How to implement actions PLAY in begining and STOP in ending of current scene

[Lavanya]

Hi all

I am implementing Navigation bar to browse Flash presentation. When i press the NEXT button in the PRESENT SCENE, it should START PLAYing at the FIRST FRAME in the NEXT SCENE and STOP PLAYing at the LAST FRAME in the same scene.HOw should i implement this logic?

At the time I write the NEXT BUTTON of PRESENT SCENE to file i don't know how many frames will be created in the NEXT SCENE.

any one can please help me
THANKS IN ADVANCE

You could simply use LoadMovie commands to load different SWFs, otherwise, use the GotoFrame actions (current_frame + distance...you don't need to know the # of frames in the next scene, only the current scene).

Say if the first scene has a grand total of 100 frames, and the second scene start at frame 101. Then for the button, you would have a "GotoFrame 101" ActionRecord.
