If I understand your question, you want six buttons each of which
will tell a specific MC to play, while telling whichever one is
currently playing to gotoAndPlay a specific frame ...
In Flash 4 syntax, you could say something like:
on (press) {
tellTarget(/:playing_clip) {
gotoAndPlay('whatever_label');
}
tellTarget(my_clip) {
Play();
}
/:playing_clip = my_clip;
}
and either place each button in a MC and set my_clip from the parent
timeline, or hard-code it in to each button like tellTarget('/clip1')
Make sense?
>This action will play the last 15 frames of one movie
>clip while simultaneously starting another movie clip. The major issue is
>that there will be 6 movie clips and each button needs to be able to tell
>which movie is currently playing (so that the action will play the last 15
>frames).
>
>Any advice? Any code? Please help!
