HELP with buttons!

programming flash
1

Ack! I have a problem where I have a 2 movie clips in scene 1, and theres a lot of action in both of these movie clips. but in the end of one movie clip i have a button that I want to act as a jumper. to go from the first movie clip to the 2nd one, but it never works. The first movie clip is at frame 32, and i use the ‘stop’ actionscript to pause the scene and see the clip. The 2nd clip is at frame 62, again is also 'stop’ped to view the clip. The button in the first movie clip keeps going back to the beginning of the first movie clip, I don’t want that. i want it to get out of the movie clip scene and go into scene 1 and then goto frame 62.

the actions for that fugged up button are as follows:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(“Scene 1”, 62);
}

is that right? :q: someone help me quick! thanks :love:

give your 2nd mc an instance name and then try this:

on (release) {
	_root.instance.gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 62);
}

change “instance” to whatever you named it. =)

hmmmmmmm
sorry unflux that doesn’t work either.

but at least now it doesn’t play from the mc frame 62. it just does nothing, (the button). you can click it and everything, but there is no action.

do you have another idea? heck, i can send the .fla by email. if u really want to help me

ok, i have your fla now.

can you tell me which buttons and mc’s you are trying to work with?

ok
if u open the library there is this MC called MP3 Player, open that MC and near the end you’ll see words move across called “flashtrak”. Thats actually the button, that keeps fugging me over. Now i want it so that when that button is clicked, the play head will skip out of the MP3 PLayer MC and go back to scene 1 and then go to frame 62. Frame 62 has Another MC called Flashtrakplayer. yeah…

ok

on your button put this instead:

on (release) {
    _root.gotoAndPlay("62");
}

I tested it and it works now. =)
