Hour 6. Controlling Movie Clips

The primary element used by Flash animators and programmers alike is the movie clip. These little Flash movies inside your main Flash movie allow you to modularize your program, grouping elements and establishing levels of interactivity. Much of ActionScript is concerned with controlling movie clips.

In this hour, you will:

• Learn how to tell movie clips what to do

• Create an animation playback controller

• Find out what it means to target a movie clip

• See how to make a movie clip script

• Make a movie clip that plays backwards
