Background images problems

[creativeflow]

Hey all,

I have what seems like a simle problem, but I have tried everything in my bag of tricks and have been left banging my head on my keyboard.

I am working on a few games and what I am triing to do is have the background image change with each level. I have created a mc with each image in a key frame with stop actions on each frame.

I have tried using tell target,
I have tried _root.bg._play();
I have tried _root.bg._currentframe + 1;

Any ideas?

Well different levels=different scenes each scene with diff. background.

or you can try :
on some event like score, or level ends, movie loops back:
gotoAndStop (frame);
frame could be frame+1; or random

Thanks for the help but I have tried that too, I have tried everything possible and can not figure out why it won't work, I've done the same thing before in a buttons on press event and it worked fine. This time I need to do it through actionscript.

Hi,

if (level == 2){
_root.bg.gotoAndStop(2)
}

something like that should always work...

I had brought the games into flash 5 and the publish settings were set to flash 5, when I reset the publish settings to flash 4 everything works fine.

Cheers and thanks all.

That probably means you don't have the flash 5 player installed...
