go to label on current scene from mc

[rubychyld]

I'd sure appreciate any advice... I'm going around in circles...

On the main scene named "lookupSplash" the second frame has a stop action.
There is a movie clip playing.

On the mc's second to last frame it has the action:
scene.lookupSplash.play = "theEnd";
or
scene.lookupSplash.gotoandplay = "theEnd";

the last frame has this action:
stop();

problem is, it never advances to this label, which is on the 4th frame of
the main timeline.

why?

Thanks a million, Liz Catch the vigorous horse of your mind!

Without seeing the actual fla file it is hard to visualize but you may need to use == instead of =.

Just try it and it may work. Ya' Gotta Love It!

hi

If I'm reading your post correctly, your action just has to be:

_root.gotoandplay("theEnd"

When Flash compresses scenes to swf format they are basically concatenated into one huge timeline. So if you have a label "theEnd" in the middle of scene 3 (for example) then it can be targetted on the _root timeline.
