a character i did for school (3rd year Fall semester) in 3Dmax.. u can see its from one of my older concepts. her hips is a bit wide now that i look at it. but it was good on the sketch =;( *sob i made a little flash utility thing from scratch + tutorials and did a loading scene + 2 utility buttons hehehe see if it works for you guys
the thing is actually consisted of individual images instead of a vid.. so you just tell it to gotoAndStop whatever frame depending on your mouse... then u disable the follow action when _x gets beyond left side and right side cut off.
say for _x ... i want the mouse to move from 200 to 400, which would translate to 0% - 100% of the frames the images are at.... frame 1 - 40? say for example.. so how do u use a math equation to get 200 - 400 the same as 1 - 40. then put that number in a gotoAndStop ( number here );
then put that number in a gotoAndStop ( number here );
