navigating between scenes

[jlknauff]

For some reason I can't get the buttons to navigat between scenes...I keep getting errors. Perhaps someone can take a look & see what the problem is?

You can see the .fla here: www.wildfiremarketinggroup.com/dev/db/index.fla

I looked at your file and there is no script that I could find anywhere to go to a different scene.
Each of your buttons has:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	// if the mouse IS over the clip ...
	if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
		// if the last frame of the tween hasn't been reached...
		if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
			// keep playing the next frame to the last and stop...
			this.nextFrame();
		}
		// if the mouse is NOT over the clip
	} else {
		// if we're past the first frame of the tween...
		if (this._currentframe>1) {
			// play the previous frame until it reaches frame 1 and stop...
			this.prevFrame();
		}
	}
}

Somewhere in there you need to have an:
_root.gotoAndPlay("SceneName", 1);
or
_root.gotoAndStop("SceneName", 1);

Somewhere in there you need to have an:
_root.gotoAndPlay("SceneName", 1);
or
_root.gotoAndStop("SceneName", 1);

Yeah, it was there before but the syntax was messed up...I think the quotes should fix it. I'm going to try that now.

[jlknauff]

Hmmm...still no dice

[jasonsplace]

if you have the quotes it should work. Did you put the _root on there? It is required to access the main timeline.

[jlknauff]

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("this.about us", 1);}

[jasonsplace]

Use:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("About", 1);
}
You are targeting the main timeline so you don't need this and the scenes name is "About" not "about us"

[jlknauff]

For some reason it still does not work

[jasonsplace]

Does it give you an error or does it just not appear to work because both scenes are identical. Can you post a new FLA?

[jlknauff]

No error...it just doesn't go anywhere. I dropped a big box into the "About" scene so they are different. The newest .fla is on the server.

[jasonsplace]

I looked at your file and I can't find any button objects or any _root.gotoAndPlay
Where is it at?

[jlknauff]

The actual button is burried a bit...it is inside tween 3

[jasonsplace]

Well, i'm at a loss. I can't seem to figure out the problem but I think it may have something to do with the hitTest interfrerring with the button

[jasonsplace]

If I were you I would get rid of scenes all together as they are buggy pieces of crap and just do movieClips.

Got the problem solved...someone from Ozzu told me what was wrong. It works now. Thanks for your help though.
