Hi, I'm having problems w

Hi,

I'm having problems with a button. I've given it a insatnce name etc... but no matter what I actionscript I give it, it won't run properly. Basically, I'm using it as an exit/close button but it won't close with the code:

on (release) {
    fscommand("quit");
}

....or what I'd like it to do is go to an eding scene, with my company logo in a small aniamtion, which I've already created, but I've tried attching the following to the exit button and it still won't work...

on (press) {
    gotoAndPlay("End logo", 1);
}

Is it a problem with my button? I created it from within Flash!



Cheers,

where are you putting the code. i think that must be the problem. as it has an instance name use that. code on timeline. mx only.

my_button.onRelease = function(){
//do something
}

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. As I'm a relative newbie to Flash, how exactly do I write the code to the timeline? Do I highlight a particular frame and then add the code?

just right click in the frame of the timeline and select actions

Hi,

So far I've got the following code:

exitBT.onRelease = function() {
    fscommand, ("quit");
};

....is this OK? If it is, it's not doing what it should!!

FS Command ("quit", "&quot

this only works with projectors and not on line. that what you want.?

hI,

Yeah I'm creating a CD-ROM for my new business. I'm creating it as a projector (.exe)..

I still can't get it to work properly. So far I've got:

exitBT.onRelease = function()
{fscommand("quit", "");};

...is this right? I've go this attached to the last frame in the scene (which it stops at) on the layer where the button appears!

I've not done much on ActionScript - I'm a VB programmer by trade..



Cheers,

Paul @ Bullet-Proof Designz..

Hi,

I got the button to work! Well it palys the End Logo scene, but at the end of this scene I want it to quit/close the projector..

I added the actionscript from the normal mode in the last frame. I selected the code from the Actions >> Browser/Network >> fscommand menu and then selected quit from the drop-list. When the movie reaches the ends of this scene, it just loops back to the start of the first scene

Cheers,

You could simply on the last frame add the following frame action, and it should work...

stop();
fscommand ("quit"


Regards,

Bacon, eggs and sunshine are still good for me!

Hi,

Thanks for the helps guys. I managed to get it working OK. The only trouble is, I had to delete the End Logo scene and create another one, added the fscommand script, then it worked OK..
