Alright, I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while and haven’t had any luck, so I’m submitting myself to the masses. In the game I’m working on, my character has a hat. Currently, if you click the hat, it will change from a fedora to a top hat. However, if I make any movements, it will automatically switch back to the fedora. I want it to remain the top hat until I click it again.

The current setup is a movie clip with the fedora on frame one and the top hat on frame two, and clicking switches the frames. I don’t know if this is an easy correction or not, but it’s stumped me.

here’s a link to view the program, it may take a little bit of time to load, right click and zoom if necessary.

Thanks in advance.
