your >> 5 movies in the cast m1,m2,m3,m4,m5

sounds like a style of programming one would use in flash when dealing
with movie clips. Director film loops are more limited and tougher to
revise after creation.

Instead of switching in movies, one usually would jump to markers with
the main movie or jump to seperate external movies.




If you do wnat to assign a film loop to an on stage sprite.

Have a 'placeholde'r sprite already on stage, then reassign it's member
with:

sprite(10).member = "m2"

Hi...

First of all, what's the idea of a repeat statement when you just want Director to perfom a task an nothing more ?...Repeat statements are to be used only when you want Director to continually perform something (events) as long as a condition is true.

For your above example....all that needs is a go to movie command (if that's what i've understood from your post)


script for button b1

on mouseup me
go to "m1"
end

thanx guys

i gave behaviors to all the buttons...it was massy when you dealing with 80 buttons,and movieclips..

In this case you would use one single behaviour, and take advantage of the
getPropertyDescriptionList handler to pass in variables to your buttons.

There are many examples out there, check some out at [url]www.mediamacros.com[/url]
