M:I:Coding!?!

[tongxn]

I can't possibly describe this but I can't seem to get :

on (release) {
	gotoAndStop("mainXrave", 1);
}

This to WORK! its set on a button in a scene but it isn't working!

-In the scene-
A customised cursor, controlled by this._x = _xmouse, and etc
A weird aurora thing as a Movieclip I got using tutorials, 3 frames and just duplicates itself for the efect.
And the not-so-working-well BUTTON.

So what could possibly stop such a easy code not work?

Thanks

Hi
Have you checked that you labelled the frame ?
i.e. . . . mainXrave

Post a basic of your Fla and i'll take a look if you like.

[tongxn]

nah you know what Im talking about - just a pitiful button in the middle of a second scene which tells the timeline to go to the first frame in the scene called *mainXrave*.

Which in that case makes it alll bloody harder to understand!

Put a frame label on the frame of the scene you want to goto and then use,

_root.gotoAndStop("your-frame-label-here");

then make a note not to use scenes in your next project

Thanks - but
yep I tried that as well...
Didnt work...
...
*Annoyed @ flash*
... :s

Hi
Post a basic of your Fla......

[tongxn]

thx but I'm not bothering much - 1.3mb and the problem works only on that one.

Any other ideas than posting my fla?

[catbert303]

Does the button do anything when clicked? What happens if you add a trace statement to it,

on (release) {
    trace("The button was pressed");
    gotoAndStop("mainXrave", 1);
}

if you test the movie and click the button does the message appear?

[tongxn]

Yep I checked it - result: THis Button WAS pressed and it is fully functioning, except for the fact that the gotoAndStop did not work.

[tongxn]

oh wait I tried gotoAndPlay on another movie, seemingly it didn't GOTO and then PLAY

It PLAYs the movie...?

[catbert303]

Could you come up with a simplified fla file that shows this problem?

[tongxn]

Yep OK,
this is a movie I been making for sometime.. (2 days)

check the Play button:

Sorry, could you save it in MX2004 format
