Re: FLASH: bring to front ...

[Steve Leone]

I think I am following you...


1. you need to put one version of the ball in a 2 frame movie clip, first frame

being empty with a "stop" action in it, the second frmae having the ball and

another "stop" action in it...

2. Use this movie clip to create three separate balls on 3 separate layers with

3 different instance names

3. Then, in the first frame of the movie have an action that makes "ball 1"

jump to frame 2.

4. On click of the space bar, have an action that makes "ball 1" jump back to

frame 1 and has the other ball jump to frame two.


Hope this helps
