how do the colours chage!? do you clikc seperate button on the side.. that As is slightly different to what your using i think..

i foget what it is, but i'm sure someone will help u in a min..

alos, most dress ups dont do well so i suggest you dont bother with a dress up and try a platformer, point and click adv or a mvoie lol

If you have all the colors in one movieclip, aon the outside( the mc that hold all the cortors) add on(release){ _root.nextFrame();} this makes the mc go to the next frame.

if you have drag and drog on the same mvoei clip your putting a gotoframe As wont that mess up the code?!

if you have.. like.. pressing Space to goto next frame and keep the drag& drop then that should be better..

Okay Im getting the same problem...basically...the item I want to change color I made into a movie clip. On the second frame of that movie clip...I added another color. I typed in the "add on(release){ _root.nextFrame();} " command...but when I went to test the movie..,the movie clip continued to play without stopping...meaning the two colors alternated back and forth...so then I went back into the movie clip, went into the frame the first color was located in, and placed "stop" as a command...then on the button *Also located in the movie clip so that when I move the object the color change button comes with it* the button I add the command "on(release){
gotoAndStop(2)}" I test the movie...the movie clip has halted but when I click the button, it does nothing...Now can ya guys figure out what Im doin wrong? : (

add thesze actions to the frmae you want it to stop on stop(); then add the actions I gave you before. Change this though. on(release){nextFrame();} This will make it go to the next frame. On frame 2 add these actions on(release){prevFrame();} YThis makes it go back. shoukld work.

Okay...still not working...I may have to do with me putting in the "add on(release){ _root.nextFrame();} " Command you gave me earlier. Does this command go in the movie clips actions for the container of all the colors? Because I already have the "drag" action located in that place. Tell me as if Im a retard where that command is supposed to go :P

Oh! Also the button is inside the movie clip! (Incase I havent mentioned it) As well as text...but theyre on diffrent layers inside the movie clip...Need help...so bad...so hungry..gah...

I think that's the problem. In the final the movieclip is one object... i fink. Try taking it out of the movieclip and try.

Okay...but how do I make the button correspond with the movie clip now? If its not in the same thing?

[CoolDrMoney]

At this point it would be just easier to give you guys the fucking flash! LOL...but I cant...anyway... Where do I place all the commands? What the hell am I doing wrong!?!?
What goes where...any help would be appreciated cause Ive been trying all kinds of things...none of em working :(
