Okay, try to stop it! now w/ the fla file

Hi All,

same problem…when hitting the back button, I want the darn thing to stop at frame 16 or label “top”…
peep out the code, maybe you some ideas…

thx,

m.

If I test that movie, there seem to be two menus over eachother. Is that supposed to be like that ? And where do you press the back button ?

yes…thats correct…so far only the sound (1st) one works (as test measures) …
click on sound and you’ll see a second menu comingdown , the back button on top! click top to go back…(that’s how it should work)

Ah, I see the problem. Just a sec …

add this to frame 16 of menu

_root.direction=“forward”;

Done. I rewrote your script and turned it into a handy, better to use prototype, for playing the timeline in a certain direction. I’ve included the usage, but here’s how to use it anyway:

movieclip.playAndStop(direction,stopAt), where direction is 0 or 1, 0 being backward, and 1 forward.

Here’s a link to the working file, oh, and if you’re wondering why Tracks - mixes - … still shows when you press back, that’s because they are still on stage at the frame labeled “top” :wink:

*Sorry for taking so long, I’ve been trying to post for 10 minutes but IE felt like being stupid again.

WOWWWW…
thanks so much dude, it stops where it should…and I guess I can figure it out from there…
thanks again,

m.

You’re welcome :slight_smile:
