I am new to Flash and took this on as a work assignment… a little over my head. I got a template so I thought everything would be fine, but I can’t get a new movie clip to load when I hit next.
I got it to work once, but when I did it applied the same thing to the previous symbol… eventhough i had a different actionscript for it!! help!
this is what i have for it right now
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay(“s1”);
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay(_totalframes-_currentframe);
}
on (release) {
_parent.parent.icons.play(gal1.swf, gal1);
}
This does nothing as far as I can tell.
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#0000FF]on[/COLOR] COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000FF]_parent[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]parent[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]icons[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]play[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]gal1.[COLOR=#000080]swf[/COLOR], gal1[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[/LEFT]

First, the second parent needs an underscore, ie: _parent._parent. Or otherwise you telling a child movieclip called icons inside a movieClip called parent to play.
Or, you telling a movieClip called icons that is two levels up to play 2 things. One which it cant do. Play is used tell a timeline to play, not a swf. And gal1 is nothing. If your trying to tell it to goto and play a frame label, then gal1 needs to be in quotes “gal1” .
