Hi ! I have a small movie with two layers Action and Button. The first 10 frames show a welcome messgae. The 11th frame has actionscript code and loads a few php variables. Once those are successfully loaded, I have a stop(); command which stops program execution on frame 11. I have a button on the 11th frame and i want to resume the program execution on frame 11 using this button. So i have a simple play() command on the on(release) function of this button. I want that when i press the button the balance code on the 11 frame be executed and the program move on. So 11th frame : I have code like this code lines 1 2 3 … stop(); // stops the movie some more code // when i press the button the balance code should be // executed & the movie should move on 4 5 6… Please can someone suggest if this is ok and if so why is the button not working? I have checked that the program indeed comes to a stop where intended by the stop() command. However the button fails to get it to resume & continue from there on. I have also tried \_root.play() in on(release) & that did not work either. Thanks loads. Ajoo.
