Forums → Programming Forum → Play/Pause Button

If people don't understand my question. I just need one button that when clicked it plays a song and turns into a pause button, then when the pause button is clicked it stops the song and turns into a play button.

Perhaps when clicked the button both becomes invisible and the other button becomes visible as well as performing the required function?
Hope this helps.

Yes that is a good idea, but the main problem is, I do not know what the code would be for the pause button.

On movieclip(play button):
on(release){
gotoAndStop(2);
}
(This goes to the second frame which has the music on it)

Would it just be a simple:
on(release){
gotoAndStop(1);
}

Let me try it out :/

Nope, I just remembered why that doesn't work, I need the pause button to tell the play button to go back to frame one. I tried doing this:

on(release){
_root.playbutton(gotoAndStop(2)){
}
}

How good does your game have to be before published?

Because i made a game and its a beginner not sure if it'll be published

It has to be pretty awesome and original before they even consider it. I would recommend you go to kongregate (they take anything) and put it there and see what people rate is as, and what comments you get. If your in the 4-5 range they you can consider AG.

I figured it out from a guide. I learned Action Script 2.0 by myself and guides mainly so I never really learn the technicality of the codes that I write(I just use memorization).

I did learn from making this button(I was never sure on how the _root.'s worked I just knew when I had to use them). Your post helped me a bit to so thank you ^_^.

Yay that is the best idea ever. I agree

Yeah Lennon the "localization" of code on an object can be a pain. But you learn over time. I've personally haven't touched flash in a year so I forgot.

Thank you This can be locked or w.e. armorgames does hahaha. :3
