[F8] When you click a button

[Matthew0088]

Im making a button and I want to know when you click the button it takes you to a Movie clip in the Library and plays it.

How do you go about doing this?


Thanks

I need more information, BUT, I think I know about what you want. First, put the movieclip you'll want to play in the stage, and as big as you want it to. Then, copy and paste this code inside it:
onClipEvent (load) {
this._visible = false
}
then make your button, and give it the instance name "play_btn" (Name the movieclip instance name "my_mc" or something). Paste these actions into your frame:
playMC = function () {
_root.my_mc._visible = true
_root.my.mc.play()
}
play_btn.onRelease = playMC
(Make sure that the first frame in the mc that you want to play has the action "stop();" in it.)
That's hopefully what you want.

first on the mc in the library - right click on it then nav to "linkage" - put a check mark by "Export for ActionScript".

Then use EmptyMC.attachMovie("yourMC").


Hope this helps

That is really cool! Did you try what I did? I'll attach a doc to help you...and...can you help me with internet connnections and stuff? I've been wanting to make online multiplayer games for a long time. Can you just teach me how to make a chatroom atleast? Anyways...here's the file...actually, I'll just send you my chatsystem(it doesn't work for actually chatting with other people), but login, all it does is do nextFrame(), cause I'm trying to solve the register problem, but click on register, then I think you'll see what you want.

[Matthew0088]

yes that is what I want... I think I enterd all the action scripts like you have them , but I still cant get it working
