Linking To A Frame In A Movie
Is there any way I can call a specific frame in my movie from a text link. I have created a site with flash navigation, each time a user enters a section it plays the movie from the beginning. I would like the ability to have it jump to a specific scene or frame label once it been viewed, can I do this?

Linking To A Frame In Another Movie
I've only been working with Flash for the past couple of weeks oon a project (baptism by fire).
The problem that I have run into it that I have two movies that work like a slide show using a "next" and "back" button. The problem is that when I click the "bac" button in movie2, it goes to the beginning of movie1. However, I need it to actually go to the 14th frame in the timeline.
I have been able to target movie1 with the "LoadMovieNum" command, but haven't had any luck beyond that.
I have attached the samples files that I have been with.
Any assistance would be greatly apperciated.

gotoAndPlay(1);

Target not found: Target="pages" Base="_level1"
What is it saying and how should i fix it?
Linking Button To External Movie, Then Frame
Hi guys just wandered if anyone could help me with the following, I am creating a website for a company as a favour.
On one of the pages I have a movie that shows many types of engineering, such as cnc milling, press tools, injection mould tools bla bla, When a user clicks on a button the movie goes to the specific frame within that movie, ie click on cnc milling it scrolls to the cnc milling part and displays the picture and text for that.
Now the problem is I also want this menu bar on other pages of the website so that if the user was on the home page, they could click on a cnc milling button, it would then navigate to the correct webpage with the movie on, then move to the correct frame on the movie with the cnc milling stuff on it.
I hope this makes sence, many thanks for any suggestions.

Button In Movie Clip Linking To Next Frame
I've included a button in a movie clip on frame 1 of the main timeline. The button has a motion tween that ends on frame 76 of the movie clip. I want the button to link to frame 2 on the main timeline. However, when I test the movie, it cycles endlessly without stopping at the end of the movie clip to allow the user to click on the button.
Here's the AS3 code I put on the Actions layer on Frame 76 of the movie clip:
stop();
link_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,link_btnClick);
function link_btn(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
Any ideas? It's for school and I need it done tonight or tomorrow morning by 8 a.m. Central. Yikes.

[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:

Linking To Specific (scene, Frame) In External Movie?
I'm terribly sorry if this gets asked all the time, but I wasn't sure what exactly I would be looking for on my own!
I had a pretty large swf (900Kb!) that I have now chopped into 4 separate swf's, to lower the files sizes. Now what on Earth is my next step?
Does each individual swf go into its own html page (as i would assume)? If so, how do I direct the push of a button, in movie_A, to a very specific scene and frame of movie_B in a totally different web page?
I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer me!

Help With Linking To Specific Frame On External Flash Movie
Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to using Flash, and I've run into a slight problem. ^_^;;
I have made a button to unload the current movie on the stage and load in a different movie, and have accomplished this using behaviors in Flash MX2004.
However, I am unable to have that button go to a specific frame of the newly loaded movie after it gets loaded up.
I have this so far.
on (release) {
//unload Movie Behavior
if(this == Number(this)){
unloadMovieNum(this);
} else {
this.unloadMovie();
}
//End Behavior
//load Movie Behavior
if(this == Number(this)){
loadMovieNum("aboutus.swf",this);
} else {
this.loadMovie("aboutus.swf");
}
//End Behavior
//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
aboutus.swf.gotoAndStop("54");
//End Behavior
}
Is there anything I can do to get it to work properly?
Thanks. ^_^
Button Within A Movie Clip Not Linking To Frame Label?
I have created a menu that is an animated movie clip within Scene 1. I have created several buttons on the menu. I am trying to link those buttons to frame labels which are also in Scene 1. I am using the following actions with Flash 5.
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 1", "Home");
}
This is doing nothing but closing my menu. Is there a trick to allowing buttons within movie clips to include these actions? (telltarget?) Please let me know ASAP if you have any answers.
Button Within Movie Clip Not Linking To Frame Label On Scene 1
Hi
I am using Flash 8. I have created a button with the instance name "painting_1" which is within a scrolling movie clip called "work_scroll". I want the button when clicked to link to a frame labeled "painting1" which is two levels above it on Scene 1.
So it breaks down like this: Scene 1 / scrollpane_work / work_scroll / painting_1 (the button)
I have gone to work_scroll selected the button "painting_1" and added the following actionscript:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop ("Scene 1", "painting1");
}
This does nothing. Please could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you.
Flash 8 - Trouble Linking Button To Specific Frame In Movie Clip On Timeline

GetURL - Linking To A Frame Within A Frame, HOW?
I am trying to use the getURL command to open a url that is a frame contained within another frame, eg: Button in frame X that when clicked will open the html in frame Z ONLY:
-----------------------
|....frame X..........|
-----------------------
|..frame.Y.|..frame.Z.|
-----------------------
- name "TopFrame"
- name "BottomFrame"
-inner frames of "Bottom Frame":
"LeftFrame" & "RightFrame"
I have a button in "frame X" and when clicked, would like the gerURL to open the html file in "frame Z".
Can someone inform me what you would put in the URL and WINDOWS box when Flash5 prompts you to enter the values?
I know it has something to do with including the wored "PARENT" but each time I try attempting this, it opens a completly new popup browse.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Linking To A Frame
I have created a page that has a top frame (mainhead) and a lower frame (mainfoot). In the top frame there is a flash movie that has buttons to navigate the lower frame. I read the tutorial about linking to it but it didn't seem to work as the page opens in a new window rather than the lower frame. The parameters for the getURL action are:
URL: http://www.hotmail.com (I used this address just to test it)
Window: mainfoot
Variables: Don't Send
Any ideas? Thanks,
Jamie

Linking To A Frame
I'm trying to get the button to link to a frame called "body" in my web page... I've tried the following:
<a href="home.html" target="body"><OBJECT classid="clsid:blah blah"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
WIDTH=172 HEIGHT=129>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="My Movie.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFE90A> <EMBED src="My Movie.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFE90A WIDTH=172 HEIGHT=129 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
</OBJECT></a></td>
but it doesn't seem to work...
I've also tried:
on (release) {
getURL ("home.html", "_body");
}
as an action tied to a button in the Flash program. This links the button to the Home page, but places it in it's own frame and not the body frame.
Can some one please point out where I'm going wrong???
Thanks.
M.
(ps I haven't combined the two pieces of code, I've either had the button of the <a href> tag, but not both...)
Linking To A Frame In A MC
I know how to link out of a MC to the main timeline using _parent, but I'm having issues going from the main timeline to a specific frame within the movie clip. (www.better-tools.com/website) I'd like to link the sitemap's subcategories (like FAQ on support) to the frame within the support MC. Right now I can only do a "go here" to the first frame of the movie clip because of how it's placed in the timeline. I tried doing a _parent.support.gotoandplay ("3") thingy but it didn't work.

Linking From Page To Frame
I need some help here...

Linking To A Particular Frame In Another .swf File. How?
I've got many .swf files loaded into my site at any given time. I'm constantly updating everything and building it further and further out. One particular portion of the site I want to turn into a place where you can find all the latest stuff I've changed. So you can go directly there and look at all the new stuff and link straight to it. This means that I need to not only link to an .swf file but I need to tell it exactly what frame it should go to.
How can this be done?
I hope this made sense to someone, I feel like I'm rambling on.
thanks in advance,

Flash Frame Linking
I want to link "text" up to a specific frame, for example frame 1 contains the text that I want to link up, and I want to link it to say frame 40, when the text is clicked on it will jump to that frame.
I also want to revere this and link to frames all over the movie, if someone can post an example piece of action scrip and/or a flash movie that show me how to do it.
I would very much appreciate any help, Thanks in advance
Also if I wanted to turn a flash movie into a screen saver will I need to get additional software in order for me to turn the flash movie into a screen saver?

Linking To A Specific Frame On Another Swf
Hi all,
I am trying to get a button on one swf to go to a specific frame on another swf. I have two movies A.swf and B.swf
I have five frames in A.swf. I have a button in B.swf. I want the button in B.swf to link to frame 4 in A.swf.
To accomplish this, I have the following code:
//code on the button in B.swf
on (press){
loadMovieNum("A.swf",1);}
on (release){
with (_level1) {
gotoAndPlay ("frame5");
}
}It works absolutely great (for anyone who wants to know how to link to a specific frame on another swf). The only problem is that when I execute this in 'Test Movie' you can see B.swf under A.swf. How do I get rid of B.swf so users can see only A.swf and the contents in frame 4?
I've tried almost everything, including changing level 1 to level 0. In this case, the first frame of A.swf plays. The playhead does not go to frame 4.
Can anyone help me with this please?
Many thanks.

Frame Linking Problem
Hey everyone, I checked the board and couldn't find anything in relation to my question. So with that said I am having an issue with linking to different frames within the same swf file. Basically I am doing a website and when you click on the different links you go to different frames. Representing pages.
So the actual problem is when you click on the links the content for each page loads on the previous content. For example: If you are on the home page and click on the contact page, you will have the contact information on top of the home information. Hope that makes sense.
Curious if anyone can help.
Thanks in advance.
