I have a parent MC with all my content called GUI_MC, and on my timeline I have a Frame labelled "PAGE"
Within the GUI_MC I have a another MC for my navigation (NAV_MC)
In NAV_MC I have a button which I would like to gotoAndPlay the frame "Page" on the GUI_MC
Heres my button code:
on (release){
gotoAndPlay("PAGE");}
What do I need to add to make it goto the parent MC?.
I have invisible buttons on a movie clip that is loading swfs onto a parent movie clip. I hope I am current in the terminology. Are a parent and root the same? Is saying root absolute and parent relative? I'm digressing. So, this this._parent.gotoAndPlay("contact form"); is going to the keyframe named "contact form" and it will stop there. What I want to happen, is, I want the other invisible button named aboutmeMC2 to go back to the keyframe named "skip" so my contact form will no longer show up and it will load the external swf.

I'm pretty new to AS3 but I want to get my buttons to play the same movie then go to their button function. i.e., Picture button > play movie (same as all buttons) > picture frame.
This is the code on my buttons
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var currentButton:String;
[Code] .....
Then at the end of the movie I tried using a variable to link the button to its frame
ActionScript Code:
stop();
if (currentButton == name) {
content.gotoAndStop("music");
} else if (currentButton == name) {
content.gotoAndStop("book");
} else if (currentButton == name) {
content.gotoAndStop("stereo");
}
I know the scripts messed up but not sure I really get the variable thing as yet.
I need help with the 'If' statement I want it so when i click a button till the socre gets to 5 I want it to go to another frame.
View 8 Repliesi am doing a simple project in which i have 2 frames in the main time line and a movieclip in the first frame and a button.i have something else in the second frame.when i click the button the movieclip should start after it ends the timeline should move to second frame and stop.
View 7 RepliesWhat im trying to do is play a movie clip between frames. So say we have two menus, when you are on menu 1 and you click the button for menu 2, a short movie clip plays and then you stop on menu 2. I realise I can do this by putting the movie clip on the main scene timeline, but is there anyway i can put it on the button? I think the action script would be something along the lines of "On release play MovieClip and goto frame X" As i said i want the movie to play as an almost filmic transition between menus, with a fade up and then out (Have got that bit sussed using the alpha controls)
View 3 RepliesI'm new to Flash and am looking to use the following tutorial to create an advanced button. I know it is probably a very simple fix, I just cannot figure it out. [URL] In the tutorial the rollover and onrelease has the following script this.onRollOut = function(){ rewind = true;} this.onRelease = function(){getURL [URL]); } I have tried to change the on.Release command to go to and play another frame in to movie instead of opening a new url. But I'm not getting it to work correctly.

View 5 Repliesat first, I thought I could manage this myself searching the forums about "preloader" but none of the solutions seem to work. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm using the FLVPlayer with an external file. What am I looking for?
1. Well, the preload code for frame 1 that makes sure the external F4V (movie.f4v in the same dir) is loaded 100% before it jumps to frame 2 where the movie should start playing...
2. If possible, a progress bar.
What is the script used to go to previous frame viewed as opposed to (see below) previous frame on timeline?

View 1 RepliesI'm making a game in which you have to pick up a key first with your character and then go to the door. When you hit the door, you should go to the next frame. Without the key, you can't pass the door. You should pick up the key with hitTestObject and go to the next frame with hitTestObject too.Here is my code:
var gotKey:Boolean = false;

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to goto a frame in a swf file from a external html link?
I have set up a website with a flash navigation in a top frame (top.htm) and a html page in the lower main frame.
click on button1 in a Flash movie A to open a new web page (gallery.html) and for the new page (with flash movie "gallery.swf") to gotoAndStop on a certain frame.
So, when Flash movie A, has 3 buttons. I can get the gallery.swf to stop on a certain frame depending on which button was pressed in Flash movieA.
I was thinking it would have to do with adding variables... but, wasn't sure how to get the two movies to talk to eachother, when they are in different pages.
I have a button on the main stage, and a movieclip "qccontent". When the user presses the button, I am trying to check if the MC is on a specific frame label. The MC starts on a stopped frame labeled "closed". Right now, each time the button is pressed, it currently goes and plays the label "closemenohit". It is not reading the first part. Am I doing something wrong?
