Hi there!

I made my first little animation today. It contains my very very first exprience with Adobe Flash CS5 and ActionScript 3.
Please check it out and give me a few tips. Please focus on the shading i did. It's the part i have the most trouble with. Other than that i just kinda sketched it all up. Don't focus on the rest. Tho you can give me a bit of advice from everything.

Here it is!

The button works for some reason now.

But thanks anyway :)

Where did you place that code?
The cast should not be necessary.

What seems to be the problem?

scenes are well known to fuck things up
simple solution: do not use scenes, instead put the scenes content into an MC and use that MC instead

The code is in the instance zebutton frame in the maintimeline.
I have no idea what a MC is.

Made a instance called zebutton. It's supposed to go to the scene called First. But it doesn't seem to work.
Here's my script:

--

stop();

zebutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene);

function fl_ClickToGoToScene(event:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "First");
}

Managed to make a replay button with my very noobish AS3 scripting skills.
Kinda got the hang of it now, but still thank you for answering.

Use Swivel. It's somewhere around here, it usuallyworks. It's great because it's not just a screen recorder.

I have no idea what Swivel is, it's a game that allows easier movie creating or something?

Nevermind, just saw it's a convert progam.

So i made a basic animation, but the problem is it keeps looping. How to make a replay
button or something, is AS3 involved?
