Flash MX Movie Clip Control

[Jnkyrd]

I have a button, it's a still graphic.

When I roll over the button I jump on the timeline to a movie clip with 33 frames. If I stay hovered over the clip the clip will continue looping.

I want to press, or mousedown on the Movie Clip and Jump to another frame down the timeline, a different button.

I've tryed several methods, I don't have movie clip control, all that seems to happen is that I can make the movie stop but not jump ahead, I label the frame, no good, I send it to the frame number, no good.

Can, anybody HELP ME??

so you tried

on (release){
gotoAndPlay (x);
}

x = the frame number you want the movie to play at.

Nope, actually I want to press the mousebutton down and advance to the frame, on the mouseup when I get there I wanna go somewhere else.

I'm looking to do the same thing...

I've got my main timeline broken up into 20 frame increments. Every 20 frames I've placed a frame label and a stop action. I then have an imbedded movie clip which has some navigation buttons. When my user clicks on one of these buttons, I want to be able to automatically jump them 20 frames ahead in my parent movie (child controling parent).

I don't want to specify the actual frame number or frame tag for the play head to stop on... I just want to automatically go to and stop every 20 frames.

How can I do this?

Just found something that works...

gotoAndStop(_currentframe+20);

On the button in my imbedded movie clip I used the follwing actionscript to control the play head in my parent movie:

on (release) {
    with (_level0) {
        gotoAndStop(_currentframe+20);
    }
}

You can backwards by using:

gotoAndStop(_currentframe - 20);


Thanks Flashkit!!!
