replay_btn.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndplay("welcome","Page1");
}

or

replay_btn.onRelease = function() {
replay_btn.gotoAndplay("welcome","Page1");
}

or

replay_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndplay("welcome","Page1");
}

when users click on reply button I want users to start from slide in scene 'welcome' with frame named 'Page1'. I don't know AS much at all and been looking on this forum for help but can't find any post.

Both the AS and replay button are in movie symbol . I also tried to copy and paste the code in main timeline but no results.

Please help

thanks

1087 Error From Trying To Access A Button Inside A Symbol
Hey All,

I've been getting a 1087 error with regards to my attempts to access a button inside a symbol which is being referenced by a ScrollPane Component.

The basic idea is for the user to click a button in the symbol scrollable symbol, that in turn affects a movie clip outside the symbol and ScrollPane. The code I am using is as follows.

Code:
// infoPaneMC is the movie clip outside the ScrollPane that I am trying
// to activate. In a perfect world, pressing the button below would
// cause it to slide into frame (or halfway through its timeline)
infoPaneMC.stop();

// scrolltest is the movie clip symbol referenced by the ScrollPane
// 1800_R_Button is the button inside scrolltest
scrollTest.1800_R_Button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,startClip);
function startClip(e:MouseEvent) {
infoPaneMC.play();
}

// This code is what I am using to close infoPaneMC by playing it
// out from its halfway mark
infoPaneMC.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,startClip2);
function startClip2(e:MouseEvent) {
infoPaneMC.gotoAndPlay("infoPanePause");
}
However I keep getting the following error:

1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.

The line it refers me back to is:

Code:
scrollTest.1800_R_Button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,startClip);

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Putting One Movie Inside Another
I was wondering if it is possible to create a flash movie in one part of the screen, so as to allow zooming on only that part. For example, I have a map on the upper left portion of the movie. On the right I have several buttons, and at the bottom there are descriptions and links. I want the user to be able to zoom in on the map portion without having the buttons and descriptive text be zoomed in also. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I thought that it might not be possible using just Flash? Is that right? Will I have to use Dreamweaver in conjunction? I would much prefer to do it solely in Flash.

Thanks in advance.

Putting A Command Inside A Graphic
I'm sure this has already been asked, but I did search for it and was unable to find the answer.

With that said, I was wondering how to put an actionscript that commands a specific graphic to do something rather than the whole movie.

For example, if I had a graphic that had three frames, and I wanted there to be a button that, when clicked, proceeded to Frame 2 in the GRAPHIC, how would the actionscript be? When placing the button inside the graphic, I put the actionscript

Code:
on(release){
gotoAndStop(2);
}
But what this does is go to the second frame in the whole movie. How would I make it so it went to the second frame in the graphic?

Thanks for your help.

Putting A Game Inside One Big Movieclip
I'm using the script below on a movie clip that moves and interacts with other movie clips. the movie clip the script is applied to is on it's own keyframe on the timeline in the main scene. now, i want to put everything i just made (the movie clip the script is applied to and the movie clips it interacts with) into one big movie clip so i can easily put it on a flash based website. I'm pretty sure the "_root." has to be changed but I'm not quite sure what to change it to

onClipEvent (load) {
power = .35;

yspeed = 0;
xspeed = 0;
friction = 0.95;

Putting Buttons Inside Loaded SWFs
Hi,

Ok here's the situation:

I've got a host file into which I'm loading SWFs into a target.

I need to put buttons in the SWF but the entired loaded movie seems to act like a button i.e. the hand comes up as soon as I float the mouse over the target area.

I've tested this outside my project and I works. The button is hot and does what its supposed to do. However in my completed project I get the problem above.

Does this have to do with the publish settings?

Putting Components Inside A ScrollPane Component
This is just wonderful - the Flash 8 Actionscript Bible shows this cool scrollPane with components inside of it and then doesn't tell the reader how to accomplish such a thing.

Since the scrollPane only allows for 3 types of content: movie clips, external swfs and jpegs, to get another component inside of one, I assume I have to put it inside a movie clip, and set it to export at runtime, right?

Please Help Question About Putting An Animation Into Html.
Im ready to toss the monitor out the window here.
This is my problem. I am building a flash intro. In my html, there is a table with 3 rows and 3 columns. In the middle, row 2 column 2, sits the flash animation. The image or flash animation area is supposed to be 300x300. So I make my flash animation movie size 300x300. When I publish the damn thing and bring it in, and view it in the browser, the flash animation is down by a pixel! Always down one pixel. I've tried to move the background down to match it, then the animation is up a pixel! Im going crazy here...why is the animation always off by a pixel????
Some for the love of god help me please!

Putting Waveform Data Inside Of A Movie Clip
Hi guys,

How would you go about putting waveform data from a sound file inside of a movie clip so I can position it on the stage? I'm pretty sure this code is wrong, and I'm using the code from Lee's tutorial:

var holder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

holder.x = 1000;
holder.y = 200;

var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("shift.mp3"));
s.play(0, 1000);

var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();

holder.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);

function loop(e:Event):void
{
graphics.clear();
graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
graphics.moveTo(-1, 150);
SoundMixer.computeSpectrum(ba);
for(var i:uint=0; i<256; i++)
{
var num:Number = -ba.readFloat()*200 + 150;
graphics.lineTo(i*2, num);
}
graphics.lineTo(512, 300);
graphics.lineTo(0, 300);
graphics.lineTo(-1, 150);
}

addChild(holder);

I tried creating the movieclip, positioning it, and adding it to the display list but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Putting Clickable Thumbnail Buttons Inside Scroll Movieclip
Hey everyone,

I have this problem with my image gallery in Flash MX 2004.
I try to put clickable thumbnails vertically inside a Scroll Movieclip.

When the images are not yet converted to symbol Movieclip, but are just buttons
they work fine. But problem is that my scroll doesn't work of course because this scroll needs to scroll the thumbnails, but before i can do that i have to convert the thumbnails to Movieclip. As soon as i convert them together to Movieclip they stop working but i can scroll now.

Could anyone please please tell me how to make it both work? Thanks so much. I added the .FLA file so please help me out thank you!

DynamicText Inside A MovieClip(Symbol)
I need some hep with the actionscript...
i am trying to make a Flash Movie with dynamically loaded text(from a .txt file).
I have successfully achived this by adding the cod

"
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("dyText.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.dyText;
};

"

This code works fine when i use it on the Main Movie i.e when my DynamicTextBox and the ActionFrame is on the Main Movie.

But when i add a MovieClip Symbol in my Flash Movie and place my DynamicTextBox and ActionFrame inside that movie clip then it doesnt works.

I mean to say that i dont want the text box on the Main Movie. I want it in a Symbol(MovieClip)

Please guide me what changes should i make in code to make that work.

Aligning Stuff Inside Symbol
i created button symbol A and button symbol B
A and B are different shaped and sized item
i want to make the OVER part for both symbol a text that lands on the same location on the stage

whenever i set the x and y to the same number, it doesn't seem to work cause symbol A and B have a different centre point.

paste in place doesnt work for the same reason

i can't align it to anything on the stage either cause whenever i click into the button, i can only align the things that are inside.

there must be a way to do it...but i cant seem to figure it out.
many thanks to those who can help!

SimpleButton Inside MovieClip Symbol

Then swap panels at will that bring the buttons along with the panel so all I have to do is call..panel1 = new panelOne; panel2 = new PanelTwo, etc...If I create a class for each button with its functionally built in how can I access the button from the panel? I figure I have to import the buttons in the panel class before it will work? I tried panel1.getChildAt(x) but that didn't seem to work. Do I have to dynamically add the buttons as children to be able to access them with actionscript.

Thanks!

Animation - Turn Symbol On/Off?
Hi guys,

I'm animating a face I made in Photoshop. I have 2 different mouths, each on their own layer. One mouth is open, one mouth is closed.

I would like to turn one mouth off, and then the other on. So at a certain keyframe, the mouths switch places. This makes it look like the mouth popped open.

So, I guess I make both mouths into symbols. But how do I turn the symbol off at a keyframe?

Thanks

[CS4] Convert Animation To Symbol
I'm still getting accustomed to the new Flash interface, and this has got me stumped.
I've got three layers in the main timeline, one motion tween and two armature tweens. In CS3, you could copy any number of frames in any layer and paste them to a Movie Clip, but for the life of me, I can't figure this out in CS4 - the pose layers just don't want to copy or paste.

Is it something to do with Tween Span keyframes being "properties" rather than regular keyframes? Am I just selecting them wrong?

Anyone else had this problem? Maybe figured it out?

Much appreciated,
