play btn works in edit, but not when exported

[frank_zhao]

i am horriblely newb at this, but with out your help

i have the movie stopped after it finished loading, then it should display a button that says play, and when clicked, it should go to a frame with a picture.

the button works when i enable simple frame actions and simple buttons, but when i export the movie, the movie will load up, but show me a button that has nothing writen on it, and clicking it would not work.

i have consulted a friend who taught me this, but i let him see it, he said that i did everything right (sure, whatever) but he could not figure out what was wrong.

i hope somebody here can help me troubleshoot the problem, i learn best by examples

oh, and if you notice something totally wrong, please tell me what code i should use instead of the one i have now.

the frame the button is in has this code in it


stop();


the button in that frame is indeed set to be a button symbol (not movie clip, my first mistake never to be repeated) and its code is


on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}


start is the name of the frame i want it to jump to

if anyone must know, i use mx 6.0, and dont feel like ever updating.
my fla file is 1.4mb so i cant attach it.

thanks in advance for the time taken to read this

Your code is fine. What are your publish settings when you exported to swf? If your is nested inside another symbol you may want to try _root.gotoAndPlay("start"); and make sure your code is on the button and not the timeline.

You really need to post the .FLA file for a fix.

here it is

you had your button component inside a button.
take a look at fla and see the difference.
