Jump To Frame Or Load .swf From Combo Box
Folks, I have a nice little combo box but haven't figured how to activate it to do two simple things. For example:
I need to on select "Bio", jump to the frame label "biography"
AND
I need to on select "Portraits", jump to frame label 'load_port" and load portraits.swf to an empty movie clip.
I've found tutorials that go through setting up loading external .swf files to a movie clip, i'm cool there. It's the simple process of setting the different selections in the combo box to do something when chosen that I'm not finding.
Can someone point me to a lesson on setting up the function to jump to a label?

Combo Box Won't Select
Is this a bug?
I have 2 swfs, one is a container swf, and one is the swf that gets loaded.
1) Container
2) Gets Loaded
Container loads Gets Loaded into _level5;
Inside the Gets Loaded swf, there is a combo box (flash mx, not 2004). When I run the Gets Loaded swf independent, I can click on the items in the combo box and it will select them. When I load the Gets Loaded swf into the level, I can no longer select the items in the combo box (the dropdown is performed, but when I click on an item, it just goes to the default item).
To make this problem even more weird, if I try and select an item, it goes to the default... but then I use the up and down arrows, I am allowed to select an item.
Why does this happen? Is it a macromedia bug? Do I have to use the MX 2004 components and add another 30k just for a combo box? What is the best solution?

Can't Select A Combo Box?
I'm fairly new to Flash and am having a little problem.
Basically I have a the top of a clipboard visible at the bottom of the screen. When it is rolled over the clipboard rises up from the bottom until it is completely visible on the stage. I did this by creating a movieclip containing the picture of a clipboard and tweening it to come up, and then reversing it to go back down. I placed stop actions at the beginning of the movieclip, the fully visible position, and a gotoAndStop command at the end of the movieclip to return it to the start. I placed the movieclip on the stage, and used onRollOver and onRollout events to trigger the tweens.
To ensure that the bottom of the clipboard isn't visible when the clipboard is off screen, I added a mask over the stage area so that only the portion of the clipboard on the stage will ever be visible.
Here comes the question: Now I need for the clipboard to display a few questions with combo boxes that the user can select and choose an answer from when the clipboard is in it's fully visible position. I can get the questions onto the clipboard by placing them in their own layer within the movieclip. However, I can't make the combo boxes selectable. Is this a focus problem? Do I just have the questions layer in the wrong place? Does any of this even make sense? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Combo Box Multi-select - $12.5 Million Question
I keep asking this, and it just ends up ignored. So either nobody wants to answer this, or nobody can.
So I decided... as soon as I transfer that $25 million from that one account in the National Bank of Nigeria from the wife of that guy that was a rebel and died in that one coup - you know the one, I'll split it with whoever can answer this:
Using the Flash MX Combobox component, how do you allow a multiple selection of the items in that compbox box?
Given a combo box, you can select a single item from that box. If you hold down the ctrl key and select another item, you select that next item - but not both! This does not mimick an html select that has the multiple property set, and there is no way to set a multiple property to a flash combo box.
Does anybody have any code for making this possible? I can't believe Macromedia just didn't write that functionality in....

How Do I Make A Combo Box Into A Jump Menu?
I have created several static combo boxes for a movie, but I want them to behave like Dreamweaver Jump Menus.
In other words, when the selected option changes in a box, go to that option's URL (selection value).
I realize that it probably involves an event handler, but I don't have one.
Can anyone give me the right one or direct me to a tutorial, etc. ??
Thanks in advance.

Combo Box Size V Dreamweaver Jump Box
Hi,
I've been looking at using a combo box in Flash MX 2004,
it is my preferred method for solving a navigation problem.
It will take over 11 seconds to load at 5kb/sec, a similar jump box in Dreamweaver takes less than 1 sec, why the difference. I prefer using Flash but .....

How To Jump From Frame To Frame Without Changing Part Of The Movie
I didn't know how to title this little question/problem I have but I'll try to explain it as best I can. I'm creating a movie in Flash for my portfolio page by using buttons to navigate from frame to frame. The movie has three thumb pictures at the bottom (each one is a button), a Main View, where you can see the thumb pictures bigger, and two arrows below the thumb pics to move to the next three thumb pictures. Since I'm doing this in just one scene with a bunch of layers, I'm having a little predicament. When the user cicks on the arrow to move the thumb pictures, I would like the Main View to remain the same. For example, if the user clicks on thumb 1, the Main View changes to Picture 1. Then the user clicks on the next arrow to view the next three thumbs. The Main View should remain as Picture 1, and the only thing that should change are the three thumb pictures at the bottom. I'm attaching an example of what I'm trying to say for you to view it better. If you have any suggestions on how I can do this, I will appreciate it greatly.
THANKX!!

Jump From Frame 2 To Frame 1 In My Pingpong Game
Hi.
My first (of many i guess) post here :-)
I have made a small pingpong game. It have 2 frames. The intro game on frame 1, and the game itself on frame 2.
When the player or the computer scores 3 points, i want the game to go back to the intro screen at frame 1.
Here is the code i wanna use for that
if (this._x>500)
{
this._x = 200;
this._y = 200;
_root.yspeed = 5-random(10);
_root.xspeed = 5;
_root.ballSpeed = 0;
_root.playDeadSound.start(0,1);
_root.player1Score += 1;
start = getTimer();
while (start+2000>now)
{
now = getTimer();
}
if (_root.player1Score > 2)
{
gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
But the games just keeps playing. It dosent go back to frame 1. I have tryed setting in a trace("test") to see if i captured the event. And i do. I also put a trace in my frame 1. That one only gets written when the games start up. Not when i make the gotoAndStop(1)
In frame i have all my parameter inits, and a stop() command. Anyone know what im doing wrong ?
Here is the code, if anyone wanna see it:

Buttons Jump To Correct Frame, And Then Another Frame
I have buttons inside a movie clip. the actions assigned to these buttons affect the _root.
this is ok so far.
when i press a button, it jumps to the frame label it is supposed to. that frame label has a stop action on it.
another press of the same button, jumps to the next frame. this should not happen. i have only made one script and told it to go to one frame and one frame only.
does anyone know why a second and third presses will jump the timeline instead of keeping it where it is.
thanks

Use Variable To Select Frame In Movie Clip?
Ok -
Frame 15 - I have a variable labeled "tagstyle"
Frame 75 - I have a movie clip named "tags" - the first frame is blank, the second has an image of a bell, the third of a bone, etc....
I want it to get the "tagstyle" variable from earlier and therefore choose the correct frame in the "tags" movieclip

gotoAndStop(3);
} else if (_root.tagstyle = "Military") {

gotoAndStop(6);

gotoAndStop(7);
}It's not working.....I'm a total newbie here - any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Select A Frame To Preview In An Embedded MC On The Main Timeline.
Dear ASorg chums n whutnot:
I have a constant problem having to do with embedded MC's that contain an animation. When I go back to a higher MC, or the main timeline, what I see is frame one of that movie clip, which can often be apparently nothing (say, I have the alpha set to 0 for example). I have a design-on-the-fly style, and it makes my style tedious. Is there a way to change the frame that you are previewing in a movie clip when you're viewing it from a step above?
Thanks,

I need to be able to direct a viewer from a button in one Movie Clip to a specific frame of another MC loaded at a seperate URL (within the same domain)....

Can anyone please offer the code or suggest where to look for the solution..
Oh yes, and it has to be done in Flash 4....

Random Frame Jump To
hi there
i've got 11frames on the main timeline, each frame has a stop command and a movie attached to it (*each move has a bit of code that jumps back to the main timeline, frame one).
what i want to do is have on frame one on the main timeline, a random bit of code that jumps from frame one to any of the next ten frames.
at present i am using this bit of code
gotoAndPlay (random (10));
i'm not sure what it does exactly, but it seems to work - what i need is to make sure that if this code has randomly picked 6, then on a return to frame one, it doesn't pick 6 again but instead picks another random number.. .
hope this makes sense.... .
many thanks

How To Jump To A Frame In A Movie?
Hello,
I'm a newbie to flash (just started my first site 2 days ago), so this is probably a really dumb question, but I'm hung up on it, so here goes . . .
I purchased a template to get me started. In Scene 1 of the template, there are the menu buttons which, when clicked, gotoAndPlay a page turning effect that begins in frame 221 of Scene 1. After the page turns, the movie jumps to a specific frame in a movie clip called "SubPages". Here is the code that activates this:
on (release) {
_root.page = 4;
tellTarget ("_root") {
gotoAndPlay(221);
}
}
The problem I am having is that I have added additional pages in my movie clip "SubPages" that I need to add to the menu in Scene 1. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
Do I need to give the new frames a page name in the "SubPages" movie clip? How do I do this? Or am I way off track?
I would appreciate any advice! Thank you.

Frame Jump Script Help...
hi, i have a roll-over of a door opening and closing. it's a motion tween that takes 20 frames to open and 20 frames to close. if you roll-over the door it begins to open, but if you roll out before it closes it jumps to the door fully open and begins to close. i want to make it better by telling the movie to jump to frame 39 frame but subtract the number of the frame the moive is currently on, so that the door position is in the same place.
I've tried a few things but I am such the novice, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jump To A Random Frame.
Ok, here's the scenario.
There are 4 animated sequences. Each sequence begins at frame: 1, 18, 54, and 78.
I want to play these animated sequences randomly, so I'm looking for an actonscript that I can put at the end of each sequence to tell it to "GoTo" 1, 18, 54, or 78, randomly.
Another idea is to jump to a random scene, but I'm not sure what the action script is for that either.
I've looked through slide show tutorials, and actionscripting tutorials and I haven't had any luck. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
