Question

way to Completely 'Reset' a MovieClip

Hello all,

 

I've got a situation where I have multipe MC's on the same frame... each is animated and doing something different.  As the user interacts with them, I'd like a way (when cued) to reset the MC back to it's initial state - not gotoAndStop("MC frame 1"); - but actually set it like it's running for the first time.  

 

Is there a command to resetMovieClip?  I need this reset not to affect the other MC's that are running simultaneously.

 

Thanks in advance for taking a look!

 

Best,

    Hi.

     

    What exactly do you need to be reset other than the current frame?

     

     

    Regards,

    Several things including some timers, counters, etc. These are still firing when you jump back to the first frame of the MC. I'm looking for an easier way to 'reset' the MC and was hoping there's a command that accomplishes that.

    If the movie clips have code to take care of those things when they are removed from the stage, an easy solution would be to remove the current one, and add a new one. That would assume that they are symbols in the library, and you can do addChild(new Thingy() as MovieClip) as the way you add them to the scene.
