toggle image on click

[rhoymand]

I'm having trouble with something that I thought would be easy (isn't that how it always is?). when I click on an object I want it to change to another image and when I click on that image I want it to change back. I'm trying to achieve this by swapping between 2 animated sequences, but it's not working.

right now I have:
[events:32]
* user clicks with left button on [obj_active]
+ [obj_active] animation Stopped is playing
- [obj_active]: change animation sequence to Selected
* user clicks with left button on [obj_active]
+ [obj_active] animation Selected is playing
- [obj_active]: change animation sequence to Stopped
[/events]
I've tried swapping positions with another object outside the frame with success, but its too cluttered and having 2 objects represent one adds some problems to another feature I'm trying to implement.

[events]
*User clicks with left button on [obj_active]
-[obj_active]: Toggle internal flag 1

*[obj_active]: internal flag 1 is on
-[obj_active]: Change animation sequence to Selected

*[obj_active]: internal flag 1 is off
-[obj_active]: Change animation sequence to Stopped
[/events]
Does that do what you want?

Let me guess, it won't go to another animation sequence, it just stays on the same one... be sure 'loop' is set on both of the animations.

the internal flags method works. thanks!

I set loops on both sequences, but it still didn't work. I think the problem came from the extra condition of "active object animation sequence is playing".

Usually, if I have something like that, where the same action triggers two events, it just seems as if the last event occurred. Like, if I have something that says:

IF Space is pressed
THEN Set animation to Walking

And, I have another that says:

IF Space is pressed
THEN Set animation to Stopped

It'll just go to the Stopped animation. ...Actually, I don't know if they fixed this (if it was a problem) in MMF2. I don't know if I've tried doing this in MMF2 yet, just MMF 1.5.
