Hey,
If I understand what you want to do, you just have to replace the function goToTheNextFrame by :

private function goToTheNextFrame(event : MouseEvent)
{
	if (_arrow2.currentLabel == "left3")
	{
		_arrow2.gotoAndStop("left1");
	}
	else
	{
		_arrow2.nextFrame();
	}
}


Good Luck,
Jcdc.

Thanks ! Nice tutorial :)
Could you add a case which does this ? :
When you click on the arrow, it displays the 3 colors for one arrow direction ( with only 1 click ) but it doesn't displays the colors for the other direction.

I hope you understand what i mean ^^

Thanks for the good work :)

First part of a tutorial about haXe/swfmill written by jcdc in french. The next part is a game which introduces the same points.

I'll quickly translate it in english, as soon as possible.

Hi,
ok try to give different depths :)
then you can use this.gotoAndStop(frame_num) and this.gotoAndPlay(frame_num) in your class



<clip id="Human"> 
   <frame name="walk_east_1"> 
    <place id="walking_east_1" depth="1"/> 
   </frame> 
   <frame name="walk_east_2"> 
    <place id="walking_east_2" depth="2"/> 
   </frame> 
   <frame name="walk_east_3"> 
    <place id="walking_east_3" depth="3"/> 
   <stop/> 
   </frame>  
   <frame name="walk_west_1"> 
    <place id="walking_west_1" depth="4"/> 
   </frame> 
   <frame name="walk_west_2"> 
    <place id="walking_west_2" depth="5"/> 
   </frame> 
   <frame name="walk_west_3"> 
    <place id="walking_west_3" depth="6"/> 
   <stop/> 
   </frame> 
  </clip>




class Human extends MovieClip
{
        public function new()
        {
               super();
               this.gotoAndStop(3); 
               //...
        }
}

I will make a tutorial today about keyboard detection with associated animation ;) .

Hi, i'm trying to create a basic character animation ( with multiple animations ) in HaXe/Flash with SWFMILL
Here is my SWFMILL file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<movie version="9">
 <clip id="walking_east_1" import="walking_east_1.png"/>
 <clip id="walking_east_2" import="walking_east_2.png"/>
 <clip id="walking_east_3" import="walking_east_3.png"/>

 <clip id="walking_west_1" import="walking_west_1.png"/>
 <clip id="walking_west_2" import="walking_west_2.png"/>
 <clip id="walking_west_3" import="walking_west_3.png"/>

 <library>
  <clip id="Human">
   <frame name="walk_east_1">
    <place id="walking_east_1" depth="1"/>
   </frame>
   <frame name="walk_east_2">
    <place id="walking_east_2" depth="1"/>
   </frame>
   <frame name="walk_east_3">
    <place id="walking_east_3" depth="1"/>
   <stop/>
   </frame>

   <frame name="walk_west_1">
    <place id="walking_west_1" depth="1"/>
   </frame>
   <frame name="walk_west_2">
    <place id="walking_west_2" depth="1"/>
   </frame>
   <frame name="walk_west_3">
    <place id="walking_west_3" depth="1"/>
   <stop/>
   </frame>
  </clip>
 </library>
</movie>


When i use it in my haxe code, it displays the "Human" but it plays all the animations. So how to say "Display only frame 1 to 3" ? I tried "gotoAndPlay" but ot also plays all the animations.

Thanks :)

( It can be a good "start" game tutorial, implementing keyboard detection and display associated animations ^^)
