Scenario : Scrolling textbox with buttons and header text
I currently have a button - that when i click it - i ideally want it to jump to a text header in the scrolling text box - i seemed to be stumped trying to code the button.
I was thinking about making the headers of the texts, a movie clip and linking the button to the movie clip - i tried a goToAndPlay - but i'm not sure if thats a correct command to use (cause it doesnt work ).
I know this is novice, but how can I add links to movie clip buttons?

View 2 RepliesI'm making a room escape game and I've run into a problem. When an item gets added to the inventory, I'd like the user to be able to click on the item to affect another object (e.g. clicking screwdriver hides screws and displays other image) however when I add the code to the item, if the item is clicked and it's nowhere near the object it affects, the image pops up and it looks really stupid.
So what I'd like to be able to do, possibly using if and else statements or whatever's easiest, is to only have the inventory item be clickable if the movie clip of the object is affects is visible on the stage.

I have a simple animation which fades in two movie clip objects at the end. After this, the image stays static. I want both objects to be buttons to link to a website and to emailI'm not sure how to go about doing this, it seems once an object converted to a movie symbol it cannot be a button at the same time. How can I achieve this with CS4?

the problem is when i clicked play button and it links to the play page,but it has an intro animation for 2-3 seconds before they reach the menu_btn that's why the error come out is that I have a null object since they execute the code b4 it comes to the menu_btn keyframe.

View 13 RepliesI have 10 objects in 10 layers to make a single logo. I have created them using flash drawing objects. Now I would like each object to come one by one on stage using motion tween. How can I go further? Do I need to make each object a movie clip before set it motion tween? Or do I need to make a single movie with all 10 objects as combined? Please note that I need each object to come on stage one by one (not a whole logo on once). Please provide help or any example tutorial link.

i have named the symbol blog and have name the frame of where the blog page is going to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where i run into trouble the output window in Flash is saying "The blog button was clicked" just like i want it to. no errors are accouring why than is the playhead not going to frame "blogframe"? if the button is working when i click it the code is right i belive the problem here is it does not want the playhead to go to the frame i want it to. So i gues my question is, how can i make a button withing a movie clip interact with the main timeline?
if I attach two movie clips MC1 and MC2 on the stage.MC1 has a simple button also. MC2 is transparent.First I attach the MC1 and then I attach MC2. Both on the stage. So obviously, MC2 is added over the MC1. In this situation, I cannot click the button which is place in the MC1.If Im not wrong, in AS2, if the MC2 is transparent, the button in the MC1 can still respond to the mouse events.
