I have a navigation menu that is a movieclip (menu_mc). In the movieclip are 5 buttons. Each of the 5 buttons has 4 keyframes within the movieclip, (they’re all set at different alpha levels for a rollover effect). On each of the keyframes I’ve named each instance. For example: on the “Illustration” button, I’d have illustration_btn labeled on all 4 keyframes.
i need the buttons, when clicked, to play a different area of the timeline, dependent on where the user is in the main timeline.
I’ve tried writing this actionscript on the main timeline in the 2nd keyframe (i have a preloader in the first) but nothing is happening.
(the movie clip instance is named menu_mc)
this.menu_mc.illustration_btn.onRelease = function() {
if(root_currentFrame == 80) {
gotoAndPlay(“print”);
} else if (root_currentFrame == 138) {
gotoAndPlay(“illustration”);
}
}
???
if anyone can direct me toward a good tutorial on navigation through a maintimeline with actionscript or any idea of what the heck i’m trying to do, please let me know!
thanks–:ponder:
