GotoandPlay - Buttons Vs. Frame Actions
Does gotoandPlay() behave diff. if it is being used as a button action vs. being used as a simple frame action?
When I use it (as in the example below) directly from a frame as a frame action it seems to behave the same as gotoandStop()
example:
I have a movie clip with 10 frames and 2 layers.
Layer 1 has a stop() action in frames 1 and 10.
Layer 2 is a shape tween.
When I say movieclip.gotoandPlay(2) from a frame action it doesn't play... it goes there and stops. But if I call it from a button
on(release){
movieclip.gotoandPlay(2);
}
It works just fine.
The main time line is one frame. and the only scripts in the movie are the goto action(s) and the 2 stop scripts in the movieclip.
Any ideas? I don't know what else to try. Am I missing something simple?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Buttons Vs Frame Actions - Which Has Precedence
I placed timing actions in each frame to cause the movie to pause five seconds and then play the next frame.
Then I decided to install a pause, fast forward, next frame and return button.
But the buttons seem to upset the normal flow of the frame actions and the frames are played out of sequence and jump all over the place.
I first tried on release, gotoAndStop. Then thought the Stop was the problem, so I tried gotoAndPlay for my buttons. For the fast forward I used gotoAndPlay (_currentframe + 3)
Are there rules of precedence going on here? Anyone. For anyone answering, just a simple,
yes, I have done it, your code must be wrong would be sufficient or
no, there are always conflicts when button actions interupting frame actions of this type are put together.
Many thanks for anyone who answers.

Buttons With Links Added In Actions Frame
I am trying to set up my site using buttons with instance names instead of adding the code to the buttons themselves, as the newer actionscript is supposed to be done.
However, I am finding that it only works if I put the code on the same frame as the buttons themselves (in the actions layer). I thought I could put all the code for the buttons at the beginning? Even if the code is one frame away, it doesn't seem to access it.
This is my code for my buttons - they are on several pages of a diary, which accesses some dynamic text and has next and back buttons. On 'DIARY1' frame, the first button (btn_diary1next) works, but the ones I'm trying to reference for the next frame (DIARY2) don't work. I've also tried it without the "_root" there, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. What could the problem be?
stop();
myText.load("text/article_diary1.txt");
//script for next and back buttons on diary
btn_diary1next.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay("DIARY2");
}
//test
btn_diary2next.onRelease = function(){
_root.gotoAndPlay("DIARY3");
};
btn_diary2back.onRelease = function(){
_root.gotoAndPlay("DIARY1");
}

Flash MX: Controlling Frame Actions W/ Buttons Embeded In MCs
Can we still use Button Actions to control Scene navigation? Example:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("1,1");
}
I have an actionscript controling an MC. The MC is a Horizontal Scroller that is made up of buttons. The buttons in the MC have the above code. When I play the movie, nothing but the rollover performs. The action on the buttons do not work properly.
This is Flash MX related.

Actions On The Main Page..do They Affect Actions On Movie Buttons?
ON the home page I've created, the buttons I used with the code in my previous thread ("two questions about HTML publishing and buttons"), I added an on rollover action to the actions layer of the main timeline (not the movie button timeline) so that on rollover, a picture would change according to the button that was rolled over. I did this for all three buttons. The rollover action works great, but now the links don't work in either the html OR the swf version. Would the added action disable the movie-clip button actions? Here's the added main timeline code, edited for space: photobtn_mc.onRollOver = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);
photobtn_mc.onRollOut = function() {
gotoAndStop(1); ( Again, help is greatly appreciated!)

Refreshing Actions When You GotoAndPlay
I was wondering if there's an easy way to refresh the actions when you go to a new frame or scene, particularly ending all the loops/movie clips left over in earlier scenes?
I have a program where items spawn at the top and come down, but at the end I want to go to the next scene and those items will stop spawning. I'd expect them to stop (since I don't carry the code over), but it still stores it and continues the loops.
I'm a bit new to this, any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

[F8] How To Use Two GotoAndPlay Actions With One Button Press?
Hi,
Does anyone know how to use two gotoAndPlay actions when a button is pressed?
E.g. when the user presses a button, I want it to play the roll-over animation (Frames 1 - 51) THEN play the down animation (Frames 52-70)! Heres what Ive got so far, though at the moment it just skips straight to the "_down" part!
Code:
btnHitPhysics_mc.onRelease= function(){
Physics_mc.gotoAndPlay("_over");
Physics_mc.gotoAndPlay("_down");
}
btnHitPhysics_mc.enabled=false;
}
This is the code of my rollover and rollout actions on the same button, which might be interferring:
Code:
btnHitPhysics_mc.onRollOver = function(){
if(Physics_mc. _currentframe > 51){
Physics_mc.gotoAndPlay(102 - Physics_mc. _currentframe);
}
else{
Physics_mc.gotoAndPlay("_over");
}
}
btnHitPhysics_mc.onRollOut = function(){
if(Physics_mc. _currentframe < 51){
Physics_mc.gotoAndPlay(102 - Physics_mc. _currentframe);
}
else{
Physics_mc.gotoAndPlay("_out");
}
}
Simply repeating the over animation in the down section is not really possible due to large file size.
Many Thanks, Ben.

GotoAndPlay(frame) Messing Up If Frame Is The Current Frame
I have a bug with my buttons and I am trying to figure out how to fix them. I have about 5 different buttons that will take me to different places on my website (http://www.usu.edu/drc)(don't judge me on design, I am not the greatest web designer)
Anyway, if I click on the students button it will load the students swf and take me to that frame in my mc. If I am already in the students frame, it loads the next frame in my mc instead doing nothing, which is what I want it to do. Anybody know why this is?
Now to fix the problem. I am fairly new to AS and was hardcoding my frames, but as I add frames and move things around, I have to go in and change the frame numbers, hello frame labels. Well, I now have the different frames labeled but I need to check if _currentFrame is equal to my frame label. I don't know how to do this.
What I was thinking is something like this:
if(_currentFrame.name == "students"){ don't do anything }
I don't know if this would work or if this is even the right syntax. Anybody have an idea on this one? Thanks for the help.

Frame Actions Vs Object Actions
In preparation for AS3 which no longer supports object actions, I am on the process of converting flash movies created with Object actions in AS2 to Frame actions. While I understand some valid reasons for switching to Frame actions, I am discovering that converting button and clip actions to Frame actions is a very tedious process and so far, more than half the files I have tried to convert do not work. Having worked with Flash since version 3, I know about timelines, targeting and variable scope but this whole conversion process is driving me nuts! Is there a place that I can go to or tutorials available that teach how to attack this conversion? What are the main guidelines in converting from Object to Frame Actions? I have looked in the CS3 Help (from the program or Adobe online) and I have not found anything to guide me. Am I the only one experiencing this? Thanks for your help.

Buttons Whos Actions Depend On States Of Other Buttons -HOW?
Hi,
I’ve made a 3D animation as a background to my homepage, and have imported it into Flash CS3 as a series of still TIFF images (one image on each frame).
Now I am looking to control this animation using a series of 9 buttons. At the moment each button does the following:
Button1: Play frames 01 – 20. Stop.
Button2: Play frames 21 – 30. Stop.
Button3: Play frames 31 – 40. Stop.
…etc.
However, I want to make each button’s action dependant on the states of the other buttons:
When the user presses any of the 8 buttons other than the one that is currently engaged, I want the animation relating to the button that is currently engaged to be played in reverse, and then the animation belonging to the button that has just been pressed to be played!
For example, if Button 1 has been pressed, then the user presses Button 2, I want frames 20 – 01 and then frames 21 – 30 to be played. Another example; Button 3 is engaged, user presses Button 1 – frames 40 – 31 should be played and then frames 01 – 20.
If anyone could help me with the ActionScript to perform this (ideally AS3 but AS2 is fine) then I would be extremely, extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
Ben.

GotoAndPlay (Frame WHAT?)
Hey gang,
I can't seem to make a movie jump from one point to another using a gotoAndPlay("Frame Label") -- The particular frame label I'm trying to jump to is within a movie that is itself a nested movie. Can a gotoAndPlay command with a frame label jump to the frame no matter where it is, or do I need additional actionscript to make it go up two levels from the main stage? HELP!!!
Thanks

Please Help Me GotoAndPlay(frame)
Hello,
Sorry for probably a basic problem, I'm new to this!
In my movie at frame 100 is a symbol which contains 15 large images which fade into each other by clicking an arrow. Else where in the movie I have a thumbnail gallery which I want to link each small thumbnail to it's matching larger image.
I've tried naming each frame of each large image and then in the code typing in the frame name like this (this is linking to the first frame containing the first image):
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(icsaw01);
}
But nothing happens.
Then I tried making the link the for the frame number in the movie (ie frame 100) and it does go straight to the begining of that symbol.
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(100);
}
BUT...I want each thumbnail to link to the correct large image and not just to the beginning of the whole lot. SO...what am I doing wrong? What could I be doing wrong?
Your help is greatly appreciated on this!!!

GotoAndPlay(20) Going To Frame 1
I am using Flash CS3 with AS2 to write code that will fade images in and out, looping from the last frame back to frame 20. Loading the images with XML is working, as is the fading in and out. Unfortunately, when it reaches frame 390 it loops back to frame 1 instead of frame 20.
In frame 390 I tried using gotoAndPlay(20) to code the loop. Then I tried using _root.gotoAndPlay(20); but this did not work either. I am not sure why it is playing frame 1 instead of 20.

LoadMovie() And GotoAndPlay Certain Frame?
Ok, I have a main movie that has an empty movie clip with an instance name of LoadPress. I load an animation into that movie clip. Then there are six doors on that animation that spin with a press title on it, when you click one of the doors it loads another movie clip, Panel One, and unloads the _root(six doors animation). What I need to do after that Panel One movie plays is go back to the main movie and load the six doors movie into the empty movie clip(LoadPress)and make it go to a certain frame.
Is there a way to do this?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

GotoAndPlay To A Target Frame
I have a problem that has been stumping me for quite some time and I'm hoping one of you pros can shed some light for me.
I have a flash movie that is used as a navigation bar for my site. It works fine on it's own, but I also want to be able to control it from a different source. I simply want to be able to load the movie and start at a target frame based on the viewer choosing a region from a list elsewhere on my page. I am trying to accomplish this just by sending a URL variable when it's loaded. For example, the flash movie might be loaded like this:
navflash.swf?targetFrame=11
I have created a little debug text field in the movie that just shows the variable targetFrame. That text field shows the proper value based on the URL, so I know that the variable is getting passed correctly. The only values that actually get passed to it are 11, 31, 51, 71, 91, 111, 131 and 151 which are the start frames of the various parts of my navigation setup.
On frame 1 of my movie I have an action that is:
code: stop();
if (targetFrame>1) {gotoAndPlay(targetFrame);}This is where my problem starts. No matter what the value of targetFrame actually is, the movie jumps to frame 14. I have been able to verify this by changing my gotoAndPlay() to a gotoAndStop() and checking what the actual start frame looks like. After playing through a few frames, frame 28 has an action that tells the movie gotoAndPlay(1). Bizarrely, this time when it goes to frame 1, it properly executes the original gotoAndPlay(targetFrame) and goes to the correct frame. So the problem is that it is only executing the gotoAndPlay(targetFrame) properly when the movie jumps back to frame 1, but not when the movie first loads. I had a delete targetFrame command along with the gotoAndPlay(1) on frame 28, but deleted it during my troubleshooting. Once I figure this out, I plan on putting it back in so that the variable is deleted and an endless loop is prevented when it returns to frame one.
I have attached the original .fla file in a .zip. I hope somebody can shed some light on my problem. Thanks in advance.

on(press){
tellTarget(_root)
gotoAndPlay("main",1)
}
What gives? It's not working. the reason that I have the tell target script is the button does not reside on the main timeline and
_root.gotoAndPlay("main",1) or gotoAndPlay("main",1) don't work either. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

GotoAndPlay Advancing One Frame Too Many
I'm sorry if the solution to this problem is more obvious than I think, but this is for a project that's due quite soon, so I haven't researched it very much.
Basically, I'm making a menu system for this presentation. Just dealing with one level of the heirarchy, I have scenes for each chapter -- "menu10", "menu11", "menu12", et cetera. Each frame has an identical menu consisting of buttons for each scene. Each button has a gotoAndPlay action that directs the playhead to the respective menu scene. So on release, the button marked 11 executes a gotoAndPlay("menu11", 1); action. But instead of going to menu11, it goes to the next scene, menu12, and then stops. Every combination of inserting extra frames, stop actions, changing to gotoAndStop, etc, has not fixed the problem. It seems inconsistent -- sometimes it screws up one way, sometimes another, sometimes not at all -- but most of the time it's not working properly. Is there something I'm missing that would fix this obvious problem?

[F8] GotoAndPlay(frame) - And STAY There
it's a basic problem, but it's a problem for me nonetheless.
my movie has a button that targets the last frame (5). I'm trying to make it gotoAndPlay(5), but if I do that, it only works 50% of the time. The other 50% it goes to frame one and loops back to frame 5. If I use gotoAndStop(5), it'll work once, but then the movie stops all buttons from working.
I tried prevFrame on frame 6 to see if that'd work, but it doesn't. Anyone know how this works???

The plan is to have a ComboBox the only text on the layout and then for the user to just click a type of book (ie: a book regarding Immigration Law or even just to find a Printer) from the ComboBox. The action of clicking the selection would then stop any kind of other movie clips from playing and then play a seperate movie clip from a specific frame. (ie: Someone wanted a book on Immigration law, they click "Immigration Law" from the ComboBox and then the shelf(s) where Immigration Law can be found starts to blink in and out on the map so they know where to go.)
I created the movie clip for the blinking action and gave it the instance name of mc_shelf01 with the action starting frame as fm_start.
Typically I would just use a button and use something along the lines of:
Code:
on(press){
_root.mc_shelf01.goToAndPlay("fm_start");
}
My question is how do I do this in AS3? My experience with flash was strictly AS2 up to this point and I never had to use a ComboBox. I've only used drop downs in other web languages. I would prefer the ComboBox be called from actionscript than just dragging a component on screen.
The ULTIMATE goal is to have the ComboBox populated by an XML page but I don't think that part will be a problem to put in later on. (I could be, and probably am, wrong of course.)
Any Help on this is MUCH appreciated. Thanks so much.

[CS3] GotoAndPlay Current Frame?
I have a movie with 5 buttons and that go to 5 different frame labels. However, if I am on the current frame label and I click the button for that frame label it moves to the next frame label rather than reloading the current one. For example,
Button A should jump to frame label A, B to B and C to C.
However if I am on A and click the button for A it goes to B.
Any advice? Thanks!

External Swf GotoAndPlay Frame...
I am loading an external.swf into a main.swf
Code:
if (totalev>=1) {
if (Student_Score == eventload1[0] && Beek_Score == eventload1[1]) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
this.container.loadMovie(External.swf);
//Note the below line
this.container.gotoAndPlay("Event3");
_global.flag=1;
}
} else {
if(flag!=1)
{
this.gotoAndPlay("start");
}
}
I am trying to make the external movie jump to a different frame, but I can't figure out how to do it...
It seems simple enough-- does anyone have any ideas?

Problem With GotoAndPlay(frame No).
Hi,
My main movie (_root) has ONE frame. From this frame I do my animations by a tween class (scaleTo, alphaTo etc.). This works fine.
I have a mc1 in the library which is being attached to a mc2 by a new linkage name MC1 on the stage.
The mc1 has 50 frames with a stop() at frame 20. How can I tell the mc1 gotoAndPlay(21)?
I have used
ActionScript Code:
_root.mc2.MC1.gotoAndPlay(21);
No luck. Any tips here please?

Need AS3.0 On Release Gotoandplay Frame
Hi all,
I am trying to get a simple button to work with actionscript 3.0.
Need AS3.0 "on release gotoandplay frame". This should be relatively easy but for some odd reason I can't put an action script directly on the button. This is the first time I have used Flash 9 CS3. Can anyone help? I have a deadline to meet. Or can someone send me an example?
Thanks,
Rick
