Help with gotoAndPlay (as2.0)

Hi all,
Im trying to make a navbar in flash for my new site, and am having some problems. Last time I used flash was about 4-5 years ago, so bare with me, my actionscript might be rusty. Im trying to have a stop command at frame 1, and then when I rollover each button it will jump to a different frame, run about 10 frames, and then stop again. I feel like I used to do something like this (actionscript2.0):
\\on the frame
stop();
\\on the button
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay(10);
But it is just showing errors. I have cs4 and am trying to use as2.0 because its what I'm used to, but if someone knows how to do this in 3.0, that would also work out swell. Thanks for any help.

First, check you Flash Publish Settings and make sure they are set for AS2.  Second, if you are getting error messages, include them in your posting.

  • Need help with gotoAndPlay

    I'm a noob to flash so any help is appreciated.
    I have a home button on my flash page which has links to a function that calls gotoAndPlay(1) but when I click on it twice, it takes me to frame 2. I'm totally confused. here is the AS3 for frame 1.
    // script start
    stop();
    homeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoHome);
    function gotoHome(event:MouseEvent):void
         SoundMixer.stopAll();
         this.gotoAndPlay(1);
    import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    this.stop();
    function startMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
         SoundMixer.stopAll();
         gotoAndPlay(2);
    trailerButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startMovie);

    i assume there's a stop() on frame 1.  and that's normal behavior.
    to remedy, use gotoAndStop(), if that's what you want.

  • Beginner needs help with gotoAndPlay syntax

    Hello out there.
    I am modifying a Flash template which I downloaded recently
    The following code has been placed on a symbol which is defined as a button.
    on (release) {
    _root.link = 3;
    _root.gates.gotoAndPlay ("s1");
    I interpret this code to mean that _root.gates is the instance name which is located in the root timeline and it will move the play head to the frame labeled s1 in the gates instance which I assume is a movie clip.
    How do I locate the gates instance in the flash file. I have looked at every symbol in the entire flash file and none of them have instance names.
    Please help if you can. Thanks

    You've probably narrowed it down to being an object from the library.  Now you need to see if it is either on the stage or is loaded dynamically.
    If you right click on the object in the library and select Linkage..., you'll be able to see if it might be loaded dynamically.  In order to load it dynamically, in the Liinkage panel it will need to have the Export for Actionscript option checked (and one other) and will have an Identifier defined for it.  This identifier is what will be used to pull it from the library via actionscript (using the attachMovie method).
    If it doesn't have things in the Linkage established as I've described, then it likely lives on the stage.  If you are unable to find it, then it may be on a masked layer, or it may be set invisible on the timeline, or it may have a blank first frame which would make it appear as a mere dot on the stage if selected.
    Now, regardless of whether you find how it's added to the stage, if your intention is to edit this object in some way, You don't necessarily have to figure out the details of how its added to the stage.  To check if the object in the library is the one you want to edit, edit it in some simple way so that you can tell if the item you edit is the item you want edited.  If it is, then do the editing you intend.

  • Looking for help with movie loading in a different spot every time page reloads.

    Hello,
    I have a Flash movie that I need to jump to a one of 6 chosen frames when say a user hits the back button or home in the site. I just dont want the same user seeing the flash movie replay in the same spot everytime they go back to home.
    ANY help with this is appreciated.
    Thanks ahead of time.

    Here is what I have scripted:
    var numbers:Array = [2,114,415,687,960,1195,1485];
    _root.firstTime = true;
    if(firstTime) {
        firstTime = false;
        var frame:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * numbers.Length);
        gotoAndPlay(numbers[frame]);
    I have also tried this:
    Array.prototype.shuffle = function() {
    for (var ivar = this.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {
    var p = random(ivar+1);
    var t = this[ivar];
    this[ivar] = this[p];
    this[p] = t;
    ASSetPropFlags(Array.prototype, ["shuffle"], 1, 1);
    var Array_ar:Array = new Array(2,114,415,687,960,1195,1485);
    Array_ar.shuffle();
    index = 0;
    function load_random() {
    gotoAndPlay(Array_ar[index++]);
    if (index == Array_ar.length) {
    (index=0);
    load_random();
    But this keep jumping to frame 1 each time i hit back or refresh.
    Thanks again.

    That did not work. It loops back to the frame that it first loaded to not to frame 1 the beginning.
    It tried putting gotoAndPlay(numbers[frame]); on the very last frame, then I made a new keyframe after the very last frame and neither worked.
    You can see the swf here:

  • Help with form sending the data to email

    I have looked all over the Internet for help with this.  I have tried numerous video tutorials and for some reason I can't get it to work.  I have created a form in flash cs4 AS2.  It is a contact information form where the user fills out their information and sends it.  I have created a the form in a movie clip (I have also tried it not in a movie clip) with the form components inside that movie clip.  I have given each component on the form an instance name.
    The form has:

    Phone (with IN = phone)

  • I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.

    Hi, thanks for reading!
    I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
    I have a problem where I need to use a corporate designed
    .swf in a digital signage solution, but have been told by the legal
    department that it can not be modified in any way, I also can't
    have the source file yada yada. I pulled the .swfs from their
    website and I decompiled them to see what I was up against.
    The main swf that I need to control is HCIC.swf and the
    problem is it starts w/ a preloader, which after loading stops on a
    frame that requires user input (button press) on a play button,
    before the movie will proceed and play through.
    What I have done so far is to create a container swf,
    HCIC_container.swf that will act as Target for the HCIC.swf, and
    allow me to send actionscript to the file I'm not allowed to
    modify.
    I managed to get that done with the help of someone on
    another forum. It was my hope that the following script would just
    start HCIC.swf at a frame past the preloader and play button, and
    just play through.
    var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container",
    getNextHighestDepth());
    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.addListener(this);
    mcLoader.loadClip("MCIC.swf", container);
    function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
    mc.gotoAndPlay(14);
    But unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Because there
    is a media-controller.swf, that is being loaded by HCIC.swf that
    has the controls including the play button to start HCIC.swf.
    Here's a link to a .zip file with all 3 .swf files, and all 3
    .fla files.
    http://www.axiscc.com/temp/HCIC.zip
    What I need to do is automatically start the HCIC.swf file
    bypassing the pre-loader and play button without editing it or the
    media-controller.swf in anyway. So all the scripting needs to be
    done in HCIC_container.swf.
    I know this is confusing, and its difficult to explain, but
    if you look at the files it should make sense.
    ActionScripting is far from my strong point, so I'm
    definitely over my head here.
    Thanks for your help.

    Got my solution on another forum.

  • Need Help with a Flash Web Project

    Hello, everyone. I am trying to use Flash to make a two-step
    system. I want the flash document to, first, allow a person to
    upload multiple image files and then, second, for the flash
    document be able to create a slideshow with the uploaded images and
    fade in and out from each image until the slideshow is over. I want
    it to be where the flash document creates its own slideshow with
    the images that are uploaded in the first step that I mentioned. I
    want it to do it completely on its own so I need to know how to
    give it the proper AI so that it can do this task.
    So, are there any tips that anyone has on how to do this? Can
    anyone tell me exactly how to do this? I really need help with this
    for my new website project. Thanks in advance, everyone!

    The problem with the text not appearing at all has to do with you setting the alpha of the movieclip to 0%.  Not within the movieclip, but the movieclip itself.  The same for the xray graphic, except you have that as a graphic symbol rather than a movieclip.  To have that play while inhabiting one frame you'll need to change it to a movieclip symbol.
    To get the text to play after the blinds (just a minor critique, I'd speed up the blinds), you will want to add some code in the frame where you added the stop in the blinds animation.  You will also need to assign instance names for the text movieclips in the properties panel, as well as place a stop(); in their first frames (inside).
    Let's say you name them upperText and lowerText.  Then the code you'd add at the end of the blinds animation (in the stop frame) would be...
    _parent.upperText.play();
    _parent.lowerText.play();
    The "_parent" portion of that is used to target the timeline that is containing the item making the command, basically meaning it's the guy inside the blinds telling the guy outside the blinds to do something.
    You'll probably want to add stops to the ends of the text animations as well.
    If you want to have the first text trigger the second text, then you'd take that second line above and place it in the last frame of the first text animation instead of the blinds animation.
    Note, on occasion, undeterminably, that code above doesn't work for some odd reason... the animation plays to the next frame and stops... so if you run into that, just put a play(); in the second frame to help push it along.
    PS GotoandPlay would actually be gotoAndPlay, and for the code above you could substitute play(); with gotoAndPlay(2);

  • Can you help with the code to publish Flash to my own domain.

    Thank you for your help, I publish the my site to my own domain, I do not use .Mac, I tested your code and ity works well on .Mac, can you help with the code to publish to my own domain.
    Thank you again

    You appear to have just collected a variety of code snippets and thrown them together, including a section of AS2 code ( gage.onRelease = function() {... )
    The suggestion I offered yesterday still stands.  You should find a tutorial regarding AS3 and the atan2 function.  Beyond that, what you show suggests this is a school assignment.  You should seek help from your fellow students and instructor if that is the case.

  • I need help with a button animation!

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help with a simple-looking problem which
    nonetheless has me stumped!
    I have a feeling that I've missed something obvious.
    I've created a movie clip to act as a button (I've called it
    "abs_button") and placed it on the stage.
    My main movie has one frame.
    Within the "abs_button" movie clip there are 5 layers.
    Labels, actions, default button state, rollover state and rollout
    state.
    Technically, default button state, rollover state and rollout
    state could be on the same layer as they don't overlap, but I've
    given each animation its own layer for clarity.
    FRAME 01.
    Default button state is one frame with a graphic of the
    button. Just a label at the start ("abs_up") and a "stop();" action
    at the end.
    FRAME 02 to 31.
    Rollover state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
    ("abs_over"), "stop()"; action at the end.
    FRAME 32 to 62.
    Rollout state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
    ("abs_out"), "stop()"; action at the end.
    All animations were achieved with tweens.
    My initial "abs_button" code:
    on (release) {
    getURL("targetPage.htm", "_self");
    on (rollOver) {
    gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_over");
    on (rollOut) {
    gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_out");
    As it stands, the animation jumps to frame 1 of "abs_out" on
    rollout.
    I need the "abs_over" animation to always play through to the
    end, as the "abs_out" is "abs_over" in reverse (i.e. image grows
    large on rollover and shrinks again on rollout.
    I've tried for 2 days to solve this, but I clearly need help.
    My experiments with variables simply didn't work.
    I would be grateful if someone could tell me where I'm going
    wrong!
    Thanks,
    Andy

    use this:
    on (rollOver) {
    gotoAndPlay("abs_over");
    Since the code is attached directly to the movieclip, you
    don't have to
    identify the clip. A gotoAndPlay() function takes a frame
    number or a
    frame label name as its argument, never the name of the clip
    that
    contains the frame number or name.

  • Please help with simple Drag N Drop

    I’m desperate and need some help with this simple drag
    and drop. Here is the scenario…this animation is for a
    kindergarten course. I have 6 different colored teddy bears on the
    floor and the bears are to be placed on the middle shelf in the
    room, in no particular order. I have the code in place to drag the
    bears, and they return to their original location if dropped in the
    wrong area. Everything works, except I can’t make the bears
    stick to the target area. The target area has to be the same for
    all 6 bears. Can someone help me out with this?
    I have a feeling that the problem has something to do with my
    instance names, but I have tried everything I can think of and
    cannot get it to work. Is there some way I can post, send, or
    attach my .fla file for someone to look at? I’m desperate.

    I buildt an image gallery with AS2 and XML, now I want the
    user to be able to check a checkbox next to the image whenever they
    want to select it as one of their favourates...it's kind of like a
    catalouge and it should just write the image info to a seperate
    word file or spreadsheat or even another movie. Is there any way of
    doing this and how do I get started?
    Thanx for any help

    What is your question? You're subject implies you want help
    with a checkbox,
    but then you ask about exporting an image from Flash, and you
    include a
    whole bunch of code with no explanation. Nobody is going to
    look through all
    your code for you. If you want to know how to export an image
    then Google
    'flash export image' or similar. There's a lof of info on
    this subject
    available from various blogs.

  • Help with linking buttons to Scenes

    Hey,
    Rookie to Flash and AS3. Just needed some help with my buttons. Im making a flash program about pancakes (random I know). I have a "Mainmenu" scene and then a "Recipe" scene. I have a button on my mainmenu which takes me to the recipe page when I click it, the code behind the button is
    "stop();btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
    Then when I arrive at my recipe page I have a button which will take me back to my MainMenu, the code behind that button is:
    "stop();btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse5DownHandler);function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
    So I run my program and the first button works and takes me to recipe page but the button to get to the main menu does nothing, click it and no response or anything
    Please help

    First, hopefully having all your code mushed onto the same line is a copy/paste error, otherwise it should look like...
    stop();
    btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
    function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
         gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
    If the intention is to click the buttons to make them work, then you should use CLICK instead of MOUSE_DOWN.  MOUSE_DOWN can be a persistent state whereas CLICK involves releasing it afterwards.
    As for the code to get you back home, where is it located on the timeline?  Are you getting any error messages when you try to use it?
    One thing you should learn to use is the trace() function.  It is useful for troubleshooting.  You can use it now to see if your second button is talking to the function at all...
    stop();
    btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouse5DownHandler);
    function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
         trace("the button works okay");
         gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
    If you don't get that message in the output panel, you'll know the button is not properly coded to work.
    Most folks here will recommend you get away from using scenes in a design that includes navigation--they have a history of being problematic.  Instead of using scenes, divide the one main timeline up into sections or use movieclips for the sections and manage their visibility... or do a bit of both.

  • Help with detecting child video playback end

    I have a flash file that plays multiple videos. I'm trying to
    set it up so that all of the videos are loaded by a second (child)
    swf, imbedded in the first. The first (root) would call the second
    (child) swf, play the video, and at the end of the video, playback
    of the parent swf would resume. I can't seem to figure out how to
    do this. If I try to make a call to the root from the second swf, I
    of course can't because it doesn't know the root exists. The parent
    (root) swf has the following code on the frame that calls the
    child:
    ~~~
    stop();
    var loadVideo:URLRequest = new URLRequest("videoinset.swf");
    var videoLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    videoLoader.load(loadVideo);
    // Identifies which frame to play in inset video
    var vidclip:String = "intro";
    function swfLoaded(myEvent:Event):void {
    stage.addChild(videoLoader);
    var mycontent:MovieClip=myEvent.target.content;
    videoLoader.x = 210;
    videoLoader.y = 150;
    mycontent.gotoAndPlay(vidclip);
    videoLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    swfLoaded);
    ~~~
    How can I tell it that when the child gets to frame(#), to go
    back to the root and resume play?
    I am using netstream to play the videos. There are 6, each
    called by a different frame in the videoinset child swf.
    Thanks for any help with this.

    Any help with this really would be appreciated; if I have not
    explained it clearly enough, by all means please let me
    know.
