ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS4] GotoAndPlay Button Not Working?
Apr 10, 2010
my timeline I have animated and placed all the images and info as well as 'stop();' and 'gotoAndPlay();' actions here and there, they are mainly to constrain part of the timeline so when the user clicks on a button he's taken past those constraints further on the timeline to another page with information. Problem is, I have four buttons, the first one has a on (release) { gotoAndPlay(107); } on it and frame 107 is past my first stop(); action and is working fine. The second one with the same properties and the same action just a different frame, doesn't work at all! All the buttons have instance names. I can't understand what's wrong. All I have are some stop();, gotoAndPlay();, gotoAndStop(); actions! Do they affect the button behaviors? It's really annoying me and giving me headaches... What am i doing wrong here?

On the same frame, I have two buttons - one with alpha transparency above an image, and one regular one. Both have the " on (release) { gotoAndPlay (2) ; }" code. The transparent one doesn't work, but the other one does.

I've got a simple button that when clicked needs to go to a particular frame and stop when it hits the stop(); however when I test it I get a type error #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at PostCard_fla::MainTimeline/frame25()
I need to be able to tell it what frames to go to manually so the user can jump around the time line using short animated transitions between pages (set up like a web page) in AC2.0 this was easy, but its different in AC3 and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
This is my code:
stop();
btn_flip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay(28);
};

I have a movieclip with labels "normal" and "mouseover" . I am using the following code :
var thisButton:MovieClip = this.getChildByName(e.currentTarget.name) as MovieClip;
thisButton.gotoAndPlay("mouseOver");
On debugging "thisButton" does goto mouseover and the frame changes. But visually there is no change and the animation is not played.

I'm trying to gotoAndPlay using AS3 in a certain frame inside a symbol, my target frame is inside another symbol which is "Carrera" (class name). Both symbols where placed on the scene by dragging from the library.
I've tried with:
MovieClip(carrera).gotoAndPlay(1);
Error Output:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert carrera$ to flash.display.MovieClip.
at fondoUcreativa/frame500()
Also tried with:
carrera.gotoAndPlay(1);
Compiler Error:Symbol 'fondo Ucreativa', Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 500, Line 4 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through a reference with static type Class.

loaded = int(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100);
if (loaded>=100) {
gotoAndPlay(6);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
My gotoAndPlay is working like gotoAndStop(); It will redirect to the frame but not continue the play.
I have no Stop(); funtions on the frames to cause this.

I created a movie with several nested movie clips. within these movies are stop actions to prevent the clips from playing at the wrong time. I created the gotoAndPlay/stop functions to play these clips at certain points of the animation. Now at first these actions worked smoothly and exactly as i wanted, however after several test movies, some of the gotoandplay/stop functions stoped working. Has ne 1 ever ecounterd this problem is there a way repair these actions without recreating the whole movie? i tried rewritting the scripts and still does not work.

Basically the title is the question. I want to loop the root movieclip; in this case it plays from frame 1 through to frame 240, then I want to loop back to 97-240 infinitely afterwards... I tried adding to an actions frame on frame 240, "root.gotoAndPlay(97);" and got an error call to a possibly undefined method).What am I doing wrong?

I'm having an issue with my code where im trying to make a different movieclip play every 2 seconds on the start screen for a school project. Simply by changing the array access number however flash is giving me an error code and I've narrowed it down to (i believe anyways)something wrong with my " mcArray[i].gotoAndPlay(2); " because it works fine if i just put the name of the movieclip but not with the array.
The error code is:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.

I have a Flash Professional CS5 project with ActionScript 3. I have a movieclip object with several gotoAndPlay ActionScript commands inside of it. I also have other gotoAndPlay commands on the main stage, linked to interactive events.
When I run the project via Ctrl+Enter, it works perfectly, without any issues. However, once I compile it down to a .swf or an Air 3.0 file, it runs, but omits some or all of the gotoAndPlay commands, both the ones inside of and outside of the stage.

I have a main timline with MCs in it. when the MC gets to the last frame, there's an onEnterFrame event telling the main timline to go back to frame 129 (labled "b1") and play.
I got the MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("b1"); part added to my function to call the root. however, when I test the movie, it does everything correct except play. it goes to b1 and stops. here's my as3:
code: this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,goBack);
function goBack(e:Event):void {
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("b1");
}
why it won't play? I've tried using just the frame number and that won't help either. there's nothing else on the main timeline to stop the movie...

I just migrated to CS5.5, and I'm seeing some weird behavior with imported movie clips within Flash Builder. I've got an .fla with a MovieClip with an AS Linkage of 'Card'. I've exported the .fla as a .swc, and included it within an Actionscript Project in Flash Builder.
Previously, I would call the code:
for(var i:Number = 0; i < currentCards.length; i++) {
var currentClip:MovieClip = MovieClip(currentCards[i]);
MovieClip(currentCards[i]).gotoAndStop('unselected');
}
and everything worked completely fine. When I run this code within Flash Builder 4.5, after reexporting the .swc from Flash 5.5, I get the error:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label unselected not found in scene unselected
I thought there might be something funky going on with the scene assignments, so I changed the code to be:
MovieClip(currentCards[i]).gotoAndStop('unselected', 'Scene 1');
but then it couldn't find Scene 1. I finally changed the code to:
MovieClip(currentCards[i]).gotoAndStop(2);
and it worked fine. But why isn't it picking up my frame labels?

my gotoAndPlay does not seem to be working. On frame 1 I have this for testing purposes:
trace("frame 1")
and on frame 2 I have:
gotoAndPlay(2);
and I get "frame 1" traced out continually. It's going back to frame 1 for some reason.

I have a .fla file that consists of four images that appear, pause a few seconds, and disappear in sequence. Each image has an associated button that links to a different url. There are also four navigation buttons, should someone want to jump to a particular one of the images. My problem is, the navigation buttons use a gotoAndStop action to take the user to a specific frame. After one of those buttons is clicked, the buttons that link to the urls no longer work. They all work fine until a gotoAndStop action is called. The navigation buttons continue to work.

I'm a bit rusty in flash.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var mytween:Tween = new Tween(ball_mc,"_x",Strong.easeInOut,-320.10,47.90,5,true);
mytween.onMotionFinished = function() {
var mytween2:Tween = new Tween(ball_mc,"_x",Strong.easeInOut,47.90,-320.10,5,true);
} mytween2.onMotionFinished = function() {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
It does the first and second tween but doesn't do the gotoAndPlay function?

I'm trying to work on a flash project. Essentially, when I press a button it initiates a video symbol. Once that video symbol is loaded, there are 3 buttons to choose from. When I click one of the buttons, it should do a gotoAndPlay. Instead, what does happen is I click the first button:

is there anyway to have a button play frames 5-10 on a movie clip inside the current frame, as well as skipping to...lets say...frame 10 of the scene?
i want to create a site where buttons go to different pages, but those pages have animations in and out. so if someone is in one page, and clicks a button to go to another, that page plays the "out" animation while the other page plays the "in" animation.

It seems like no matter where I check, there isn't a clear answer to this particular issue.Rather than blabber on about the code, I think it is important for me to address that I may just not be setting up my document correctly. At present, I created several layers, some in folders, for a basic portfolio website. I have my problems with my main buttons, in my "Sections" folder, where each button is a distinctive layer so it can be animated when it is pressed.I have a button called 'architecture' that is pressed, but instead of just statically moving the frame to the desired content, I want to play 5-7 frames that I tweened for a small transition (sometimes opacity, sometimes sliding mask) that occurs right before the content. All my transitions and everything is just on this one main timeline.
Basically, I sort of want to have the best of both worlds, where I can goToAndPlay, but then stop it at the end of that segment, as to not run into my next frames of content.My first solution was to simply place a stop(); at the end of the transition, but then the menu just locks and stops. Of course this was on my top layer named 'actions.'I then tried applying each event listener to it's buttons' layers, but that resulted in the button simply not working.I segmented up the actions layer into keyframes, but then realized that it didn't call on the event listeners if I did that.

I Know how to make a button with gotoAndStop, and gotoAndplay. I understand timeline coding. And have started with classes and OOP, im ok at writing classes i guess.
But I have know idea how to make a menu that has basic things like instructions start ect basic things.. I have a library with a exported SWC, so i presume i need to grab my graphical assets from this, correct? or is there other ways?
