hello out there.

i have an btn integreated in a flash movie. the action of the btn shoud be to go to another frame outside of this button. but it doesn’t work out.

i tried it with gotoframe, goto framelable … nothing.

it seems that it is trying to do this action inside of this movie clip :confused:

Welcome to the forums!!

You have to set the path to the timeline of the frame in question. If the frame is on the main timeline then use _root (i.e. _root.gotoAndPlay(framenumber). If the frame in question is located inside a movie clip that sits on the main timeline then set the path to that movie clip (i.e. _root.movieclipname.gotoAndPlay(framenumber). If the frame in question is located inside a movie clip that is inside a move clip that sits on the main timeline then set the path to that movie clip (i.e. _root.movieclip1name.movieclip2name.gotoAndPlay(framenumber).

etc. etc.

Make sense? :hr:

p.s. framenumber can be replace with framelabel
