[FONT=Tahoma]Hi guys, One small quetion, how can i make something like a transition (intro/outro) in the same .swf. For exemple i have 3 buton, and when i press btn1 the first animation plays, but at frame 10 it’s stoping. And if i press btn3 i want to play first animation (from frame 11 to frame 20) and then to jump to frame 40 and play until frame 50 where i have the stop. | \>-----1[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]_-----\> / | \>[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]-----2[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]_-----\> / | \>[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]-----3[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]\*-----\> / \> = keyframe 1\*,2\*,3\* = stop(); | = starts the animation; / = ends the animation; 🙂 I hope you understang what i wanted to do 🙂 P.S. I’m on a notebook and flash+photoshop runs very slow, sorry for the draq! [/FONT] ---

ok i hope this is what you want…i used frame labels, then set a targetframe variable, so that when the “out” of any animation was done i could just put gotoAndPlay(targetframe); and it would go and play the relevant “in” animation. ---

I tried to put the buttons in another mc but it doesnt work. I wrote : on (release) { \_root.trans.targetframe = “threeIn”; play(); } I don’t want to have the buttons in the same mc. What should i do ? ---

no matter what mc your button is in if you use ```auto on (release) { _root.targetframe = "oneIn"; _root.play(); } ``` it will work. also note that in between transitions the buttons are exchanged for graphics (so you cant click during a transition). ---
