Thread: simple GotoAndPlay question

  1. #1

    simple GotoAndPlay question

    I figure this might be a simple question, but I can't seem to find anything online about it.

    I built a button ("resume_btn") within a movie clip, and that movie clip ("resume_mvc") is being embeded in another movie clip ("main_mvc").

    With actionscripting's onrelease, I am trying to jump to a marker named "Resume" inside the movie clip "resume_mvc," what is the proper way to refer to that marker?

    On the button:

    on(release){
    _root.main_mvc.resume_mvc.gotoAndPlay("Resume");
    }

    Or in a frame:

    _root.main_mvc.resume_mvc.resume_btn.onRelease = function(){
    _root.main_mvc.resume_mvc.gotoAndPlay("Resume");
    }

    Or in a frame:

    _root.main_mvc.resume_mvc.resume_btn.onRelease = function(){
    _root.main_mvc.resume_mvc.gotoAndPlay("Resume");
    }


    ...Assuming the button is present on the frame where the button's handler was defined!

    On or before. I use to like the function calls, cause they were sexy and made me feel like I knew a lot. But using code on the buttons is really the easiest, safest way.

    On only! Otherwise the handler can't be assigned to something that doesn't exist!

    On or before. If the button appears on or before the code, it will work.
