From the main time line after clicking one button named "btn_mc" I go to a different scene named "About us" now if i want to come back to the main time by clicking another button named "Back to Main Menu" how can I write the code.
To enter into the "About us" scene I wrote this code to the button "btn_mc" which is in the main time line is something like this.
Code:
btn_mc.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndPlay ("About us",1);
}
why the timeline inside these movie clips and the timeline on the main scene have to correspond to work. [URL]

I can get by and make nice flash sites, but I'm still learning what goes where and am still borrowing code to get by.I've laid the problem out in some detail as I am sure that will save a lot of questions later on, but feel free to ask if you want more info.Problem is as follows: I've built a two scene flash site using open source code for the preloader scene:[code]The main scrolling menu scene works great when it's a one scene movie and the preloader code works fine with a load of other sites I've built, but when I put them together on this site (the code for the scrolling menu precludes the addition of a preloader directly into that scene so separate scenes are a necessity) everything goes to pot.When testing the site (both as a standalone SWF file and when embedded in an HTML file) the preloader works fine and the main scene appears correctly, but when you click on any button to move back or forth along the menu/timeline it jumps and jerks along very roughly and stops short of its designated point.
This causes the whole scene to fail as the designated timeframe for each button contains a movie instance that won't function until the specific timeframe is reached.It's odd behavior and I'm stumped as both chunks of code work fine separately.I've even tried a much simpler preloader that doesn't display percentage or anything, it just cycles between frame one and two until the movie loads and then plays it (just like this one, but with no bells or whistles).Unfortunately my lack of actionscript knowledge prevents me from even finding a simple term to sum up the problem so I've failed to find any similar issues on any forums or Google.
I added a website preloader in a separate scene to the main frame of my website and scripted it to go to and Play the main scene or frame of the website when finished loading. I then put a command in the first frame of the main scene for the movie to stop (); at that point. The problem is that now the buttons on the main page don't respond to any behaviour commands to go to and stop at other frames in the main scene. I'm not sure if this is a conflict between the stop(); command in the main scene and the button behaviour command to go to and stop at another frame or an error with the way I'm identifying the scene and frame.
View 5 RepliesI am try to go from a main scene to a second scene in Flash. The code work just fine to take me there, but when the scene appears it seems that I lose focus with the scene and the actions that should runs doesn't until I click once on the screen. Now I am using a button to navigate from one scene to another. If I use a movieclip instead of a button then everything works just fine. In my second scene I am using the keyboard to control different things in the scene.

I simply want to assign a variable to the current frame of the main timeline (not movieclip timeline) I already know about _currentframe and it doesn't help in this case.

I have a file comprised of 1 scene and two movie clips. The clips are instanced into the Main Timeline and occupy Frames 1 and 2 respectively.MovieClip1 is an animation that has navigation buttons that appear at the end of the clip. I'm trying to get mouse click navigation to make Frame 2 on the Main Timeline active.
Here is what I'm trying but it is not working:
btExplore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ExploreClick);
function ExploreClick (evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
this takes the animation to Frame 2 of the Movie Clip Timeline not Frame 2 the Main Timeline.
I'm having some problem with the workflow of flash.I make web banners everyday att my work att it is important to me to have the banners easy structured so I can copy effects, tweens and symbols to a new banner. I have Flash CS3 pro.I always start by making a symbols. And then in the symbols own timeline I make the animation or effect.
The big problem I'm having is when I have the main (scene1) timeline with many frames, and then have symbols on that timeline, with it's own timeline with some frames. The frames in the symbol timeline is okey, but at the main timeline the frames is too short or too long so the animation of the symbol cuts of early or it plays more than one time (too many frames).
How do I calculate how long a symbols timeline should be so It maches the main timeline?What happens to me is that I always have to adjust the symbols timeline and the main timeline, and this I have to do many times.
so here's the function on main stage:

and here's the code that wants to call this function in a another movie clip. I've attached this clip dynamicaly to the main stage as well.

I have a main.fla which has 3 movieclips inside it. All 3 mc's have timelines that run 40 frames. The main.fla timeline has each mc instance on a frame. mc_1 is on frame 1 mc_2 is on frame 40 mc_3 is on frame 81 as the main timeline plays the clips each one fades to the other. I need to know how to target this scenerio after mc_3 plays I need to have a goToAndplay (20) set up so the animation inside mc_1 starts playing (frame 20) of mc_1.

I made a short movie at the beginning of my project and afterwards I made a symbol-movie clip with many motion tweens (at the end of the symbol animation I put stop(); ). Now I have a problem - how should I insert my symbol-movie clip after my first short movie? To one frame or to more ones? I have tried some ways but I have not found the solution - the symbol-movie clip is not ruuning in my main scene.

I've just recently made the leap from AS2 to AS3 and after several days of reading the CS4 help and searching posts here, I'm still at a loss how to get my first AS3 project off the ground.I'm working on an illustrated choose-your-own-path story with each step split into seperate swfs to speed up loading time.I've got a main file loading a scene swf using.[code]The loading works fine (although I've just found a post that suggests I should wait until the swf loads before adding it as a child), but how would I then get the buttons in the loaded swf to tell the main swf which swf to load next?I'm stumped firstly by that, and additionally by how I should then UNload the swfs. Is it not common practice to refer to objects by their '.name' in AS3? Should I be loading the swfs into an array?
View 1 RepliesI am working with an iMAC running 10.6.8.I have created a flash file with only the main scene, which has a List button and a Home button. The List button has 20 links as a scroll list, each link installs a movie clip from the library.The problem I am having is the List button works fine until I add the Home button, then the Home button works fine, but the List button only works on the frame that the action is on. Each button is on it's own layer, and runs the whole length of the show, which is 220 frames. I have a stop label at each place a movie clip is to play.
If I remove the Home button from the main scene and put it into each movie clip, how do I tell the movie clip to go to the main scene frame 1?
I`m new here but as I`m working on my showcase for the university I experience a bit of a flash issues because of being noob What i can`t find out is what script to use so i can make a "back" button in a movie clip to load a designated frame (let`s say frame 5) from the main scene. I`ve tried this:
