How can I code a button that goes back to the previous frame label and another that goes to the next frame label? I know about prevFrame() and nextFrame(), but I need something similar that references the next/previous named label and not the frame number...
View 16 RepliesI am trying to find a way to get my menu bar working. Little info, I am a beginner in Flash just learned the essential DVD from Adobe. My menu bar has the following: (About Us) (Services) (Quality) (Projects) (Contact Us) Each page will have a motion shape tween and slide the page down. I have type in this actions :
[Code]...
This actions only works when I click to the next labels but doesn't work when I want to click back to the previous labels. For example, if I click onto (About Us) to (Services) and (Services) to (Quality) and (Quality) to Projects and (Projects) to (Contact Us)... it all works. If I then click from (Contact Us) back to (Projects) or even any previous buttons.
Is 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);});
[code]....
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 have a Flash website with 3 interfaces( 3 frames with movie clips inside). they have a button that goes to different loaded .html page(text). But once the back button is pushed on the web browser, it always goes back to the first frame instead of the actual last page, which might have been frame 2 or 3.
View 1 RepliesIn the main timeline I have several movie clips, buttons and labels that navigate to the appropriate mc's. Inside the movie clip I have a button that will send you back to the main timeline and the appropriate label. I thought that would be relatively easy but it's not working.[code]...
View 2 Repliesis there an action script code that enables the timeline to automatically enter a frame label on entering a certain frame.

View 2 Replies1. I make a simple movie (call it movieClip) first frame has stop(); action, second frame has label playMovie, last frame has action gotoAndPlay(2); (so that movie not stop anymore2. Now I place movieClip on stage3. Question... what is code to make movieClip play frame label playMovie?
I already try to put many different type action in frame one of stage
this.movieClip.gotoAndPlay("2"); //NOT WORK
this.movieClip.gotoAndPlay(2); //NOT WORK

Yesterday Kglad gave me the following :
nextTX.onRelease = function (){var nextFrameLabelNum:Number = (1+Math.round(thTX._currentframe/27))%10;
thTX.gotoAndPlay("next "+nextFrameLabelNum);
}[code].....
which works great IF I am moving one image at a time.What I have done now is tween 3 slides to move into a visible mask by pressing next, but when I press previous of course the above doesn't work.It just jumps to the previous three with no tween.I would like to maintain the tween but in reverse.I would like the previous just to undo, in reverse, what the next button just did with the tween?Is there anyway to make this happen with as 2.0?
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 use this if statement with a frame label instead of a frame number. I believe that _currentframe is looking for a number only. Is there a different command that looks at frame labels instead of frame numbers?
View 1 Repliesis it possible to find the frame number of frame label with AS if a button is rolled over, the timeline jumps to a label - which plays a set of 3D rendered frames to 'raise' and element, once a user rolls out of the 'button' area the button is meant to 'lower' - which can be done by simply playing backwards to the previous label.

View 2 RepliesI am loading a swf into an empty MC with this code:
on(release) {
loadMovie("movie.swf", _root.container);
}
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 hit enter,it only plays next frame and then goes back to the frame where it stopped. What I've tried was something like:
stop();
Key.addListener(Key.ENTER)
if (Key.isDown.ENTER){
play();
};
I want it to play all the way to the end,not just go back.
This is an if stament on a frame on the root. I want to loop Carrera(a lenghthy movieclip) from frame 2 back to frame 1. (For testing purposes) This is the code:

I've got a movieclip acting as a button. Code on the button itself handles roll-over/-out states, and I define an onRelease function in the main timeline as follows:
[Code]...
This code takes the movie back to the first frame and works on the third frame. For some reason, though, the same code on the fifth frame has no effect. The button doesn't do anything. I have tried using the same button, I tried inserting a new keyframe with a new button, renaming the button, etc. and for some reason I just can't get it to work on the fifth frame. If it helps to visualize, I am essentially making a menu. The first frame contains buttons to take you to submenus, located on following slides. This button to go back to the original menu is on each frame with a submenu, but for some reason only works on one of them.
I'm trying to write an if then statement that will loop back to frame 1 once the next frame it hits is higher than 5. For some reason it doesn't work and I could easily go to frame six and add a go to and play but, I'd like to learn what's wrong instead of doing it the easy way.
[Code]...
how do you do the following
A movieclip is playing...
When it reaches frame 20, it goes back and plays at frame 5. Then it keeps doing this. To me this is harder than it looks

Does anyone know why if I use

_parent._parent.gotoAndPlay(19);
}[code]....
it will work? My labeled frame is two parent mc's previous and it doesnt work when I call to it with the label?I would really like to use the label so if I move my keyframes around I dont have to change a lot of code.....
I have a timeline that has some label frames at the very end of the timeline. During the timeline a user will hit a button on a frame and will jump to one of the label frames. On the label frame is another button that when clicked - returns the user to the previous frame. How do I make the movie return to frame 1 - without a button - but before it reaches the label frames? In other words, by simply reaching a certain frame in the movie, I want the timeline to go back to frame 1.
View 3 RepliesI have three buttons, btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, and two movie clips, image_1,image_2. The names listed btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, image_1,image_2. are all instance names. All buttons and movie clips are on their own layer in a single frame on the main time line. the movie clips have a stop action on the first and last frame, with a frame label, on the first frame in the sub time line. For image_1 the frame label is image_1_1 and for image_2 the frame label is image_2_1.
I would like btn_1 and btn_2 to control the movie clips, image_1,image_2. Either button should be able to close the other buttons movie clip and play it's own movie clip. Also i am trying to make the movie clips themselves have the ability to be closed by clicking on the movie clip image area that is playing. Both movie clips when not playing hide behind the appropriate button with an alfa of 0.
When playing they expand to the middle of the window and are at 100% alfa, using a tween. The third button, btn_3 should only be visible when one or the other movie clisp are playing. btn_3 dose nothing else but this for now. As of now, my movies continuously loop and btn_3 is always visible. I can't seem to figure this out. my code for this action is:

I have navigation buttons that are linked to frame labels on other scenes and when you double click them they go to the next scene.
For example if i was to click the home button twice it would go to the info scene and if i click it a third time it will go to another scene.

I have a tic-tac-toe game. Where the user would which spot they would want to put their X or O in and then they would go to a random question. That's where my problem starts. How do I get it to go to a random question?[code]This is what I tried using. It works, but it only goes to QuestionOne. I tried putting a comma to seperate the labels, but that just makes it play the whole movie.
View 2 RepliesFollowing the common rules, I'd like to put all my as2 code in the first frame of a layer named "code". Then this question occurred: how to implement that "taking some actions when a specified frame(best using "frame label" not "frame index number") entered" in the "code frame" using as2. what i can call to mind is listen the enter frame message of the current MC, but how can i check if the current entered frame is the specified frame?
