Flash :: Scenes...button?

Going To The Next Scenes Via A Button
here is the scoop.

I have 2 scenes. sceneA has movie clip on it. In the movie clip there is a button. I want that button to take the user to the sceneB in the movie.

This is my script:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("b",1);
}

I was thinking all I had to do is just go to the root and say goto and stop at sceneB (B). But that is not working.

Can some one please tell me what i'm missing.

Button For Going Between Scenes
Hi there, I've created a flash file that contains 9 different scenes. In each scene, I've got the buttons that should enable the viewer to flip between each of them, but my code isn't working. This is what I'm using... can anyone help?

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene1", "btn1");
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Feature1", "btn1");
}

Changing Scenes Using A Button?
I have a button nested in a movieclip. I want to be able to click on the nested button and change scenes in my movie. I have tried assigning on (release) events to the button, but it doesn't advance the movie to another scene. Anybody have any ideas?

Here's the structure:

movie > movieclip > button (with action):

on (release) {
**gotoAndPlay ("_root.Scene2", 1);
}

I've tried replacing "_root.Scene2" with just "Scene2" but I've had no luck. Thanks in advance.

Button Won't Change Scenes...
hi

I have a movie with 2 scenes named preload and rest..

in preload there is an mc with some animation in it and a button with this actionscript assigned to it

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("rest", 1);
}

but when I click the button it goes to the first frame of the mc it's in, how can I make it play frame 1 of the rest scene

Connecting The Scenes With A Button
I designed 2 scenes in Flash. I have a button on scene 1 that suppose to take me to the second scene but it doesn't for some reason. My button has those actions on it:

on (release) {
with (_root.please) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2", "anime3");
}
}

"please" is my second scene's animation title. I also titled the instance name as "please" too. (in second scene). And inside of the animation (because you can see only a line at the stage in scene 2) the real animation begins. I located the label "anime 3" at the beginning of the inside anime.

I guess I described it in a most complicated way...

Thanks.

Next Button In Navigating Scenes
I busy making a presentation for my work using Flash MX 2004 professional. The whole thing is a continuous media file that had to be broken up into smaller pieces. The problem comes in with the user controls. There is a stop, play, next and back buttons. They all work fine expept the next button. From scene1 when you press next, it goes to scene2. But in scene2 when you press next it just stays there. It doesn't go to the next scene.

Here is the code used for each instance:

on (release) {
stopAllSounds();
nextScene();
}

Someone please help!!!!!!

Button, Stop, Scenes Uh?
i've just started flash and i've been searching the net for problems to my movie as they come about. at the moment i have two scenes , at the end of scene 1 i have a nagivation menu, which links to scene 2 (and more as i make them). at first the buttons weren't working and then i realized taking out the stop function allowed the buttons to work, i think, but then it runs strait into scene 2. i know im coming off as a huge newb, but any help would be great... project is due tomorrow lol going crazy.

[help] Button Flickering Between Scenes
This will probably sound like a ridiculous question, but for some reason it has left me puzzled.

I am busy with a game that I am creating and when the game is over you get sent to the "gameover" screen and then from that screen there is a button that is supposed to send you back to the main menu...but when i click on the button it won't take me to the menu. Instead it just flickers between the current scene and the main menu scene.

Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be happening? Its really puzzling me and I am so desperate for Help, I would really appreciate it.

I actually feel stupid even asking this question. It's not that I haven't put a stop() somewhere...i just don't understand why this could be happening.

Enter Button And Scenes
Hello eveyone, this is my first post.

Anyways, I am programming a game right now and I found a horrible problem. When I press the "enter" key it switches to the next scene. Now I have tried commands like, if key down do something else.... it just does whatever I told it to do...and still goes to the next scene. Is there some way to negate this effect, or make the enter key unusable? Any help would be great, gotta finish coding this thing by tommorow O_O!! haha, I find the worst bugs till its to late...

A Button Jumping To Different Scenes
Hey I created my flash website with Multiple scenes for each category/page. The problem I am having is placing the movie inside of a Button. When I put the movie clip inside of the button (I wanted a cool rollover effect) it won't jump to the frame, but before I put the movie clip in the button it would goto the correct frame. Now the code for the Movie clip is:

stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
};
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
play();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
};

and when I remove the section of this.onRollOut and onRollOver the button works fine, but then the button doesn't have a rollover effect. Can someone help me

Button Links To Different Scenes
Hey all,

This is so basic it's almost embarassing to post about, but I'm in a pinch and can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong...

I'm using MX Professional 2004. My movie has four scenes; "Main" which plays on load, then three other scenes: "Whitepapers", "Products", and "Brochure". Main includes three buttons that, when clicked, should bring you to one of the three other scenes. For example, the Prodcuts button should go to frame 1 of the "Products" scene. But regardless of which button you click, it plays the "Whitepapers" scene, presumably because its next in the linear scene sequence.

Here's the actionscript for the Products button. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've been doing simple scripts like this in Flash MX for years and and only having this problem in MX 2004. Thanks!

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Products,1");
}

Button To Change Scenes?
I'm a bit new to actionscript 3 so be patient! I'm trying to createa button on the stage which links to a different scene (scene 2) when its pressed, and moves the playhead to a different frame for mouseover (shows button summary) the problem I have is that the jump to a different frame (via framelabel) works flawlessly, however when I try to jump to another scene, it doesnt do anything when the mouse is clicked.

I'm wondering if someone more experienced could give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Attach Code

stop();

import flash.display.*;

Button Problems With Scenes
I have a movie were there are multiple scenes. When I click on a button the first time it goes to the appropriate scene then if I click on that same button it automatically loads the next scene in the list.

I vaguely remember there is a working around for this problem but I can't seem to find the info.

All my button actions are like:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("league info", 1); using scene name & frame Number
}

I even tried
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Home"); using a Frame Label
}

Thanks in advance for the help.

Using One Button To Play Two Scenes?
How do I make one button play two scenes in sequence?
I can get the first part (go to and play scene x frame 1) but once that has finished, I want to 'go to and play' another scene without clicking the button again.

The first scene to be played will be the same for each of my buttons, but the second scene is different for each one.

For example....
press button A - plays scene 2 then scene 4
press button B - plays scene 2 then scene 8

How To Change Scenes When Clicking On A Button?
I have two scenes in my movie. I have created a text object in one layer that rotates. At the end of rotation I declared it a button. Now I want to set that button's property to open a second scene. However I have not been able to do so. I've used the goto action and i can't get it to work. I am not sure if this is correct but I put a motion tween on it because i'm hoping this button's goto action will span for several frames. What's weird is that even though i have put a stop on scene 1, after I added the goto action to the button, the stop no longer works. The movie runs through the first scene and then the second and back to the first, etc. w/out me having pushed the button that is supposed to take me to the second scene. What am I doing wrong here? Please help.....Thanks!

Controlling Scenes From A Nested Button
hi,
I have a movie clip that contains an invisible button (gives the roll in/roll out effect) but i am having problems making the button in the MC change the movie scene. will this button only control the MC timeline? or can I attach some script to make the scene change? I am using MX and "GotoAndPlay scene, label" etc doen't work (where as geturl does work) Do i need to use _root to direct a scene change from within the movieclip? Any advice appreciated.

Flash 5: Button Actions = 3 Scenes
This is probably so simple that I will kick myself in a bit. But I am stumped, and I've tried to simplify this a lot.

I have 3 scenes to my movie. The only difference is:

Scene 1: has a few animations, and has unique text in the center of the stage.

Scene 2: No animations, looks exactly like the final frame of Scene 1. The only change is that the text in the middle of the page has changed. I want to go to this scene when a button in Scene 1 or scene 3 is clicked.

Scene 3: No animations, looks exactly like the final frame of Scene 1 and Scene 2, except that the text in the middle of the page has changed and is a scrolling text block, saved as a movie clip. I want to go to this scene when someone clicks a button in Scene 1 or Scene 2.

For my buttons, I thought I could simply use:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2", 1);
}

But it's not working. When I play my movie (publish preview, default html) the first scene works fine...the animations work, but Scene 2 comes up without ever clicking the button. I have two other buttons in each scene which open a new URL, and those work fine. Obviously I am doing something wrong...and it's most likely because I tried to simplify this, in my brain at least. (I previously had the various pieces of text saved as MC's, but I couldn't get those to work properly either.)

Any thoughts anyone would care to share? And is having the 3 scenes going to increase overall movie size dramatically?

IF Statement In A Button / Jumpin Scenes
If any1 out there can help you have no idea how much i would appreciate it. My problem is gettin the game to jump to the correct scene, as i have a button and once clicked it should jump to either scene 5 or 6 depending which option the user has chosen from the menu. Only problem being at the moment it is not following the if statement and jumpin striaght to scene 6.

Ive uploaded part of the files here as the whole program is quite big.The part of the file im having problems with is in SCENE 2.

The actionscript for the "click here to start game button" is accessed by double clicking on the button itself.

The actionscript for the two is accessed by double clicking on the "click here to start game button"............ then scroll right u shud c 2 orange txt buttons 1"lukeskywalker" 2"han solo"....... dble click on one of the buttons and the code 4 it is in the action panel I just need the "click here to play game" button to work (i.e. jump to the correct scene).

Using A Button To Jump Scenes- Should Be Simple
I just started using 2004 and switched from windows to mac. Now either I'm just missing something or it's changed. I create my button and go to apply the action to it to jump to the next scene. Didn't there used to be some way to navigate and pick the scene as opposed to writing the script? Am I missing it?

Sound Button Help? Movie With Three Scenes
I have a movie and a soundbutton_mc on the main timeline that mutes/unmutes the global sound. ( so it is only 2 frames, a toggle basically)

well, my .fla has 3 scenes and this soundbutton_mc is in each scene.
on the main timeline in scene 1 I have:
code: globalVolume = newSound();

the actionscript for my 2 frame soundbutton_mc is:
code: on (release) {
if (_root.globalvolume.getVolume()>0) {
_root.globalvolume.setVolume(0);
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
_root.globalvolume.setVolume(100);
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}
The problem:
The sound button starts off in the "on" frame( has a graphic that tells the user, sound is on) but if I mute the sound, when I get to the next scene, the sound button goes back to the "on" frame (frame1) but the sound is still muted. I want the movie to know if the user turned the sound on or not and keep the soundbutton_mc displaying the correct frame.

it's not the actual sound that is the problem but which frame of the soundbutton _mc that is shown when jumping between scenes, depending on wether or not the user muted it in a previous scene

[F8] Button Problem, Calling Upon Scenes
I have a flash movie that is completely working with buttons. I now had to add a regular html page. I can get the flash movie button to call upon the html page but I am having trouble getting the flash navigation on the html page to call upon the flash movie with the different scenes.

Is there a way to call upon each of the individual scenes in the flash movie?

The site is posted at www.sandsmktg.com
and the problem page is the contact page( it loads really slow- any suggestions).

Thanks in advance for all help.

Button In MovieClip To Control Several Scenes
Ok...

So I have a Flash movie with a couple Scenes. I have multiple MovieClips on my scenes that have button embedded in them. For the most part I have them working right. I have _root call-outs to specific Frame Labels for those and they work.

What I ran into was this problem. I have an 'About' button that I would like to have an "are you here, well go here... if not... go here".

Sorry for my lack of geek talk... that was my best way to simplify what I'm trying to do.

Basically, I have a movie clip that shows up on all my scenes. If I tell it to on (release) and do the call out to the frame label to go to _root.gotoAndPlay("framelabel"); then it works fine.

The problem is that I have some stuff going on that transitions my scene back to a main menu situation. So I need to find out how to script my button that is embedded in a movie clip to ask if its on the Scene "Design" it needs to go to frame 17 and play. And if you are NOT on the Scene 'Design" then you need to go to and play Scene "About" frame 1.

This is what I tried.....

on (release) {
if on ("Design") gotoAndPlay("Design", 17); else
_root.gotoAndPlay("framelabel");
}

I am a COMPLETE novice at ActionScripting. Please... can anyone help me!!???

Animated Button In A Movie Not Going To Other Scenes
Hi I'm sort of new to actionscripting.

I have an animated Menu that is inside a movie clip. I have the animation working fine. The problem, if when I try to add an actionscript to the button instance on the stage, it doesn't go to another scene. I have tried getURL and it works fine. I didn't use the default "Scene 1" name I renamed it and still didn't work.

I used:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("home",1);
}

This is the link to the file:

Newbie: Use Button's To Play Scenes
I know this is a primitive way of doing it, but maybe exactly because of that I wasnt able to find a solution for that.

Simple: I have 2 butons, 3 scenes and I want that button 1 plays scene2 and that button 2 plays scene 3 (scene1 is some sort of selection menu).
But it wont work. Both buttons just go to scene 2 and then the movie stays inside of it. Every scene has a stop(); at the end, and the buttons are also included in all scenes, but they just go to scene 2 and then play it again and again (if I click on them again and again).
I'm not able to go to any other scene (although the buttons have of course diffrent action scripts)
Has anyone here the...time to help?

Back Button To Previous Scenes Within SWF?
Hi guys,
I was just wondering if there is a nice simple way to return to the previous scene a user has visited. I was going to use a variable, giving it a different value on every scene and then using a massive else..if statement on the back button, but I was wondering if there was an automated way to do this in Flash MX. Maybe Named Anchors?? However, as I understand it Named anchors are for exploiting the Back button in IE, where as this is going to be published as an .exe and not as a website. Is there a way to use named anchors for a flash button? or else is there an easier way to do this and perhaps store multiple previous scenes instead of just the scene visited immeadtley before and then back to current scene? Thanks alot in advance.
-Keyper.

P.S. I'm not loading any ex. SWF's on other levels, only moving between scenes in the same SWF.

Changing Scenes At Click Of Button...
Well, I'm just having problem after problem with Flash MX ActionScripting, but I could swear I'm doing everything right. I'm having to approach my project from so many different angles, and just when I've figured something out, bam! Something else doesn't work.

Anyway, I've programed my buttons to switch scenes (from any scene to certain other scenes) by programming the button with:

ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("artist", 1);
}

meaning when the button is released, go to frame 1 of the scene titled "artist"

I've also tried the same with _root.gotoAndPlay...

When I test and click on the buttons, nothing happens.

Am I missing something?

Other problems I'm experiencing:
-Buttons are flashing between their UP and OVER colors
-On the main scene, I have to program 3 of the 4 buttons to go to frame 15 (for instance) by actually programming them to go to frame 16. The first button will still go to the actual frame it's programmed to go to.
-I am using Flash MX, could that be a problem? lol

Trying to make light of the situation,
Scott

P.S. Thanks in advance for your help!

Not Able To Change Scenes From Button Action Script
Hi all,

I have a button that I have downloaded from the flashkit site. It has been done as a movie symbol with a button symbol linked in to one of the layers on the movie button.

Hope that is not too confusing?

I am trying to make the button move to a new scene after "button release" but the area where the drop down box for all the different scenes is grey and wont let me selest it.
Any ideas what to do?

The button I downloaded was "button2-volkan_d-2231"

Regards,
Anthony...
