ActionScript 3.0 :: GotoAndPlay A Label Within A Clip?
Sep 4, 2009
I have a bunch of frame labels, and randomly choose one for the animation to bounce to. When all of this is on the main timeline it works fine, but I had to move it into a movieclip and I'm having trouble targeting those labels, it'll tell me the scene isn't found. How do I reference a frame label within a clip? Syntax?
Current non-working code:
ActionScript Code:
var frame:Number = randRange();
var strFrame:String = String("frame"+frame);
gotoAndPlay(strFrame, "main");
I need to access a clip named holder_mc on the main timeline, and a frame label within holder_mc.

I want to do something like gotoAndPlay(frame label) for a movie clip with the instance name content. I am using an array for my buttons placing multiple instances of the button mc on the stage. When I add content.gotoAndPlay I get an access of undefined property error. If I add it inside the parenthesis I get an expecting identifier before my frame label name error.

I just migrated to CS5.5, and I'm seeing some weird behavior with imported movie clips within Flash Builder. I've got an .fla with a MovieClip with an AS Linkage of 'Card'. I've exported the .fla as a .swc, and included it within an Actionscript Project in Flash Builder.
Previously, I would call the code:
for(var i:Number = 0; i < currentCards.length; i++) {
var currentClip:MovieClip = MovieClip(currentCards[i]);
MovieClip(currentCards[i]).gotoAndStop('unselected');
}
and everything worked completely fine. When I run this code within Flash Builder 4.5, after reexporting the .swc from Flash 5.5, I get the error:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label unselected not found in scene unselected
I thought there might be something funky going on with the scene assignments, so I changed the code to be:
MovieClip(currentCards[i]).gotoAndStop('unselected', 'Scene 1');
but then it couldn't find Scene 1. I finally changed the code to:
MovieClip(currentCards[i]).gotoAndStop(2);
and it worked fine. But why isn't it picking up my frame labels?

in AS3 to allow a movie clip to stop a Sound Object as well as going to a label and playing it. I'm a graphic designer trying to get a handle on AS3.

I know that you are not supposed to target a frame number but here's the deal.I have 2 scenes (Scene 1 and Scene 2). Both scenes are currently the same and I will be customizing them at a later date.The scenes are made up of multiple MC's and I need to target a particular frame. I have named the frame and tried the following script to no avail. When it does work, it goes to the first frame of Scene 2 every time like it is just traveling along the timeline and jumping to Scene 2.[code]

I have a flash movie in 1 flash scene that has over 3000 frames. I didn't use Flash's "scene" facility because it was not recommended on forums (i'm not sure why?). In any case, I just placed scene labels in the timeline instead and called them: Scene1..Scene7.When I placed buttons on an opening frame that allows me to jump to any of my timeline scene labels and play the movie from there, I used gotAndPlay("Label"). That worked fine for scenes 1-4. But on scenes 5-7, the goto works fine, but the play happens in fast forward? It's very odd. I tried renaming the labels and that had no effect.

I have an swf loaded into _level0. On button release I want gotoAndPlay a certain frame label in an swf loaded into an MC named Host on _level0 to. I have the following:
on (release) {
_level0.host.gotoAndPlay("Main", "MainStart");
unloadMovieNum (2);
}
The unload part looks fine, and I am back to my orginal page. But the page did not jump to 'MainStart'. What am I forgetting?

Basically trying to set a gotoAndPlay event on a movie clip (onPress / onRelease)
I've tried laying an invisible button over the top of the movie clip which did work, but disabled the movie clip from playing on rollover.
I found the following code on a Adobe forum, but don't really understand it.
myMovieClip.onPress = function () {
trace ("onPress called");
};

I have some sendAndLoad code which works good. Instead of outputting something to a text box I'd like to go to a different place in my movie. I've got quite a few embedded movie clips and the path is the following:
pages_all -> action sc copy 12 -> action content copy 13. Within the pages_all movie clip I'd like to go to frame number 13. How can I use the gotoAndPlay function to go to another movie clip.
I did try the following:
this._parent.gotoAndPlay(13)

Okay...
At the _root I have an instance using an empty clip named mainPageEmptyClip. Inside of that, are various other movies.
Now, at the _root there is a menu which, when clicked, should access one of the layers within the empty clip's content.
The problem here is that I can't discern what the target would be to actually access the clip. The action worked fine before I implemented the empty clip, but now it won't work any longer.
I've tried using the target tool built into FlashMX, but it doesn't list any of the instances withing mainPageEmptyClip - that's as far as it goes. I've tried entering in what would seem to be the path, based on the instance names of subordinate movies, but it does me no good - I'm continually given the error of Target Not Found.
These are the two options I've tried....
_root.mainPageEmptyClip.gotoAndPlay(351);
_root.mainPageEmptyClip.webLayer.gotoAndPlay(156);

in the end of a frame of a movie clip, can i have some kind of action script that makes that movie clip stop, and then play a frame in a scene?
this is what i have-
stop;
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 60)
it works, but instead of going to frame 60 of scene 2, it just goes to frame 60 of the movie clip that's still in scene 1.

I'm preloading an image into a flash movie using this code:

"Once image/movie is loaded, gotoAndPlay(2);".

I've got a 'simple' problem with some actionscript and movie clips. I have a 1 frame movie with 2 Layers. On Layer 1 I have a movie clip called green1_mc. In this movie clip I have another called green2_mc. This animation is 120 frames long, with a stop(); on frame 59. On Layer 2 of the main timeline I have another movie clip called green_back. This is my button. I've put the following code on the clip.

My movie clip doesn't respond to gotoAndPlay(1) command at all. Here is the situation: The Main.fla has a movie clip instance "Mov1" and the following AS3 code in the first timeframe:
function LoadSWF(Mov:Object, swf:String ):void {
fl_Loader = new Loader();
fl_Loader.load(new URLRequest(swf));[code]......
Once it's loaded it plays once (there is a stop(); at the end).So far so good but... the following code in the button script doesn't trigger any action at all:
Mov1.gotoAndPlay(1);
Any other code in that button works fine, so the button itself works ok.

I need to place a lot of buttons in the scene with different labels. I have created one button (not ui component). It is having custom look and feel. And I have placed many of the instances of this button in the scene.Now I need to add different labels two each button. These labels are not simply some texts, but movie clips.So how can I place these labels to each button? Placing an empty movie clip and calling attachMovie in action script failed..I am not sure how to achieve my requirement. If needed, I can give more explanation about the requirement.

is there anyway to have a button play frames 5-10 on a movie clip inside the current frame, as well as skipping to...lets say...frame 10 of the scene?
i want to create a site where buttons go to different pages, but those pages have animations in and out.so if someone is in one page, and clicks a button to go to another, that page plays the "out" animation while the other page plays the "in" animation.

I have a string variable that I'm using to keep track of something. After all is said and done I'm building a string that is the same name as a movie clip that's one the stage. However I cannot get it to work,this is how the clip in question has been added to the stage
middle_layer.addChild(restore_mc);restore_mc.name = "restore_mc";
variable page out is "restore_mc" **
// this is my code when I want that clip to go to and play the in label
var outClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
//outClip.name = getDefinitionByName(pageOut)();
outClip.gotoAndPlay("in");
this is an alternate route I've triedvar outClip = pageOut as MovieClip;outClip.gotoAndPlay("in");
