on MouseEvent {
gotoandplay(6);
}

View 2 RepliesI have this code below on this button that is inside of a movieclip. I just want this button to do is move the main timeline to a specific frame thats all.
[Code]...
I didnt put i a object name before the addeventlistener because I'm not sure what to put because if I put "this" the other buttons will bt controlled by this code and if i put "parent" only that button will work.
What I want to do is have one movieclip that has many frames and turn that into a button and then make different instances of the button and have those instances display a certain frame of the underlying movieclip.

View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip that is comprised of multiple images.These images are used as the backdrops of various different pages of my portfolio.Every image is in a specific order, so if the user decides to go from page 1 to page 4, it will pan through the first three pages quickly before stopping on the 4th page. Simple Enough.The problem is I want them to be able to also do this while manipulating the timeline in reverse. So say if they're on page 4 and want to go back to page 2, it will 'rewind' the timeline and stop on page 2.know there are plenty of tutorials out on how to play a timeline in reverse, however none of which discuss stopping automatically when reaching a certain point that is before the beginning

i'm actually making a card matching game and i'm having problem flipping the 1st card back if the cards don't match... i made 2 animation in 1 mc...the first one is to see the behind of the card...and the other one is to turn it back if wrong...
so is there a way that i could play the mc of the first card to frame 30 when clicking the 2nd card and they don't match??
I made a flash website and had one page load an external swf.
In this external .swf are thumbnails that link to another page (frame) all within the external swf. when you go to these pages there is a 'back' link which links back to the main external swf frame.
My problem is this: let's say i click a thumbnail in the external swf and it goes to the respective thumbnail page, and then i dont click the 'back' button but instead click another link of the main flash website - then i go back to the page that loads the external swf and instead of going to the main frame of the external swf it stays at the page i was previously on.
How do I get the link on the main flash website which loads the external .swf to always load on the first frame of the external swf?
This is my code for the page that loads the external .swf
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("branding.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(request);
loader.x = 0;

How would I do this using actionscript? I was kind of thinking like this:

I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3. I'm building a website for a friend the problem I have. When a user clicks on a button I want it to play a movie clip then stop at a specfic frame. I want all the buttons to play the same movieclip but go to a different frame.
The current actionscript I am using is located on frame 1 is:
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homebuttonClicked);
function homebuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(0)
}about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutbuttonClicked);
function aboutbuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("aboutme")

This allows me to navigate to the right frame but does not play for obvious reasons, if I use the gotoAndPlay function its carries on playing to the end of the movie.

I have a stop play button but it freezes play as opposed to what I require which is returning cursor to frame 1 to then await the next button click when an animation would play again.I currently have code for the button as :-
on (release) {stopMovies(this);function stopMovies(mov:MovieClip) {for (movs in mov) {if (typeof (mov[movs]) == "movieclip") {mov[movs].stop();stopMovies(mov[movs]);}}}}
I have tried everything but it just isn't working.On my main timeline I have a MC called "rainbow." Inside "rainbow" I have a MC called "greenbow."Inside "greenbow" I have a MC called "meetbtn2" I want it to play frame 134 on the main timeline when you click "meetbtn2."my code inside greenbow is as follows:
meetbtn2.onRelease = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay(134);
};
however it doesn't work! is it because i am inside two MC's?I have also tried
_root.rainbow.greenbow.meetbtn2.onRelease = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay(134);
};
Say on frame 100 of my timeline on my layer movie, I want to load a clip. What is the AS that I put in the keyframe 100?
