Replaying a mc

[coolguy13]

Hi

I have a mc inside a frame on the main time line. a button on the main time line. i want to play the movie each time the button is clicked.
another situation is i hv loaded a movie using loadMovie command. i want to play it again. currently i m using unloadMovie & loadMovie in succession. is there any other way of doing it...

please help!!!

thx!!!

Assuming ur mc is called 'myMc' and it's stoped in the first frame put this code on the butt:

on (release){
myMc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Assuming (again) u r loading the movie into a container called 'container', it's stoped in the first frame and u want to play it again from a butt, put this code on the butt:

on (release){
container.gotoAndPlay(2);
}


Note that u refer to the loaded movie by it's container name

thanks eki!
but the second part is not working. when i load a movie in a target (say mcTgt) it doesn't replay when i click on the replay button. I m using
on (release){
_root.mcTgt.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

can somebody help me

Hi,

Are u stoping the movie in frame1?
If so gotoAndPlay should be(2).(although is best to label the frames in wich case it'd be mcTgt.gotoAndPlay("PLAY"); assuming u label the next frame to the one the movie is stoped in 'PLAY')

Cheers

No, I m not stopping the movie in frame1. I hv tried with frame label as well but nothing worked. for the time being i m unloading & loadingthe movie again in my replay button. but it doesnt seem to be a good solution. any other way of doing it.
