Hi, I’m new here, and new to Flash.
I am a very experienced programmer, however (OOP using C++), and have readily taken to Actionscript 3.0.
I am making a series of jigsaw puzzles. After the user has successfully dragged all the pieces to their correct places an “congratulations” animation plays.
My code is completely object-oriented, with a document class (DocClass) and a piece class (PieceClass, sub-classed from MovieClip) that is the base class for the pieces. I have no Actionscript in frame 1 and all the user interaction happens there.
The “congratulations” animation starts in frame 2 (after the puzzle is done I do gotoAndPlay(2) ) and goes on for a long time, maybe 50 to 100 frames depending on what we do. I found it was looping back to the beginning, so I placed an action in the last frame, simply a stop() command. This worked fine.
I notice that right-clicking on the movie there is the “Rewind” option. I know the movie can be exported without this but if I would like to support it.
My question is this, upon Rewind to what state does the system revert to? Does all the logic go back to frame 1? What exactly is frame 1 (or any frame for that matter) in terms of the document class? Does rewinding cause the document class’s constructor to run again?
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
