[F8] Jump

[Mr.FlashKit]

Hi All,

Buttons on Stage are setting a variable to their names like (aboutus, products, portfolio, etc.). But Actionscript on frame isn't make a jump to related location.

Actionscript on one of the buttons:

on(release){
	jtl = "portfolio";
	trace (jtl);
	_root.play();
}

Actionscript on frame:

onEnterFrame = function () {
	if (jtl="aboutus") {
		gotoAndPlay("Abt");
	} else if (jtl="products") {
		gotoAndPlay("Pdc");
	} else if (jtl="portfolio") {
		gotoAndPlay("Pfo");
	} else if (jtl="clients") {
		gotoAndPlay("Clt");
	} else if (jtl="contactus") {
		gotoAndPlay("Cnt");
	}
};

Please have a look at the attachment and suggest.

hi, make your buttons movie clips and your script will work. hth

[Mr.FlashKit]

Thanks a lot gparis and namedflea ...
I've implemented both of your suggestions but unfortunately it's still not Jumping ...

Is the code on the Frame OK ... Should it supposed to work ... ?

Please suggest ...

Thanks

It's not one but two things that are throwing you off.

First is a simple one in your if/else if statements. You're using a single equals (=) which sets a variable when you should be using double equals (==) to compare values.

onEnterFrame = function () {
    if (_root.jtl == "aboutus") {
        gotoAndPlay("Abt");
    } else if (_root.jtl == "products") {
        gotoAndPlay("Pdc");
    } else if (_root.jtl == "portfolio") {
        gotoAndPlay("Pfo");
    } else if (_root.jtl == "clients") {
        gotoAndPlay("Clt");
    } else if (_root.jtl == "contactus") {
        gotoAndPlay("Cnt");
    }
}; 

Secondly your variable of jtl is being stored in multiple locations. Each button object was setting it's own value of jtl in it's own properties instead of everyone looking at a common variable. For simplicity I just set it to _root.jtl but you can change that to wherever you may want. Below is the code for each of the buttons.

on (rollOver){
    gotoAndPlay("+ve");
}
on(rollOut){
    gotoAndPlay("-ve");
}
on(release){
    _root.jtl = "contactus";
    trace (_root.jtl);
    _root.play();
}

here is the code for the frame...
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
if (jtl=="aboutus") {
gotoAndPlay("Abt");
} else if (jtl=="products") {
//trace(jtl);
gotoAndPlay("Pdc");
} else if (jtl=="portfolio") {
gotoAndPlay("Pfo");
} else if (jtl="clients") {
gotoAndPlay("Clt");
} else if (jtl=="contactus") {
gotoAndPlay("Cnt");
}
};


here's the code for one of the mc's

on(release){
_parent.jtl = "products";
}

make your "buttons" movie clips for this to work. hth

[Mr.FlashKit]

GrimStrike and namedflea ...
Thank you so much guys ... it worked ...

Thank U

[Mr.FlashKit]

Jumping is OK but when it reaches its destination the Timeline stops itself even thought I've put the code gotoAndPlay() in the jumping frame and there is not stop() in the destination frame.

Please guys I need your help once again ... (FLA) is attached in this post ...

Many Thanks

[namedflea]

looks fine to me, you need to have navigation in all the destination frames. otherwise you'll just be stuck like you are now. you do have stops in your destination frames (17, 23,29,36 and 41) you need to... otherwise your movie would loop right through them. hth

[Mr.FlashKit]

You're right but even if you remove stop() from all the destinations the timeline will still stuck itself ...

Try it ... and then please suggust

Thanks for your reply namedflea
