member("Message Line").text = "Click here to play the movie."
_movie.updatestage()
else
member("Message Line").text = ""
end if
_movie.go(_movie.frame)
end
// JavaScript syntax
function exitFrame() {
var hT = sprite(5).hitTest(_mouse.mouseLoc);
if (hT = "button") {
member("Message Line").text = "Click here to play the movie.";
_movie.updatestage();
} else {
member("Message Line").text = "";
}
_movie.go(_movie.frame)
