever you click on them you get points, what i would like to try n do now, but i am currently stumped, is to make them either dissappear or have another graphic take their place. Maybe a corpse or something. Any suggestions or places where i could find info would be a lot of help THANKS. :tb:

you can make a new frame in the buffalo movieclip and have a dead one there, labeling it “dead” or something like that. Then when you click on it, use

gotoAndStop(“dead”)

so it will show that frame

Did you make the code :

onRelease(){  
//target the mc timeline  
this.gotoAndStop(“frame”);  
}

???

I think you need to make a mc of the buffalo. Put that mc into a button and then you could just use the down frame to play the dead buffalo.

Atleast that is a way I think it could work,  
but getting a onRelease code sounds much better.

Yeah, if you were to use the “down” frame of a button, the button would just go back to it’s “up” state, unless you had actions on the button . . . .
