Flash :: Help On GotoAndStop

Gotoandstop: Help Help Help
I need help..please

MovieA:
I have a button w/ the following script
on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("movN.swf", 1);
_level1.gotoAndStop("NormanE");
}

Movie "movN.swf":
1st frame is empty with script "stop"
2~6 frame: is label "JohnL" (picture)
7~11 frame is label "NormanE" (picture)

Objective:
When I click on the button, I want it to load up movieN and stop at the NormanE frame.

Problem:
First click, it will load up movN and stay at the first frame. "I know it's the [stop] that cause the problem"
If you click on it again, it will go to NormanE frame, but then NormanE frame will disappear and conintue to play back to the first empty frame.

HELP:

I need to know how I can stop at the NormanE frame and not let it continue to play back to that first stop frame. Is it because of the _level1 script? PLease help me..

PS. I tried to place stop at every place..and that didn't seem to help.

Gotoandstop?
When using the gotoandstop() command, how can I use the value in a combobox's data field as the frame number to goto?

I'm a newbie so please keep that in mind in your reply.

Thanks for any help.

GoToAndStop
Hi All,

I'm sort of new to Flash and Flash MX so I sometime have problems with the simplest things.....

Ok, my problem is this, I have a button object located inside a movieclip. When this button is pressed, it suppose to go to a Frame Label located in the main scene (eg. Scene 1). But everytime I add the action gotoandplay or gotoandstop to the button, it just go back to the beginning of the movieclip rather then going to the frame label in scene 1.

I've tried adding things like "_root.FrameName", "_parent.Framename" and "_root.FrameName" but none of these works. I know it's just something simple, can anyone help me please?

Thank you in advance!!!!

GotoAndStop ?
Hi,

How would I use a dynamic text box to go to a specific frame?

This code won't work:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop(_root.bookmark.text);
}

I tried assigning it to a variable(ie. var bkmrk = bookmark.text) and putting it in quotes.... but no luck.

Gotoandstop
i have a clip inside another clip that has a button that send the main timeline to the frame 32, but it doesn´t do it.
This is the code:
on (release) {
this._parent._parent.gotoAndStop(32);
}

but if i change the frame to 52, it works perfect...

why this is happening¿?

GotoAndStop Help
I have a movie with several different scenes in it. At the end of one scene, I want it to automatically go back to the previous scene. How do I do that? I've tried pasting a gotoAndStop ("main, 1"); action in the last frame but it doesn't work. thanks.

i put the following script on a clip

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(85);
}

but it doesnt work.
what's wrong?

Gotoandstop Help...
well, I just made one scene with 26 frames in it...
and it still didnt work. Here is what I have:
yes, 25 and 26 are keyframes
I have one picture that stays at the same spot for all 26 frames. I want it to jump to frame 25 when clicked on and then stops there. Then there is an image above that picture that moves along the screen that I want to jump to frame 26 on mouseover and stops there.

Also, The movie ends at frame 24 and then loops back to 1..

The first picture actionscript is the following:

on (release) {

//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
this.gotoAndStop("25");
//End Behavior

}

The second picture actionscript is this:

on (rollOver) {

//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
this.gotoAndStop("26");
//End Behavior

}

What is wrong here? I dont understand

if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
_root.inventory.gotoAndStop(2);
}

For some reason its not working I dont know why my other problem is I actually want it on key press "i" but I dont know the code for it so if anyone can give me that. . .

Help With GotoAndStop...
could any know how to do this pls help..

function displayNumber(){
var ramdomNumber:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
trace(ramdomNumber);
gotoAndStop(ramdomNumber);<< my problem
updateAfterEvent();
};

var numInterval = setInterval(displayNumber, 1000);

gotoAndStop value should be evaluated as frame name not as frame number. coz i want to make a random display of frames.

Gotoandstop
this is my problem
When a button is pressed I want it too go to frame 2 and stop.

this is the script I'm putting on the button (not on the frame itself):
on(release){
goto and stop ();
}

what is the problem with this script?

(i know it donst have a bit too tell it where to go, but I have no idea where too put it!)

GotoAndStop
Ok this should be an easy one...

If I use the following AS, my Bgrounds movie goes to and stops at frame 5 on the timeline. code: BGrounds.gotoAndStop(5);

So why is it if assign 5 to myValue then the gotoAndStop() doesn't work. For example: code: myValue =5;
Bgrounds.gotoAndStop(myValue);

Am I missing something?

[F8] GotoAndStop?
how do i use the gotoAndStop command on a button so that when it is selected information appears beside it and also another button that when selected makes more info appear with another button etc etc so as the buttons are selected in sequence the page gets covered with this info.

has this got anything to do with frameLabels and the timeline?

Gotoandstop Help --- Please
hi peeps,

I'm having trouble with something that should be simple ( probably just me )

in my scene I have 10 frames , each frame is stopped and runs a separate movie within each frame. the movie on frame 1 is called "movie1" and has 40 frames within it. On frame 10 on the main timeline ( root ) I have a button called "gohome" (in the instance name) that I would like ( once clicked ) to take the user to frame 20 within "movie1" movie on frame 1 ( I have labelled frame 20 "new" ).

I thought the script should look something like this

gohome.onRelease = function() {
_root.movie1.gotoAndPlay("new");
}

but It won't do anything,

If i do

gohome.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndStop("start"); <--- btw "start" is frame 1's label
}

then it works, in as much as it plays "movie1" but i am trying to start the movie half way through on the users second time round.

Please help it's driving me nuts.

Thanks

ps , posted in flash 8 forum aswell but realised i am using flash mx pro 2004 - so re posted here

GotoAndStop
I am using Flash 3 and am attempting to put a gotoAndStop command in my Action Script file. I want to move the playhead to the appropriate frame when a random number is chosen. The confounded Flash Help is not clear as to what verbage should go in the parentheses after gotoAndStop.

Here is a cut out of my script. The 3 within the gotoAndStop is the frame to which I want the playhead to stop.

{

nChance = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 16);
//if (nChance = 1 || 2)
if(nChance == 1 || nChance == 2)
{
EndingString= " Move Right";
x=x+10;
gotoAndStop(3:Object):void
}

If anyone can help, I'll be forever grateful as the fate of the free world relies on my figuring this out.

hi,
ive got a button, when i click that button, it goes to a frame called "play" and plays a random animation, but how do i write it so it goes to that frame, plays the animation, but then goes to another frame (i.e play2) after its done?

Thanks for any help

GotoAndStop?
Forgive me I'm new to this and I bet someone can answer this in 2seconds flat...

But i've got a number of frames with different content on them.
As the user clicks a button it should take them to the respective frame

(I'm doing it through the "gotoAndstop" function)

At the moment when I go to test it the file runs through all of them which is obviously not what I want. How do I resolve this

A lil help?
Thanks in advance

Gotoandstop Not Going To :P
Hey, I have an actions layer in my timeline to which I have applied the following code:

Quote:

infobtn.onrelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);

}

I have a Stop; action in my frame 1.

My problem is that when the button is clicked, it won't go to frame 2.

Where am I going wrong?

GotoAndStop (var)
I'm pulling some numbers from a text file and I can trace the number, I can send it to a text field, i just cant use it as a variable to gotoAndStop to a frame.

Example:

text file has:

Code:
&frame=50
I've loaded the file in flash and declared:

Code:
frameVAR=this.frame
And as I said, from this point I can trace it, it comes up 50... I can send it to atext field and it will say 50. But trying to use it to declare a frame number, just donest work via:

Code:
gotoAndStop(frameVAR);
Any ideas?

GotoAndStop....
Hi guys,

i'm trying to teach the btn in my menu to move to a certain frame on mouse release.

Code:
on (rollOver) {
this.over = true;
moveTheButts();
}
on (rollOut) {
this.over = false;
moveTheButts();
}
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", "chi");
}
btn doesn't work: the frame I declare doesn't appear.

the movie use AS 1.0 cos I've started from a source file with that code version. But, for the littel I know of AS, the inscuction for gotoAndStop are in AS 2.0...

is the prod due to this? how to solve it?
thanks in advance...HELP!

Gotoandstop Help
Okay so I am really new to flash. All I want to do is link a button to a different frame. More detailed, I want to link the button "Documentation" to a different frame, which is labelled "Docs" and stop there. I have tried all of the codes below but it will not link.

(The codes below are in the Actions for the Documentation button, not the whole frame)

Documentation.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop("Docs");
};

Documentation.on(release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(Docs);
}

_root.Documentation.gotoAndStop("Docs");

I have also been getting the following output error:

**Warning** The linkage identifier 'Docs' was already assigned to the symbol 'Documentation', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'Documentation', since linkage identifiers must be unique.

Well if anyone could help me out that would be great!

GotoAndStop(this) = Is It Possible?
Hi, Im putting together a little memory card game but I´ve ran into a little problem. Ok it should be simple, ok here is the situation: I have a script that works perfectly for the game it self but the only problem I have is that I want to able to stop on a frame in the cards MC and show a picture.

Code:
trace(this):// Gives in the output: _level0.card7.inbut
this._parent.gotoAndStop(this);
If a card is pressed it gives out the card´s number and some other stuff. So my idea was that I could just make the cards frames with f.e. ("_level0.card7.inbut") as a label for all the cards not just 7. So I thought I only needed to put in gotoAndStop(this)... But that dosn´t work so the question is:

Is there some way to convert this into a string or something, so it can be used in the gotoAndStop(this) function...?

Can anyone help me?

GotoAndStop In As3?
Hello,

I have an animation in a movie clip which are stored inside a movie clip on 3 frames. I am trying to get the ball rolling as it is moved by the arrow keys, but it only goes to the first frame of that animation and stops. Please take a look at my attached file. Thank you very much in advance.

my code looks like this:

ActionScript Code:
var mRight:Boolean;
var mLeft:Boolean;

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,KeyPressed);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,KeyReleased);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterFRAME);

function KeyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT) {
mLeft = true;
mRight = false;
}
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT) {
mRight = true;
mLeft = false;
}
}
function KeyReleased(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT) {

}
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT) {

GotoAndStop(what?);
hi everyone,

i am new here. and i have a question which might be of the sort that i think seems easy, and probably is, but might not be. so here is a shot at it.

in my hypothetical movie clip: when i click on one of the menu items (button_btn), i want it to gotoAndStop(); to a frame ("desired frame"), on a specific frame ("frame name") on my main timeline.

this is all sort of vague, i know, but i can give more detailed info if need be.

so it's like this so far...

this.button_btn.onPress = function(){
with(_root.frames["frame name"]){
pages.gotoAndStop("desired frame");
}
}

this isn't working for me. i'm using AS2 in Flash CS3. any help would be really appreciated.

GotoAndStop() ?
Hey guys, I dont know what is going on with my code but it doesnt seem to work well.

Here's my code:

ActionScript Code:
var card:MovieClip;
var cardX:Number;
var cardY:Number;
var container:MovieClip;

container = new MovieClip();

cardX = 75;
cardY= 50;

card = new mcCard();
container.addChild(card);
card.visible = true;
card.x = cardX;
card.y = cardY;

card.gotoAndStop("Ace");

I have created a MovieClip called mcCard, and there are 2 layers. One layer with 10 blank frames with the name "Ace". Another layer with 10 frame with a picture of a card in it.

I thought that my code was gonna display the card on the screen but when I run it , it doesnt seem to work... Can you guys please help me?

Thanks alot,
Dieuz

Is there anyway of stopping a movie clip timeline from a button in the main timeline other than targetting a frame number or label, with gotoAndStop? I want to stop a mc animation as soon as I click the button.

GotoAndStop
Hi, I'm new to Flash and am trying to load a movie from a button but go to a particular frame. I have a .swf file called InvitationEastern that has fireworks playing when it first opens. Then buttons appear to take you to other pages. From any of those pages I want to go back to InvitationEastern but not have the fireworks play. I want to be back at the buttons so I can go to a different page. It seems like it should be easy enough but of course it doesn't work. It starts from the beginnigng. I tried the script below both with and without "root" but it always starts from the first frame.

on (release) {loadMovieNum("InvitationEastern.swf", 2);
root.gotoAndStop(52);
}

Thanks for any help you can offer.

GotoAndStop HELP
Hi

I have a continuous timeline with intermitent stop();s.

I want to set up a Next/Previous Keypress using the arrow keys.

my invis button is called - start_btn

On the Right arrow I want the playhead to just play next frame.
On the Left arrow I want the playhead to GoBack to the Previous stop(); action.

Can this be achieved instead of targeting Frame Labels or Frame Numbers???

If I'm going the wrong way about this please let me know.
It's a slide show, ala powerpoint so it has page slides and text reveals.

Thanks

GotoAndStop Help
Good afternoon people. I'm teaching myself flash and an having difficulty in getting the gotoAndStop feature working correctly and I'm asking for your help in understanding it. I have a site that has flash at the top that plays it's frames in the main index.html. On subsequent pages which are selectable from the main flash, I'd like to open the subsequent page and gotoandstop ad a particular frame. What happens now is the whole animation plays in it's entirety on the subsequent pages. Basically the flash is a description of areas on the site.

The flash displays pictures and text for say sectionA sectionB & sectionC with a replay button at the end. I have corresponding buttons for those sections in the flash that are selectable. When I select sectionA, the page for sectionA loads fine but the whole animation plays again. What I'd like is for the sectionA page to load and only display the frame that corresponds to sectionA in the flash. Here is where I think the relevant instructions go, but for the life of me I can't get it.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and thanks.

Attach Code

The flash code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
text = percent+"%";
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

The sectionA page that references the flash:

GotoAndStop(value)
ok here's the problem I am creating multible objects from an array which holds values like this;

PHP Code:

object_array[0] = [["type1",xpos,ypos],["type2",xpos,ypos]];

i create the objects like so;

PHP Code:

for (i=0; i<_root.mission_array[_root.mission].length+1; i++) {
        _root.attachMovie("enemy2", "e_"+i, i+200);
        _root["e_"+i]._x = _root.base._x+_root.mission_array[_root.mission][i][1];
        _root["e_"+i]._y = _root.base._y+_root.mission_array[_root.mission][i][2];
        _root["e_"+i].gotoAndStop(_root.mission_array[_root.mission][i][0]);
        }

it will do everything except tell the clip to gotoAndStop at the right frame. I can't figue out why it doesn't work. Anyone got the answer?

GotoAndStop Help
Hello, i am new to flash mx 2004, and am stuck on what seems should be straight-forward. I am trying to make a game using tiles, and have a class called buildmap, with the following function

public static function buildGame(map) {
var mapWidth = map[0].length;
var mapHeight = map.length;
for (var i = 0; i<mapHeight; ++i) {
for (var j = 0; j<mapWidth; ++j) {
var name = "t_"+i+"_"+j;
_root.attachMovie("tile", name, i*100+j*2);
_root[name].gotoAndStop((map[i][j]+1));
_root[name]._x = (j*30);
_root[name]._y = (i*30);
}
}
}

but when i test the movie the gotoAndStop() call does not work and it just plays all the frames in the attached movie.
Any ideas??

Gotoandstop On An Mc
I have a flash movie that plays an intro and then stops. the last frame contain buttons etc for navigating the site. The buttons are in a movie clip named menu. when a user clicks a button it loads a new swf over the top of the original intro (stopped frame), amongst other actions see below:

on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(15);
loadMovieNum("wwd.swf", 2);
}
on (rollOver) {
unloadMovieNum(1);
loadMovieNum("navigatewwd.swf", 1);
}
on (rollOut) {
unloadMovieNum(1);
loadMovieNum("infocenter.swf", 1);
}

To these actions i want to add an action to gotoandstop a specified frame (lets say frame 20 for example) on the main intro. (this will be a plain white frame) I want it to do this before loading the movie onto level 2.

does this make sense?

my reason for doing this is so that the main intro frames are not visible behind the movies loaded to level 2. as i transition through the various pages of the site the background (ie the stopped frame of the intro) flashes briefly before the new swf is loaded on level 2.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

GotoAndStop Won't Go
Hi, please see my coding here. I had applied this script to four of the mc(aboutus,advertiser,history,contactus) but just one of those run this script perfectly, this is funny. Other 3 of them failed to run in the last gotoAndStop(1), that means only 1 of them will go back to frame1, others will not go back. What happen??

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.closebtn._visible = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.btn1.onRelease = function() {
_root.fco.dd += 2;
_root.fco.aboutus.swapDepths(_root.fco.dd);
gotoAndPlay(1);
};
if (this._currentframe == 24) {
_root.closebtn._visible = true;
_root.contents.loadMovie("kocha.swf");
}
_root.closebtn.onRelease = function() {
_root.closebtn._visible = false;
_root.contents.loadMovie("");
_root.fco.aboutus.gotoAndStop(1);//this one will not go and stop on the others 3
};
}

GotoandStop()
Something very very strange has hapened.

My code wont work

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!walking) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
gun++;
_root.gun.duplicateMovieClip("gun"+gun, gun);
_root["gun"+gun]._visible = true;
}
}

Code:
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
That part dont work.
So I want it so when I press SPACE it will go inside my clip and play the shooting anmiation withch is the Second frame.

On that second frame is no stop action nothing.

ANy help.

GotoAndStop(1) Of A Different MC
I have a mc that I use as a stop/play button for music. One the main stage there are 3 of these buttons for 3 different songs. One frame one of each MC there is a triangle for play with this code:
stop();

btn_play.onRelease = function (){
stopAllSounds();
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Then on frame 2 there is a square for stop with this code:

stop();

btn_stop.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop(1);
stopAllSounds();
}

It works fine as far as stopping and playing. The stopAllSounds is to prevent the music from overlapping in case the user didn't press stop before playing a different song.

Here's the problem:

If the user presses play to hear a song then wants to hear another song so he decides to click play on a different song without first clicking the stop button there a problem.

The problem is that he is still stopped on frame 2 of the first song therefor the square is still visible. In this case in order to hear the first song again he would have to double click.

My question is:
Is there any way, from the main timeline, I can tell it onRelease of a specific button within a specific buttion to make a different mc to got frame 1?

Gotoandstop
I have a link that goes to the name 5, that works here:
on (release) {
_root.link = 5;
_root.play();
}

But I want it to go to the Casual frame which is inside of 5, is this possible?

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("casual");
}

MCs, Buttons And GotoAndStop
I have this button. It's inside a group, and the group is inside an MC. the rollOver and rollOut commands work perfect (they're controlling another mc)

But, my

Code:
on(release) { _root.gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 3); }
doesn't work. I do not understand why!

I think it has something to do with the fact that the button is inside an mc. But that shouldn't matter!

EDIT>> I made this test.

Code:
on(release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 3);
_root.text = "1234";
}

Where _root.text is a dynimac text field. When I clicked my button the numbers were shown. That means that my button in itself works perfect, but my gotoAndStop command isn't what it should be.

GotoAndStop In An External SWF
Hello,

In my main movie, I have a preloader which runs to the main page OK. In the main page I have two movie clips. One is the menu system and the other is a container for loading in external swf's. Both I have give instance names - "menu" and "movie_target" respectively.

When I load an external swf using the menu system into the "movie_target", I am trying to tell it to goto and stop on a specific frame within that swf. However this will not work whatever I have tried.

The code I am using in my menu system is :

on (release) {
loadMovie ("mymovie.swf", "_root.movie_target")
_root.movie_target.gotoAndStop (2)

I have tried a number of things, including using frame labels, setting variables in the root and trying to use that variable and the frame number/label. I am at a toal loss now. Please help.

Thanks.

Loadmovie & Then Gotoandstop
hi...

i have a problem with flash/actionscript like this:

i have 8 buttons which are loading a swf in another movie. there are loading always the same button, except clicking on button 1 should load the move an d begin then with frame 1, for example button 5 should load the movie an the go to frame 5...

btw. the movie/swf which is loaded through the buttons contains 2 scenes... the first scene is a preloader... when all eight pictures where loaded the movie jumps to scene 2 where the 8 picture are.

anybody can help me? i still managed to load the movie with the button but unfortunately the will always go to frame 1.

i use the following scripts:

in the loading button

on (release) {
_root.fenster_bg.loadMovie("play_bg.swf");
targetFrame = 2;
}

and in the loaded movie:

gotoAndStop(targetFrame);

thanx
