problems with actionscript

[orbitph]

I'm trying to build a menu bar with different movie clips.
Using Actionscript I want to control the bar, if some clip is loaded it starts an alpha sequence and if another button is pressed the clip should unload an load another(depending on the clip)
Actionscript should check which button is last clicked and if it is the second time it's being clicked.

How to do it? working on flash and vb6

I have a script that recognises the current mc so won't run it the second time (close it). Also, when you click another link it will close the current. Is this what you mean/want? I have a .fla somewhere but not here (at work). I will try and post a link to it in a couple of hours. funkymonk B-)

Use a variable such as clicked_once and set it to true on the first press. Then include a conditional statement in the on press action.

Something like this:

on (press) {
if (clicked_once == false) {
// ...do something...
clicked_once = true;
} else {
// ...do something else...
}
}

You can also reset clicked_once to false at the end of your clip "something else...", to get a sort of toggle effect on that button.
