Can anyone help me in this game file.

I need to create a scene or a frame with a button.  
When I click on the button the Game should start to play.

Since I am not able to upload the file please use this below link to access the FLA file

This is What I did:  
I tried 1 space on the 1st key frame It didn’t work.  
I also made a new scene created a button gave a action-script (go to) It didn’t work.

When I created the button (action-script go to next frame or next scene) and modifying the frame number in the action-script on the actual game key frames.

This is the Problem I am facing:  
It doesn’t go to the last frame of the game (Last Frame - Click to play again)

My level in action-Script (Beginner- intermediate)

Thanks for the great help

I need to create a scene or a frame with a button.

I’m not really sure what you want to do, but this is not possible :-  
Can you be more specific in what you want to do?

Hi blah-de-blah,

Thanks for the reply & thank you very much for helping me.

Step 1  
Basically I want to create a button. The Button should say Click to Play the GAME

So when Click on the Button — Step 2

Step 2  
The Game should start playing.

I did the step one  
But the game does not play good.  
That is if you miss the ball in the game it does not go the last frame (play again)

In the original game(before making the button):  
When you miss the ball it goes to last fame (play again).

I am sorry for some reason I am not able to the load the working file (FLA).

Can you Please download the file from the below site link.  
and test on the file.

So you jsut want a button to make the game go to the last scene?? I tried downloading your thing, but i can’t access the site :-\

Does this code work?

[AS]  
on (release) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay (123)  
}  
[/AS]

Doesn’t that work? where 123 is the frame number

Hi blah-de-blah,

Thanks for the reply & thank you very much for helping me. I am sorry for late response we lost the power supply I am sure you would have heard about Major Blackout.

please don’t KILL ME. I am sorry to mention I think my explanation was not correct. I really like to apologize.

What I really wanted to do is create a CLICK HERE START TO PLAY BUTTON before the game.

I know the there is "click here to play again” frame,

Can you please try again the link. I think now the link works.

Is the game supposed to continue after the score of 20 or to stop ?

Almost there … need to eliminate a bug. By the way … do you use Flash MX or Flash 5 ?

Mmm … this is interesting: I put this on the bottom part (which if it hits, it’s supposed to go to Frame 5 and stops):

[AS]  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (this.hitTest(\_root.bal)) {  
removeMovieClip(\_root.bal);  
\_parent.gotoAndStop(5);  
trace(“Hit bottom: \_parent(”+\_parent+").gotoAndStop(5) ||| removeMovieClip(\_root.bal)");  
}  
}  
[/AS]

and when I test the movie and let the ball hit the bottom, nothing is traced. Which means that it doesn’t gotoAndStop(5). Which is probably the bug. But why !?

I fixed it ! Finally I got that little bug to die. I’ll explain what the problem was later cuz I ain’t got much time now. I’m uploading the fla as we speak. I’ll edit this post as soon as it’s done.

\*Just popped into my mind: the original code isn’t perfect, causing the ball to fly through the walls sometimes. I got a fix for that too, I’ll attach the same Fla but with the walls fixed later.

Here it is: [FLA](http://voetsjoeba.asianillusion.com/brick.fla)
