I've made a flash animated button that has 12 frames. The forward animation lights up the button, and the backward animation (reversed) dims the button down.
Now, I've run into a bit of a problem. When I input the "forward.swf" and "backward.swf" animations, and start setting behaviours for them - here's what I do:
onLoad --> Go to Frame 1 (forward.swf)
onMouseOver --> Play (forward.swf)
onMouseOut --> Play (backward.swf)
But the problem here is that the backward.swf and forward.swf aren't overlaying each other, they're laid out in 2 separates places. How do you overlay the animation so that once you onMouseOver, it plays the forward, and when you onMouseOut, it plays the backward overlaying the original forward animation? I tried using layers, but it was way too much work - there has to be an easier way. Obviously I would need the forward to overlay the backward until the onMouseOut action.
TIA!
