How do I make buttons within a movieclip play from a specific frame in scene 1?

Hi guys
I have a movie clip on the main timeline. This movieclip has buttons that I want to play different frames in scene 1.
At the moment, this is the code I'm using in scene 1.
learnclouds_mc.anna_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickanna);
function clickanna(evtObj:MouseEvent){
gotoAndStop("annasstory", "Scene 1");
I'm getting the error below but have no idea what I should be doing.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at Work_Life_Flash_Stage_1_fla::MainTimeline/frame4()
    at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
    at Work_Life_Flash_Stage_1_fla::MainTimeline/golearnclouds()
i hope somebody can help me!

If you only have the one scene, you do not need to include the scene argument in the goto method call.
The 1009 error indicates that one of the objects being targeted by your code is out of scope. This could mean that the object....
- is not in the display list
- doesn't have an instance name (or the instance name is mispelled)
- does not exist in the frame where that code is trying to talk to it
- is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
- is one of two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects with no name assigned in the preceding frame(s).
If you go into your Publish Settings Flash section and select the option to Permit debugging, your error message should have a line number following the frame number which will help you isolate which object is involved.

Go to destination is unsupported in DPS. You should be using go to url with a navto: command.

I need to make button which made a spool from my oracle forms 2.1

i need to make button which made a spool from my oracle forms 2.1
how can i do that
thanks alot

Wow, you just said the same thing. First, when you say "Forms 2.1" do you mean "Developer 2.1", which included Forms 5.0? Regardless, are you aware that these Forms versions are about 15 or more years old?
What you are trying to do is still unclear. Are you trying to output records to a text file formated to csv? If you need assistance, please provide some clarification as to what you are trying to accomplish.

If you have copied them to your computer, then you will be OK. Just deselect the photos when you sync.

How to make Finder NOT to show files from a specific folder in "All My Files"?

How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

iPhoto is not very smart with multiple photos...
I don't think you can move multiple photos and I suggest the following turnaround, using the "combine pages" option mentioned in my previous reply.
Create a blank page that you move next to the page(s) where the photos you want to move are;
then move your pictures there one by one (use the new page as a temporary parking space),
then merge this new page were you want to move the multiple pictures, using the "combine pages".
This would save time if your journal has many pages, so you don't have to move each photo through multiple pages but just to the next/previous page.
I just made this up but I tried it and it works!

Then back it up and do a restore. If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

How do I get my itunes songs to play from computer onto a playstation

How do I use a button within a movieclip to go to the root?

Hi there, I am new to flash and AS3 and need some help
getting my buttons to work.
I made a script for the file that i am working with that has
buttons located within 2 movieclips. I want that button to load and
image into a UILoader (problemLoader_mc) that I placed on the stage
on the main timeline (the timeline that contains WeekBar_mc). The
problem is that I don't know how to get to the root of the file to
start a new directory to tell my function to load the image i want.
I have tried multiple approaches including:
MovieClip(root).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
MovieClip(parent).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
root.problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
parent.problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
(root as MovieClip).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
If anyone can help me out with this, I would greatly
appreciate it, I am banging my head against a wall at the moment.
(Also, please excuse my vague descriptions, I am still learning the
official terms.)
Here is the code that I have written that pertains to this
problem:

I have a mental block for reasoning things out as far as
assigning the listener to an object two mc's away from the main
timeline while having the function in the main timeline, so I may
play with that on my own for awhile. One thing you didn't do
though, was to pay the same attention to the problemArray[0]
assignment in that function, which I assume also lives in the root.
But here's what I'd do for the moment.
Take all that code except the array and plant it in the
timeline where WEEK1btn lives, modifying it as follows....
WEEK1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pload1);
function pload1(event:Event)
MovieClip(this.parent.parent).problemLoader_mc.source =
MovieClip(this.parent.parent).problemArray[0];
I haven't utlized root myself yet, so I am not comfortable
offering you a solution that attempts it.

Button within a movieclip

Hi all,
I am relatively new to Flash and am looking for help with a
file I am working on.
I have created a movieclip of an area which is placed so that
only the outer right edge is on the stage. When the mouse hovers
over the area, it moves onto the stage and reveals menu options. It
works beautifully as an animation, and the menu options (which have
over, down, and hit states) work when not part of this movieclip,
but when I place instances of the buttons within the tweened
movieclip, they no longer work.
I have been scouring the web for answers and most people say
that you cannot have a rollover within a rollover as the first
rollover (in my case, the movieclip) is still active.
I have seen this work with various files in flashden for
example where the menu slides out from the side and then slides
back in when you 'roll off' but while you are 'rolled on' you have
access to menu options which all perform their own roll on/off
movies.
Hopefully there is a simple answer!
Thanks in advance.
J.

I had to step out for awhile too.
Well, I'll give you a jump start on the AS version of Tweens.
Taking this approach will give you a better bit of sliding. With
your gotoAndPlay(label), you'd end up having things probably still
jumping around when it moves from the background to a button and
vice-versa which would end up complicating the coding to avoid it.
Below is a link to a small sample file I made for you that
you can study/utilize... it was easier than trying to explain it in
this forum. It shows you a better way of coding mouse interaction
stuff as well (using on(...) attached to objects is bad practice...
now outlawed in AS3).
The way I did it has all of the code visible in the main
timeline so you don't have to go digging and clicking on things to
find code.
The menu's background is a movieclip and the menu's button is
a button. I only have one button, but the more the merrier as long
as they all have their own code and instance names. Though for the
rollOver you could assign them all as follows:
btn1.onrollOver = btn2.onrollOver = btn3.onrollOver =
function(){...}
I forget during this edit (some hours later) if I have a
rollOut for the button, but since/if the background surrounds it on
all sides, you can probably eliminate it... only the background
would need to have that aspect covered.
There are two versions of the file linked below... a CS3
version and a Flash 8 version.
Sample Fla
File - CS3
Sample Fla
File - Flash 8
PS - my host's server is acting up today, so be
patient.

How do I make sure my music will play when I burn a copy of a slide show?

How do I make sure my music will be included when I burn a copy of a slide show. I have made many many slide shows over the years with the music in perfect sync to the slides. I recently updated my iMac to OS 7. I did not want to do it because I heard it created issues with iPhoto. But because I had updated my iPhone and my iPad, and although I don't like OS 7 (the first time I have not liked an upgrade) I thought I could figure out how to solve problems/ differences. Well, this has me stumped. It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer. Does anyone have any ideas why this does not work, and what I have to do to ensure that the music I selected and added to the slide show using the settings did not burn along with the iPhoto slide show?

What is really your MacOS X version? iOS 7 is the operating system for iPhone, iPad, iPod.
But what versions are you using on your iMac? Have you upgraded to Mavericks, MacOS X 10.9.x and iPhoto 9.5.1, or are you using an earlier version?

How did you export the slideshow and burn the DVD?
To have the music play along with the slideshow, you need to export your Slideshow project as a video file - use the "Export" button below the Slideshow window and select a format.
Check, if the exported video does play well and the audio is present.
Then burn a video DVD using iDVD or Toast, or a similar program to burn video DVDs, see:
