Frame Label Navigation
Can someone show me the cleanest code for navigating through frame labels.
An example would be naming the labels p1, p2 , p3 etc and then being able to go foward and backward through them using a button or keyboard shortcut.
Sorry for my stupidity

Frame Label Navigation
Hello all,
Long time reader, first time poster. I really hope somebody can help me out of the bind I find myself in.
Basically, my problem is this:
I want to play 2 separate labels in a movie clip in any order when clicking a button that lives inside that movie clip.
Here's what I have on the button:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("location_rev");
gotoAndPlay("residences");
}
Currently, the playhead is going to "residences," entirely skipping "location_rev." I've thought of an if statement to ask Flash to play "residences" when arriving at the end of "location_rev," but I'm not entirely sure how to go about that.
If anyone out there can help me I'd really appreciate it. Seriously.

Frame Label Navigation Problem
Hi I hope some one can help me this is driving me crazy.
I'm trying to create a simple frame label based navigation. If you see the attached file it's not very complex but whenever I click the red button I keep getting
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label instance3 not found in scene Scene 1.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at site01_fla::MainTimeline/site01_fla::frame21()
I had it working fine but this started happening when I made the red button a MovieClip containing its own frame labels for the up, down, over states.
can anybody help please
thank you

Jumping To Frame Label Before Playing Desired Frame Label.
Hi, I'm new to flash as of a couple months ago. I made a project and I have a frame label that is an outro for the frame label(s) before it. I want this outro to play when the user clicks a button on my menu. Right now, when the button is pressed, it jumps directly to that frame label. Is there a way I can make a specific outro (that will change depending on the current frame label) to play before the frame label that the button calls on plays? This is probably confusing.
this is the actionscript i have so far, which is simply calling on the right frame label:
}
this.btn_home.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay("home");
}
what i want to do is tell it to figure out which label its currently on, then play the outro label, then go to "home" and play that. is this possible? thanks.

Advancing From Frame Label To Frame Label Using Time Variables
I need to understand how i can advance from a frame labeled "menu" to another frame labeled "submenu", using seconds.
For example, "menu" is on frame# 1 and "submenu" is on frame# 20. I want a 15 second interval between each frame label without making it really big in frames.
I want to make my demo to be simple to edit if I have to give people a longer time to view each slide.

GotoAndPlay A Frame Label Where The Frame Label Is A Variable
gotoAndPlay a frame label where the frame label is a variable
I found a cool dynamic menu that works off of arrays and have been able to modify/customize the array. Once you click on the button it sets a variable name the variable is “_root.select”
I would like to the root time line to gotoAndPlay a frame label that I have that would be the variable name
Lets say in my array I have the following
Jim
Dave
Sally
Karen
And the user selects Dave the variable “_root.select” would be Dave
I would then like the root timeline to gotoAndPlay the frame label Dave
This would fall under the Function below
nc.onRelease = function() {
// Function to get submenu actions needs to go here
var my_str:String = new String(this);
_root.select = my_str.slice(18);
_root.gotoAndPlay (what goes here)
Any Help would be appreciated

Label To Label Navigation?
I’m creating a presentation with a control bar. This control bar allows the user to go forward 1 section, back 1 section or all the way back to the beginning. I have the sections defined on the timeline by labels. Each section may have a varying length.
Rather than using nextFrame and prevFrame to go from frame to frame, I would like the control bar buttons to allow the user to move back to the previous labeled frame or forward to the next labeled frame, instead of just frame to frame.
Can someone please detail how to do this? I thought of setting up an array of label names, but I’m not sure that is the most efficient way or exactly how to code it. Is it better to set this up as slides in Flash instead?

Flash Button To Take Movie Clip To The Next Frame Label Instead Of The Next Frame
I am trying to figure out how to create a button to take a movie clip to the next Frame Label instead of just to the next Frame. I have a slide show that I am working on with a fade effect from picture to picture. When I just use the nextFrame script it will literally take you from frame to frame on the fade in. Is there a script that will allow you to go to the next (or previous) Frame Label from where the movie was stopped?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Can't Target A Frame Label Or Frame Number Within Movie Clip
Hi guys,
Can't for the life of me figure out why this is not working:
if (_currentframe==82) {
homefade_mc.gotoAndPlay("fadeup");
design_mc.gotoAndPlay("design_fade"); - this one is fine
}
- the first gotoAndPlay should be going to the homefade mc and then going to the "fadeup" frame label and play from that, but instead it does nothing. Any clues?

IfFrameloaded() Depreciated How To Get Frame Number From Frame Label
ifFrameLoaded() has been depreciated in Flash 5, leaving me with using _framesLoaded which gives me no way to verify a frame label is loaded as far as I can tell.
I thought there was a way to get a frame number from a frame label but I can't find it. How would you determine if a frame label is loaded (not the whole movie, but the just up to the frame label).
The reason I have to do this is that I have large animations that are changing a lot during production and thus the frame numbers are changing. I need to determine if a frame label is loaded (not the entire movie).
Thanks for the help!

Label Navigation As
How could this code be cleaner?
var i = 1;

i += 1;
_root.gotoAndStop("s"+i);
} else {
(i=5);
_root.gotoAndStop("s1");

_root.gotoAndStop("s"+i);

Label Navigation
Is there a way to navigate to labels using some sort of "go to next label" action instead of actually going to a named label.
For example, if I have a label at frame 5, 10, 15 and 20, and I want to have a next and a back button that will skip to the next label or back to the previous label. The functionality would be just like "next frame" and "previous frame" but using labels instead of frames.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks for any help.

How To Obtain Frame Number From Frame Label?
Hi Guys
Does anyone know how I can find out what the frame number is of frame which has a label at runtime using actionscript?
I don't think I can use _currentFrame as I need to find out the frame number prior to actually moving the player head to that location.
for example:
say you want to goto a frame labelled "bananas"
How can I find out what the frame number is of the bananas frame?
Cheers!

[F8] GotoAndStop Does Not Go To Correct Frame, According To Frame Label
I'm having trouble getting gotoAndStop to go to the correct frame. I've labeled frame 5 as "FIRST", frame 10 as "SECOND", and frame 15 as "THIRD".
Then I put the following code on frame 1, which I labeled "HOME", if it matters.
//var myFrame:String = "FIRST";
var myFrame:String = "SECOND";
//var myFrame:String = "THIRD";
trace(myFrame);
this.gotoAndStop(myFrame);
trace(this._currentframe);
stop();Letting myFrame = "SECOND" sends the playhead to frame 9, but it should be 10. When myFrame = "THIRD", the playhead stays at frame 1, while it should go to 15. Only "FIRST" goes to its correct frame, 5. Note that if I change the frame that is labeled "SECOND" from frame 10 to frame 9, then the playhead goes to frame 8.
I thought that this would be a really simple thing to do, but I'm getting quirky results.
Everything is on the root level and there are no movieclips or scenes involved.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys.

Finding Frame Number Of Frame Label With AS
is it possible to find the frame number of frame label with AS
what I am trying to do is ...
if a button is rolled over, the timeline jumps to a label - which plays a set of 3D rendered frames to 'raise' and element, once a user rolls out of the 'button' area the button is meant to 'lower' - which can be done by simply playing backwards to the previous label.
any clues?
cheers actionscript heads!

Frame Label, Instead Of Frame Number
gotoAndStop (random(5)+11);
The above actionscript means to go to frame11,12,13,14,15
randomly and stop.
I want to use frame label as the starting point of the random frame because frame number11 is easily changable.
For example, after I put a frame label "ABC",
I have tried the next scripts. However, they don't work.
gotoAndStop (random(5)+"ABC");
gotoAndStop ("random(5)+ABC");
Would you help me? please.
Thanks in Advance

Property For Seeing What Frame A Frame Label Is At
is there any property that can tell me what frame a frame label is set to. In other words, I have a movieclip that wants to 'wait until the frame head hits a certain frame in a different movieclip in the timeline. I know I can do a while(instance._currentframe != 10), but I want to generalize it and replace the frame number 10 with a variable that would be set by referencing the label to get the frame #.
TIA

Frame Label Vs. Frame Number
if i have a button with the following action, page01 being the frame label, my button does nothing.
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(page01);
}
if i have this action, 24 being the frame number for page01, it works.
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(24);
}
i'd rather not use the frame numbers. do i have the syntax wrong for the labels?
thanks!

Frame Label
Anybody know if you can retrieve a frame label? So for example, if the play head goes to a frame labeled "myLabel", can I retrieve that frame label information somehow, similar to the way you can retrieve the instance name of a mc?

Frame Label Help
I'm developing a movie that uses frame labels for navigation. (add, del, chg)
I have three buttons that each correspond with a frame.
Right now, I'm setting the nav with this:
Code:
_root.frame = new Array('', 'add', 'del', 'chg');
buttonInit = function () {
for (x=1; x<=4; x++) {
_root["button"+x].lbl = _root.frame[x];
_root["button"+x].onRelease = hit
//other attributes go here
}
}
hit = function () {
// trace(this);
_root.activeLast = _root.active;
_root.active = this;
_root.gotoAndStop(this.lbl);
resetAllBut(active);
};
I'd like to get rid of the array at the top and set the first line of the buttonInit to something like this:
Code:
_root["button"+x].lbl = _root.getFrameLabel[x+1];
...but i cant find a function that will get the frame labels.
is it possible?

If With Frame Label
I'm trying to make this work, I guess its with the ([_root.getstatus-1]+"to"+[_root.getstatus])) that the thing is wrong... can anyone help me out? Never done anything like that before, and I just guessed my way, and it doesnt seem to work.
Code:
if (_root.animation._currentframe == ([_root.getstatus-1]+"to"+[_root.getstatus]))
{
trace (1564654654654654654687987987);
_root.animation.gotoandplay([_root.getstatus]+"end");
}
-Wako
----edit----
I forgot to say that _root.getstatus is a number between 2 and 5, and the MC animation has keyframes labeled 1to2 2to3, etc, and also 1end, 2end, 3end, etc.

Frame Label Help
Hi all,
I'm still quite new to this so bear with me, I currently building a all flash site using frame labels on the main time line to display content. I have movie clip with a set of buttons controling the main time line, jumping to frame etc. What keeps happening though, is when I press one of the buttons more then once it jumps to the next frame label and so forth. I'm using this piece of code for my buttons
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("framelabel");
}
All I wANT the buttons to do is jump to the framelabel stop,play the content and that's it. Only if pressed again will it play the content again..
First time building an all flash site, appreciate all the help

Get Frame Label
I´m using Flash Mx Professional 2004 and i want to get the label of the current frame. I´ve used this:
Code:
if (_root._currentframe!="Mylabel"){
gotoAndStop("64");
}
However, _currentframe only checks for the frame number and not for the frame label. I´ve searched the help file but I haven´t found any function that returns the actual frame label. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Get Frame Label
How to add and view the frame label dynamically.
check the Fla u will understand.
When I click "click to add" button that particular frame should be added in a txt file with a name and the frame label.
Then when I click "Click to View" those frames which I have added it should be displayed here as buttons so that when I click that it should go to the frame from where it is added.Here the user should also able to rename and delete.
From last 2 weeks changing the concepts which ever is possible for me, even I tried to cheat in flash itself but failed...

Detecting A Frame Through Its Label
I have include some code in a movieClip to check if the frame it is within matches a label. The code is similar to below:
if (_currentframe == "repeat")
{
do something;
}
However, I realized that _currentframe always returns the numeric frame value. Is there a simple way to check to see if you are in a frame with a certain label? Is there a function or property that I can not find? Is this possible without using a variable and checking that?

How Do I Target A Frame Label
ok, after my preloaded the movie my main movie goes to frame 40 and stops. On that frame I have a movie clip that plays. we will call this movie CLIP1
When clip one reaches its last frame I want the root timeline to jump to frame 60 and stop.
I tried labeling frame 60 or the root timeline jump1
Now I set up an action on the last frame of CLIP1 as follows
with (root.jump1) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", "jump1");
}
IT gives me an error object not found.
How do I target a frame label rather than a movie clip instance?
