Is it possible to change the frame inside a mc which is in another frame??
So like if you have an mc on frame 5… then can you change the frame inside the mc while you are on frame1… So you can click a button which would change the mc. and then if you go to frame 5… it the mc would have changed…
Have a look at the attached file if you didnt understand…
no you cant.
Its like trying to tell your unborn son to remember to brush his teeth tonight before going to bed. You know you’ll want to do that one day and you know he needs to hear and understand you tell that to him, but you can yell and scream as much as you want now and theres no way hes going to get that message. The only way you can is to wait until hes born and has lived long enough to be able to comprehend your speech.
The good news is, movieclips dont have to live very long before they know how to understand your code; that only takes a single frame - the frame it comes into existance. The bad new is, is if your movieclip doesnt yet exist and isnt present on the Flash timeline, then its as good as unborn and is not going to recieve anything you try to throw at it.
fear not though, with every no, theres someone in the background thinking “never say never”. Further in the background theres an evil genious already devising a workaround and figuring ways to bypass the complication. For this case it all matters on what exactly you are trying to accomplish - then a suitable solution can be derived.
Striaght off though, one (fairly common) method of tackling this issue, though in some situations a bit unorthodox and unconventional, is simply using a variable to contain and save whatever frame it is that you want your movieclip to goto when it comes on the screen and ‘loads’ itself into flash. Then, at that point where the clip does appear, then tell it to goto and stop at the frame indicated by that set variable. See the attachment ammending your example.
