OK. I basically went by what the tutorial said step by step, I just applied it to movie clip buttons, the thing is that, the movie clips are nested within movie clips, but that is not the issue. the Issue is that when I click on the button, it will load a totally different swf file than what I tell it to load. for instance:
If I make a photography button, if I click photography, it will load “identity”
even though the script written tells the button to go to photography
here is the script that I wrote:
// Photography Button
photography_btn_mc.onRollOver = function () {
photography_btn_mc.gotoAndPlay (“in”);
};
photography_btn_mc.onRollOut = function () {
photography_btn_mc.gotoAndPlay (“out”);
};
photography_btn_mc.onRelease = function () {
photography_btn_mc.gotoAndPlay (“click”);
_root.mainMovie_mc.gotoAndPlay(“portfolio”);
_root.mainMovie_mc.placeholder_mc.play();
}
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = “photography”;
_root.mainMovie_mc.placeholder_mc.loadMovie(“photography.swf”);
} else if (_root.currMovie != “photography”) {
if (_root.mainMovie_mc.placeholder_mc._currentframe >= _root.mainMovie_mc.placeholder_mc.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = “photography”;
}
}
So what I did was copy/paste the script and replaced the buttons with thier respective buttons and the “words in quotes” with the section it is suppose to jump to, but I am still new at this method so I am not sure what I should be looking for.
The Hierarchy of Nested Clips goes like this:
-
_root.
-
mainmovie_mc
-
placeholder_mc
- lineMenu_mc (<— holds the mc buttons within on same timeline)
help like always is greatly appreciated:book:
