Download the FLA file

The main timeline has two frames. Frame 1 contains a 'Start' button, and frame two contains the real action. Here's the code for frame 1:


stop();

startButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myGotoNextFrameFunction);

function myGotoNextFrameFunction(myMouseEvent:MouseEvent)
{
	nextFrame();
}

Below is the code for frame 2.


stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, myMouseMoveFunction);

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myMouseClickFunction);

// The mouse wheel functionality may not work on the Mac.
// For mouse wheel prompt to appear, click on the stage first.  Adding a 'start' button
// would achieve this.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, myMouseWheelFunction);

function myMouseMoveFunction(myMouseEvent:MouseEvent):void
{
	var myMove_mc:myMove = new myMove();
	addChild(myMove_mc);
	myMove_mc.x = 100;
	myMove_mc.y = 90;	
}

function myMouseClickFunction(myMouseEvent:MouseEvent):void
{	
// add library movie clip myClick to the stage, and name the new instance myClick_mc.
// for this to work, note that we had to check the box for 'Export for ActionScript'
   var myClick_mc:myClick = new myClick();
   addChild(myClick_mc);
   myClick_mc.x = 100;
   myClick_mc.y = 110;
}

function myMouseWheelFunction(myMouseEvent:MouseEvent):void
{
	var myWheel_mc:myWheel = new myWheel();
	addChild(myWheel_mc);
	myWheel_mc.x = 100;
	myWheel_mc.y = 130;	
}

stop();
