Best way to stop every frame in an MC?...

[WhiteTiger]

How can I have a stop in every frame in an MC without having to make key frames all over the place? Regards,

I don't think I quite understand what you want to do.

From what I think you mean, you could use the GoToAndStop action when you go to the desired frame inside the movie clip.

No, what I'm trying to do, is there are 2 buttons...up and down...as I press them I want them to advance an MC 1 frame forwards or backwards...how could I accomplish this? Regards,

Try this code on your buttons...

on(release){
gotoAndStop(_currentframe-1);
}

or

on(release){
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+1);
}

...if it's movieClip specific use...

myClip.gotoAndStop(_currentframe+1);

but will the movie stop in the next frame if there is no stop action?

i think your answer is, no there is no easy way..you have to add them all manually..you can't tween a stop action..but you can make a new layer right..goto the last frame of the movie and add your key frame..that will stretch the keyframe the entire length of the movie..that way you can add a stop action in each frame without having to add a keyframe plus stop action in each frame..


make sense?

gotoAndStop() does stop the playhead... otherwise there would be no need for a gotoAndPlay().

Thanks wangbar, next is the continuous feedback buttons and I'll be all set...I'm not ready to get into the scrollbar complications just yet...a up and down button should do me fine...=)

And thank you virt for being polite this time...

And ORLANDO media solutions...as in Florida? Regards,
