i have a variable declared in the root timeline.
var showlarge:String = "large_mc";
and Im trying to throw that variable into a gotoAndPlay action like this...
on(release){
_root.inner.showlarge.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
I am trying to add the following action to a rollover button: on (release) { gotoAndPlay(", );}
The buttons are in the button layer.
For some reason the file wouldn't attach, but can be found at this address: [URL]
how can I make a movie go to a next frame when an action has been completed? I would like to make an actionscript tween like below, and when the tween has been completed, I want the movie to go to a next frame
stop();
textTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(tekstMC, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 136.9, 600,1, true)
something like:"when action above has been carried out, gotoAndPlay(5);";

The website I am currently making is quite dark so before the user enters the website I want them to drag a slider until text onscreen is a suitable brightness then when they click enter to continue into the site I need the background mc to go to a frame relative to where the slider was.

I'm pretty new to AS3 but I want to get my buttons to play the same movie then go to their button function. i.e., Picture button > play movie (same as all buttons) > picture frame.
This is the code on my buttons
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var currentButton:String;
[Code] .....
Then at the end of the movie I tried using a variable to link the button to its frame
ActionScript Code:
stop();
if (currentButton == name) {
content.gotoAndStop("music");
} else if (currentButton == name) {
content.gotoAndStop("book");
} else if (currentButton == name) {
content.gotoAndStop("stereo");
}
I know the scripts messed up but not sure I really get the variable thing as yet.
This doesn't work
if (lives <= 0) {
gotoAndStop(22);
}
When I change the "<=" to something like "!=" it does work. I'm trying to make it go to a certain frame when the variable hits 0
Need to send a user to different frames depending on a number input into a text field. Here is what I have, but regardless of number, it send them to Frame 20. New to AS and having a tough time figuring this out.

I have an animation and i want a variable to eb set to false once it is done. I was currently using the statement below when i simply used addChild(name); to add it.
MovieClip(this.parent).hero.landing = false;
However i now changed that statement to gamelevel.addChild(name); and the above statement no longer works properly, it changes the variable to false, but it resets immediately after. How do i reference this properly?
Background; I want to load a global variable from a button action, and use this global variable to point to a frame named with what I'm gonna set the variable to, for instance a global variable of 1 will trigger a movie clip with a to play to a frame named 1.
I've set _global.x = 1 from a button instance withing an on(rollOver) block, and it shows up fine through trace(_global.x) from within a separate movie clip instance (within the same scene/timeline), but when I tried to use it in gotoAndPlay using the syntax gotoAndPlay(_global.x) it doesn't work. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I just don't know what.
I need to evaluate long list of variables and I want actionscript to perform an action if my variable fits into certain range.I tried like this
if(_global.something == "var1" || "var2" || "var3" || "var4" || "var5" || "var6")
but it doesnt work, the usage of || needs only 2 variables...
I dont want to write my script like
if(_global.something== "var1"){
samefunction();[code].....
how can I write my script efficiently in this case?

Background: I have a project where i need to create multiple objects that consume the same base calss from an external .as file. each of the individual fla files that consume the base class need to pass a variable to the base class so the class can return information specific to the fla.
My question is,if i have an external class path set up, how do i get a variable on the first frame of the movie to be visible to the base class && how do i call upon its value from within the class.
Code:
_root.navigationMC.onPress = function() {
startPreload("blue.swf");
}
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?

I am using code from a tutorial that I downloaded to get an Home.swf to preload in my "index" page.the problem is that a part of the code reads
movie1_btn.onPress=function(){
startPreload ("Home.swf");
}
which means that I have to create a button to get the .swf file to load, how do I edit this code so that the action begins on it's own at that frame?
Can somebody change this code from action script 1 to a action script 2 because it doesn't work on new flash 8

I couldn't come up with a good title for this question but basically the problem is this - I've got a series of thumbnails and clicking on a thumbnail loads a larger picture into a holder movieclip on the main stage. However, if you click another thumbnail while the first picture is still loading, then both pictures load and it goes on from there. How can I make my code so that clicking a new thumbnail cancels any actions from previous clicks?
