Adding the Action Script

The Action script we'll use is Drag and Drop. And Set Property.   This is For the 'Light Layer' (Bottom Layer)
This is the reason why I had the Light Movie Clip have an 'Instance Name' =  light.

First in the Light Layer we need to add the 'Start Drag' action.
In Frame 1, right click and Select 'Properties'. In the Frame Properties theres a tab called 'Actions'.
Go to 'Actions' and add the Following:

• Set Property ("/light", Visibility) = true
• Start Drag ("/light", lockcenter)

In Frame 2 of  'Light Layer' right click and Select 'Properties'. In Actions add 'Go To and Play' with properties:

• Go to and Play (1)

Next.In Frame 5. We need to add 'Set Property' and a 'Stop Drag' Actions

• Set Property ("/light", Visibility) = false
• Stop Drag

If you want you can test the movie now.
