gotoandplay not working?

tronicsmasta · 11-04-2009, 05:54 AM

Hey guys!!!
I can't seem to get this to work...

my button name is left_btn... its in ContainerMid which is on the 1st frame of the main time line.... I put this on frame 1 of the main timeline and it doesn't work...

Code:

_root.ContainerMid.left_btn.onRelease = function () {
	gotoAndPlay("Scene3");
}

any ideas?

Thanks as always!

What's Scene3 ? A frame label? On which timeline?

Or in fact targeting a Scene 3?

Maybe better to attach your .fla.

oh sorry i forgot to mention that Scene3 is a frame label i put on frame 3 because for whatever reason, gotoAndPlay(3) wasn't working...

I cannot attach my FLA due to NDA

Thank You!!!

Frame 3 of the main timeline?

tronicsmasta · 11-07-2009, 08:51 PM

yes... Frame 3 of the main timeline is labled "Scene3"

Here is where my button is...
_root > ContainerLeft (mc) > left_btn

my code on frame 1 of my main time line is :

Code:

_root.ContainerLeft.left_btn.onRelease = function () {
	gotoAndStop("Scene3"); 
       //frame 3 on main timeline labeled "Scene3"
}

ActionScript Code:

_root.ContainerLeft.left_btn.onRelease = function () {
    this._parent._parent.gotoAndStop("Scene3"); 
    //frame 3 on main timeline labeled "Scene3"
}

thank you but it didn't work

the button just doesn't respond...

this code works when placed on the button but i noticed that when it moves to "Scene3" (frame 3) the button stays on top even though there aren't any graphics on that frame....

Code:

on (release) {
	_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene3");
}

any more ideas??

It worked fine in my mockup .fla trying to replicate your's.

Might be better to attach your own .fla, to see what you are missing or haven't said.
