Popping SWF Button

Popping
Hi...

I`ve done a fair bit of animation before... but this is the first time I`ve tried to make a web page....

Well so far most of the project has gone smoothly, except for the part where I made a button and it supposed to bring up a popup window with a picture inside it.....

I tried to use one of the tutorial, but I did not quite understand:
__________________________________________________ ________
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Dy...-748/more2.php
__________________________________________________ _______

The Author writes:

__________________________________________________ _________
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('ShowPopup.php' ,'newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,
toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,res izable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus();
void(0);");
}
__________________________________________________ __________

Ok... I copied and pasted the text and the popup came up.... but how do I place my picture inside it (model.jpg)?

I would guess it should go where the "ShowPopup.php" is... But how do I convert a .jpg file to a php file...._?
Or more logically, how do I put a .jpg file inside a .php file_?

"Everything is damn simple when you know how to do it"

Popping Sounds?
I need some good ears for a quick sound check. This is a very, very rough layout for a site that's using a sound control for volume and selection. When I first click on the button I hear a skip or click. Any advice? I'm using the sound object with attach sound for both. I'll post the fla if needed. Thanks!

My Audio Is Popping
hi

I'm looping a 5 second audio clip. The clip, which I created using garage band is clean with no unwanted noise.

when I import it into flash, it pops every time it loops and sounds really bad.

I tried editing the souns in Sound Studio, even trimmed off the ends of the sound, but I still get the pop.

Any idea how I can avoid this?

cheers!

[F8] Bitmaps Popping On And Off
I'm hoping someone else has come across this issue. I've searched but haven't found anything or anyone yet with information.

Situation: Flash animated characters created from bitmaps, cut out and hinged like paper dolls.

Issue: Animated characters begin to pop/flash off and on stage about every other frame. This popping/flashing is fixed by simply digging into the symbol and "touching" the bitmap. This method to fix is time consuming and frustrating.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening, other than not using bitmaps?

Thanks

Footer Popping Up...
I have a footer movie clip with buttons on it. I'd like it to slide 20 pixels up using tween class when I roll over it and to slide back down when I roll out. Since I have buttons on it the footer slides back down whenever I roll over those buttons. I've tried using mouseListener with _ymouse but it has some "glitches" since the movement is not linear but "easeOutQuart" (BTW, 'm using MC_tween, not that it matters I guess). The listener updates the mouse position whenever I move the mouse so the popping up process stops and continues when the mouse is not moving anymore.
Here is something similar I'd like to make but that I don't need to click to slide the footer up LINK Is there a way? Hope someone can help.

My movie and asp page are working great, inserting into the database like it's supposed to, but, the asp page pops up in a different window and stays there, there's nothing on it, which is why I don't understand why it comes up..it's only code to talk to the server.....the code that tells the flash movie to go to that page is

}

any help would be appreciated. thanks

Popping Cursor
hi.
i had an earlier post about an interactive scene with bubbles. i've just updated the code and works quite well except the pin cursor that is meant to pop the bubbles is still not working.
could anyone help?

here is the code:
main class

ActionScript Code:
package{ import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; public class main extends MovieClip{ private var myBubble:Bubble; public function main(){ for(var i:int = 0; i < 15; i++){ myBubble = new Bubble(this); addChild(myBubble); } } } }


bubble class

ActionScript Code:
package { import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; public class Bubble extends Sprite { var angle:Number; var randomSpeed:Number; var theParent:Object; public function Bubble(theParent) { theParent = theParent; angle = Math.random() * 140 - 200; randomSpeed = Math.random() * 10; this.x = theParent.stage.stageWidth/2.5; this.y = theParent.stage.stageHeight-150; this.scaleX = this.scaleY = Math.random(); addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,floatUp); } public function floatUp(evt:Event) { var radian:Number = angle * Math.PI/400; var vx:Number = Math.ceil(radian) * randomSpeed; var vy:Number = Math.sin(radian) * randomSpeed; this.x += vx; this.y += vy; } }}


pin class

ActionScript Code:
package{ import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; public class Pin extends MovieClip{ var mypin = new Pin(); public function addPin(evt:Event){ addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,addPin); addChild(mypin); mypin.x = mouseX; mypin.y = mouseY; mypin.startDrag(true); } public function floatUp(evt:Event) { evt.target.y -= evt.target.theParent; if (evt.target.hitTestPoint(mypin.x - mypin.width / 2, mypin.y, true)) { evt.target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,floatUp); evt.target.theParent.removeChild(evt.target); } } }}

Stop Flash When Popping Up
hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to stop the flash player from doing any processing when a new pop-up browser window is opened. Basically when I open a pop-up window the player in the main window is slowing down the one in the new window. The main window is not playing frames, but some quite processor intensive code, which would be difficult to stop from within the code.

I think I've seen something like this on some other sites. Where the main window becomes paused until it is clicked again.

thanks if anyone can help

Flash Popping Windows...
Hi all!
I'm still trying to figure out how to create these flash popping wondows, which are dragable and contain a Close button which closes the window once released. A very good example of what I'm talking about can be found on this site:
http://www.superhere.net/
I'm not talking about making exact same windows, but about the idea itself... I tried to look in the tutorials section, but didn't find anything. Can anybody please help me out here? How do I do that??
Thank you in advance!

Popping A Window Using GetURL
I am having a problem trying to successfully pop a window from within Flash. I am using the follwing code to do this.

getURL("javascript:window.open('http://www.larchmedia.com"','movieWindow','fullscreen=yes ')", "", "POST");

The problem I am having is that the window opens with no problem but the page that has the Flash embedded in it changes to display a page that just says [object]
Also any variables that should get sent to the new window do not get sent.

The URL here has been changed because the real URL is on a development site. The real URL is an .ASP page that is expecting parameters that get passed to Flash in the new page via FlashVars

I know that if I was to do this from a regular HTML document using just javascript I would need to assign the window.open to a variable as in
windowOpener = window.open() etc.
How do I assign it to a variable in Flash?

I have looked in different books and online and it looks like all I need to do is what I have been doing. But this does not work.

Any ideas?

I am using Flash MX

Thanks,

Colin

Sound Popping With Use Of Streaming
Hey everyone,
Has anyone had any issues with sound popping/crackling after being exported from flash? i've imported an mp3 and if i put the setting on "Event" it sounds perfect on export. but if i put it on "Stream" which is the setting i need to use, it crackles and pops every so often. i've tried playing with the compression settings to no avail. i've never experienced this before so i'd really be grateful if someone could clue me in here. thanks!

Popping A Window ... What Technique?
What's the current "best" method for popping a sized window from Flash?

It's been a while since I had to do this. Back when I did it 4 years ago, the technique suggested was using a hidden frame set, populating a hidden frame with a page that used an onload function to pop the window. (This seems problematic these days with pop-up blockers proliferating.)

I recently saw an FLA that used Javascript in the getURL command, as follows:
getURL("_javascript:window.open('page.html','name' ,'width=650,height=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,re sizable=yes,menubar=no'); void(0);");

Does this latter technique work cross-browser and cross-platform?

Any advice on the best way to this would be appreciated.

Thx.

Sounds Popping And Cracking
i have a flash file that is going out on CD with a bunch of sample of my work. there are several sounds in the file including button sounds, and music looping in the background. why is it that the music always pops and skips. i have the settings set high because it's coming directly of the cd so there is no load time.

i have tried all sorts of settings with no results. i can't get the music to play without popping. what setting should i be using to remedy this problem. it's unacceptable to send a SWF to a possible client/job with a bunch of popping in the sounds.

thanks
kurt

i have tried both mp3 and wav formats

Bubble Popping(urgent)
hi
i was lookin at an earlier thread by 'dna' and they produced a game where you click bubbles onto the screen then by pressing the spacebar your cursor becomes a pin and pops the bubbles.
i was wondering if anyone knew how to make the bubbles float up themselves from a particular poisition (say at a specific point along the x-axis).
Problem is i prefer to do it as an external .as file.
could anyone help me???

this is their code:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addBubble);
var pin:mcpin = new mcpin();

function addBubble(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var newBubble:mcBubble = new mcBubble();
newBubble.x = mouseX;
newBubble.y = mouseY;
newBubble.scaleX = newBubble.scaleY = Math.random();
//add a custom property (floatFactor) to newBubble:
newBubble.floatFactor = Math.floor(Math.random() * 2 + 1);
newBubble.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, floatAndTestForHit);
addChild(newBubble);
}
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, addPin);

function addPin(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
//disallow adding any more bubbles and pins once a key is pressed:
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addBubble);
stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, addPin);
//add the pin to the stage and move it to the mouse coordinates:
addChild(pin);
pin.x = mouseX;
pin.y = mouseY;
pin.startDrag(true);
}

function floatAndTestForHit(event:Event):void
{
//float:
event.target.y -= event.target.floatFactor;
//test for hit with pin:
if(event.target.hitTestPoint(pin.x - pin.width / 2, pin.y, true))
{
event.target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME , floatAndTestForHit);
event.target.parent.removeChild(event.target);
}
}

SetVolume And Popping Noise
hello out there!
i've made a little setVolume sound randomizer based on josh davis' random line script. technically it works, but apparently making setVolume changes that rapidly leads to tiny popping sounds at each change. here's the thingy, headphones might be necessary to hear what i'm referring to.

anyone have any suggestions on how this might be worked around?

Pushing And Popping An Array
I have two buttons, one that adds a ball to an array and displays it and one pops a ball from the array and removes it from the display list, the add button works fine, however when i push the subtract button I get this message ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

Here is my code, thanks:

var iconArray:Array = new Array();
var ball:Ball;
var icon_count:int = 0;

add_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startAdd );
sub_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,stopAdd) ;

function startAdd(evt:MouseEvent){


addBall(1);

}

function stopAdd(evt:MouseEvent){
subBall(1);
}

function subBall(num_ball:int){
add_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,start Add);

for(var i:int = 0; i < num_ball; i++){
iconArray.pop()
removeChild(ball);
trace(iconArray);
}

}

function addBall(num_ball:int){

for(var i:int = 0; i < num_ball; i++){

Popping Out Of An Html Page?
First off thanks for all the help. I am truly inspired by this forum. This is a great place for learning. I have read through many posts and have learned a great deal from other peoples posts and questions, so thanks again.

Now for my question. I have a set of buttons that I have made into a swf. I am using them to navigate my site, only thing is that when i click on a button, the swf opens on top of my html page that is holding my main swf (in param tags) and over laps the whole page, anyway. I tried, when I was scripting the buttons, this:

on (release) {
getURL("flash/LoadMovie/loadmovie.swf", _blank);

}

on (release) {
getURL("flash/LoadMovie/loadmovie.swf", _top);

}
I would like to have the swf movies open to about 400 by 300 px and and centered. Also, I would like to add a "close window" button to the movie that has been opened.
can someone help me with this?

here is my new site:

Thanks again,

Popping Windows On A Timer?
Hi all,

I've got to make a Flash quiz with a count down on the questions so people only have a set time to answer. Obviously, that bit's relatively easy. Just create a timer movie clip and instruct it to go to a "time's up" scene when it runs out. However (here's the catch!) at the same time I want to randomly pop up other questions in front of the quiz without stopping the timer in the background that people have to correctly answer before they can carry on. The idea is to create a bit of panic in people doing the questions!



I'm thinking of doing it like this. In the main stage have a scene with a main question in. That scene loads a generic "clock" clip that counts down and redirects you to a "time's up" scene when it runs out.

In the "clock" clip I want to randomly load from a set of movie clips one secondary question clip that appears in front of what they're working on. I want that question clip to appear with the following conditions:

1. On any particular main question I want a 60% chance of them getting a secondary question loading.

2. If they get a secondary question (and I'm thinking 30 seconds is about right to answer the main question), I want it to load somewhere between 10 seconds and 20 seconds (ie: they have time to absorb the initial question and it doesn't jump on them with a second to go cos that wouldn't be fair).

Any ideas on how you might ActionScript this?

Cheers,

G

Popping Up A Borderless Skinless Window
Hi all.

I have a number of questions im about to put in that I'd really appreciate some help with.

This one is regarding how to pop up a skinless, borderless window from a button.

My main file has got some buttons that pop up seperate windows that have game .swf's in them. What Id like to do is pop up a window that has as little 'baggage' as possible, instead of the usual toolbars and stuff.

My button has currently got the following action script:
getURL("W_Quiz_Work1.swf", "_blank");

Is there any other command or script I can add or exchange this for that will do this? And what about positioning or the popup in relation to the screen as well?

Thanks heaps for any help.

This Problem Keeps Popping Up So Simple, And I Can't Solve It.
I really need a solution to this kind of code.

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
ball0._x = _root._xmouse;
ball1._x += (ball2._x - ball1._x)/30;
ball2._x += (ball3._x - ball2._x)/30;
ball3._x += (ball4._x - ball3._x)/30;
ball4._x += (ball5._x - ball4._x)/30;
ball5._x += (ball6._x - ball5._x)/30;
ball6._x += (ball7._x - ball6._x)/30;
ball7._x += (ball8._x - ball7._x)/30;
ball8._x += (ball9._x - ball8._x)/30;
ball9._x += (ball0._x - ball9._x)/30;
}

this should be really simple to convert to an array. I can only come up with something like this but it doesn't seem to work:

this["ball"+i]._x += (this["ball"+i+1]._x + this["ball"+i]._x)/30;


I've been looking through stuff and thought the solution would be to use an empty movie clip as a container. But it doesn't work either.

Any ideas anyone???? It seems I use this stuff alot in my experimentations and always run into this problem.

THX for reading and thinking about this one.

Flash Detection Script Popping Up
Hello

I have this detection script which detects to see if they have version 8 or not. It works great. Although it pops up a window if they dont' have it and asks them to download it which is fine.

Embedded .wav Files Causing Popping Sounds
Hello,

I'm embedding a series of short .wav files that are imported into the timeline of a regular shockwave file.

When I'm exporting the .fla file into the .swf file and play it, the sound causes a series of obnoxious popping sounds.

Any ideas of some settings that might take care of this?

Thanks a lot,
Clem C

Images In Flash Banner Popping During Gradient Mask
Hi everyone,
I developed at a site with a flash banner (rotating images with a gradient mask). I know all of my images are in the exact same spot and the exact same size but they seem to pop a bit during fade in. Can anyone lend some advice on how to avoid this? Here is the site. http://www.novascotiaseacoast.com.

Preventing Flash Movies Form Popping Up In New Window
I'm attempting to create a portfolio website in Flash CS3. Each project is a different .swf exported as an html doc and linked via buttons within the Flash movie. I've done this to make navigation easier by allowing visitors to use the back button if they desire. However, when the buttons are pressed each new html page and subsequent flash movie opens up into a new browser window instead of simply navigating within the same browser window to the next webpage. I believe that it could be my actionscript for the buttons:

function goWPAT(event:MouseEvent) :void
{
var targetURL:URLRequest = new
URLRequest ("

I want the timeline to stop when I mouseover the images and start again when i roll the mouse off, I'm using on (rollover) and on (rollout) and this works fine, but I want to be able to click one of the images and have a website pop up. on (release) doesnt seem to work if I am using on (rollover) or on (rollout) and vice versa. You can see my work in progress at http://www.digitalus.co.nz/photos.fla (64kb)

[F8] [FCS3] Photo Album-ish Thumbnail Popping Up Larger Image Problem.
I'm using Flash CS3, but this project began in 8 and uses AS 1 and 2, so I figured this was the more appropriate section.

So I have a basic photo album for prototyping that is populated by values from an XML file. There are 9 maximum thumbnails (3 x 3) in each album. This all works.

Upon onRelease of each thumbnail a pop up larger-view movie clip appears to display the respective larger image. The viewer movie clip appears fine and in the correct position. The problem is the larger image does not get loaded into the holder clip within the viewer. Output is telling me that the value that I'm pulling from the XML file is undefined.

Both the thumbs and the larger images are using the same XML file and the same array. All of the pertinent code is within a class. All the correct files are in the folder they should be in. It is not a file not found error. Typos have been accounted for. The code for populating the thumbs is almost identical to the code for the larger image. It's just that one works, and the other doesn't.


Code:
class Photos extends MovieClip {
//
public var a:Number;
public var i:Number;
//
public function Photos() {
//load in XML
_root.photoXML = new XML();
_root.photoXML.ignoreWhite = true;
_root.photoXML.load("xmlData/photos.xml");
_root.photoXML.onLoad = function(success){
if(success) {
this.XmlConnect();
}
}
}
public function goPhotos() {
//
//First build arrays:
_root.photosArray = new Array();
_root.totalPhotos = _root.photoXML.childNodes[0].childNodes.length;
// fill arrays ::
for (a=0; a<_root.totalPhotos; a++) {
if(_root.photoXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[a].attributes.blockNum == _root.blockNum and _root.photoXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[a].attributes.locNum == _root.locNum+1) {
_root.photosArray.push({photoName:_root.photoXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[a].attributes.title, photoFile:_root.photoXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[a].attributes.filename});
}
}
trace("photosArray length = "+_root.photosArray.length);
//
for(a=0;a<10;a++) {
_root.detail.photoSec.photosHolder["img"+a].img._alpha = 0;
_root.detail.photoSec.photosHolder["img"+a].img._visible = false;
}
//
for(a=0;a<_root.photosArray.length;a++) {
_root.detail.photoSec.photosHolder["img"+a].img.loadMovie("images/sm_"+_root.photosArray[a].photoFile+".jpg",a);
_root.detail.photoSec.photosHolder["img"+a].img._visible = true;
_root.detail.photoSec.photosHolder["img"+a].img._alpha = 100;
}
//
//
//
_root.detail.audioSec.vLoader.vHolder.unloadMovie();
_root.detail.audioSec.audioControlsHolder.vStat.grabBar._x = 0;
_root.detail.audioSec.vLoader.gotoAndStop(1);
//
//
//
}
public function hidePhotos() {
for(i=0;i<_root.photosArray.length;i++) {
_root.detail.photoSec.photosHolder["img"+i].enabled = false;
}
}
public function showPhotos() {
for(i=0;i<_root.photosArray.length;i++) {
_root.detail.photoSec.photosHolder["img"+i].enabled = true;
}
}
public function launchLargePhotoViewer(photoNum) {
/*_root.detail.photoSec.photosHolder["img"+_root.locNum].onRelease=function():Void {
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder.removeMovieClip();
_root.detail.createEmptyMovieClip("largeViewerHolder", _root.detail.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder.attachMovie("largeViewer", "largeViewer"+i, _root.detail.largeViewerHolder.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x: 251.1, _y:-27.9});
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].createEmptyMovieClip("img", _root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].getNextHighestDepth());
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].img.loadMovie("images/md_"+_root.photosArray[i].photoFile+".jpg", i);
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].img._x = _root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i]._x + (_root.detail.largeViewerHolder._width - _root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].pic._width)*.5;
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].img._y = _root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i]._y + (_root.detail.largeViewerHolder._height - _root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].pic._height)*.5;
}*/
for (i=0;i<_root.photosArray.length;i++) {
_root.detail.photoSec.photosHolder["img"+i].onRelease=function():Void {
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder.removeMovieClip();
_root.detail.createEmptyMovieClip("largeViewerHolder", _root.detail.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder.attachMovie("largeViewer", "largeViewer"+i, _root.detail.largeViewerHolder.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x: 251.1, _y:-27.9});
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].createEmptyMovieClip("img", _root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].getNextHighestDepth());
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].img.loadMovie("images/md_"+_root.photoXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].attributes.filename+".jpg", i);
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].img._x = _root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i]._x + (_root.detail.largeViewerHolder._width - _root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].pic._width)*.5;
_root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].img._y = _root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i]._y + (_root.detail.largeViewerHolder._height - _root.detail.largeViewerHolder["largeViewer"+i].pic._height)*.5;
}
}
}
}


I appreciate any insight into this conundrum.

ETA: photoFile is the culprit of 'undefined'

Flash "corrupting" All Tweens, So I'm Left With Objects Popping Around..
Anyone experienced this? I send an SWF of a Flash game to the client, and they say all the animations are gone. They send it back, and sure enough, there are no animations. It's like it got rid of every tween. I've re-exported it and sent it again, and sure enough, blegh, it comes back in epileptic seizure mode.

It works until the client sends it back to me. Anyone know how to fix it?

"Popping Up" A New Window In Flash.
I'm building an application what will be embedded in external websites and using Flex Data Services to access services hosted by our Application Server. The app is embedded as a 200x300 widget on the external site. Once the person logs in I would like to "pop up" a new screen that is bigger (say 700x400). I'm wondering what capabilities flash has to do this. Two possible hacks that I can think of are :
1)Open a new browser window (breaks with pop-up blockers)
2)Embed another flash object in a hidden div and then try showing the div.

Is there a standard practice for doing something like this? Does flash have a mechanism built in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Stop Button States In Button With Animation With Button
Hello there,

I wonder if someone could help me to do this:

I have a movie clip with 3 animated buttons in it. Now I want to make the same movie clip into a button itself but I want the inside buttons not to show their over, press or hit states.

If I try and change the buttons' states this will change the originals which I don't want to do. I could replace the buttons with stills but this could be very time consuming since I have a lot of buttons in very long and complex animations. I could also duplicate the buttons and make the changes and then substitute them in the new movie, but this is also a very long process...

Is there a way to disable the buttons' state in an instance of the button as supposed to all of them when changing the master ?

Thanks a million to whoever helps.

Daniel

Button On Top Of A Button... Still Retain The Base Button Actions?
Hi there.... is it possible to still use the rollover / rollout buttons when a underneath another button??

I have been trying to have a slide in menu that basically slides away on rollout, but of course when you have buttons on this slide in menu, this triggers the rollout on the underlying movie or button and makes the menu dissapear.

Is there someway to avoid this or should I be using a different approach? Maybe a hit test on the mouse cursor perhaps?

Appreciate any help in advance,

Scott

Rollover/off Anim Control Button, Problem Adding Button Functionality
Hi, I'm really new to flash, so forgive me for sounding like an simpleton.

I'm trying to create a button that when you roll over, it grows in size and some text animates onto it. When you roll off, the anim is supposed to reverse and go back to the rest state. I've managed to get the animation to work okay, so it grows and shrinks accordinly. My problem now is, I want to make this into a functional button, ie to add a mailto: link, or a link to another frame.

Whats the best way to achieve this? I've tried to convert to a button and have the anim in all button states, but this didn't work. And a get an error when trying to add the mailto action script to the button, saying 'on release' should only be used on instanced buttons. I tried making an invisible button behind the animated on, but I loose the animation playback when rolling over the invisible button. It seems I can't do both for some reason.

I'm using this script on the first frame to control the playback of the movie. And stop on the last frame.


stop();
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
this.play();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
};
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
};

Any help would be appreciated, I've tried so many times with different approaches to no avail.
