gotoandstop(3) with movieclips?

[whos_wee_dug]

Hi,

I've got a problem with my code which I can't explain. I have my flash stop at frame1 using stop(), I have a total of 3 frames in my Scene.

I have an movie clip that when you click it it should goto and stop at frame 3 but it doesnt work. here's the code for that movie clip:


on(press)
{
if (selected=="nothing")
{
}
else
{
gotoandplay(3);
}
}

Its not a problem with my IF statement, if I try:


on(press){
gotoandplay(3);
}


It still doesnt work. Please help!

Thanks,
whos_wee_dug.

on(press){
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}

Still doesn't work...

They are both keyframes, does this matter?

[Billy T]

are you using MX?

[whos_wee_dug]

yeh, I'm using Flash MX.

um.. is your clip a button, or an MC?

[Billy T]

and are you trying to send your button/mc to frame 3 or _root?

[webguy]

can you gotoAndStop() a button?

[Billy T]

no

unless its an mc ;)

[Billy T]

lol what's that line in your footer from?

[whos_wee_dug]

Its an MC and I'm putting this code into it:


on(press){
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}

But the frame doesnt move. It used to be a button but I changed it to a MC in the properties page. Iss it possible that its a bug in flash then? I'm gonna rewrite it as a MC from the start and c if it works then unless anyone can suggest wots wrong!

Cheers,
