I want to do something like gotoAndPlay(frame label) for a movie clip with the instance name content. I am using an array for my buttons placing multiple instances of the button mc on the stage. When I add content.gotoAndPlay I get an access of undefined property error. If I add it inside the parenthesis I get an expecting identifier before my frame label name error.

I wanted to know how to link Button within a movie clip linking to Frame Label?I am using Action-script 3.0
I am trying to use the following AS inside the movie clip from where i want to go to the other frame labeled as advt_sms but i am not able to go to that page[code]...
I am making a website based in flash actionscript 3.0 i have a button nested in its own movie clip, because I have the button expanding to be able to read it i have figured out the only way to do this is by creating it as a movie clipa nd inside the movie clip creating it as a button. I added an event listener to the blog button by saying[code]...
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. So i gues my question is, how can i make a button withing a movie clip interact with the main timeline?
How do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.
View 1 RepliesI have a scrollPane on my stage, and I have a movieClip inside of it with a bunch of buttons. When you click on one of the buttons, I need it to gotoAndPlay a frame label on the main timeline. So far I cannot get this to work.
View 6 RepliesI have a ten-frame Flash doc. Seven of these frames have movie clips. What I want to do is be able to have a user navigate to another frame in the main timeline by clicking a button at the end of each movieclip.
I'm using this code:
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1",6);
}

And I"m not getting errors but it's not working when I launch the movie.
ive made a simple game for a uni project, when you get game over a movieclip comes up and inside the movie clip there is a button to restart the game. how to i code the button inside the movieclip to gotoAndPlay to frame 1 on the main timeline?

Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
View 6 RepliesI am working on a site that involves a dropdown gallery menu. I have placed four buttons inside the dropdown menu and it works only with the geturl function, but i want it to gotoAndPlay a particular frame outside of the movie clip. is that possible? Here is the link. TJ2 Studios
Im sorry if i am not clear. My actionscript is coming along very slowly. I created a dropdown menu inside a button. This button is supposed to gotoAndPlay frame 365 outside of the mc i created within that button, ie on the main timeline. But it does not work. However when put the script getURL it goes to the site i commanded.

is there anyway to have a button play frames 5-10 on a movie clip inside the current frame, as well as skipping to...lets say...frame 10 of the scene?
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.
I'm in the process of designing this site as a portfolio for my art and am in the process of creating and laying out the galleries. My idea was to create movie clip animated buttons that would react to the roll over stuff. I got that part to work the way I wanted it. But now, I can't seem to figure out how to put a "Gotoandplay" type of code on the buttons so that the timeline would jump to the appropriate frame and play. (I put an "on(release) gotoandplay" on it the way I would put it on a button but it never responds. I have a couple of buttons that work fine with a "geturl". so I thought a "gotoandplay" would work fine. If this can be figured out in a way that I can easily use it for all buttons with just the frame number needing alteration, that would be best. After you click the splashpage door jpg, there will be a piece of paper on the floor. That is a button which should trigger the animation that starts at frame 114. When clicked, the page lifts up and spread open to two pages. But it never reacts

I want a button which is on an externally loaded swf to tell a movieclip on my main swf to gotoand play a specific frame. Is this possible and how would I do it?
View 0 RepliesAfter the HitTest, How do I use the gotoAndPlay to direct the the main timeline to goto frame 2, and not frame 2 of _root.circle MC? with _parent?
I know this might be a simple question, but my brain hurts from the previous 'debugging'.....
both of these give me the same results.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.circle.hitTest(_root.box1)) {
gotoAndPlay(2);

I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.
View 1 RepliesI've made a very normal animated pop-up menu for my flash website, i now want the items that show up to refer to the main timeline, i'm kinda puzzeled on this one, because i dont want to store all my content inside the movieclip (that was my first solution)
View 5 RepliesI have a movie clip on the main stage- inside that movie clip is a button- I want that button to contol a function on the main timeline-
example: Button Script
closeAll_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goCloseAll);
function goCloseAll(e:MouseEvent):void {
****don't know what to put here to activate "closeAllOpenMovieClips" function on main stage****
}
example: Main Stage Timeline Script
function closeAllOpenMovieClips():void { trek_mc.gotoAndStop(1); lost_arts_mc.gotoAndStop(1); rain_mc.gotoAndStop(1); vintage_mc.gotoAndStop(1);}
***don't know if I need more script on Main Stage Timeline that just "function" ***

View 10 RepliesI have a button that is loaded into my main movie at level 2. in my main movie on the timeline I have a frame label called guestbook. I want my button, when released to go to trigger the frame label. on my button i have the script:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("guestbook");
}
Obvously this does not work because it references the wrong timeline so i tried:
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("guestbook");
}
thinking that somehow it would see the parent swf and work - haha - me and my dumb ideas of course it doesnt work.do you know how i can get it to work. Perhaps i should mention that the button that loads in at level 2 is inside a movie clip (for reasons of animation)
I make a website. First I have a frame with a movieclip, where my entire page is within.Inside of that is where all of my pages is in different frames, and in each of these frames there are other movieclips with content. My example:Top level /Entire site/My pages, in different frames /Movies/Pictures/About/Etc./Content (inside the "Movies") /Info about movies/Movie one/Movie two/Etc./My problem is as easy as this: I will link from the "My pages" level, to the first frame in "Content" (info about movies)If i just link to the, "Movies" frame, I can't get from "Movie One" to Info about movies by pressing the button, wich lies on the "My pages" Level.
View 4 RepliesFor the life of me I can't figure out how to trace out the current label in my movie's main timeline. This is in AS3. I have a button on stage that spans the timeline of the movie. It detects keypresses. I want to trace the current frame label that the play head is on.

I get "_level0" for this...and undefined for the rest. What am I doing wrong here?
I have a main movie and a sidebar movie within it. In the sidebar movie, there is a tab that will insert text from an XML document based on the location of the playhead in the main timeline. I was thinking there must be some way to do an 'if else' statement to have the sidebar movieclip look for the playhead location in the main movie and get the appropriate child node based on that. However, I am not experienced enough in AS3, and I don't think I'm writing the function correctly. Here is the code, but there is also a link to the file I'm working with in case this code doesn't make sense:
PHP Code:
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
var Intro01txt:String = xmlData.scriptText[0].narration.text();

I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.
