going nuts!!

[monz]

hi all flash gurus ( although you probably don't need to be a guru to solve my problem)

I need desperate help with the following
I am building a movie - in the first scene, second frame I have a movie instance, inside that instance I have a button which I want to go to the second scene - frame 1

in need of serious head reconstruction HELP!!

[d-katz]

I am indeed not a guru

the solution is very simple:

simply set the actions of the button to go to second scene, frame one.

Or Did I misunderstand the problem?

[monz]

thanks for the response

I have tried that the actionsctipt I used was

on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("scene 2", 1);
}

and for some reason it goes back to the
first frame of the movie intance???

im lost

Strange...

I tried to reconstruct your movie and ran into the same problem, but now comes the really strange thing, when i assigned a key to the button (On keypress) and then pressed the key, it worked.

Let's hope somebody else reads this and answers.

I think you want "goto and play". you selected the right thing from the list, but you need to check the box marked"goto and play"

[d-katz]

I take that back... (with the key) I just realized that
the key 'enter' takes you to the next frame, has nothing to do with the movie.

Well anyway, Somebody answer?

I tried to do a gotoandPlay but it still doesn't work
= (

what will i do??

it it a bug?
?//? HELP!!

Thanks 4 trying d-kaz

Try labeling the the frame you want to go to.

I just created a simple example of what you are talking about and it works fine.
This is the button code:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2", 1);
}
------------------------
Just make sure that there is a stop action somewhere in scene two or it will bounce back to the first scene

That's it. You need to put a stop action at the frame you want to stop in scene 2.

hehehe a tought one ha...
Well not so tough !!!
all you have to do is
on(press) {
TellTarget(/) {
gotoAndPlay("scene2") ;
}
}

get it ppl ....

its simple you have to target the main time line FIRST ... , since MC's have their own time lines remember ...

[Blutimus]

i misunderstood the original post! Since the button is inside your MC which is on the main timeline (_root.), you will need to target that timeline as libran has pointed out or the action will think you are referencing the MC's timeline
