go to next frame 2

[NetworkGuy101]

I have exported a powerpoing presentation to flash and now I have some buttons I want to add to go to the next slide or previous. I know there has to be a better way to do this than what I have. I am using this code:

on (press){
_root.gotoAndstop(2);
}

Then I make a keyfram for the next slide change the script to 3, 4 , 5 etc.. to make it advance to the next slide. I am very new to flash. I am sure I could dot it with a variable or something but I need help please !!

All help is appreciated.

Try something like this:

on (press){
_root.gotoAndstop(_currentframe + 1);
}



There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

How about a simple nextFrame() action?

on(release){//Better than on press...
_root.nextFrame();
}

What if I wanted the event to take them to a new URL onpress or release? How would that go. Thanks-Joe

on(release){
    getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com/",[/URL] "_blank");
}

No linebreaks in the above...

Great Thanks! Sorry to bother again but is it possible to make this window a popup?

Visit

http://www.flash-db.com/PopUp/

, create the popup with the features you want or don't want, and generate the code. Then it's simply a question of copying & pasting the generated code on your Flash button.
