[MX] actionscript prob

[Nutbolt]

Hi,

I've got a labelled frame [escape] within a movieclip [mc_salons] on my root timeline but i can't get to it when i click on the relevant button which is in another movie clip [scroller_mc] which is also in my root timeline.

So I kinda come out of one movieclip onto the root and go straight into another movie clip. I think I need to be mentioning scroll_mc somwhere in my script but I don't know where or how.

Here's the script I'm using on the button:

on (release) {
	_root.mc_salons.gotoAndStop("escape");
}

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

you wouldn't need to mention scroller_mc in this situation. From what you're describing, I don't see anything wrong, so you may want to go & make sure that you labeled everything correctly - it's a common pitfall.
Speaking of this, you should also try & be a bit more consistent with your naming:
you have "mc_salons", & "scroller_mc" - because of "code hinting", I would vote that "scroller_mc" is the correct labeling format.

instead of putting your code in button directly , better put it on frame :

_root.scroller_mc.onPress = function(){
	_root.mc_salons.gotoAndStop("escape");
}

or , if u want to put the code in Button :

on (release) {
	_root.mc_salons.gotoAndStop("escape");
}

If it wont work again , just check the names , maybe you have writen the name Wrong somewhere ...

Good luck .

Taking that into account as well as the fact that referred to the scroll as both "scroller_mc" & "scroll_mc" in your post, makes me believe it may just be a naming issue. Granted you're just asking a question, but believe me, it helps to make sure & describe everything precisely & accurately.

pumi,
Quick Edit - he said his button was inside the scroller, so the code would be:

_root.scroller_mc.YourButton_btn.onPress = function(){

...or something.

[Nutbolt]

omg That was so quick.

Thanks I'll have a look at this and let ou know how I get on. I'll keep an eye on accuracy in future too.

Thanks

Damn...I did what you guys suggested but its still not working.

I basically put this script on the actions frame in scroller_mc:

_root.scroller_mc._escape.onRelease = function(){
	_root.salons_mc.gotoAndStop("escape");
}

I triple cheked all the instance names (after correcting the labeling format) But it still doesn't work!

Any ideas?

[pumi]

Plz , can u post the file ??

[gotoAndCrash]

yeah, pumi, I agree...
Though I am a bit concerned about the "_escape."

[Nutbolt]

I'm afraid it's a 10mb file and it's too big for the site. can you give me an email I could send it to, plz or a place to upload it??

[pumi]

Nutbolt , first , i liked this web page ...

This , wont work because mc_salons is not in the same frame , where is scrollerClip .... I hope you understand me. the button elmina on scrollerClip is working because its not making an MC to go to any frame , but its going to frame salons in Root timeline .

If u cant do it , tell me i will do it for you ...

[gotoAndCrash]

nice werk, pumi
movie clip not present in frame, eh?
see? it's the simple things that can really be frustrating, which is why my signature has that great "simple mistake" quote from Office Space...

[pumi]

Yea , it was very simple ... I hope Nutbolt has understood , what was the problem .
