Simple Movie Controls

This is StartStop.mov, a movie consisting of two very simple wired sprite controls--one that starts the movie and another that stops it. You can create these kinds of controls using any wired sprite authoring tool--LiveStage, Flash, GoLive, Electrifier, and so on.

To add these controls to an existing movie, do this:

  1. Open StartStop.mov, Select All, Copy
  2. Open another movie, Select All, Add Scaled
  3. Save As a new movie (self-contained)
You can display this new movie with CONTROLLER="False" and use the wired sprite controls to start and stop it. Here's an example of a movie that uses these simple controls:
