Going back from scene 2 to particular moment in scene 1

Hello all,
I have encountered a problem, and I need help from more experienced flash users.
I am creating a webpage in flash, and for now, it consists of 3 scenes. First one is a loading bar, scene 2 is a main page with all menus, and on 3rd scene there is a gallery. I plan to make many galleries, each in different scene. Everything is ok to the moment, when I want to go back from scene 3 to scene 2. Scene 2 consists of many layers and movieclips, however, the main timeline consists only of one frame. When, in scene 2, I will get to the moment from which I am going to scene 3, so to some gallery, then after I am comming back to scene 2 (via gotoAndPlay('Scene 2', 1)), I am getting to scene in a state, as I see it just after loading bar disappears. But I want to be in a place, from which I went to scene 3. How do I achieve this? I think, there should be a way of remembering status of the scene 2 in such a way, that after comming back from scene 3 I would be in the same place from which I left to the mentioned scene 3. Be advised, that scene 2 is in one frame, and all movement in the scene 2 is done by actionscript and movieclips. I am using AS2.0.
I hope I explained it in understandable way, let me know if there is a need for clarification.
please help me before I will go crazy
thanks!

When you use scenes, which I am recommending you don't mainly because they can be unpredictably problematic when it comes to mixing in navigation, when you compile the file, everything gets clumped into one long timeline anyways, so your reason for using them isn't holding.
If you plan to have galleries, then going with a design that loads them dynamically rather than storing the content in the file is the best way to go.   If you take a movieclip approach you can create your whole design in just one frame of the main timeline, loading your galleries when called for, and controlling other content via changing visibility or other properties.
But even if you spread things along the one scene's timeline, you can have variables that you assign status info to that can be retained for the length of the timeline so that if you return to a section you can use those variables to set things back up to whatever status they should have.

    Any ideas how could I make it work from Jinit 1.3?

  • Having problem installing Snowleapord, going back from lion.

    I own MBP 2.66C2D 13" 2010, I downloaded and installed lion very first day, before that i was felling my system response is getting quiet slow, after intalling lion i felt that i should refresh my machine from scratch so i can have every thing back (talking about speed), what i did i restarted the machine and used command+r to get into recovery mode of lion, there i erased my main HDD and selected the option to reinstall lion, after couple of clicks i noticed that lion is again downloading, i already have installation disk which i made after downloading lion first time, so i thought that i should reinstall snow leapord from the dvd and then install lion from that disk, i again restrated my book after inserting leapord dvd and holded option key there i selected dvd as a boot drive and my system started asking me about language then when i was moved to the screen where i was suppose to tell system in which drive it should install leapord my main and only HDD was comming with full free space but there was small yellow exclamation mark and when i selected that disk it said cant install in this disk, this is my first mac i bought it last year never tried to do this before, i was long time windows user, i would like anyone to help me what i did wrong and what im lacking, please reply as soon as you guyz can i cant keep my system in this position tomorow will be momday and i have to prepare my system for starting the week.

    Ok JaEvo, i finally resloved the issue, i couldnt installed snow leapord then i left the idea of installing that, what i did i restored my lion back frm my time machine backup, everything was there where i left that, so accessed my lion dvd and noticed that my dvd had only one file and i.e. Dmg file, i read the article again of making lion dvd so i realised that i made that dvd by just copying dmg file on my dvdand pressed burn button on my finder, so finally i erased that dvd and used disk utility to burn that image on dvd so after burning process i got 3-4 files &amp; folders in the disk, then i restarted my system and holded c till i saw he apple logo and little gear, after almost 10 minutes i again came to lion restore page the i erased me main HDD and gone back to option where i selected install new copy of lion, lion gave me 30 minutes in begening and saying it will download some component and in 5 minutes my system restarted and installation began, took almost 15-20 minutes, then every thing started freshly i made account &amp; etc, but for those who are having problems with lion i must say do clean installation if lion and see how Lion will roar on your machine, soon we will see 10.7.2 and i believe we will have so many small bugs fixed.
    Thanks for everyones support, this will help others.

  • Going back from 3.06 - 3.04 ?

    Hi
    Installed fine, and downloaded UK maps via phone (uk voice with street names already installed from before).
    Launched and set driving destination.
    Worked for a few secs then froze & phone became unresponsive. Eventually rebooted itself.
    What's the best way to remove 3.06 & reinstall 3.04 ?
    Thanks
    PS I also posted this as bug on beta forum

    Might have fixed it - but won't be certain until some serious navigation is undertaken !
    Deleted Cities & .qf via PC.
    Opened Ovi Maps & these were rebuilt.
    Tried to redownload UK maps via OviSuite - but the latter refused to detect maps on the phone.
    Tried to download UK maps via wi-fi - was told that 215MB required, but max. level on progress bar was 245MB ! Download failed.
    Deleted Cities & .qf again (this time directly on phone with File Manager - worked OK this time).
    Relaunched Maps & downloaded maps again - worked this time.
    Also had to download UK voice (with streetnames).
    So far has worked but will test properly later.
    The first few times I had used 3.06, the UK voice was still on the phone from 3.04 & I didn't have to redownload. I wonder if using this previously installed voice was causing a problem & I had to clear this & redownload for 3.06 .... ?

  • Going back to FCP from Color...use original format or ProRes422?

    OK, so I've color graded all 5 reels for my feature film and am finally ready to send back to FCP and reassemble! I'm hoping Shane Ross can jump in here too since he's been SO helpful up to this point :-) So I have two different formats which I've graded seperately...720p DVCPROHD stuff (99%) of film and two scenes which were HDV 1080p24. So far when I've sent back my DVCPROHD clips I've rendered out of Color using ProRes422..but my Resolution Presets: and Width & Height settings are what I'm most concerned with. What I've done when sending back to FCP is use Apple ProRes 422 with Width 1280 and Height 720 and changing my Resolution Preset from 720 x 576 DV PAL to 1280 x 720 HD to match the Width and Height settings (not sure if I should leave this at 720 x 576 DV PAL??). However, the clips show up in FCP as 133%..so obviously upscaled. So now I'm going to export the DVCPRO stuff to Compressor to upscale to ProRes422 1920x1080 to bring back and match with the HDV 1080p24 footage before FINAL export to compressor again. Should I not be sending the Color clips back to FCP upscaled to 133% with my Color settings...since I will then again be upscaling in Compressor? Or will it really make that much of a difference? And also, should I check the Broadcast Safe circle in Color when sending back to FCP? I didn't color correct with the Broadcast Safe on so should I now to be on the safe side?
    Thanks!
    David

    Ok Shane, So actually just went over my Color outputs and I did render everything as ProRes 422 at 1280x720 ...and the clips back in FCP are scaled at 100% so that's good...for some reason I remember having some that came back at 133%...maybe that was just a couple clips somewhere that were wrong...I'll figure that out...but I didn't check Broadcast Safe on the renders so I guess I can go back and re-render with broadcast safe on...so we did shoot 720p HD and I AM going back still in HD from Color.
    Now I'm having another issue with the HDV 1080p24 stuff...which is actually only 20 shots of the entire film. But for some reason I'm noticing that they are interlaced when viewing on my FCP timeline, which my settings are HDTV 1080i 1920x1080...now when I export the scene out to Compressor as a ProRes 422 1920x1080 .mov it actually looks great on my computer monitor...no interlacing that I can tell, looks great. However, if I drop it onto my FCP 1080i timeline then there is interlacing again...and worse, when I make a SD DVD it is also interlaced...most noticable an actor's shirt, there is a bit of Moire effect going on...this must be because I'm downconverting to 720x486?? So I've been killing myself trying to figure this one out. Doesn't appear that deinterlacing in Compressor helps any either. Is my only option to blur it out with a gaussian blur of around 2? (the HDV clips do show as 1080p24 in FCP) Not sure if the interlacing would be gone if I were to burn a bluray since it's a higher resolution?? My settings in FCP are 1920x1080 HDTV 1080i (16:9) Pixel Aspect: Square, Apple ProRes 422 BTW.
    There's also quite a bit of color blurring when watching from a burnt DVD from DVD Studio Pro...wish it looked as good as it does on my LG LED 32" screen with Matrox mini...man, do DVD's really look this bad? REALLY considering going and buying an external BluRay burner today
    So if I could just get this interlacing problem resolved somehow...

  • I send an email from my Iphone to a friend.  My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message.  She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number.  Why?

    I send an email from my Iphone to a friend.  My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message.  She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number.  Why?

    We went through my friend's phone and my daughter's email and phone number are not in it.  I have never given my daughter's iphone number to my friend.  Is it something to do with gmail or my apple id?  My daughter (14) has been using my computer as her "base" for HER Iphone. 
    My friend does use her iphone number as an email address as well.
    For instance:  her phone number might look like this:  (493) 305-3958
    and her email address would look like this:  [email protected]
    If I Iphone/email my friend, she receives it as a text message.  Then if she replies to that text message, it goes to my daughter's phone and not mine.  It's completely crazy!  We searched her phone contacts and did not find my daughter's phone number anywhere or attached anywhere to mine.  Since when does Iphone emailing wind up in the text messaging area?

  • When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two

    When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two.
    It did it with my old iPhone 4 in last month or so, and it I hoped it would go once I updated to new iPhone 5. The problem has transferred to new phone too.
    I can't sign in to iTunes account on iPhone. It takes the password then resets to baseline. No error message comes up. On the base computer (pc) it will allow me to sign up and buy songs, apps etc. I can then sync the phone and put them on it. It just won't let me buy direct from the .
    As there are no error messages I am at a loss what to do. I have updated the payment details on my account, and my husband has an iPhone 4 and has no such problems. We share the same wifi. I have tried with 3G as well as wifi, with no luck.
    I am pretty much out of ideas, and have tried searching forums but there is so much overlap between queries that I can't find a similar problem from someone else, but I am sure it exists!
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance
    Sarah

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

  • FireFox is the best internet navigator so far, but starting from this date of July 16th 2011, I'm going back to IE and stop using FF as long as I'm still getting 20 to 25 plugin containers in my Windows Task Manager. Goodbye FF.

    I have been using FF for the last 8 years. Starting from today of July the 16th 2011, I'm going back to IE and say goodbye to FF as long as I'm still getting 20 to 25 plugin containers in my Windows task manager.

    I have the "techie" answer for all of you. According to the tier 2 support at Norton Help Desk, the latest live update from Norton "utilizes Visual Studio 2012 which enables SSE2 instructions" and my processor can not handle that.
    He said they are "working on a solution" and offered to reply back on Wednesday / Thursday this week if a solution could be found...

  • Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

    Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?  The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function.  Am I missing something?  It was so easy with Windows.

    Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

  • Save a Switcher from Going Back to a PC Tonight!

    I've been using PCs for as long as I can remember. With parallels available to run Windows XP within OS X, I finally made the switch and bought an MBP. Two weeks and one exchange later, I'm planning to return my MBP tonight and buy a VAIO SZ or Thinkpad.
    But the truth is, I'm hoping someone on this forum can save me from going back to a PC. I've posted individually on some of these issues below, but haven't read any solutions. If you've got a solution to any of the following, please let me know!
    - HOT HOT HOT: This is my biggest problem. Completely idle w/ no programs open = 48C. Running a few apps = 60-65C. Peak = 78C. These seem in line with intelmactemp.com, but even the top/wristwrest at 65C is too uncomfortable to type on for longer than 1/2 hour. I've been waiting and hoping for thermal paste break-in, but no signs yet. Even then, I've read to expect only a 2-5C drop, which doesn't sound like much. I think I need 10C.
    - EXCHANGE INTEGRATION: I use Goodlink on my Treo 700p, and sync Notes and Tasks with Exchange so that I never have to sync my Treo with my computer. Entourage is horrible, but would be acceptable if it synced Notes and Tasks. From my Google searches, it sounds like there is no way to edit and sync Notes and Tasks with Exchange in OS X. Anyone have a solution?
    - GARAGEBAND HISS: When I record a podcast, I hear a hiss in the background every time I speak. Again, Google search and posts on forums yield nothing. This makes GarageBand unusable to me for podcasts.
    - ICHAT QUALITY: The very first time I tested ichat with my brother, we got a huge screen with great quality. Clearly H.264 at work. In the 10 times since with him and friends, I haven't been able to get that screen, even while monitoring Network Doctor and plugging in directly to high-speed broadband connections. The quality now is worse than Skype video on Windows. Any clue what's going on?
    So that's it. The rest I can live with: poor battery life, heavy laptop for features, lack of dual-layer, no PCMCIA like the VAIO SZ which has both PCMCIA and ExpressCard, etc. But the above is just killing me, both on the hardware and software front.
    Please save me from switching!

    Well I switched 2 years ago, some specific suggestions:
    - HOT HOT HOT: This is my biggest problem. Completely idle w/ no programs open = 48C. Running a few apps = 60-65C. Peak = 78C.
    --- Mine runs at 43 deg idle 50 deg running apps, so this has never been an issue for me. Sorry....
    - EXCHANGE INTEGRATION: I use Goodlink on my Treo 700p, and sync Notes and Tasks with Exchange so that I never have to sync my Treo with my computer. Entourage is horrible, but would be acceptable if it synced Notes and Tasks. From my Google searches, it sounds like there is no way to edit and sync Notes and Tasks with Exchange in OS X. Anyone have a solution?
    --- Exchange doesn't sync notes and tasks. I use the palm entourage conduit to sync calendar and addressbook, but gave up using notes and tasks to sync - they just live on my palm now.
    - GARAGEBAND HISS: When I record a podcast, I hear a hiss in the background every time I speak. Again, Google search and posts on forums yield nothing. This makes GarageBand unusable to me for podcasts.
    ---- don't use Garageband
    - ICHAT QUALITY:
    --- I chat usually gets blocked by firewalls when I'm travelling so I use Skype for mac instead
    So that's it. The rest I can live with: poor battery life, heavy laptop for features, lack of dual-layer, no PCMCIA like the VAIO SZ which has both PCMCIA and ExpressCard, etc. But the above is just killing me, both on the hardware and software front.

    The only thing I'd suggest is to get out of the PC 'habit'.
    The OSX interface is much nicer with its 'floating' windows, widgets and expose features.
    The adjustment pallets in office are great.
    Most of all I like the look and feel of the true fonts rather than windowsvery bitmapped 'jaggy' ones.
    IPhoto, iWeb and Aperture are great for photography
    Mail is nicer to use than outlook
    Spotlight is superb for finding things really fast
    I simply couldn't work without iDisk for syncing my work and swapping files
    Need I go on...?
    Switching is about workarounds, giving some things up and finding new delights. You can't expect your mac to behave just like your PC as well as being a mac....
