Once my movieclip has reached a point/finished, I would like return to the main timeline.
Anyideas??:q:

what? what are you talking about! All objects are displayed no matter what timeline they are on!
Ok, This is my setup.
On 1st frame of main timeline, I go into a movieclip (1). Then into a another movieclip (2), which is inside mc1. Now, I have a movieclip (3) on the MAIN TIMELINE… How do I target that?
I’ve tried _root.movieclip3.gotoAndPlay, but because Im already in a movielcip, is that wahy its not working?
I want to get to the ABOSLUTE root/timeline of my movie…
_root.movieclip3.gotoAndPlay(frame no.) Should work, unless u had mistaken with the instance names.
Try instead of _root.movieclip3.gotoAndPlay
_root.movieclip3.play();
Tried that as well Sorcerer:*(
Thats wot I thut - ITS NOT WRKING!!!
Heres my flash so far:
Hierarchy
MAIN TIMELINE
| |
| |
MC 1 MC3
|
|
MC2 HERE is where I need the code to target MC3
Try:
_parent._parent.MC3.gotoAndPlay(10);
although it’s exactly the same as _root.MC3.gotoAndPlay(10);, but try it anyways.
_root.mc3.play(); HAS TO WORK!
check the instance names and stuff just to make sure!
Both should work syko. :o Try attaching the Fla File.
this is strange!:crazy:
CRACKED IT!!!
I THINK…
_parent._parent.interrfaceIn.gotoAndPlay(2);
That wrked - thanks every1, esp h88 SUPER MODERATOR!
Cld hav possibly been bcoz the mc I was trying to target was previously a graphic symbol, which I then changed… sumtimes u hav to delte the symbol and make it agian for it to register, rite???
You can’t target a graphic symbol :q:
Yes I know u can only target MCs (whice are symbols neway!!)
Wot I meant was - I had originally created a graphic symbol, which I then wanted to target, so changed its behaviour to a Moveiclip.
And I dn think Flash recognizes wen u do this… maybe a bug, as Ive kum across it in the past. I fI want to change one symbol to anutha IE graphic-movieclip, it only works if I delete the symobl and use a new one - just changing the behaviour duznt seem to wrk!!!:q:
Hmm, I’ll test that later.
