poiting to a frame(/label) on Director's stage

[tariel]

Hello !

Is it possible from Flash to point to some certain frame/label on Director's stage?

For example, i have some small flash movie clip with few buttons. I import it into Director and place it on a stage.
Then when play the scene, i can click on one button and the playhead will jump to some certain label on Director's stage.

I believe you could only control the root timeline of whatever SWF your actionscript buttons are in, and not the score in Director. However, you can simply just make a cast member of your button, make it a sprite on stage and add a simple script to the cast member...

something like...

on mouseUp
go to frame/label
end

is the same as

myButton.onRelease = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay(whatever);
};

edit:

whoops... or you could use getURL in actionscript...

getURL("lingo: go to frame \"whatever\"");

Alright, thank you for your reply. Perhaps, i'll stick to flash cast members.

getURL("lingo: go to frame \"whatever\"");
- this is an interesting way.
