Question

Does the play() function in Flash:

  1. move the playhead of the MovieClip to the next frame -- as soon as play() is called
  2. change the MovieClip's state to "playing" -- actually move MovieClip to next frame, when movie moves to next frame
Was it helpful?

Solution

In normal circumstances it would be option 2. However, it is possible to have the frame re-drawn immediately. There is a catch though, you can only do this within mouse move and timer interval handlers. In AS3 have a look at the MouseEvent.updateAfterEvent and the TimerEvent.updateAfterEvent methods. In AS 2 there is a global updateAfterEvent function you can call with the same restrictions.

OTHER TIPS

I think its 2. change the MovieClip's state to "playing"
