Okay, I have this character in my game here, and I want to make it so that you can click him, and he moves out of the cow's way. But when I when I type in the most obvious coding,

Code: Select all

on(release){
   gotoAndPlay(2);
}

instead of moving forward in the timeline, it goes to frame two inside the actual Sonic movie clip. Which doesn't help.

So I tried

Code: Select all

on(release){
   _root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

but that made it so that when you clicked Sonic, it went back to the beginning of my Flash Movie, the preloader...

I also tried

Code: Select all

on(release){
   this._parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

and that just did the same thing as _root.gotoAndPlay(2)...

Is there any other coding I can use to fix this problem?

Make it a button, and then use the first code.

But the character has to be animated...
Do I put the movie clip in the button?


EDIT: Tried that, and it worked! Yahoo!

Now I have to do that to every character...

Yup. Looky here.. while it is still up.



EDIT: It's gone.
