Where are your buttons? In a movie clip, or on the main timeline?

[vongasbuzteng]

my buttons are in the timeline...but i put movie clip in the button when it is rolled over......

hello........

Ummmmmmmmh! Post an exact example of the code you put on one of your buttons, and indicate what you're targeting.

this is the action for the buttonon (release) { gotoAndPlay ( "scene8", 1) ;must i put an action for the frame1 at scene 8? im using apple i dunnoe if the enter button done its job....

[oldnewbie]

Targeting scene names only works if everything is on the main timeline...
So better allways use a labeled frame as a target...

Label frame 1 of your Scene 8, with an unique label such as my_scene8 (no number only labels, or at least not starting off with a number, and no special character other than the underscore "_"), add _root to your path, and target that labeled frame on your button's script...

code:

---

on(release){

_root.gotoAndPlay("my_scene8");

}

---

Don't forget the double quotes around your frame label in the button's script only.

its greAT!!!!!! it went to the scene 8.... but why does it stop at scene 4 for awhile? a put an action stop in the frame on the timeline .. does it effect anything...???thank u.....!!!

Well if you have a stop action, and the movie is playing, sure it will stop on that stop action.

so i dont have 2 put stop actions on every scene is it? i just deleted all then stop actions on every scene and played.... an it didnt stop till the end of the scene.. it went passed scene 3-19..... hrm.... wat happen?
