Is it possible...

[mlkedave]

Is it possible to have movieclips, on two seperate layers, both located on the first frame of their layer, to have an AS where when MovieClip1 reached frame 5 of the movieclip MovieClip2 goes to frame 5 of its movieclip but MovieClip1 continues to play even though the AS was triggered? Thanks. Mike

Hi mlkedave

Sure
This is not the correct syntax but this is (something) like what you will need:

When you are at the root level of your movie, and you can see both MC's give them each an instance name. (For now I call them Red and Green)

on frame 5 of the Red MC (on the actual frame, not the MC) have an action like:

_root.Green.gotoAndPlay(5);


If there is no stop(); command, Flash will keep going until you tell it to stop.

Or if you could give frame 5 in the Green MC a frame label, and have the AS gotoAndPlay that frame label.

Hope this helps!

Well that would be nice but I want _root.Green.gotoAndPlay(5);
to trigger when Red reaches its 5th frame. Any suggestions?

on frame 1, type these actions:

var frame5 = false;
stop();

then on frame 5, type these actions:

frame5 = true;

then on teh red thign, type this:

if (frame5 = true) {
var redYes = true;
}

then on teh green thing type these actions:

if (_root.redthing.redYes = true) {
this.gotoAndPlay(5);
}

hope that helped! :be:
