V-cam Trouble

[Dark-Heart]

I'm having some trouble with my v-cam. I read through the script (the big fat tutorial v-cam script) and it has this line:
this._visible = false;
Now, I know what that means, but what if I want to make a pause and play button to follow the v-cam without having to tween them on their layer? Or how do i make them the only thing that's visable in the v-cam mc? Pus, while I'm at it, what does the v mean anyways?

The 'V' stands for virtual, if I remember correctly.

So I'm not gonna get any help then?

I dont know, try giving them a similiar script to the v-cam like put them both in a movieclip then give to them except the invis part... i tried =)

Get rid of the _visible AS, and then get rid of the graphical stuff in the Vcam. Then put the thing you want following the Vcam inside the MC. Voila.

The best way to do it would be delete everything in the V-cam apart from the outer most box and add you buttons then make the whole thing visible.

Why the hell didn't I think of that? I don't really need the crosshairs, and I definately don't need the color box. Thank you for making me feel like a dumbass. I really apritiate it.

If you want the V Cam go in this and go to Backgrounds and Click the link V Cam.

Were you even reading through the thread?

Ok, I found this on page 5. WTF?! lol jk. but now that I have the original problem fixed, I have a new problem to present you with. the buttons don't work. I dunno what's wrong, cause I checked the script for anything that looked "disableing" but there wasn't anything. Help? *makes puppy dog eyes*

Whats the code on the buttons? perhaps you were trying to use "play();" when you should be using "_root.play();" ?

God damnit. Thank you for making me feel like a dumbass moreso than Kuoke did.
