Im pretty sure you can just put this into one button-

on (release) {
_root._quality = "low"
}
on (release) {
_root._quality = "medium"
}
on (release) {
_root._quality = "high"
}

and save using 3 buttons.
o_o

i think.


That wouldn't work, but since everyones going nuts over one button for all three, I'll tell you how to make one...

Make 3 buttons, all look the same EXCEPT on says Low, one says Medium, one says High. Convert each one to a buttons [F8]

Now put those 3 buttons into a movieclip. on the first frame put the low button, on the second frame put the medium button EXACTLY where the low button is on the frame before [its best just to make the x & y positions 0 on all frames.] Now put the high button exactly where the medium and low buttons are on the other two frames.

on the first frame put a stop() code on it. on the low button put this code.
on(release){
_root._quality = "low"
_this._parent.gotoAndStop(2)
}


on the medium button put this code.

on(release){
_root._quality = "medium"
_this._parent.gotoAndStop(3)
}


on the high button put this code

on(release){
_root._quality = "high"
_this._parent.gotoAndStop(1)
}



It changes the quality and switchs the frame position on the movielip to change what happens when you hit the button each time. place the movieclip wherever you want your quality control button to be.


NOTE: I have not tested this code out but it should work.

Actually its just _parent. but I put the _this. there because I like to be specific so I KNOW the code is going where I want it to.

I hope so, but its looking like its going to be a close call for me. I had to go back and redo a section of my animation because it didn't make sense story wise. Hopefully I can get a couple good days worth of animating in and if I do it should be fine.

I don't know, 700 frames left. but thats just for the 3 minutes, even if I have 3 minutes doesn't mean I am done =| oyes, the intro is 200 frames. meaning I need 900 frames. + Music + menu + preloader + AS for scenes, so yea its a very close call =3 Ithink

I might have interpretted you incorrectly, but look:

Animation length should be no less then 3 minutes. That's three minutes of actual animation, not including intros.
