How'll i make the button in MC2 to take MC1 to lets say frame#10.. ?
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?

Is it possible to command a timeline or MovieClip from an external swf? Main.swf calls in External.swf - How would I control a movie clip in main.swf from External.swf?
View 0 RepliesI'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:

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.
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?
View 7 RepliesFor some reason i'm having problems swapping scenes in my flash movie. At first i put the action in a "actions" named layer and a link to a button. So basicly when scene1 loads the frame 1 action is "stop ();". The viewer clicks on button1 which has a code of;

I made a script for the file that i am working with that hasbuttons located within 2 movieclips. I want that button to load andimage into a UILoader (problemLoader_mc) that I placed on the stageon the main timeline (the timeline that contains WeekBar_mc). Theproblem is that I don't know how to get to the root of the file tostart a new directory to tell my function to load the image i want.I have tried multiple approaches including:
MovieClip(root).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
MovieClip(parent).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
root.problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]

is there a function or a method to call every button in a MC or root?
View 3 RepliesHow do you go abouts on making a game menu???
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?
Basically i have two SWFs on my page, one of them has a button which i want to affect the SWF to the right of the page. So when you click the button, it simply goes to and plays from a frame in the second swf!
View 7 RepliesI have in root, two MCs1. MC is my content that a horiztional pan of multi MCs within the "content MC" 2. I have a MC that should function as a button each button linking to example "b3" for which b3 is on _root within "content MC" panel b3.PS. If I simply label the instance of the MC button "b3" this will play _root "content MC to that panel" However, I lose my animation on the button MCBelow is my _root code for (content MC)
Code:
var currentPosition:Number = contentHold.content1._x;
var startFlag:Boolean = false;

I want to make a MovieClip called "menuText" go to and stop at frame 2 on the click of a button thats in another MC.
This "menuText" MC is on the _root, but i know you cant use "_root" anymore with AS3, although i think you can use "root".
This is what i have:
ActionScript Code:
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickNextSlide);
function onClickNextSlide(event:MouseEvent):void{
root.menuText.gotoAndStop("2");
}
Whats wrong with that code? The button is called "home" by the way.
this is so complicated i don't think i'll ever be able to do it a button is clicked to start the game which is all playing in the second frame of main timeline according to the maths for as3 but i need to be able to have the same button in the same frame when clicked gotoandplay an mc which exists in frame 3

View 2 RepliesI have a button and a movie clip animation, when the button is pressed the animation should run. But it doesnt. I can make it all work if I place a second frame on my main stage and make the button gotoandplay that frame which has the animation on it. But the problem arises when the animation is done it just loops over and over. So I placed a gotandstop AS on the last frame. This only makes it so that if you want to click on the button a second time (to see the animation) you have to click twice

I got a simple block of code that stops the main timeline on a certain frame, but so far I've been unable to form a code that would gotoAndPlay when mouse click happens on a button I made, and mind you I'm doing this in a document class.

View 6 RepliesI am creating a flash site, and inside my frame label for lets say "pageA" the movie clip begins In pageA, fades up shows the content and stops(); alowing for the page content to be read.
After reading, the viewer clicks on the button inside the nav bar, to take them to say "pageB" i now want "Page A" to fade out and then root to "pageB
my thinking is that i insert a stop on the time line of the movieclip, then when the button is pressed it plays, lets say, the remaining 10 frames in the clip (the fade out), and then roots to pageB.
i just need a simple actionscript to do that, if there is an easier way, any one who could point that out and end my misery is a god/godess respectfully!
