Flash :: Jumping Scenes From Movie Clip

Jumping To Scenes In Another Movie
In a particular SWF I am working on, I have a preloader and an intro screen as one SWF, and then the main part of the piece as another SWF - I want a link that would "jump to" a particular scene in the other SWF - I have tried the gotoandplay command but I cannot get it to work to connect to an outside movie. I have been searching different Flash forums and have not had any luck finding any information.

Jumping Around In A Clip That's In A Movie
Hope I make more sense than my subject title!

OK, just for reference, you are welcome to go to my web site and launch the site....http://www.bluengrey.com/

The whole site is one main movie and when you click on one of the links at the top-right, an external swf is loaded into an invisible clip "myClip"

I'm trying to update the Portfolio section to make it a but easier to use. In the new version (not uploaded) I want each of the buttons in the timeline to (when clicked on) jump forwards or backwards in the timeline of that scene to various frames.

But, I seem to have a problem, whenever I have any instruction that says "goto frame 10" for example, it works the first time, but the next time it triggers the whole of the swf loaded into "myClip" to play through again from the start.

How do I target (for want of a better word) the movie clip in the middle of the page (myClip) to say that I don't want it to go to the start and play through again...I want it to go to a certain scene and a certain frame.

I've tried things like...

on release....

this.gotoAndPlay(scene,frame)

or

_root.myClip.gotoAndPlay(scene,frame)

But to no avail...how do I tell the buttons which are part of that movie clip, to keep things at that scene and just go to the frame I want?

Cheers,

Phil

Movie Clip Action - Jumping To A Frame
Hi,

Why is it that if I have a movieclip in my main timeline with the action:

on (press) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

it works fine.

BUT

if I want this movieclip's action to jump to the nextScene, it doesn't work:

on (press) {
_parent.nextScene();
}

Sooo

Seeing that Scene 1 is only 2 frames long, I change it to:

on (press) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(3);
}

it jumps to Scene 2 fine.

Okay what I am asking is.. why doesn't _parent.nextScene(); work? Why doesn't flash know where to jump to, but when a button is in the main timeline with:

on (press) {
nextScene();
}

it works?

anyone have any idea? or is this just one of the many wonders of flash?

Jumping From Movie Clip, Back To Scene
wussup people?
arite, ive got a flash site in which i have a scene wit a movie clip. now, thing is that i have a back button in the movie clip which when u click, it is suppose to jump back to a navigation bar that is in the scene. but keep in mind at all times that the movie clip is in a layer which is in the scene. i thought it'd work just fine by using the goto and play option for the end of the clip when it finishes, and make it go back to the scene, but instead of going back to the scene, the clip just repeats itself, and goes to the frame within the clip, which is actually meant for the scene frame that it is suppose to go to..
sounds confusing, but... yea.. any suggestions?

Urgent::movie Clip Help Jumping To A Frame Label
I need help with my actionscript because I am unable to embed movies and then once they are finished playing have the script take me to the main timeline and play a new movie or play a new frame label.

Here is the layout of my movie:
In scene 1 I have frames 1-9 labeled "why" and frames 10-19 labeled "experience."

Under the "why" label, there are two layers, each containing a movie clip: "background and "why." Once the "why" movie clip is finished playing, I want to have the movie start playing at frame 10, labeled "experience."

I tried putting the following script at the end of the "why" movie:
stop();
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", "experience");

but all that does is play my movie -- the background and why clips play, but then the why clip repeats over and over again instead of stopping and jumping to the main timeline's frame 10, labeled "expereience"

Can someone help me quickly please.....I'm working on a project that I need to move ahead on ASAP. Thanks so much.

Jumping Scenes
Hi there,

in order to jump around between scenes within my movie, I have been using the following bit of code.

_root.gotoAndPlay("theFrameLabelYouUseGoesHere");

I have added a frame label and it is working fine.

However...

I now want to jump to a specific frame number within a different scene, so how can I do that?

I thought that it might be something along the lines of

_root.gotoAndPlay("theFrameLabelYouUseGoesHere", 3);

but that doesn't seem to be working.

So what's the secret???

Thanks for your time

Scenes Are Jumping
Hey everyone.

I'm building a website in Flash and I'm putting each seperate page on it's own scene. So then each page links back to Scene 1, which is the home page. From there you can go from Scene 2, 3, 4, and 5. So far, I have two pages plus the home page, so 3 scenes. When I click to go the first page (scene 2) it jumps to scene 3 which I just built. It didn't do this before I had scene 3 built, however. How can I stop this??

HELP...jumping Between Scenes.
OK guys and girls, I need help.

I have a movie with two scenes.

In scene 2 I have a button within a clip (because I need to hide the button when the user 1st accesses the page).

When the button does appear in frame 1 of scene 2, and I click it, it keeps taking me
back to frame 3 of the first scene rather than frame 3 of the current scene (2).

I thought I hade to use:

on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(3);
}

because the button is embedded within a clip. But no......

Im desperate.....please help!

thanks

Jumping Between Frames/scenes
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:

Problem With Jumping Between Scenes
Hi everyone, I'm a complete newbie to Flash and am working on a project where you have multiple choices, and with each choice you jump to a different scene. The problem I'm having is that, regardless of what script I have associated with my buttons, it jumps to the next scene in the list instead of the scene I provided in the script.

For example, I have this as the action script on a button:

on(release){
gotoAndPlay("BlueOrange",1);
}

And instead of jumping to the scene named "BlueOrange" on click it jumps to the next scene in the list.

This has to be something simple that I just can't figure out! Thank you all for your help!

Jumping Between Scenes Through Keypress - HELP
Dear all.

I have the following at scene 1, frame 15:

--------------------------------------------------
stop();
keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function()
{
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP))
{
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2",1); } else {

stop();
}
}
Key.addListener(keyListener);
--------------------------------------------------

During my first run of the movie, it works well, and goes to scene 2, frame 1 when I press UP.

Now, at Scene 2, last frame, I have the following:

gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 2);

It actually plays from frame 1 till 15..and continues, but doesnt wait for my keypress anymore. It's as if I have already pressed the UP key. Whats the problem?

Please help.. running a tight deadline here. All help appreciated. Thanks!!

A Button Jumping To Different Scenes
Hey I created my flash website with Multiple scenes for each category/page. The problem I am having is placing the movie inside of a Button. When I put the movie clip inside of the button (I wanted a cool rollover effect) it won't jump to the frame, but before I put the movie clip in the button it would goto the correct frame. Now the code for the Movie clip is:

stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
};
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
play();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
};

and when I remove the section of this.onRollOut and onRollOver the button works fine, but then the button doesn't have a rollover effect. Can someone help me

i dont know if it makes a difference but the navigation buttons are on a movie clip which pops up over the main stage...if that makes sense, that flash file is huge i didnt want to attach the whole thing...

please if someone can help it'll be really appreciated

XML Menu - Jumping To Different Scenes
I've been playing around with this one for a while, but I'm not a programmer and seem to be going around in circles.
I'm trying to use the XML dropdown menu to jump to different scenes within the flash file, but all I seem to be able to get it to do is reload the movie from the start.

This is a line from the XML file -

Code:
<item name="Line" action="loadScene" variable="line"/>
And this is the bit I added to the AS -

Code:
Actions.loadScene = function(sceneVar){
gotoAndPlay("sceneVar" , 1);
};
Not really sure why this is not working.. Any suggestions??

Scrollpane And Jumping To Scenes
I had on a page about 6 logos with invisible buttons over, which when pressed jumped to a new scene. My partner said why can't you make it tidier and make them scroll? can't be that difficult!!!

So now I pulling my hair out. The logos are now in a movie clip in the library (not in a folder), then placed inside a scrollpane, the scrolling works ok but the buttons that worked ok before now don't?

Sample button actionscript that work previously:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("webOCF", 1);
}

"webOCF" is the scene name
"1" is the frame number

I've tried

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("_root.webOCF", 1);
}

but that doesn't work either.

Has anyone got any suggestions before I go totally bald.

Problem Jumping Between Scenes
Hey,

I'm having some trouble getting my movie to jump between scenes. I have two scenes (imaginatively called Scene1 and Scene2). I have the following code:

Code:

onClipEvent (data) {
_root.imName = image;
if(image == "") {
_root.gotoAndPlay("looper");
}
else {
_root.imName = "I'm in the else -- But Not going to the next scene :(";
_root.gotoAndPlay("scene1", 1);
}
}

The dynamic text field shows the message "I'm in the else..." so I know it's definitely getting there, it just wont change scene. I have tried:

Code:

nextScene();
_root.nextScene();
gotoAndPlay("scene1", 1);
gotoAndPlay("Scene1", 1);
_root.gotoAndPlay("scene1", 1);
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene1", 1);

and none of these seem to work!! Anyone have any idea where I'm going wrong?

i've got a little cut-scene in the end of my main scene where a "shutter" closes over my interface.

the nav. buttons on the bottom of my interface let you go from scene to scene...

I want the a particular nav button to advance the main scene to the next set of frames (the cut scene) and then load the scene that corresponds to it.

this is what i have for the button right now... it doesn't work... maybe it's not correct actionscript, maybe it's going down the wrong path altogether....

on (release) {gotoAndPlay(81);

if (_currentframe=108) {gotoAndPlay(login,1);

I wish to have a button which, when clicked on, gets told to jump to frame 15 and play for 5 frames, then jump to scene 2. The problem is, I need the actionscript to reside in only the frame that contains the button (no actionscript at frame 20, you know)

Is this possible?

Movie Clip Won't Navigate To Other Scenes
I have a navigation bar made up of several buttons. This navigation bar is a movie clip that resides in the root movie.

Each button has the following code attached to it:

on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("Logging On", 1)
}

where "Logging On" is the name of the scene and is different for each button.

Anyways, the problem is that it isn't working at all. If I place a button and similiar code by itself in the main movie, it works, but not when nested in this navigation bar.

I've also tried _root as well, no luck.

Am I missing something completely obvious?
