Thanks for your help, I went with this in the end:

Hello,

I'm trying to stop a movie clip from moving into view once the text of an external file has been loaded... is there an easy way to achieve this?

(The text is actually a 'swap' from...

That's what I have, except I'd like the function to be called when the movie first loads too, so I thought that:



would work, but it doesn't seem to? (At the moment it goes to the labeled frame...

If I do the following it doesn't start the instance playing, but does trace the "checking blog content":


If I put the same action on a button and click it, it works just fine?

I was declaring it somewhere else, but unsuccessfully it seems (even when global)!

That works a treat though, you absolute star... thanks so much!

Oops, that's just a typo in the post (I had some alternative script attempts as a note originally and didn't delete it all properly.)

Shouldn't the onRelease events within the function init() act...

Any help would be much appreciated, the script below is meant to hide/show a movie clip depending if it is activated or not, but the variables in the function at the bottom don't seem to be working...

Nevermind, problem solved itelf by adding a bit more as to the on button...

on (release) {
_root.actsound.gotoAndStop(1)
_root.actsound.gotoAndPlay(2)
prevFrame();
}

Still clueless though!...

Hi,
I have a movie clip with two frames with stop commands on each, I place a sound off button on the first frame and sound on button on the second.
The sound off button has the following as...

Isn't that for an mc behaving as a button though? If you're just using a regular button (not so good) then do the up command as a reverse tween of the over command, then make the button invisible for...

Heh, found out what the problem was, I was changing the variable then pointing back to the wrong stage of the timeline (1 frame after the mc, doh!)

Gonna try to port this back into my flash doc... for anyone else who's having issues here's the flash file that works for controlling a mc using a global variable. (Although I here global variables...

Ok I seem to be making a bit of progress in a completely new flash doc...

function init() {
if (x==1) {
instancename.gotoAndPlay(frame);
} else {
instancename.gotoAndPlay(1)
}
}

Is it something to do with when a function outside of the mc is called?
(Although I'm placing the function on its own keyframe aligning with the target mc... and if the process was called earlier...

Well even if I remove all the variable bits & simply try to target my movieclip using

instancename.gotoAndPlay(frame)

it doesn't seem to work? Which is bizarre considering if I put similar...
