Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Actionscript / September 2005Having some trouble targeting my movie clips
I have a movie clip called R&D Buttons on the main timeline. Within this movie clip I have 10 additional movie clips, which are basically animated buttons. You can only see 5 of these buttons at a time so I have a button to toggle which buttons are viewable. This button is placed in one of the 10 movie clips inside the R&D Buttons movie clip. I need to get this button to make the R&D Buttons movie clip play from a frame name called 'Swap 1'. After checking some tutorials I figured the script would be: on (release) { gotoAndPlay("_level0.R&D Buttons", "swap 1") } but this just makes the main timeline jump back to the beginning. Any ideas? This is driving me nuts! Thanks Charles Maybe the 'space' character and the '&' characters in the instance name are the problem. Nope, still does it. You click on it and it just jumps back to the first frame of the main timeline. I've made the .fla available for download as it might make it a bit easier: http://www.bm-group.co.uk/testspace/bmgroup/HomePageButtons.zip If you take a look in the library folder called 'R&D Buttons & Clips' its the movie clip called 'Projects Clip 'IN' that has the command applied when you click on the button inside it. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks Charles p.s. I know the links dont work and most of the buttons are missing but I've only just started this particular job. The script on your 'Projects Clip IN' button is OK at frame 1, but not at frame 7 Modify the last part of your button's script on frame 7: on (release) { _parent.gotoAndPlay("Swap 1"); } Also, you might have had other problems because the instance of 'R&D Buttons Clip' on the main timeline has no instance name. Thanks W M D, sometimes when you've been looking at something for so long its hard to see you've done something really simple and stupid!
