Simple steps initially will help to write more complicated action scripts. Let us see an example for Start ans Stop Action Scripting.

Video Tutorial:

The above video teaches you how to animate a ball by using a play button.

• Let us consider a football for the animation. Initially draw two lines on the stage between which a ball has to be animated.
• Now create a motion tween for a "football".
• Keyframes are included at regular intrevals.
• Create a new layer and add play button.
• Using the "selection tool" the football is moved to up and down positions.
• The frames are copied to alternate keyfames using "copy frames".
• Write the action script in the keyframe of the newly created layer to stop the animation. The script used is "stop();"
• To start the animation, right click on the button to write action scripting. The script would be "on(press) { play() }".
