I've got a button on the main timeline that i only want to be visible on from frame 2 onwards. I know i could just place it on a new keyframe on frame 2 but then i can't get the AS on frame 1 to control it and i don't want to duplicate all my code. (Its static text, converted to a btn mc). why the following isn't working?

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.

I want to link a button in my main timeline to a label- frame in a movie clip. The movie clip is called "Adetail" and the label is "on01"... I type in the following script
[Code]...
I'm using AS3 on timeline. I can't make a movie clip on main timeline visible.
On timeline I have a frame label (parte7) where I have three movie clip buttons (level_1, level_2, level_3). Only level_1 is visible.
On parte8 I have a movie clip (play_1), which inside has a button (newLevel). When user completes play_1, button newLevel takes the user back to parte7 to continue with level_2, which should be visible and level_1 should be invisible.
PROBLEM When button newLevel is clicked it goes back to part7, but level_2 button isn't visible.
Here is my code
PARTE 7
stop();
level_2.visible=false;
level_3.visible=false;

View 2 RepliesI am trying to "gotoAndStop" on a frame in a nested timeline from the main timeline, but can't seem to figure out the correct way to write it with it's 'parents' etc... this is how I have tried which makes sense to me (have tried other ways too) but no success.
gotoAndStop(parent."framename");
So I have a frame labeled 'init' and a button called _exit. I want _exit on click to keep going back until it reaches 'init'
I'm guessing something like this but it doesn't work:
[AS]_exit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , function(e:Event):void
{
if(currentFrame!='init'){
gotoAndPlay(currentFrame-1)
}
});

How do you go to a frame in the main timeline?I tried stage.gotoAndStop(2); but that did not work.

I'm trying to go to the next frame in the main timeline from a class with no luck.
I have a movieclip called winner_mc that is created in the document class.
winner_mc is linked to the Winner class.
The Winner class creates a movieclip called nextlevel_mc which is linked to the Nextlevel class.
Then when I click on the nextlevel_mc movieclip I want to go to the next frame on the main timeline.
I tried this for the Nextlevel class:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class Nextlevel extends MovieClip {

I just added a motion tween on the main timeline only to realize it doesn't run. Only frame 1 is executed, including its AS3 code. No I could not locate any stop() command within the AS3 code.
View 5 RepliesI made an RPG, and I'm trying to make the movie itself go to the second/next frame. But whenever I try to do that, nothing happens at all. I tried _level0.gotoAndStop(2) and _root.gotoAndStop(2), both on a frame and on a movie clip.
It's suppose to initiate this function once a certain variable (_root.numbers) reaches 20, and I've tested if the variable does reach 20 by doing other things.
What would be the best way to move onto the next frame (frame 2), when an animation has finished playing on the first frame in the main timeline, with no user input? The animation is on the first frame in the form of a nested movie clip.
