Hello everyone…

I don’t have the time to read all post in this forum, so I (myabe) could help myself, but… I have a little problem with a animation… ( you can se my animation here: [www.john5.dk/horror.html](http://www.john5.dk/horror.html) )  
How do I make a “replay” button on my animation??

(When the “movie” is over, I want to click on a button, and see the “movie” again)

Hope you understand… sorry for my bad english :S

Chris…

You expect people to help you but you wont help yourself :roll:

on(release){  
mc\_to\_reply.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}

That should do it, place it on the replay button

It doesnt take hours…  
Besides it does work, if the animation is on the main timeline then replace mc\_to\_reply with \_root, or \_parent if its relative parent

Put this code on a movieclip that represents the replay button  
on(release){  
\_parent.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}

Im just sticking the fla up somewhere so you can have it, but all you need todo is give the head an instance name(in the properties area, i called it mc\_head)  
Then click the replay button, open up the actions panel and add this code 😉  
on(release){  
mc\_head.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}

Works a treat
