The subject pretty much explains it. I'm having trouble getting my buttons which are within a movieclip to link to various scenes.

Link To The Middle Of A Movie Clip On A Scene From Another Movieclip
I have a flash file with two scenes. I have a separate movie clip(mc) on each scene. I want a user to be able to click a button at the end of the mc on scene 2(scene 2 is called "com") that will take them to the middle of the mc on scene 1.

I created a frame label in the middle of mc on scene 1 called "mob_scene" and used the following code to link to it but it goes to the start of the mc rather than the middle. What am I doing wrong?

I have tried the following code:

on(press){
_root.gotoAndPlay("main_mob")
}

I have also tried a linking to a frame label in the middle of the main timeline on scene 1 but it still goes back to the start.

Any ideas?

Button Link Inside Movie Clip Link To Slide #
First let me say I am a very new to ActionScript and Flash, but have a pretty good understanding of the web and a basic understanding of object oriented scripts from CSS and a few other languages.

I have a navigation menu which is a movie clip containing buttons inside it and have a slide presentation as my main content. I am trying to make the buttons link to a specific slide # in a different part of my flash presentation.

You can see the page here: http://brhpc.ericlevay.com

The nav menu is a downloaded source and the slide show is the default canned one from the Flash templates directory.

I was hoping to use the gotoandStop (slide#) to make the connection between the nav button and the slide but it does not do anything.

I will provide the source if needed...

Thanks!

A Button Inside A Movie Clip, Within A Movie Clip, Calling Another Scene:
Is it even possible?

I have been trying to do it for the last few days for a site I am working on.

I have done searches in many forums and it's foolish looking for an answer that way, because quite frankly every thread I opened was something to do with LoadMovie or GetURL, etc.

What I have right now is on the button in my Menu Bar Movie Clip:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(285);
}

Which plays a fancy little animation in the movie clip and then on the last frame of that movie clip I had:

gotoAndPlay("Contact", 1);

Which is the Scene for the "Contact Us" Scene named "Contact"

One would think that it would load up the scene and play at frame 1, however all that happens is it reloads the movie clip of the "Menu Bar" at frame 1 and starts over, not even realizing what I asked.

Anyways, I figured there's a script or something that tells it to look outside of the movie clip or to the _Root, or whatever.

If someone has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I have no example to show, since I have yet to upload it. (It's my company's web site, and I don't think customers would want to see some half-arsed web site that's not complete.

Thanks in advance.

Button In A Movie Clip To Different Scene?

Button Within A Movie Clip Not Going To Another Scene- HELP
How do i get a button to go to another scence if its in a movie clip?

Button In Movie Clip In Scene 1
I have a button
It is in the 10th frame of a movie clip (let's call it Movie Clip A)

MouseOverSound.start(0,0);
}
Can anyone help me fix this please? Thanks!

Button In A Movie Clip To A Scene? Please Help
Hi,
I have created a button in a movie clip and would like it to go to frame 1 in a different scene when it is clicked on.

When the button is in the main part of the scence it works properly, but it must be in the movie clip, and when it is in there it just does nothing.

Is there some sort of trick to it that i'm missing? I'm using Flash 5.

Thanks :)

[CS3.AS2] Button In A Movie Clip Link To Another Movie Clip And Play
what im doing is that making a button in a movie clip link to another movie and play/stop certain parts of that clip

lets say that there are 4 buttons are in movieA, and the other clip is called movieB

when the user clicks button1 in movieA, movieB will play from frame 1 to 5 and stop.
when user clicks button2 in movieA, movieB will play from frame 5 to 10.
and so on

so far my code for button1 is:

on (release){
this._parent.movieB.gotoAndStop(5);
}

on (release){
_root.movieB.gotoAndStop(5);
}

button2:

on (release){
this._parent.movieB.gotoAndStop(10);
}

on (release){
_root.movieB.gotoAndStop(10);
}

with this code, it just jumps to the designated frame.
what i want is to have it play from current frame to a designated frame

can anyone shed some light on this?

A Button To Load A Movie Clip In Scene 1
First I have to thank catbert303 for getting me this far... I have a question pertaining to having a button load a movie clip in a single scene... The button will act almost like a navigatinal tool...

So,

Button 1 XXX

When you click Button 1 where you see XXX above would appear. XXX would be the movie clip.

What I did so far:

1. Created a button named Button 1.
2. Created a movie clip named XXX --->gave it an instance name of XXX
3. In the XXX movie clip I left the first frame empty and put a stop() to it...
3. I right clicked on Button 1 and added the following script

on (release) {
xxx.gotoAndStop(2);
}

BUT NOTHING WORKS YET!!
Any advice?

[CS3] Linking From A Button In A Movie Clip To New Scene
So I have a rollover menu that comes out from the side. and within numerous movie clips are various button menus I want to link to a new scenes.

For instance, I want the "aldo" button to both drop open the list and link to the scene at the same time if possible, or at least just have one link to the new scene, when I tell the button to link to the scene, nothing happens. I'm pretty lost on how to do this.

this is what i have, but it doesn't work

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("client_aldo", "titlepage");
}

Here is the attached flash file if anybody wants to take a look and help me out with the correct coding.

Changing The Scene From A Button Within A Movie Clip
hi there

what I've got is two scenes, we'll call them "Scene 1" and "Scene 2". In scene one I have a movie clip with a button inside of it that is supposed to go to be first frame in "Scence 2"

right now my script looks something like this:

on (released)
{
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1)
}

I've also tried:

on (released)
{
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1)
}

along with:

on (released)
{
_parrent.gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1)
}

none of these work.... no errors it just dosn't do anything. I know my script on the button is ok because when I have the same button outside of the movie clip it works fine. What do I need to do to make this work?

thanks

Button With Movie Clip Goto New Scene
Hello,
I've been racking my brain trying to solve this one.

I'm using Flash 5.

I have a Button which contains a movie clip, the movie clip shows an image
that expands on rollover and contracts on rollout.

I'm using frame labels to get the expanding and contracting to work
correctly. When I place the movie clip in the button and place the button on
stage the movie will only show the rollover portion of the movie.
The actions for the Movie do not work the movie is just playing the first
portion of itself, the rollover expansion portion.

Is there a way to make both the rollover and rollout actions of the movie
clip work, while the movie clip is part of a button?

And when the viewer clicks on the button the viewer goies to ANOTHER SCENE.

Thanks,

Monte

_root.outnowone.on1_movie.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
nextFrame();
} else {
prevFrame();
}
};

this all works

i have button with this code::

on (rollOver) {
stopAllSounds();
popSound = new Sound(this);
popSound.attachSound("popsound");
popSound.start(0, 1);
}

this works as well but if i have the button above the button1 the button1 dont work and if i have the button1 above the button no sound plays

is there a way of combing the code?

Can't Jump Scene From A Button Inside A Movie Clip
can anyone help me?
i'm using a script made by joshua davis (reverb) called boxes. in plane words it looks like 5 squares onj the stage, rolling over makes them bigger, rolling out makes the smaller (in a very sophisticated way), u can also drag the squares.
the script that rules the button that makes possible all this is:

on (press) {
startDrag ("");
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
}
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/I_1_exp") {
play ();
}
if (/:ZSorting eq "Deactivated") {
/:recentM = getProperty(_target, _name);
/:Zorder = Number(/:Zorder)+1;
duplicateMovieClip ("/" add /:recentM, /:recentM add "temp", /:Zorder);
set ("/" add /:recentM add "temp:mynumber", eval("/" add /:recentM add ":mynumber"));
/:Zsorting = "Activated";
set ("/" add /:recentM add "temp:growth", 50);
set ("/" add /:recentM add "temp:switch", 1);
removeMovieClip ("/" add /:recentM);
}
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
tellTarget ("/I_1_exp") {
gotoAndStop (1);
}
/:Zorder = Number(/:Zorder)+1;
duplicateMovieClip ("/" add /:recentM add "temp", /:recentM, /:Zorder);
set ("/" add /:recentM add ":mynumber", eval("/" add /:recentM add "temp:mynumber"));
/:ZSorting = "Deactivated";
removeMovieClip ("/" add /:recentM add "temp");
set ("/" add /:recentM add ":growth", 50);
set ("/" add /:recentM add ":switch", 0);
/:recentM = 0;
stopDrag ();
}

What i tried to do is replacing:

on (press) {
startDrag ("");

with:

on (press) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene2", 1);

because I want to jump from scene 1 to scene 2
but when i tried to modify the script in this way nothing happens, the scene remains the same.
i'm going crazy!!!!!

Button In Movie Clip Linking To Main Scene.
Howdy howdy. I'm working on a flash project and I want the buttons in one movie clip to link to frame 5 of scene 1. (So I have scene 1, a movie clip with the buttons in it and I want one of those buttons to make scene one skip to frame 5) So far it just goes to frame 5 of that movie clip, and when I named "Scene 1" inside the "Scene" box it didn't do anything. I tried searching the forum prior to posting this but I got 50000 results the first time and 35000 the second time, and I didn't feel like browsing through all of those hoping to find the answer to this question. (The first 2 pages of each search didn't contain anything I found to be helpfull) Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I'm using Flash 5) Thanks -NoodlyGod

Transition From Movie Clip Button To Alternate Scene
Hi guys. We are working on a flash site for our company, and ran into a problem. We have buttons for our menu that are movie clips. We want to have a transitional effect that plays an animation, then goes to whatever corresponding scene we desire (for certain products or whatnot). However, when we try to include the correct variables, it does seem to hold them through the transition or at all and just plays the following scene, instead of jumping to whichever scene we had labeled. What is/would be the best code to use for this situation? Thanks in advance.
