how to change button action into a movieclip button action

[cjrollo]

Can anyone help with this simple problem
How do I edit this button action

AS
on (release) {
if(_root.currMovie != "collectionsb"){
_root.currMovie = "collectionsb";
containerone_mc.loadMovie("collectionsb.swf");
}else{
if (containerone_mc._currentframe >= containerone_mc.midframe) {
containerone_mc.play();
}
AS

so I can put it onto a frame in a movieclip button which starts off like this

AS
stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(rewind == true){

prevFrame();

}

}

this.onRollOver = function(){

rewind = false;
play();

}

this.onRollOut = function(){

rewind = true;

}
AS

Thankyou to anyone who can help me

Thanks here is an example of the problem attached
so I need to replace this movieclip action on the first frame of the actionscript layer in MC Collections

AS
this.onRelease = function(){

getURL("http://www.kirupa.com","_blank");

}

AS

with this button action

AS
on (release) {
if(_root.currMovie != "collectionsb"){
_root.currMovie = "collectionsb";
containerone_mc.loadMovie("collectionsb.swf");
}else{
if (containerone_mc._currentframe >= containerone_mc.midframe) {
containerone_mc.play();
}
AS

Thanks

[marSoul]

can you describe more for what you want to do ?
still i didnt get what you want

[cjrollo]

I just need to edit the script which opens external file

collectionsb.swf

into a container called

containerone_mc

this is what I need to edit

on (release) {
if(_root.currMovie != "collectionsb"){
_root.currMovie = "collectionsb";
containerone_mc.loadMovie("collectionsb.swf");
}else{
if (containerone_mc._currentframe >= containerone_mc.midframe) {
containerone_mc.play();
}

so that it can be put onto a movieclip button at the moment it is written for a button not a movieclip and I don't know how exactly to change it
It starts

on (release) {

and I know I think for a moveiclip it should sart

this.onRelease = function(){

or something like that and I don't know how to change the rest

[marSoul]

You mean something like this :

Code: Select all

this.onRelease = function() {
    if (_root.currMovie != "collectionsb") {
        _root.currMovie = "collectionsb";
        containerone_mc.loadMovie("collectionsb.swf");
    }
    if (containerone_mc._currentframe>=containerone_mc.midframe) {
        containerone_mc.play();
    }
};

[cjrollo]

Yes I think something like that Thankyou the only problem is that the external file does not load in the container
There is a output syntax error telling me that the function name is expected on this line
this.onRelease = function{
Do you know what I should do next?
I could just give up and use normal buttons but I'd still like to learn how to do this properly Cheers

[marSoul]

maybe putting _root before containerone_mc solve the problem...
the problem is that i could not see this in action, and its hard to understand which part is not working properly
