Hi, is it possible to trigger an Action directly from within Flash using ActionScript, or do I need to trigger an animation that triggers the Action via an ActionAnimator?

If it is possible to trigger the Action directly, can I have an example of the ActionScript please?

Thanks

hrmmm, very good question... I'm afraid the answer is no though, actions cannot be triggered (via actionscript or javascript), rather they are 'called'. However, using an interactor is a little more elegant than creating an action animator. For example, in your flash move you might have a mouse event which does an fscommand:

on (press) {
fscommand("PostMessage", "Message=doSomething");
}

then in your mtx you would handle that event:

<MTSInteractor>
  <MTSHandle Event="doSomething" Action="myAction"/>
</MTSInsteractor>

make sense?

HTH,

Makes perfect sense, I'll modify my code accordingly... much more elegant solution!

Thanks

Hi! I have a question: how to send commands to flash movie, embed in viewpoint scene? Or how to start this movie from definite frame or segment? Is it possible?
I`ll very grateful if you answer.
