I searched the forums but didn’t find a match… What I want to do is make my intro mc (which is on frame 1 of scene 1) automatically goto frame 2 of scene 1 once the intro ends. The simple goto statement won’t work because my intro is in it’s own mc. I have attached a simple version of what i’m takling about. If someone could “solve” this and re-upload it, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks! ---

Because when the intro ends…I want the rest of the site to automatically come on. No need to make an extra click for the user. ---

ummm…the only way I can think of at the moment (im pretty tired) is if you use a variable or something that says something like if movieplayed = true gotoandplay 2 something like that, like I said, im tired ---

all u gotta do is put a frame action on the last frame of you intro MC says to go and play the second frame of scene 2. That should work. ---

Claudio! I love you! Thanks sooo much 🙂 I also must thank gheckman too 🙂 One question…is this technique standard practice? What’s the “normal” technique for putting an intro on frame 1? I’m trying to learn the in’s and out’s of actionscripting slowly as I go…it’s a long road ahead! Thanks again to all who helped! This place is top 5 sites on the net!!! ---

Welcome dude. There are many ways to do intros. You can have entire scenes devoted to intros that then move onto other scenes, or a quick intro can be done the way you did it. or just a bunch of keyframed animations on one timeline. It’s really up to you and what you feel comfortable with. ---

Here is my way of solving your original problem. In my mind it’s a whole hell of a lot easier than the one the other dude did. You have to look in the timeline of the intro\_mc to see what i did. Peace. ---

\*\*\*\* gheckman…I actually had very very similar code but it wasn’t working for me!!! Perhaps I had a small misspelling or variable error. Hmmm… I had a feeling it had to do with the \_root, but for some odd reason it wasn’t working for me. Anyways, thanks to you both! Each solution was a lesson learned… Claudio’s was more in depth, and I learned a few extra tips there, but for what I was looking for, gheckman’s worked just fine as well. Perhaps you two should have an actionscript battle??? Lol, j/k…thanks to you both!!! ---
