Flash MX 2004 Problem

Post by glenn »

Hi guys,

Iam not sure if i can post my problem here but here gos anyway. I am now running Flash MX 2004 and having some problems.

1. This is a side issue for me but it dosen't seem to want me to use more an one Scene at a time, I just can not get it to make a new one, is this me or I didn't install the software right?

2. I have a moive clip witch runs for XX frames and at the end of the clip I have a button, this is the action script Iam using on the button :

on (release) { gotoAndStop("Work"); }

now I know this works if the button gos on the main stage but I need it place at the end of my clip for timing. The Work is a frame label it is trying to get to. Now I have trying use '_root' and this and that back I can not seem to get it to work, anyone have any ideas?


Thanks


Glenn.

1. A scene is merely a portion of the root timeline, so you can no more play two scenes simultaneously than you can play two scenes of a single DVD movie simultaneously. What are you trying to accomplish?

2. I could barely understand the one about the button. That is, I could barely understand any of it; I did not in fact understand your problem. What are you trying to accomplish and what seems to be the problem?

1. to make a new scene go to Insert > Scene. Now you can flick between scenes using the button near the magnification drop down at the bottom right of the timeline.

2. Your code should be something like this ( ihaven't done any projects in flash for about a year, so may not be 100% correct0

Code: Select all

on (release) {
    with (_root) {
        gotoAndStop("Work");
    }
}
