Making a simple mouse rollover video in Flash

[Zemog]

Well, when it comes to actionscript I'm not exactly bright.
So what I want to do is:
I've made a video in After Effects and imported it into Flash CS3.
Now what code would I need to put in Action script to make it play on mouse rollover?

You're in the wrong place buddy I haven't used flash in long time. We are help with fixing your computer ploblems not flash tutorials.

[Zemog]

Still though. Someone here probably knows. And for those of you who don't, just don't post in this thread. :v:

The guys over in programming will be able to help you more, i'll move the thread.

[Zemog]

Ah, thank you lad.

What type of object is it, a MovieClip?

[Zemog]

Well, hem, if you're thinking of "Convert to symbol"'s movie clip - no. However it is a movie clip. Raw footage imported from After Effects.

Sorry, thats all I can do I lost interest in as long ago so I don't remember much.

Learn the syntax though, you just don't want to copy code without knowing what it does.

Isn't it just something like

stop();
onEvent(mouseOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

That's AS2. Put the footage on frame 2.

Syntax error "onEvent(mouseOver) {"

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

You want just "on" not "onEvent".

Is your project actionscript 2 or 3, because it'd pretty help us much to know what language we're actually writing this in..

[Zemog]

As2.
I could do it in As3 if I wanted - if that's recommended of course.

[h2ooooooo]

It's always recommended to do everything in AS3. It's a lot quicker.
