ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Linking To Specific Frame On A Nested Movie?
May 18, 2011
Trying to create a link from an html page to the contact section of a flash website. I understand how to link to a specific frame by creating an anchor over the target frame, but it only works if its in a single movie. The problem is that the section I want to target is on a deeply nested movie which the main movie loads such as
Code:
loadMovieNum("images/topback.swf", 8);
Instead of the html code looking like this "index.html#contact" for a single movie what would a nested link code look like?

I'm working on a Flash navigation system.
Currently, when you click on "Recent Projects", you are brought to a frame containing the following actionscript:
attachMovie("recentProjectsBody_mc", "recentProjectsBody_mc", 1);
recentProjectsBody_mc._x = 60;
recentProjectsBody_mc._y = 195;
This loads a new movie clip of a simple slideshow which has 7 frames. You can click through these frames with left and right buttons.
I no longer need the left and right buttons. I need a group of 7 buttons sitting under the "Recent Projects" link which each link to a different frame of the recentProjectsBody_mc movie clip.
I assume I need to load this movie clip before I link to a frame within it. But then how do I link to a specific frame within that movie clip?

I am trying to animate this piece with frames.
Basically, I have adrop down menu, which contains about 20 buttons. Each button is set to _root.Keys_MC.gotoAndPlay("frame label"); a specific from within the Keys_MC which is on the main timeline.
The problem is, no matter which one I click, it always links me to the first frame of that movie clip.

I have been researching this for hours and cannot seem to find an answer anywhere. Right now I am linking one flash file or .swf file within my main flash site using a button.So in my main flash site, I connect to this .swf file by using...
on(release){
loadMovie ("MDsite2.swf", _level0);
}
This works perfect but the .swf file starts at the first frame. Is it possible to a jump to specific frame within that .swf file so it doesn't start on the first frame?

I have reviewed and applied this wonderfull explanation contained in the post thread response from Mr. Catbert303 "linking to specific frame number or label from an html page" about the javascript and actionscript code combination wich allows the swf movie to force-jump into specific framelabel or framenumber and it also works perfectly whenever i go from the link "back to swf" on my plain html page to the movie content page (also html). But i need my swf movie content page to start playing from cero whenever it is played from start and not begining always at the specifyed frame in the actionscript code:
if (frame != "") {
gotoAndPlay(frame);
}
I have tried everything within the "if" & "else" conditionals and i can't get the swf movie content page to start playing from frame 1 everytime it is called up, but instead it looks like it reads the actionscript code described above and always takes you to the specifyed framelabel, not playing it from the start. I have a hunch i'm missing something extra on my actionscript code wich must determine if the swf file is to jump to the specified frame or start playing from cero, because if i remove the above AS2 code from frame 1, it then starts playing from cero normally like it should but won't jump to the specifyed frame when also needed from the HTML page.

I'm having a problem in linking sub menu buttons to specific frames in that html page. You can follow the sample site to better understand. [URL] If you click on "Films" a submenu appears. I want all of these submenu buttons to link to [URL] but each go to a specific frame label in the .swf located within [URL]. For example:[URL]("equipment" frame label within .swf) or [URL]("tips and tricks" frame label within .swf)

The below function does not work probably due to the path being typed incorrectly. How can i fix it?
ActionScript Code:
function ChangeTheme(Thistheme)
{
for (i = 1; i <= 218; i++)
{
with (this["sector" + i])
[Code]...
Also worth mentioning: On each of those frames, i have defined a local variable to label the sector. the label's name will be the same as the movie clip that is visible on that frame, as described below:
Actions for Frame1 of WallNorth: fLabel = CementRoad_mc
actions for frame2 of WallNorth: fLabel = DirtRoad_mc
P.S. "Thistheme" is just a way of advancing the frame of "Cementroad" (to display the cement road as wet or dry or muddy or w/e)

Code:
on (press) {

I am building a small banner, which ideally will have a random string of text fade in (long enough to be read), then fade out...to play another random text.
Each of my texts have been built as movie clips... they fade in, stay up long enough to be read, then fade out. At the end of this, I need the movie to go back to frame 1 of the main timeline, as I am using the following script:
Code:
_root.onLoad = function() {
//generate a random number from 1 to 11
var nRandom = 1+Math.floor(Math.random()*12);
//tell timeline to goto and play the random number 'nRandom'
gotoAndPlay(nRandom);
};
Each of my text movie clips are on a different frame, so I need to call a new random _root frame to play from within the movie clips. So far, all that is happening is whichever movie is chosen to play, goes in a loop.

I am making a website based in flash actionscript 3.0 i have a button nested in its own movie clip, because I have the button expanding to be able to read it i have figured out the only way to do this is by creating it as a movie clipa nd inside the movie clip creating it as a button. I added an event listener to the blog button by saying[code]...
i have named the symbol blog and have name the frame of where the blog page is going to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where i run into trouble the output window in Flash is saying "The blog button was clicked" just like i want it to. no errors are accouring why than is the playhead not going to frame "blogframe"? if the button is working when i click it the code is right i belive the problem here is it does not want the playhead to go to the frame i want it to. So i gues my question is, how can i make a button withing a movie clip interact with the main timeline?

A lovely client of mine just decided after we had completed his flash presentation that he would love to be break the presentation into smaller chunks so we can link to the different parts of the presentation directly even thought it's one movie. Is this possible? I have a holder movie that loads each section in a movieclip when the user clicks on a link in the navigation. I thought I would follow this technique:

I want to "Test Movie" to get a feel for what my animation looks like as a SWF file but I want to test it from a specific frame. My reason for this is that normally if I go to Test movie, I have to watch my entire animation from the start when really, I might want to test it only to see if a certain part works. And I do realize there is the "play" option in the timeline using Enter but that doesn't have the same effect as Test movie.
Is there any way of testing a movie from a specific frame?

i'm trying to do a simple thing: a site where the background fades in and out between areas... ...and i'm trying it for a week...and still have no idea on whow to do it. i've seen many and many tutorials but there's no information regarding to loading movies in a specific frame!(like "call"-calling a specific action script frame?) here's what i have: a main movie (1frame) with 5 layers: actions, menu, bgone, bgtwo and border. and my problem is making the interaction between those areas, since i can't make the menu load the movies in the specific frames,to the specific layers... perhaps i'm just trying to find the wrong answers, or is is impossible?

I'm trying to build a full flash site. I have movieA (main movie) that loads the rest of the movies (movieB, movieC, movieD...). MovieA is the menu. When I want to "come back" from this movies to the main movie, I need to move the header to a specific frame of movieA, diferent depending on the movie I have previously loaded:
movieA: loadmovie (movieB, movieC, movieD...)
from movieB: loadmovie movie A (frame2)
from movieC: loadmovie movie A (frame3)
from movieD: loadmovie movie A (frame4)
Is it possible or when you load a movie you can only start playing in frame 1?

I was able to come up with a menu bar to display on my non-flash website, and left linking to absolute last because I assumed it would be the "easy" part.What I have is a menu bar where each item (about, home etc) is a mc, and some of those mcs have animated sub menus within them (mcs as well).My problem is that when any item in a sub menu is clicked, instead of redirecting to their own link, flash it redirects to the link of the mc that contains the submenu.I'm attaching a link to the file so you guys can understand what I'm talking about.The items with submenus are "services" and "markets".

I have a swf movie that loads to my main scene using a preload. I have a button found on the main scene. When that button is pressed I would like to use the GotoAndPlay command to play a specific frame in that movie. How do I do this. my swf is called inter_mc.swf. I created a function for the button but somehow Im thinking I need to designate the swf in the goto code. This isn't working but it is what I have so far.
