Buttons in movie clip?!

1

SHOULD BE EASY! OR SO I THOUGHT?!!!?!

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I have been using this movie clip:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.asp

and have had a few problems but I have finally got the movie clip working, but I have just tried to apply actions to my buttons that make up my movie clip and the links don’t work?!

the different stages of the buttons show (up, over, down, hit) but when I click on the button it wont go to the next page? I’m not sure why?
I have applied the actions as I would to a normal button, just selecting it, but when I test the movie, it doesn’t transfer me to the next page when I click on the buttons?

The actions I am using are:

on (release) {
gotoandstop (foundation scroll 2 drawing, 1);
}

Any ideas? Help

what exactly is “foundation scroll 2 drawing”? A frame label?

It looks like you’re trying to have it go to another scene, if that’s the case then you should have your actions target a frame label located on that scene instead. So if you have a frame label named “blah”, your action would look like this:

on (release) {
       _root.gotoAndStop ("blah");
}

whats a frame label? how do i make one? i amnew to flash?! chucked myself in at the deep end!?

Flash allows you to give a frame a name. Just go to the scene that you want your button to target, click on the frame you want to name and open your properties panel and you’ll see a input field marked “frame label”. Type in a name like “blah”, close the panel and you’ll see that “blah” appeared on your timeline. So the action that I gave you above will tell flash to go to this frame named “blah” and stop there. I hope that was a bit more clearer. =)
