[MX04] going to menu

[askentoyou]

i made it so when you hit a fan you goto and stop and in the frames i made his head falling of then at the end i put goto and stop(1) (witch was the menu) but it just turns him alive so i need help please...

[tidenburg]

_root.gotoAndStop(1);

At the moment I'm going to assume the code is in the movieclip. This means you're not refering to the main timeline. Adding _root points the swf in the right direction.

So far your posts are very unspecific. Try adding more detail about where the code is perhaps? Also "Can someone help me?" is much politer than "I need help please", which isn't just assuming, it makes us seem like some kind of service

Hope that works

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) and !Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) and onfloor) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.fan)) {
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
}
}

now look at the fan hitest it goes to frame three which i edited in the

charecter then i made a frame put the code stop(); and converted it in to a

symbol that i called die then when the movie got to the end. i placed a code

gotoAndStop(1); wich didnt realy work.and _root.GotoAndStop(1);and

_root.man.GotoAndStop(1); man is the charecters instance name

so i need some help by the experts please.

[askentoyou]

it would mean alot if someone would help
thank you alot.

GotoAndStop should be gotoAndStop.
when writing it in the actions panel it should turn into blue text if its right.

eg:
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.man.gotoAndStop(1);
gotoAndStop(1);
(Notice how the goto is not Goto).

also if your trying to make the man movieclip goto frame 1, the second option will work (asuming you made his instance name man), and the 3rd will work if its placed within the man movieclips actions.

EDIT: Im not quite following what bits of code are which, but if you have 2 onClipEvent(enterFrame)'s within the man on the same frame, the last one will overwrite the first im assuming.

So, all the code is on the man movie clip and the frame 3 is on the main timeline? Or is that frame inside "man" movie clip?
