    really bizarre button behavior...

    ...there refusing to work!

    Its been quite some time since I last used flash so I think Im going to need some help...

    I have a movie on level 1 (Loaded above the main navigation of the page and audio on Level 0) thats got some item details and a scroll bar on which Ive placed a series of buttons scriped to take the viewer to a different frame in the movieclip. The trouble is that the buttons are just completely unresponsive... Ive tried using gotoAndStop("Scene1", 2); Ive tried reloading the movieclip each time.

    I vaguley remember being taught something along the lines of buttons within movies cant control the main scene timeline but to be honest I no longer have any idea!

    The Files are located here... SF/CS/Huntingwear

    The movieclip Im referring to is located in the "Countrysport" section under "Hunting". I havn't had time to reduce the file size so its taking a while to load.

    EDIT: This is the .swf file with the scroller and buttons that dont work! http://www.sherwoodforest-uk.com/TESTING/Flash_Test.swf

    Thanks in advance guys!

    Hi
    Have you tried..
    code:
    _parent.gotoAndStop("Scene1", 2);


    or..
    code:
     _root.gotoAndStop("Scene1", 2); 


    If no joy....post or email your FLA and i will take a look for you.....
    Save as MX2004 format

    gotoAndStop("scene",frame) only works in root timeline,
    if you need it elsewhere, just label the first frame in second scene,
    and use _root.gotoAndStop("labeledFrameinScene2")
    My letters on the F1 key have faded, how are yours today?

    Hi
    Works ok this end....i added an example scene 2......and labelled the first frame.....Scene2,
    then put this on your first top left image button...
    code:
    on (release) {
    _root.gotoAndStop("Scene2", 1);
    }

    Wow, excellent. Thank you so much dudes.

    Just one more quick question... would doing it this way now mean that I would need to have one scene per garment? Is there a limit on the number of scenes I could use? (One of the areas has upwards of 150 items you see...).

    Thanks again. Stu
