Flash :: Goto And Play Scene... Having Trouble

On Play Goto Scene?
hi. i tried searching for a thread with this but was unsuccessful . . could i get some help on this? i don't think it's a very hard one but i'm kinda new in actionscript. .

i've got a .swf with 3 scenes on an html page.
the first time the page loads the first scene plays and then stops.
if you mouse over that it will play scene 2 and stop. mouse over scene 2 it plays scene 3 and stops.
mouse over scene 3 and it plays scene 2. and continues the cycle between scene 2 and 3.

now on the html page there is a frame. there are links on the same page as the swf. every time a link is pressed it loads a page inside the frame, and at the same time it gives the command to play the .swf.

what i want to happen is for the .swf to see if it's in scene 1, 2, or 3.

if in scene 1 (when the play command is issued)play scene 3.
if in scene 2 (when the play command is issued)play scene 3.
if in scene 3 (when the play command is issued)play scene 2.

is there some way to set this up so that the swf can do this? also, where do i put this action scripting? would i need to put one on each scene? or just on scene 1?

thank you in advance for the help. .. 8*)

Goto And Play Scene
This is a really dumb question, and Im sorry for that, but when ever I try to make a button designated to take the user straigt to a scene, I use ''on (release) {gotoAndPlay(1,1);}'', and Its says that it must be a quoted string. What does this mean? and what is the proper syntax?

Goto And Play Scene?
For some reason i'm having problems swapping scenes in my flash movie. At first i put the action in a "actions" named layer and a link to a button.

So basicly when scene1 loads the frame 1 action is "stop ();". The viewer clicks on button1 which has a code of ;

on (press) {
gotoAndPlay ("10");
}

At frame 10 a 15 frame animation plays and finishes at frame 25. Actions for frame 25 is (keyframed ofc) ;

gotoAndPlay ("scene2", 1);

which wont work. I tried _root.gotoandplay etc and even scene1.gotoandplay and stil wont work. Then i assigned the action to the button itself and just wanted to see if i could switch to the scene by clicking on the button. No it wont work.

I'm fairly (actualy VERY) new to flash, so i might be missing something essential. What is it?

Goto And Play Scene 1 Don't Work?
I have created a menu, but I cant get it to link back to the main time line.
I created a movie clip called 'menu1'.
In 'menu 1', there is a button called 'home'.
I want the home button to link to frame 5 on the main timeline.
So, I entered this code into the button.

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1",5);
}

which I guess means 'goto scene 1 frame 5 and play'

pressing 'home' just continues the play in the current scene.

I also tried the following code,

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", _root5);
}

and this does nothing.

I read the book, and did exactly as it said, but it doesn't work.

I have included the code, so please see for yourself.

If anyone can solve this problem, or offern some alternative action, I would really appreciate it.

Goto Scene And Then Play Movie.......
Ok i don't know why it doesn't work. All i want to do is that after uyou make a choice in the menue an animation starts. At the end of this animation you are directed to the 2nd scene. Ther another animation schould start inside another mc. I tried to sart the animation with a

_root.mc1.mc2.gotoAndPlay(2)

but it dosn't work. It stops when the selected Frame ist reached. In the upper case it stops at frame 2. If i write

Thanks for any help and sorry for my bad english, i have a headache from a Party yesterday.

Goto And Play Previous Scene Possible?
Hey guys,
what I want (to be able) to do is a website composed in different scenes, so I can have the layout of the page 'morph' into the next scene without any breaks. For example, the index page layout will 'morph' into the Gallery page, Index is scene 1, Gallery is scene 2. Thing is, I cant seem to go 'backwards' to a previous scene, regardless of what scene I tell flash to goto and play, it always plays the next scene in order. Any suggestions?

Button In MC Won't GoTo Play Frame In Scene
i am fumbling my way through scripting and need help.
I have a button in a movie clip, which is in another movie clip, which is on a layer in my scene. I want that button to go to and play a frame in that scene.

going to that button in the first movie clip and telling it to GoTo and play frame 15 isn't working. I have tried telling it both "curent scene" and the scene's name.

is there some sort of scripting that I need to know to get the movie clip's buttons to control the scene?

Two Buttons: Play X Frames - Then Goto Scene X
Hi everyone

I´m a NEWBIE, so please help me out on this one... Help would be very much APPRECIATED!

Quest:
Lets say I have two buttons.

On the second button I need the same animation to continue for 10 frames -
then move to scene 2.

I would love if u told me the easiest way, cause I´m really not much into code! I tried searching but didn't come up with any answers, I could understand.

Tnx in advance - Miguel

If (whatever="hell Yeah") Goto And Play Scene 2? Won't Work.
Hey guys!
I have a movie clip which is retrieving like 8 different variables. Anyway all of that works fine. What I am trying to do is go to the next scene when all variables read "yes".

I have the variable-reading part correct, because I did a test with a movie clip visibility. If all variables are equaling "yes" the movie clip turns visible. This works fine, so I know it is not a problem with my "if" statements, or my variables.

Any other suggestions? I've tried simply "nextScene" and of course _root.gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1) but to no avail.

THANKS!
I am posting a lot today, LOL.
Life as me trying to do a simple simulation- argh!

Goto Scene
When the end of a movie clip is reached, I want a particular scene to play. So on the last frame of the movie clip, I have:

gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2", 1);

But this doesn't play that "Scene 2" for me. It just plays the same movie clip again. This also happens when I place a button in the movie clip with:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2", 1);
}

How do I get this "Scene 2" to play when that movie clip reaches the end, or when the button is pressed? I hope someone can I'm just a newbie at this... thanks for your help.

I hope you can help me with something:

I want to go from a MC to a Scene and I know how to do it if the Scene I want to go is the First One:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(1);

But the problem is that I want to go to Scene 2 and not to the first one.

I found something like this in this page:

Goto Different Scene.
could somebody please give me the actionscript for making a button goto a different scene. thanks in advance.

Goto SCENE
Hello folks.

I have a file im working on and it consists of two scenes. The first is the intro animation, the second is the main page (buttons and wotnot).

The screens for each button are contained it certain frames in scene 2, frame 1 is the main menu, frame 5 is another menu etc... and each button works by giving a gotoAndStop command.

The problem I am having is that the initial buttons I have work. They are a button object on the main stage (scene2). I am attempting to have animated buttons like in the 'flash source files - icons' example.

This requires that the button be turned into a movieclip, which leaves the button commands on the button inside that MC.

This seems to have totally stopped the gotoAndStop command from working.

I have tried changing it to _root.gotoAndStop but it jumps right back to scene1. How can I get it to do a _root.gotoAndStop for scene2.

There we go, probly very easy.

Thanks guys.

Goto NEW SCENE Simple Ins´t It?

I seems to be simple but I can find the deal

Thanks

Goto Other Scene On Specified Condition
Hi All,

I've create a small "find the 7 differences".
It's 1 scene and 1 frame long. The number of differences found is alse shown.

The code behind the "secret area's" is:
----------------------------------
on (press) {

if (Click1 <> 1) {
Aantal = int(Aantal)+1;
}
}
on (release) {
Click1 = "1";
}
----------------------------------

The frame action is:
----------------------------------
Mouse.hide();
startDrag ("Arrow", true);
----------------------------------

Here's my problem..

When I add a second scene which shows "bravo, bla bla...", I can't get the movie to wait on the first frame of scene1 till the var Aantal = 7 ..

I'm very new to flashscripting (started yesterday) so it's probably a small function I'm overlooking.

The current-application (without scene2) can be seen on:

Goto Is NOT Going To Correct Scene
possibly bug .. dont know.. but:

I have two scenes .. one preloader, one movie.

the preloader does its thing .. sucessfully.

then says

if (getBytesTotal == getBytesLoaded){
nextScene();
}

I have also tried different commands like goto play scene, just good ole 'play()'. The problem is, when the movie DOES goto the next scene .. ANY code in the proper movie that has a 'gotoAndPlay(n)' command doesn't refer by deafult (which it should) .. to the current scene .. it refers to the preloader scene. There is a work around if I point to frame labels .. but I shouldn't have to edit my other movie .. because as you could imagine, some movies have Bajillions of gotoAndPlay refernces .. Any ideas.

[F8] Goto Scene After Xx Seconds Help
Hello, I almost have this working, just need a little help. I have a movie with multiple scenes. I have next and back buttons set up. If noting is clicked, it will automatically change scenes after 12 seconds. My problem is that I want it to move to a specific scene, not just the next scene. As of right now, after 12 seconds it moves to the next scene no matter what scene I specify in the gotoAndPlay command. If anyone could tell me how I can tell it to go to a specific scene I would really appreciate it!

PHP Code:

stop();

var intervalId:Number;
var count:Number = 0;
var maxCount:Number = 0;
var duration:Number = 12000;

function executeCallback():Void {
    gotoAndPlay("Scene 2");
if(count >= maxCount) {
    clearInterval(intervalId);
}
count++;
}

function beginInterval():Void {
    if(intervalId != null) {
        trace("clearInterval");
        clearInterval(intervalId);
    }
    intervalId = setInterval(this, "executeCallback",duration);
