Restart Actionscript movie?

[may_hem1]

How can I get an Actionscript-only animation to restart itself without refreshing the whole Web page?

I have an Actionscript-only animation which randomly chooses one of three different slideshows. I want to put a button on the animation which restarts the whole animation so that it randomly picks another slideshow. How can I do this?

Thanks,
May

Kind of hard to tell you without seeing the existing actionscript you have that runs the slide show.

Hi jbum, I guess I'm interested in how to restart any Actionscript-only animation, so the specifics of my slideshow code would be irrelevant.

Is there an Actionscript command which just restarts the whole animation?

Thanks,
May

P.S. I love your asteroids game!

Try putting this code wherever the slide show ends:

_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
