Alright, so I'm trying to make a small swf out of one of my gifs. My avatar, to be exact. I'm making it so that nothing happens or animates until you move the mouse over it, and then the rest of the animation plays along with a sound. I got it figured that I'd make the first frame a button, so I could use Flash's actionscript to have it goto frame 2 in the "over" state. But I didn't get very far at all. I got all the frames imported, turned frame 1 into a button, but when I tried editing the "over" state in the actions panel it says "selection can not hold any actions." (It's supposed to show a text box with other options including which frame I want the button to go). So I don't know what the Hell I'm doing wrong. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged.
PS I'm using Flash MX. |

I don't use Flash very often, but is it possible to make a movie clip of the animation sequence + sound (try changing it to 'sync'), and inserting an instance of it into the button's 'hover' frame?
Not sure if this would work.
Another way that may work is to create a movie clip of the animation, but have the first frame stop it from playing (with ActionScript). You'd then have some sort of AS handler to detect when the mouse goes over to play.
I don't have much experience with AS so I can't really help you much there. |

yes
However I saved all the frames individually as jpegs and imported them all in individually as jpegs. I wanted only to turn frame 1 into a button and leave the rest as shapes. I was afraid that bringing the whole thing in as one gif, it would turn the whole animation into a button and that's not what I wanted. |
