Let's Go! - Actions
March 8, 2000
Actions are what make Flash interactive.
Actions make Flash fun to work with. Actions are what make Flash
a serious development tool. So let's get some actions!
Double click on the stop button on the stage. This opens the Instance
Properties dialogue.
In the actions tab, click on the plus sign to get a list of actions.
Click on stop. This will tell Flash to stop the main movie, (remember
that our friend the penguin is a movie clip inside a movie), when you
click the stop button.
Apply the same procedure to the start button, only with the start
action. On the File Menu select Control | Enable Buttons.
Test the movie.
Pretty cool, huh? Pleased with yourself, I bet. But there's something
wrong. Trouble a-brewin' in Penguinland. His scarf still whips behind
him from the wind drag even when he's at a dead stop. I don't think
that's what we want.
