hi i am having trouble getting my buttons to work right in flash cs4. is it possible to have a button gotoandplay a frame inside a different movieclip? if so how?
View 2 Repliesive made a simple game for a uni project, when you get game over a movieclip comes up and inside the movie clip there is a button to restart the game. how to i code the button inside the movieclip to gotoAndPlay to frame 1 on the main timeline?

I have a scrollPane on my stage, and I have a movieClip inside of it with a bunch of buttons. When you click on one of the buttons, I need it to gotoAndPlay a frame label on the main timeline. So far I cannot get this to work.
View 6 Repliesis 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 frame with a movieclip in it (named "theclip" in the library and has the instance name of "guy"). The movieclip has two frames with stops on them. The second frame inside this movieclip has the label "guy2"
Now back in the basic frame i also have a button (outside the guy movieclip) that i'd like when i press it it jumps to the "guy2" frame of the "guy" movieclip.
Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("guy2");
}
what do i add to the script that makes it refer to the movieclip? Is there a line like the _root or _parent and so on?
How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
How do you target a certain frame number/name from outside of that specific movieclip?
Code:
whoweare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, whoweareClick);
function whoweareClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("whoweare");
}
I'm assuming it's something with the gotoAndPlay function... but I've tried numerous things with that and nothing is working.
How Do I Change Stage Frame From Inside MovieClip?

Heres my code so far:

hh.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);

i tried (root).gotoAndStop(2); but i got an error , #1061 ..
I have several website pages set up on different frames inside the content (which is a movieclip) of the home page - which is on frame 1 of the main timeline. The content movieclip name is contentMc.
My About page is at frame 10. There is a button on this page (called btnAbout_contactpg) that I want to make jump to my Contact page (frame 50) - all of which is nested under the main contentMc movieclip.
This is the pathway on my contentMc (where all of my pages are located), just in case that doesn't make sense: [URL]
I have looked at several different instructions online, but none of them seem to work.
EDIT:
I am also trying to get a button on my gallery page to load an external image, but it is not recognizing where the button is either:
btnGallery_1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, showPic1);
function showPic1 (e:MouseEvent) {
var target:Object=e.target;
var parent=target.parent;
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("image-0.jpg"));
}
I am making a website with a flash menu. I want it to gotoAndPlay a particular frame (frame A) when the cursor is on a button. When you roll the cursor off of the button I want it to gotoAndPlay a different frame (frame B). That part was easy enough. But here is the problem. If you click on the button I want it to continue playing frame A even when you roll off.
View 3 RepliesIn the game there is a scene (called scene 1) in that scene there is a movieclip.. Inside that movieclip there is alot of frames, and on the last frame there shall be a gotoAndPlay script that makes you go to scene 2 that is outside the movieclip... I have tried with gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1); and stuff, but it doesn't work

View 1 RepliesI have an animation inside a movieclip thats located on the main timeline. There is a stop on the first frame of the movieclip, and whenever I try to do the _root.MC.gotoAndPlay(2) it will play like one frame then stop.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to understand how to build a button inside a movieclip.� I have a template that has movieclips within movieclips, and when I create a button (all using AS2) the button will work if I test the scene, but in the whole flash movie it does not work.� I also have some buttons located inside a ScrollPane that also do not call correctly.

For my button I am using this code:

facebookbtn.on (release) {
getURL("http://www.facebook.com/","_blank","GET");

How to jump to a frame (gotoAndPlay) on the ROOT (or any frame anywhere) right after a movie clip is done playing. This is AS3 on Flash CS4.
View 9 RepliesI'm making a flash site but I'm having a little problem: I preload my site with this code:
Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded / bytes_total;
this.loadBar._width = getPercent * 200;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent * 100) + "%";
if(bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
This code works perfectly when I test it, but if it goes to frame 3, the MC's on that frame won't start playing... ? If I just remove the frames with the preload bar (so frame 3 becomes frame 1), all works perfectly...
Have a blank stage with 3 movie clips as buttons. When I click them I'm using this code
[Code]...
this triggers the click of the button to return to the main timeline and stop on a specific frame. My issue is that if I click the button a second time, it goes to a blank (or different ) frame, a third click will return it to the proper frame. I'm doing this as some users I work with are mouse clickers, now this is ok if I use a button symbol, but I want them as movieclips. What script can i use to ensure that every click makes the mc operate the exact same (goto specific slide with no randomness)?
this is so complicated i don't think i'll ever be able to do it a button is clicked to start the game which is all playing in the second frame of main timeline according to the maths for as3 but i need to be able to have the same button in the same frame when clicked gotoandplay an mc which exists in frame 3

View 1 RepliesI am using an older version of flash. This is technically a game question but it is in older flash.My MC is a movable char that can jump, fall, and land on platforms. I would like to program a way for if the char falls and doesn't meet ground (i.e. falls out of view entirely) for a new frame to play on the main timeline OR for a movie clip to load asking it to try again OR for the game to start over completely. Whichever method is easiest.
View 1 Replieshow to code a simple load sequence scene. This is how I had it set up in AS2 -I've got two scenes, "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". I've got a 10 frame shape tween in Scene 1. On the 9th frame, I assigned actionscript that will check to see if frame 40 of Scene 2 is loaded, and if it is, gotoAndPlay Scene 2, Frame 1. Then have action in frame 10 of Scene 1 that says to gotoAndPlay scene 1 frame 1 of the current scene. This way scene 1 loops until frame 40 of scene 2 is loaded, at that point, scene 2 frame 1 plays.�
How could I set this up in AS3? Here is what I tried - I've got two scenes, "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". I've got a MC that is a simple shape tween that loops in the "Scene 1". I'm trying to assign codein "Scene 1" that will check to see if frame 40 of Scene 2 is loaded. If it is, gotoAndplay Scene 2 frame 1. If frame 40 of Scene 2 is not loaded, continure to loop the MC unitil it is. Here is the code I've got for the MC in the "Scene 1"

In AS2 I need code for a button, on the main timeline, to go to a frame in a mc off the main time line. I have attached a picture of the time lines in case I have not articulated my needs well.
View 5 RepliesI have a character, every body part is a movieclip. Now I wanted to put a movieclip for the eyes inside of the headmovieclip so that I can change them independently from the mouth. So in the eye-movieclip that is inside of the head-movieclip I put two keyframes, one for opened eyes and one for closed eyes. I put it to "Single frame" in properties. Now, whenever I make a pose and I change the frame number under properties so that it displays the closed eyes, it does that for the whole movie, not only on the frames that I changed it.
I wanted to use that to control things like eyes, ears and the mouth individually but like this it won't work, it changes it for the whole animation.
I'm taking a class on Flash right now but its set up in this strange manner where they barely teach you actionscript at all but expect you to be able to take the examples in class and work and amend them into your projects. I am trying to write a function for a button that will gotoAndPlay one frame beyond where the timeline presently is stopped at.
