I have two movie clips on the main stage: mcNav and mcContent1 (mcContent1 is located in the 2nd frame).
When I click btn1 which is a movie clip within mcNav, I want to go to the 2nd frame on the main stage where mcContent1 is located.
And then go to frame 10 within mcContent1 and stop.
Here's what I have:
btn1.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoFrame(2).mcContent1.stop(frame 10);
I have been doing really well figuring everything out up until now.[code]How it stands, what is this link pointing to? Can I make it target a specific frame in a specific movie clip?And if someone would be so kind and explain what this is saying in 3rd grader terms.

I have a looped sound and some components in my main movie (scroll bar) which for some reason is really bogging down my swf and causing the preloader bar not to show up until like 46% or something ridiculous.So I am trying to solve the problem by having a preloader swf as suggested by Kode in this thread. However, now all my targeting is messed up in my main movie. Everything that was _root has to change but I can't tell what to load it into. I tried using _parent, _parent._parent, _root.container_mc (which is a blank movie clip created in the preloader swf that main is loaded into after the preloader is 100%) and others but nothing works. Even the simple looped sound which was originally just _root.backsound.start(0,999) can't be targeted.how to target things on my main stage based on the preloader swf?
View 14 RepliesI have a main swf that loads 2 external swfs. I click on button to see content of external swf #1 and see stuff. I do something that causes external swf to show other stuff (i.e. not at beginning state)
In the main swf I click on button to see content of external swf #2. External swf #1 content is made invisible and I see content of external swf stuff. NOW, if I click on button to take me back to see external swf #1, I see it's content in current state. I want to force it to start over again at frame #1 which will reset content.
However, no matter what I try, I can't seem to control which frame to go to in external swf using gotoAndplay.

I have a main movie that loads about 30 external swf's, so i have a button which after its pressed it loads an external swf and a specific frame,
i.e
there is a main movie called main.swf and there is an external movie that has about 15 frames and its called movie.swf I added a button to a main.swf so when its pressed it loads that external movie.swf so my question is: how do i load a specifc frame of that movie.swf
The situation is as follows:I'm using Action Script 2.0 --- I'm obligated to in the course I'm attending.I have a main timeline that has 3 frames. On the 2nd frame I have a movieclip named mc_nbr.

I used the folowing code for the button btn_voltar:

I cant get this working at all, I have a movieclip that when it gets to frame 22 I want it removed from stage. As it gets to this frame it increases a variable by 100 and when I have it invisible it keeps increasing the variable infinitely which I dont want. How do I completely remove the movieclip from the stage (it starts placed on the stage from my library).
View 1 RepliesI have one button and it's primary role is to stop all sounds in the project when triggered. It is just positioned on the main stage in the main project, not inside of a MC.
I then have a very simple music playing system (4 buttons, one for each song) in it's own MC which displays text of the artist and title song when respective buttons are pressed.
This works fine, apart from the fact that when I click the 'stop sounds' button the text is still displayed from whetever the last song was that had been playing.
I was thinking there must be a simple method of incorporating an actionscript function into the 'stop sounds' button, so that when it's pressed it also takes control of the movie clip and moves it to the first frame which doesn't display any of this text.
I was thinking of a simple gotoAndPlay command followed by something, but I don't know the command to tell Flash where to find frame 1 of this movie clip rather than just frame one of the whole project.
I have a moviclip on the main stage with a stop action on the frame above. I want the movie to play ahead from that frame on the main stage after a certain frame is reached in the movieclip.
I tried using this simple function on the main stage;
if (_root.myMovieclip.signal._x = 100){
gotoAndPlay(win);
}
So when signal._x moves to 100 in the movieclip, the frame jumps to "win". However this doesn't work. I tried using a timer on the frame as well but it does not provide an accurate enough response.
Is it possible to make a call from inside a MC to change a frame on the main stage (IE: scene 1 frame 2) rather than just frames within the MC? I've already tried going gotoAndStop("1,2") but that seemed to do jack.

there is a button on 1st frame. there is a movie clip on frame 2. I named the movie clip as "ball_mc" I want to go to frame 2 when I click on button on 1st frame. I know that the code "gotoAndPlay(2);" on button will work. But for some reasons, i want to try another way.... i tried several codes:
1. this.ball_mc.gotoAndPlay();
2. _level.ball_mc.gotoAndPlay();
3. _global.ball_mc.gotoAndPlay();
4. _root.ball_mc.gotoandPlay();
However these codes dun work. Is there other way to resolve this besides this code "gotoAndPlay(2)"?
I did this:
Code:
var mc_array:Array;
mc_array = new Array(3);
mc_array[0] = mc1;

I want to use arrays to shorten things, but I don't know how to get and set the properties of individual entries of the array (with a mouse click).
