Setting up a function

Hello Forums:

This problem is a little complex, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am a C++ Programmer, but flash actionscript is a bit confusing and alien to me.

Thanks in advance.


Situation:
I have a movie clip loaded on level1 (loadMovieNum).

There's a button.

If someone clicks on the button, I want _level1.play() to run, followed by a 1 second wait, and then ANOTHER movie clip is played.

Can someone give me a hand with this function script?

Thanks.

Hi:

Thanks for the reply.

I don't think what level1 does is any relevance. I more or less just need to know about the "waiting" and how to write a function in action script that will:

Click on a button
Play a child movie clip on level1
Wait
Load another movie clip on level1.

Please help.
Thanks.

thats a very loose description Im afraid, _level1 is what it says it is, its a level within flash. You will need to point at movie.

So in short, you load your movie into _level1 ok, good, but flash needs to point at something to tell it to play.

By stating _level1.play() is like saying _level0.play() or _level123654.play() same result as you are telling the playhead to, well play.

What you need to be doing is _level1.themovieIveJustLoaded.play()
