go to next scene

[Bmstenner]

all,

i have a flash file, it has two scenes, on the first scene there are two buttons, i would like to be able to click one of the buttons to navigate onto scene 2

i have tried going to the "Actions > movie control > on > scene 2 and also Actions > movie control > go to > scene 2"

but neither seem to work, anyone know how to use this feature?

thanks for reading,

Brendan

If your button is on the main timeline, you can target a scene name with...

on(release){
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1);
}

"Scene 2" should be the exact name (caps & all) of the targeted scene.

If your button is in a movie clip or is in an external movie loaded on another level (not layer!), then you would have to target a labeled frame, since targeting scene names wouldn't work. Thus you would label the first frame of Scene 2 with an unique label, such as start2 (no number only labels, or at least not starting off with a number), add _root(from movie clips) or _level0(from movies loaded on another level), and target that labeled frame in your button's or frame's actionscript...

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("start2"
}

The labeled frame method would also work from a button on the main timeline, and since it wouldn't in other cases, might as well get used to allways use the labeled frame method.

OK, i tried it and... I cant get my head around it still..

Can I start again? I have a blank presentation, with two click buttons, i want to insert another slide, so i do so..

ive got two slides, the second slide only says "test" but on the slide, it was the two buttons, if i add a "goto" command to slide 2, it will loop back into slide 1 and continue to flash through the two...

I am just a little thick.. :-D
