Flash :: Scene Jumping Trouble - Could Someone Check This Out?

Jumping From Scene To Scene Using Buttons
Hello, I am new to flash and am trying to create a movie to be accessed on cd-rom. I have read many of the posts looking for an answer to my question about scenes but haven't found an answer yet. I used a modified button movie that I found on flash kit and am trying to use the buttons to jump to different scenes. I am planning on having 5 different scenes (the intro movie scene and 1 for each button). My problem is that I am not having any luck jumping from the intro movie to the next scene. I know that this is difficult to answer without seeing the movie. I would be extremely grateful if someone would be willing to look at the file and give me some advice.

Thanks

Script For Jumping From Scene To Scene.

Is it possible to jump from one scene (scene A) to the next (scene B) using a frame action within a movieclip thats in scene A?

Can anyone help me?

Jumping Between Scene's
Hi All,

I've nearly finished my new game, which has several levels.
Each level is constructed in a new scene. Each level has the same mc for your remaining life, which has the code:

onClipEvent (load) {
lifestarty = this._y;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._y >= (lifestarty+this._height)) {
_root.gotoAndStop(4);
}
}

where frame (4) is the YOU LOSE part of the game.
Each time you get shot, a piece of code,

_root.lifemeter.lifelevel._y += _root.difficulty;

makes the life bar go down by the value "difficulty".
this works fine in level 1, but if you die in level 2, the life bar jumps back to the top and takes areas of level 1 and 2, jumbles them all up, and continues to play until the second time your life runs out, when you are taken to frame 4 of scene 1 !!!????

WHY?!

Cheers, Dongle.

Scene Jumping
I am having trouble with a simple action script. I have two buttons, one to move forward a scene and one to move back a scene.

Backward button script:

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

Forward button Script

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("3", 1);
}

The forward button works fine. But the backward button does not function properly. In fact the backward button moves forward to the next scene!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jumping To A New Scene From A Mc
I am sure this is an easy one, but I am still learning, so I have no idea. I have a movie clip that has a button in it. The movie clip is placed in the root timeline. When the user presses the button, I want the playhead to jump to the next scene.

Here is the code I am using.
on (press) {_root.gotoAndPlay("Students",1);

}

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help.

Jumping To Scene
what code would I write to make a button in one scene jump to begining of next scene.

Having Trouble Jumping To Different Frames
I've searched the help section over and over again and still haven't found what I'm looking for. I'm pretty sure it's something simple.

I have 2 movies. When the user clicks on button 1 (within movie 1) I want movie 2 to load, play the first 15 frames and then jump to the frame labeled button 1.

If the user clicks on button 2 in movie 1 then I want movie 2 to load, play the first 15 frames and then jump to the frame labeled button2, etc.

I'm pretty sure a variable needs to passed so movie 2 knows which button was pressed in movie 1, but I don't know howe to do this. Can someone please help me?

Thanks in advance.

Jumping To The Wrong Scene
Hi there! On the website I am creating, when you drag a movie clip (which contains a button) onto a target area you should jump to a new scene. Here is the action script I am using to achieve this...
***
on (press) {
startDrag ("");
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (getProperty ( "/sold1", _droptarget ) eq "/target") {
tellTarget ("/") {
gotoAndPlay ("AboutMe", 1);
}
}
}
***

This works great with my first button. However, when I insert similar code to a second button (which should be jumping to a different scene) it will always jump to the same scene as the other button ("About Me"). Here's the action script for the second button...

***
on (press) {
startDrag ("");
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (getProperty("/sold2", _droptarget) eq "/target") {
tellTarget ("/") {
gotoAndPlay ("Credentials", 1);
}
}
}
***

Anyone have an idea of why this is happening. When the second button is dragged onto the target area, it should jump to the scene "Credentials", but instead the surfer is taken to "About Me" everytime. What could be the problem?

Thanks for any help you can provide...

Log In Jumping To Wrong Scene
Hi.

I have a log in screen, using asp, and there is a frame which indicates which scene it should skip to, should the log in be successful. However, when published, it decides to ignore this and skips to the scene after it, and then this scene does not work properly either. There is a stop command on the scene it is meant to go to (so its not skipping past it) and I have doubled check the naming of the scenes.. help!!

Jumping To A Scene Within A Movie?
On my "home" scene (as well as every other) I have a movie clip I have created with a drop down menu for navigation. The buttons within this drop down menu need to enable the user to go to another "scene" when clicked on. Whenever the button is clicked, (it's coded with go to andplay ("interiors", 1) ) Flash jumps back to frame 1 within that current scene. Why does this happen, why can't it recognize to jump to another scene just because it's a button in a movie clip?
Thanks much!!!

Jumping To Next Scene From Within A Movie
Hi,
I have a movie with multiple scenes. I want to navigate to a different scene using a button that is embedded inside a movie. I tired the "gotoAndPlay(scnene name, frame number)" command. But it only works if the button is outside the movie on the main timeline (i.e. topmost level).

Is there a solution to this problem?

Jumping To A New Scene From Inside A MC
hello, please help if you can.

I'm in a MC (_root.myMC) in scene_1 and want to jump to frame 1 in another scene (scene_2) on the click of my button - could anyone please tell me the code I need to make this jump?

thanks, johne.

Bug With Accidental Scene Jumping
OK, a quick bit of info to start:

I have a movie comprised of 4 scenes (the preloader, the base scene, and then two independant sections)

I'm pretty sure that the preloader isn't loading first, despite their order in the scene list, but that's not the problem, the problem is that a simple bit of code in "Scene2" jumps to "Scene3" without there being any call for it.

Here is the code that fails to work:

Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+2);
}

These following codes, however, do have the desired effect without jumping the other scene:

Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(27);
}

//And//

on (release) {
nextFrame();
nextFrame();
}

As you can see, I want a button to jump ahead two frames. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of, but I will later need a button that jumps ahead more than 2 frames (like, 13 frames)

I also need one that goes back a set number of frames, and I don't want to be using 13 prevFrame() codes! Wrong! I also haven't figured out how or why it would be jumping to another scene - there is only one button in the entire movie that tells "Scene3" to load, and it's in the "Base" scene! And just to make myself look totally stupid, I'll tell you that there is no action in the "_currentframe+2" of "Base" or anything like that which would load "Scene3".

Make sense? Didn't think so. Help!! Please!

Thanks a bundle.

Jumping To A Scene Problem.
I have a movie with 4 scenes. I have a very small animation that plays on the 4th scene. I am trying to make my replay button work (which is on the 4th scene) so that when it is pressed, it simply replays scene 4 so I can see the animation go through again.

The problem I am having is when I put in the code and press my replay button, it goes to scene 1. I just want it to replay scene 4.

I have used varying codes found on forums like this and it just doesnt seem to work. I have posted the FLA below and if anyone would be so kind as to help me out, I would really appreciate it.

The coding I have tried is

on (press) {
gotoAndPlay('Scene 4', '1');
}

and I have tried to use a framelabel

on(press) {
gotoAndStop("framelabel");
}

Jumping From Part Way Through 1 Scene To Another - Help
hi all,

basically all i'm trying to do, is -

when scene 1 gets to a certain frame, jump to scene 2, there is more of scene 1 after the frame at which i want it to make the jump, and no matter what i do, the current scene seems to continue on to the end before it makes the jump to the scene i'm telling it to!

i'm typing in...

_root.gotoAndPlay("scene2framelabel");

in my "scripts" layer on the frame at which i want the current scene (scene 1)to stop, and scene2 to begin. there is more of scene1 after the above script, and no matter what i try, it seems to always play the rest of scene1, as if its just ignoring the actionscript in the frame.

what am i doing wrong!!!

(i've also just tried

gotoAndPlay("Scene2",1) etc.. but to no avail, help!!)

many thanks

Scene Jumping Within Movieclip

but the movie clip ignores it and loops. Any advice? Thanks!

Flash Help - Jumping Scene
I have created a movie that is supposed to load a movie clip for transition purposes and then automatically move on to another movie without the user clicking on a button. At the same time I have created an external preloader using the "myMCL.loadClip." I have been successful in loading the transition (that's easy enough) but not to load any other movies using the external preloader. I am trying to avoid running an internal preloader per movie, hense the external preloader, but it's not working. I tried "_level0.myMCL.loadClip("movie.swf",_root);" where level 0 the preloader loads but the rest is not happening.

Any thoughts on this one? Thank you.

Jumping To Different Scene From _child
Hi, I have set up a slide-in style nav bar that I want to include throughout all my scenes. It is a symbol containing buttons with actionscript on each. When I place it in a scene, I can manage to get the buttons to skip to different frames on that scene, but I actually need it to jump to different scenes.
on (press) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(20);
}
This successfully jumps to frame 20 of the scene

BUT

on (press) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("contact",1);
}
doesn't work at all.

Any clues - thanks in advance, this is driving me a little crazy.

Jumping To Different Levels Within One Scene
Okay, I am trying to do something that has worked for me in the past, but I am hitting some sort of wall in the functionallity of the destination or target...

I have a scene several layers deep. and I want to get a button I have to take me to a very specific frame of a specific layer. However in this case it gives as usual choices (i.e. previous scene, next scene, scene 1...etc.) I have trie to name frames but have been unsuccessful. Could someone offer me some advice...I think I have exhausted my options.

for example
Scene1 / mini / marble ...want to get from frame 30 in "MC"Marble to Frame 135 in "MC"mini through the use of a 'back' button...It's worked before...

Thanks,
Ambientdin

Trouble With Jumping Text When I Paste It
Hi.
I have a problem that has been bugging me for a long time now... It´s nothing crucial but it´s really getting on my nerves now. So if anyone can help, please respond.

Heres what happends:
1. I Place my first text where I want it to be.
2. When I want to edit the first text I copy+paste a new text from another document to replace the first text
3. The text then suddenly jumps to a new location, centered to the stage
This happens even if the text is placed within an mc or a tween.

Any ideas?

Jumping To Specific Places In A Second Scene
Hi all,

see if you can get your head around this one...

- I have a multiscene movie

- in scene 1 I have 8 menu items

- scene two begins with an intro

- each menu item should first run the intro...

- and then go to the corresponding item

- the item (a text box in a movie clip) then opens up on the main stage for all to view

so to recap:

if I click on the menu item 'contact' in scene 1..it runs the intro in scene 2 and then jumps to the movie clip with the text box in it....or so it should.....but I've been at it all day....and still have no clue how.....surely there should be some script for doing this?

hopefully yours

Jumping To Another Scene Once All Movies Are Played. HELP

Jumping To A New Scene -- Problems In MX 2004
I'm overlooking something simple -- but what?

I have a scene that has a control layer with a "stop" command at the last frame. I have a button in another layer that is supposed to have the users jump to the next scene (called credit). Here's the code for the "jump"

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

When I test the movie -- nothing happens (except a few error messages). I'm new to MX 2004 -- am I doing something wrong here -- it used to work in my previous version of Flash.

(Also, what happened to the nice little wizzard they used to have in action script that would prompt you along with a sort-of fill in the blank interface?)

thanks for any help!

Problem Jumping To Scene With Button
It seems this would be a simple problem to solve, but I'm completely stumped. From sceneA, I have a button to get to sceneB.

So, currently, my button on scene A is scripted as such:

code: on (release) {
loadMovieNum("sceneB.swf", 0);
}

which works just fine. The problem comes when I want the button to take me to a specific frame in sceneB. I thought I could solve this by scripting
code:
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay ("sceneB", frame#)
}

But when I test this, the button simply replays sceneA. I have also tried this with frame labels, but the same thing happens. Offhand can anybody give me a reason why this is happening and how I can fix it? I've been poring over this for a couple days now testing out any and every scripting code I think will work, but nothing has...

Jumping To Next Scene Ina Movie Without A Button

Trouble With Mouse Jumping To Center Of Drag Box
Okay, gonna keep trying on this super cool forum . . .

So I have a big map and an inset map. When you use the zoom slider a "frame" appears in the inset box to show where on the map you are. You can drag the frame around the inset and it updates in the big map. The problem is that it isn't quite accurate. And if you click anywhere BUT the exact center of the frame on the inset and start dragging then the frame jumps to center on the mouse and doesn't quite update on the big map.

I am NOT using StartDrag but rather some code I adapted from senocular's website fla's (www.umbc.edu/interactive).

This is the code on the inset map:

PHP Code:

onClipEvent (load) {
    bounds = {L:-51.7, R:51.7, T:-69, B:69};
}
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
    if (this.frame.dragging) {
                    frame._x = Math.min(Math.max(_xmouse-offset[0], bounds.L), bounds.R);
        frame._y = Math.min(Math.max(_ymouse-offset[1], bounds.T), bounds.B);
        updateAfterEvent();
    }
}
onClipEvent (load) {
    scale = 1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    s = 100*100/_root.scale;
    // reverse scale
    _root.map.center._x = -this.frame._x*scale;
    _root.map.center._y = -this.frame._y*scale;
    // position based on this 10% scale
    this.frame._xscale = frame._yscale=s*scale;
    // scale to reverse
}

And this is the code on the drag button underneath the inset map:

PHP Code:

on(press){
    // set dragging of frame to true
    minimap.frame.dragging = true
    // calculate offset from center - relative to scale of map
    minimap.frame.offset = [minimap.minicenter._xmouse* 100/minimap.minicenter._xscale,minimap.minicenter._ymouse* 100/minimap.minicenter._xscale]
}
on(release,releaseOutside){
    // set dragging of map to false
    minimap.frame.dragging = false
}

Any suggestions?

Mvie Clip Conditonnaly Jumping To Next Scene?
Hi,
I'm making a little shooting game wich has a timer. The timer is a movie clip that's dropped on to the main stage.

I want to jump to the next scene when the the countdown reaches 0, but the timer simply dissapears and the game continues without jumping to the next scene. Here's the code from the countdown movie clip to check the condition ("output" being the value of the countdown):

if (output < 1) {
gotoAndStop ("Scene 3", 1);
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("loopstart");
}

If i just put:
gotoAndPlay ("loopstart");
the counter coutinues couting down negatively.

Maybe the code to check the condition should be in the main stage? I tried to do that but couldn't figure out how.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i dont understand why its doin that?

Jumping To Specific Frames Within 1 Scene And Playing (help Please)
I have one scene with many frames, and i want to jump to a series of different frames within the time line (in this case, frames: 2,86,171,256,341,426,511)

and then play from there. So at start of movie it will start in a different random position and play through, in order - then looping.

I have this but I know it is totally wrong, it wasn't designed to do what I want:

Quote:

// define a array with all your previously defined labels
labelarray=[2,86,171,256,341,426,511];

// calculate a random index for this array
randomidx = random(labelarray.length);

// jump to the label at the random index
gotoAndPlay(labelarray[randomidx]);

Any help greatly appreciated

I'm sure it can't be that hard... but I've had no luck and been trying for a while now

EDIT (this is something else I came with, hat doesnt work either...)

Quote:

num = Math.floor(Math.random() * (6 - 1)) + 1;

//Depending on which random number
//was chosen, go to a flash scene
if (num = 0)
{
gotoAndPlay(2)
}
if (num = 1)
{
gotoAndPlay(86)
}
if (num = 2)
{
gotoAndPlay(171)
}
if (num = 3)
{
gotoAndPlay(256)
}
if (num = 4)
{
gotoAndPlay(341)
}
if (num = 5)
{
gotoAndPlay(426)
}
if (num = 6)
{
gotoAndPlay(511)
}

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?
