I did everything I'm suppose to, and the button works fine, but the movie for the button plays before the mouse goes over it, how can I stop it from doing that? I'm sorry if I'm not explaning this very good, but I am still new, and trying my best to. Thanx to everyone how helps me out!!

Button: Level1 Button Tells Level2 Movie To GotoAndPlay
on (release) {
_root._level2.gotoAndPlay ("interact", "startscreen");
}
___________________________________________
What's wrong with that?
I have a button within a level 1 movie, and I want it to tell the movie on level2 to go to the 'startscreen' label within the "interact" scene.
I've tried a few variations, but nothing seems to make it work. Any ideas?
(the _root. thing was added, cause I saw everyone else using it. still doesn't work)
Thank you all for being so helpful in advance!

Jumping To A Scene From Button In A Movie Clip Button?
I need to jump to a scene from a button inside a movie clip of ascene. Can any one please help? On the frame for the button in the movie clip I have this action script:

gotoAndPlay ("presCambells", "presCamp");
continue;
}
It works (with enable simple button action) in flash, however, when I publish and preview as a swf flash file it just shows the current scene with the movie clip looping after I click on it. Please Help.
Movie Clip Within Button - How Do You Disable Down State Of Button?
Hi - I have created a menu down the side of my flash site which is in the form of a button so that when the user rolls over the button, it brings up the menu. Within, this button is just text - the names for each page the user can select to go to (text is within movie clips so I can add actionscript to them).
However, I want to add on (press) {gotoAndPlay("home",1); } etc for each movie clip within this button but when i test the site, this code does not work as the buttons down state has priority over the movie clips within it.
Is there some actionscript code which could disable the down state of a button? (as i only need the button as a rollover anyway and i need the movie clips within the button to have priority in terms of actionscript for linkage etc)
Thanks
[f8] Button RollOver Show's Movie. How To Unshow Movie On RollOver Other Button
I've made a productoverview in flash.
There are 4 productphoto's (buttons with just a rollOver-function, no clicks).
Behind every productphoto there is a detailed product-specification (movie) that shows up when rollOver on the productphoto's.
So I want the product-specification movie to appear when theres a rollOver on the productphoto. The movie has to show on rollOver and has to stay visible on rollOut. But when u move to the next productphoto (rollOver) the previous product-specification movie has to disappear and the new one has to show.
I don't know what to do. so far i have this:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("sony-1-1") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
Graphic In A Movie In A Button In A Movie In A Button?
ok i tried putting a graphic in a clip that fades into another graphic, an put the movie in a button, an i make another movie clip, so that on rollout of that button, itll fade back to the original graphic. and i put that final movie in a button so that i can put it on my scene in order to direct the button to go to a frame in the movie. but obviously there is a conflict in the actionscript and the final button in the scene doesnt redirect on press.
summary: i need an animated button that changes on over and changes bac on rollout so i can put on my scene. any advice?
[F8] Button Within A Movie Within A Button Within A Movie....so Close
Although I feel this is probably quite complicated, I am very much a newb, so I am trying here. I am self taught, with the help of my good freind, Dr Google and the many generous persons who are willing to share their knowledge with us Newbs.
This is what I want to be able to do:
have an swf file that when you mouse over it, another image slides up from the bottom to almost cover it. This new image has a button on it, that when clicked, performs an action (using getURL).
This is how far I have got
I have my swf file, and this other image slides up when mouse over. I have also tested the button action and it works.
This is my problem
When the new image slides up and stops, all is good UNTIL I put my mouse over the button. Then the slide up image cycles very quickly through its animation constantly. If I bring my mouse onto to the image above the button and bring it down onto the button, and it starts cycling, and I slowly move my mouse downwards, the cycling only comes up as far as my mouse is so that as my mouse travels down the screen the new image comes up the screen less and less (probably a red herring but I thought I should mention it).
I know it is not the actionscript in the button that does this because I have tried it with a button with no actionscript and it behaves the same.
This is how I got to there
I have an instance on the stage of btnPage, which is a button.
btnPage has in it an instance of Background_Image on the 'UP', and an instance of the same image on the 'OVER' with a movieclip as well called AnimPage, that starts below the stage and moves up via tweening. Now within AnimPage movie Clip I have three layers, the new image tweening up, an actions layer to get it to stop, and a third layer for the button.
It all works perfectly until I add the button. The way I have added the button it on the last frame I have dragged a jpg from the library and then right clicked on it and converted it to a button.
As soon as I do that the problem appears.
At 416KB the fla file is too big to upload (limit here is 300) so I will try to resize everything in the morning to upload it.
I am hoping there is something glaringly obvious to you guru's out there that can be seen without the fla, but as I said I will upload it in the morning.
I would be deeply, deleriously, joyed if anyone can help me with this.
Cheers Al.
Having A Button Inside A Movie Clip To Move The Root Movie To Another Frame?
i dont know much about actionscripting so explain to me in simple terms...
i have buttons inside a single movie clip and i want to have each button (when clicked or rollover-ed) move the frame header of the main (root) movie to another position. what actionscript does this require? and will each button actually be "clickable" since they're all encapsulated in ONE movie clip??
thanks
Controlling The Main Time Line Of A Movie Via A Button Within A Movie On A Different Level.
Hi there!
I have two movie is two different levels,
Level 5 is my base movie and I am loading another movie on top of this into level 10.
Once the user clicks onto a button within the movie on level 10, I would like the animation in level 5 to stop (the animation runs on the main root timeline of level 5).
Once the user clicks on a different button within the movie on level 10, I would like the animation on the main timeline of the movie in level 5 to start again from the point where it previously left off.
Is this possible?
It would be great if someone could help me out with this.
Thanks, midi_ie
Movie Clip As A Button And Graphic As A Button
what is the "rule of thumb" for creating a button that has a movie clip. I often get confused to what order to do things...(ie..do I create the movie clip first, the button first)?? I'd like sound on different stages (over and down). Does that go into the button or actionscripting?...see how confusing it is???
Also if I wanted to pull a .jpg image into flash and have it drop down a menu..what is the rule of thumb to do that? (i.e. do I create the drop down menu first). I get so confused what order to do things...please help.
Many Thanks,
Andrea

Scripting A Button From One Movie To A Labeled Frame Of Another Movie (it's Scene 2)
Hello, I have researched this issue in this forum for days now and although what I have found, including the suggested tuturials, have helped me alot, I am still trying to make this work. The last script I attempted was this:
on (release) {
_level0.gotoAndPlay("Carlos_Portfolio_2005.swf_fra me_label1");
}
which didn't do anything. Not even an error... Before this script I tried this:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("Carlos_Portfolio_2005.swf", 0);
_root.gotoAndPlay("label1");
}
but got this error:
Error opening URL "file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/carlosguerra/Documents/My%20Art/flash%20pages%20for%20portfolio/Carlos_Portfolio_2005.swf"
The button itself, that I am scripting from, is named: return_button in the original movie.
I would appreciate any help!

Movie Clip Button That Takes Top Spot In Movie
I have a problem.
I have created 14 movie clip buttons. Each button has a roll over effect when you mouse over. When you mouse over there is a graphic that gets bigger and then gets smaller when you roll out. The problem is each movie is on it's own layer and when I roll over a movie, one will zoom under a movie and hide the image and if I put the movie on top of that one it'll cause the same problem for a diffrent one. This is what will fix my problem but I don't know how to implement the code. I need a code that will place the current zoomed movie on top of any other movie clip, so no matter which movie clip button I roll over and zoom,
the code will allow it to be the one on top. Can this be done?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Problems With Loading External Movie From A Button In Another Movie....
Hi,
I am working on a scrolling thumbnail movie clip, that when you click on the thumbnail button inside the movie clip it will load an external movie clip. I have an empty movie clip on the main stage, and have been trying all sorts of code, but for some reason it doesn't like that I am inside a movie clip using buttons. It can't seem to find the external swf.
I have tried:
on (release) {
loadMovie (ithink.swf, "loader");
and
on (release) }
if (firstTime == true) {
loadMovie("ithink.swf", _root.loader);
firstTime = false;
} else {
_root.clicked = "ithink.swf";
_root.loader.gotoAndPlay("goback");
}
}
and so far nothing, for some reaosn when I click on a button outside of the movie clip with the above code it loads... and than the other works too, but if I click on the buttons inside the scolling movie clip first they won't work.
Any suggests or ideas!!?
I would really appreciate it... I am beyond frusterated!!

[CS3] Linking A Button In A Movie To A Frame In Another Movie
I have an issue with this webpage I'm working on for a client.
Under the models / fashion / Andrea gallery (I've been working on this because once when this issue is solved the rest will pan out correctly) I have a movie clip (contentMain) with buttons I need to go to polaroids_MC and play and stop a frame within that.
Because of the mask over the scrolling content, I can't include it into the same movie clip which would have made it way easier.
I'm a a loss on how to set it up. I have included the FLA file in hopes on shedding light on this issue I've been having.
Since it's kinda big I have it uploaded from my own webspace:

Click The Button, Load Movie+another Movie?
Alright, so here is what I am trying to do.
On the home page, you can click so the featured series that I have to go to their pages.
(http://manga-addict.com/newio/index2.html)
Now, I want to make a page, section_manga.swf.
And then in that swf, much like in index.swf, have a masked area that loads another swf.
i.e.
>index.swf

>>>manga_jojo.swf
So my question is, can I make a button on the home page load the 'section_manga' part, with the 'manga_xxx' part?
Kinda like in PHP the whole

Is that possible? If so how? thanks !
HELP Loading Movie Into New Movie Button Problem
Hi all. I was hoping somebody here can help me. What I am trying to do is load a movie into a new movie, simple enough. Ive done this a few times and never had a problem. But the problem here is as follows. I have a menu bar fly onto the screen. Now the button that I want to press to load the movie is not following the action I am telling it. actually, i am probably using the wrong action. In the past I would just have the button there at all times and it works fine. So I assume that since this button is part of a movie, that is what is causing me problems. Here is the script that I am using.
on(release){
this.portfolio.loadMovie("web.swf");
}
portfolio of course being my blank movie.
Can anybody give me a hand here. I assume it has something to do with the path. Please help!!
Thanks so much
