I have a .swf menu with 20 or so links. Each link opens up a new html page that in turn embeds the same swf menu. All I want is to simply have the html tell the swf to gotoAndStop a specific frame label that really just 'highlights' that particular button, so the user knows where they are. that's it... used to be able to do this with fsCommand, or so i thought.

i made swf which contain 7 button to control 7 pages i put this swf in dreamweaver to control ths file, i tried to give every single button Avalue to tell the root which frame in which movie clip(for the button to be highlight) but it deosn't work
here is the code
////////////// the code for Buttons
on (release) { if (_root.link != 1) {
// if there anther selected button _root.menu["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2"); _root.link = 1;

I have reviewed and applied this wonderfull explanation contained in the post thread response from Mr. Catbert303 "linking to specific frame number or label from an html page" about the javascript and actionscript code combination wich allows the swf movie to force-jump into specific framelabel or framenumber and it also works perfectly whenever i go from the link "back to swf" on my plain html page to the movie content page (also html). But i need my swf movie content page to start playing from cero whenever it is played from start and not begining always at the specifyed frame in the actionscript code:
if (frame != "") {
gotoAndPlay(frame);
}
I have tried everything within the "if" & "else" conditionals and i can't get the swf movie content page to start playing from frame 1 everytime it is called up, but instead it looks like it reads the actionscript code described above and always takes you to the specifyed framelabel, not playing it from the start. I have a hunch i'm missing something extra on my actionscript code wich must determine if the swf file is to jump to the specified frame or start playing from cero, because if i remove the above AS2 code from frame 1, it then starts playing from cero normally like it should but won't jump to the specifyed frame when also needed from the HTML page.
Is it possible to link to a specific part of my flash movie from an html page. Is there any way to link to a frame number or label? The site is html based, but the intro/home page is flash. I don't want users to have to see the intro every time they go back to the home page from somewhere else within the site. Is there something that I can append to my link on my html page to make it go to a specific frame in the swf?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});

However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.
I'm having an issue with some pictures and a gotoAndStop on frame one command. I have pictures on my website that appear when clicked on, and I've placed a simple close button in the top left corner of the picture that simply tells flash to go back to frame 1 (gotoAndStop(1)). However, it seems that in Internet Explorer (not in FF) when the close button is clicked it goes back to frame one but it leaves part of picture still displayed although it seems to dissapear in segments when rolled over with the mouse. Here is the website where this is occurring: [URL]. Btw, I'm using the flash eff component, but the problem seemed to still occur after i removed all flash eff instances.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to move to next (not specified) label frame without indicating a specific name?I have a portfolio movie clip with images, using the AS3 Tween Class.I have a "next" button that hopefully will trigger the tween to NEXT label.

next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickNextSection);

i have a button instance, within a movie clip within a scene. i can not get the gotoAndStop on a frame label within the scene to work. I CAN however get the gotoAndPlay code to work (which defeats the purpose).
[Code]...
I have this script in Scene 4:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
contact_bttn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, bClick);
function bClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("getInfo");
}
I have a frame labeled getInfo in Scene 4. When I test scene it works fine. When I test movie I get this:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label getInfo not found in scene Scene 4.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at ig_index_3_fla::MainTimeline/bClick()
I have tested with frame number it works, it doesn't with label name. Is it possible ? In main.as:
public function gotoTab1(target:MouseEvent) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}[code]....
of course I give tab2 as label name to the frame at position 5.no error shows up.
I have a video in a frame that corresponds with the label "eight". i have a button on the timeline with the following code. i've tried it both gotoAndStop and gotoAndPlay and it doesn't work.
on (press) {
gotoAndStop(eight);
}
The below function does not work probably due to the path being typed incorrectly. How can i fix it?
ActionScript Code:
function ChangeTheme(Thistheme)
{
for (i = 1; i <= 218; i++)
{
with (this["sector" + i])
[Code]...
Also worth mentioning: On each of those frames, i have defined a local variable to label the sector. the label's name will be the same as the movie clip that is visible on that frame, as described below:
Actions for Frame1 of WallNorth: fLabel = CementRoad_mc
actions for frame2 of WallNorth: fLabel = DirtRoad_mc
P.S. "Thistheme" is just a way of advancing the frame of "Cementroad" (to display the cement road as wet or dry or muddy or w/e)
if its possible, via AS3, to create a frame label in a movieclip on a specific frame.
Obviously I can do it by manually by setting up labels on the timeline within the target movieclip, but I would rather use an array so I can loop through it, creating a label name on a the specific frame each time?
so for example I would end up with:
myLabelOne on frame 10
myLabelTwo on frame 25
myLabelThree on frame 115
etc
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.
View 8 RepliesI am loading a swf into an empty MC with this code:

what I want to do is also go to a specific frame or frame label in that loaded movie. I thought I could do it by adding something like this:
_root.containter.gotoAndPlay("frame");
Is there a way to get the frame label on a specific frame, without it being the current frame?
I've tried accessing it through:
this.scenes[0].labels but it doesn't allow me to check a specific point on the timeline.
I know. This topic has been addressed several times in various posts. And I've read and tried all of them, however nothing seems to work. I'm not sure if due to the circumstances...I'll explain.
I have made 2 files: main.swf and products.swf. A button in main.swf has the following code:
on (release){
_root.loadMovie("products.swf");
}
This works great, but what I really want to do is go to frame label "Range" in products.swf. A note of explanation: I'm not trying to load products.swf into a container movieclip, I want to replace main.swf with products.swf and go to Range label.
I got my HTML embedded in my flash file, finally!But now I want some parts of the text that is in the HTML file to link to a specific label in flash itself.What variable can I use for this? or even a Href link?
View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem trying to call an specific label or frame in a secondary MC.
-There is a main time line (120 frames) with an Intro animation stop in frame 103.
-There is 2 buttons in frame 103 (b1,b2). On release this buttons play 104 and stop in the last frame of the main time line (120).
-In the frame 120 these 2 buttons fade and an MC called navmenu and an empty mc (to load external flash) appear
-MC navmenu is the main menu with 6 frames, one for each button.
I'm trying that when I click on b1, it play 104 go to the end of the main time line, and call frame 3 on navmenu MC, plus load movie on empty MC.[code]...

I need to load an external movie file into the root of my main movie, so it replaces the main movie, and when it loads, it loads at a specific frame (or label)of that newly loaded movie.
Explanation: My main movie, lets call it "Main.swf", has a button which is part of a drop down (tree) list. When you click on the button, I want to load my second movie called "bearings.swf", and to immediately go to frame #2 of the "bearings.swf" movie.
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");
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip which, when closed, should send you to a specific frame on the main timeline... I have used frame labels on the main timeline... Here is a bit of my code so far:
[Code]...
So I have this movie clip with some buttons in it. Two of the buttons (forward and backward) move the movie clip forwards or backwards one frame at a time - this works fine. However the other two buttons (fast forward and rewind) are suppose to move the movie clip forwards or backwards 25 frames at a time (so they always go to 25, 50, 75, 100, etc.) - but here's the problem.
Say for example I'm at frame 150. I press the fast forward button and I'm at frame 175. Now I hit backward and I'm at 174. Now I hit fast forward again to get back to 175 - however my movie clip is jumping ahead to 200, skipping 175 completely - not what I want. I'm just using the gotoAndStop(frame#); commands and have no clue why this is happening. I want the fast forward and rewind buttons to always hit the next 25 increment, not skip the closest one.
I am able to pass a variable from an html link that loads a separate html file and instructs the swf embedded file to go to a specific frame. But - I now need a link within an swf file on one page to open a new page and tell that swf to start on a specific frame and it is not working. Here is the code I use for the first example - works like a champ:

I'm trying to target labeled frames using a simple gotoAndStop command but for some bizzare reason the code doesn't recognise labels only frames.
