View Full Version : Yet another moronically simple question.

So it should be easy.

I'm just trying to make a simple 2-frame flash movie.
I want it to just be 2 graphics. Clicking on the first replaces it with the second, and vice versa.

I just made both of the pictures one big button, and assigned the action goto and stop (to the other frame).

However, the movie is a headache-causing loop between the two frames. I don't understand...I tried adding "stop" to the frame, just in case. Then I discovered that doing that made the frame never move again.

Thanks a lot for your help...I really do intend to get this nailed down. I've definitely been trying! I spent almost all of the past three days reading the tutorials here.

so just to be sure you have :

1. the code stop(); on frame 1

2. one button on frame one and one button on frame 2

2. the code


// on button 1
on(release) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
// on button 2
on(release) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}


...? & when I say *on* button one I man click once on the button then press f9 to open the actions panel and type that in...file attached, hope it helps

Yeah...I did that. I don't know what went wrong, but yours is working perfectly. That's just what I needed. Thanks!
