I'm trying to get to a situation in which only if both 2 things are correct then do this and if only one of them is correct, do different thing. I have a flash video player. I want to tell a button that if on press the the video is in normal screen mode then gotoAndStop(2). But if the video is in full screen and the frame on root is frame 1 then gotoAndStop 2. I tried this but there is something missing:

I am trying to make a light comparison chart where the lights can be turned on inividually by the user and one can be compared to another depending on which of the 6 lights you want to view.So far i have managed to make this work with 5 lights over 33 layers and diffferent buttons and different handlers for each of the buttons on each layer but as soon as the 4 and 5 light come into play everything slows down struggles and sometimes gives up.Is there a simple way of doing this which i am unaware of.I am currently using the gotoandstop comand to go to a specific frame based on the button press.

So if you press and hold a button, it does the function once, then waits 0.5 of a second or so then repeats the action quickly. How do I remove the 0.5 of a second wait?

I'm loading in 5 jpegs from an external file using "loadMovie" and i have 5 corresponding buttons (1-5) to load them with.
I want to change the jpeg the button loads in depending whether a separate navigation button has been pressed -
i.e.
navigation buttons:
-motorbike pics
-car pics
-lorry pics
If a user clicked on "car pics" then the loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "car1.jpg", "car2.jpg" and so on...
similarly if the user clicked on "lorry pics", the same loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "lorry1.jpg" and "lorry2.jpg"

I know you can set a gotoAndStop on a particular frame after a time delay but what about a Mouse Movement Delay. Meaning if the mouse isn't moved for 30 seconds, the movie will gotoAndStop on a final frame.

I want to be able to stop a function from running by the press of a button. Is there such an inbuilt function? Like "stop function(myFunction);" or something..?

I have a movieclip "squareA" -- inside of squareA, on frame 2 is a movieclip called "squareB". I tried the following code:
Actionscript Code:
squareA.x = 10squareA.y = 10squareA.gotoAndStop(2)squareA.squareB.x = 10squareA.squareB.y = 10
But I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at problem_fla::MainTimeline/problem_fla::frame1()
If I put SquareB in frame 1 of SquareA -- it works.

I've tried to reference everything inside the eventhandler, and I can't seem to just get the dang timeline to move a frame.
Long story short, I'm trying to place a preloader inside an XML loader. That seems to complicating things. The whole thing works except the ability to gotoandstop next frame once loaded.
Here's the script. why my logic could possibly be failing? I have no idea where to begin.
ActionScript Code:
// IMPORT CLASSES
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLLoader;

I am trying to make a game, I have worked out all the movement, shooting, updating stats techniques, but I have a problem that is not so obvious to me. I need to go to new frame(stages' new frame) every time left mouse button is pressed.
How can I tell stage to do gotoAndStop(); function from a custom class?

I have a movie clip on the stage and have given it the instance name "team1". inside this movie clip there are two states. at frame1 it says one thing, then at frame 10 has an image. team1 stops at frame 1 and what i want to do is when the main time line reaches say frame 50, i want the team1 movie clip to gotoAndStop at frame 10, thus showing the image and not the text. i tried doing it by putting this on the main timeline at frame 50: team1.gotoAndStop("team");

Either the search function isn't working or no one has asked this but in all of my googling and section, I cannot find an answer to what seems to be an easy question. I have a nested movie clip. In the last frame of this movie clip I have a button that I want to gotoAndStop(21); to the main timeline but cannot figure it out. I have read this question asked several times while googling and not one answer surprisingly.
I have tried xxxx.gotoAndStop(21); with xxxx being parent, _parent, _main etc but there must be some way to do this I would think. If not via button then even just an action at the last frame that says to mainTimeline.gotoAndStop(21); Obviously mainTimeline is not correct but to give another example.

I want the press button to detect the last button pressed and if the shapes match, make them do something...obviously. I think I'm going at it the wrong way. I need to stick a "triange" id into the button/mc then if compares that and then if there is a match works then... right?

i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.

I am trying to alpha-tween some text, in a sequential order, something like movie titles, where text appear one after the other, by fading in, and fading out. This is my piece of code and what i am basically trying to do, is to run the first block of functions, after the other, so i can display the first movie clip, and the after it fades, display the second movie clip and so on.... The problem is that both movieclips fade in at the same time..I have tried to add a function after the constructor, that would look something like this:[code]

How 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?

I have a file in which I use this stage resize function. However if I resize really fast (like maximize button) it doesn't resize the Timeline.

private function resizeStage(e:Event):void{
resetVideo();
_controlbar.resetControlBar(stage.stageWidth);
_barlength = _clickbar.width;
_levelstart = _level.x;
