New to ActionScript...stopping/playing movie
I'm new to ActionScript (within days). I've been thrown this
project which has a few simple Flash elements.
One is five photos that need to fade at different times to another. I've made these movie clips that loop. However, I'd like them to start playing at different times so there is always one photo changing.
Therefore, the first frame should stop all but one movie clip from playing. 10 frames later the clip called Photo2 should start, 10 frames later Photo3, etc.
I've tried:
Photo2.stop(); on the first frame (applying the same to the other four clips). But I get an error that says "Access to undefined property [movie clip name]". I've used Photo2.play(); as the frame event when I want to start the clip playing. The above error is given to me on those events as well.
What am I doing wrong? This seems pretty simple but it's absolutely giving me fits.
