Flash :: How Do I Make A Button Go To A Frame In Another MC?

Actionscript To Make A Button Move From Frame To Frame
I'm trying to take a Powerpoint Presentation and put it into Flash. The problem is that I im not sure how I can get a mouse click to advance to the next frame. I want a user to click on the Flash item and go from frame 1 to frame 2 and so on and so on. What would be the best way to do this so it looks and acts like a Powerpoint presentation.

Thanks

Make Button Go To Certain Frame Depending On What Frame Movie Is On?
I want to be able to tell a button to go to a certain frame depending on what frame the movie is on. In this flash file, I have a piece of paper moving to the top of the screen, two pieces of tape coming to tape it up, and then writing on the paper. I want to make it that if someone has already clicked on a link, and the paper and everything is on the top of the page, that the next link they click on, just goes to the frame where the writing for the page begins, and not have the paper and tape again and vice versa...

I hope this makes sense...

Button To Make The Movie Go To The Next Frame
Kay, hehe I have a series of frames and layers. Layer 1 has the background image, layer two has the only part of the movie that changes, and layer 3 is for the buttons ( I used the component push button and gave one an action to go to the next frame, and the other to go to the previous frame) so how I'm hoping it should work, is the background stays, and as the user clicks the buttons it switches the images on layer 2. But it doesn't do this at all,, it just plays the movie and the images scroll thru as it were a movie. How do I make it so that the movie only moves frame by rame when the user clicks the button forward or backward?

[F8] Button To Make Graphic Appear In Frame
Hi!

Bit of a newbie to actionscript, but hey it is a big old language!

I'm fine with on(release) to take to a new frame etc but this is my situation.

Imagine a Windows PC. You click the Start Button, it makes the start menu appear, no matter what folder/window/software you have open. Now liken it to a flash movie. Interactive, to make a button to make a set of graphics appear in a set place on the frame.

Hope you guys can help thanks.

How Can I Make It Skip To A Frame On Hovering Over A Button

Make Button Go To Different Frame In Same Button?
Hey all!

I'm wondering if its possible to add an action to a button where on release it would go to a farther down frame in the button itself.

So if I put something in say frame 7 of a button when I clicked the button it would go to frame 7 of that button.

The reason I'm doing this is that on release I want the button to keep the same appearance as it does on rollover if they roll off. Also I don't want the on release action I assigned to that button available again if they click it.

So essentially what I'm trying to do but cant' find is a way to target the timeline in a button. I don't know if I can do this.

So also if there's maybe a better/different way to do this that'd be cool too.

Oh yeah I'm also using Flash 5.

Thanks!!

How Do I Make A Button In A MC Go To And Play A Frame Label In The Main Movie?
Basically I'm making a MC symbol that contains a bunch of moving buttons. On the buttons I put the action:

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

where "pow" is the frame label I want the movie to go to. On this frame is a stop action.

If I just drag out an instance of the button it seems to work fine, but the buttons that are "inside" the MC don't work.

What am I overlooking?

Thanks,

Help:make Button Play Frame From Seperate Movie Symbol
I am trying to make an animation for my TEE Physics class as we are going to do a report & talk on something. For some strange reasons I chose airconditionares

so the intro to this animation is of side on view of an airconditionare (really scabby looking) with what is meant to be ribbons hanging off it. in the center is a "controller" basically a square with airconditionre control written on it and a button saying "on"

all of the ribbons are copies of a movie symbol and i want to make it so that when the on button is pressed then the ribbon movie symbols will go to frame 2 and start fluttering in the breeze.

My problem is that my limited knowlede of scripting animations is makes it so that i have no idea how to do this

I've tried searching for help but can't find any.

thnx in advance for any help I get

Problems Making Button Make Movie Clip Move Frame
Hi i hope someone can help. I have a button on my stage which makes a noise when you press it. I would also like each press of the button to move a movie clip to its next frame. In total the movie clip has four frames.
I have tried lots of ways but can;t get it to work. Can't post the code here as do not have flash installed on this computer. Basically what I am doing is dragging the movieclip onto the stage. The first movieclip frame is blank and putting a stop action.
On the button i am saying, on release ...
clip.nextframe;
but nothing is happening. should I not have the movie clip already on the stage or is there more I should do. please help?

Trying To Make Movie Play Frame X To Frame Y Then Switch To Frame Z..
Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me out with an issue I'm having. I have my flash on multiple scenes, and would like to play an animation when clicking on the navigation button before switching to a different scene.

I'm halfway to accomplishing this.

Here is what i used

Code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("changepage1");
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._currentframe=="changepage2"){
gotoAndPlay("Home2",1);
}

}
The above code is on a blank keyframe. Changepage1 is the start of the animation and Changepage2 is the end of the animation.

Upon clicking the navigation button it plays the above scenes.

However it doesn't change scenes to scene "Home2".

Thank you in advance for all your replies.

Fastest Way To Make Frame By Frame Animation?
My problem is pretty simple.

I have converted animated sprites straight from a game to animate in flash. The problem is that when I was converting them, it turned all the frames of the gifs into seperate files.

So I want to know what is the fastest way to import 100+ gifs into a single movieclip or graphic on flash. (when I try importing all of them at the same time, it just stacks them all in the same frame)

A few trains of thought I've had...
1) Get a program that can turn a bunch of images straight into a single animated gif and import that. I wouldn't know of such a program that could do that automatically. (if I wanted to do it manually with fireworks or something, I could might as well just do it on flash)
2) Maybe flash has a feature allowing me to distribute all the images that I import over frames.
3) Flash might have another feature similar to photoshop's actions to process batch stuff. I could have the action be, move up one frame, make a keyframe, import image, align the image, and then do the whole thing over again with the next image. (I tried this in Image Ready but it doesn't work very well)

Well so far none of these work.

Any suggestions?

Can I Make The Last Frame Of My Movie Clip Say "parent Next Frame"?
I am just learning flash so maybe I'm real stupid but I'm doing a slide show where each slide comes onto the stage in a different way so every pick has it's own animated mask layer in a movie clip which sits on the stage in a single frame on scene 1.
I want the last frame of the movie clip to say something like _parent, gotoandplay (scene 2);
I am using a load of tutorials but can't find any reference to this and thought it would be a pretty simple hack of some code I already used...

Any ideas?

How To Address A Button On The 5th Frame Of A Movie Clip With Action Script Located On The First Frame Of The Main Time
I'm trying to make a button appear on frame 10 of a movie clip and write actionscript on the main time line that addresses that frame 10 button. I'm not sure of the method I need to do to get that frame 10 button to get a url. I tested the same button when put on frame 1 and it worked, but I'm not sure how to address buttons and other symbols that appear as a result of the playhead moving to different places on movie clip time lines.

Can anyone help, or give me a link?

Thanks
Dennis

Flash Button To Take Movie Clip To The Next Frame Label Instead Of The Next Frame
I am trying to figure out how to create a button to take a movie clip to the next Frame Label instead of just to the next Frame.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Needing To Go To Frame & Then Frame In Movie From One Button
Hello

My main timeline has a login movie clip. When someone enters the corect user name and password i want them taken to another frame on the same timeline.
On that frame I have a 'content' movie with a few labeled keyframes on its timeline.

So I want to be able to jump to a frame on the main timeline and to a frame on a 'nested' timeline all in the click of a button!

Here is my button action script:

on (release){
if (tUserEnter.text == "XXXXX" && tPasswordEnter.text == "XXXXX"){
this.gotoAndStop("_root.clients");

}

Ok, so this goes to the frame I want but what do I add to go to a frame within a movie on that frame?

Thanks for any help

How Can I Make A Link To A Certain Frame In A MC

Can a regular hyperlink button, go to a specific mc in a swf file?
