Thank you for your response.
Yes I had figured out that the script had to be attached to the sprites and
not the casts.
This is what I did:
on mouseDown
set the visibility of sprite 31 to 1
end
on mouseUp
set the movieRate of sprite 6 to 1
end
on mouseEnter me
set the member of sprite the currentSpriteNum to member "pause all"
end
on mouseLeave me
set the member of sprite the currentSpriteNum to member "pause"
end
and for "play" I did the opposite ie visibility 0 and movierate 0. I had
set visibility of sprite 31 to 0 in moviescript - on startmovie.
Now the rollovers seem to work.
Is there anything wrong with doing it like this?
Now I want to make fastforward and fastreverse buttons but I would like to
make onMousedown set the movierate to 2 but on mouseUp either 0 or 1
depending on whether the video was playing or paused when the button is
clicked so that it doesn't get out of sync with the play/pause button.
I have no idea how to go about doing this. I'm guessing that it's some kind
of if then script but what?
Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks
