How can user return to main scene on a portion of an image that is 20 inches wide, rather than being sent to the first image all the time.

Question

I have a 24 inch wide image in the main scene, which is cut up into six smaller images, all clickable. When a user clicks on one of these smaller images they are taken to a second screen. However, when they click on the Go Back, they are always sent to the first image, not on the image that was clicked on. How can I get the Go Back to actually go back to the image clicked on?

Answer 1

Actually, that's AS1 that you're using. You have an enterframe function running as code in the frame. In AS2 it might go something like this:
stop();
// you need two variables that exist outside of the functions...
var tempX:Number;
var diff:Number = 0;
// this function will loop on frame one and control the movement of the large movieClip
// I simplified the code from what you provided
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if (_xmouse>750) {
        diff = (_xmouse-750)/2;
    if (_xmouse<50) {
        diff = (50-_xmouse)/2;
    if (_xmouse<=350 && main_text._x<=0) {
        main_text._x += diff;
    if (mouseX>=450 && main_text._x>=-1200) {
        main_text._x -= diff;
    if (main_text._x>=56) {
        main_text._x = 56;
    } else if (main_text._x<=-2300) {
        main_text._x = -2300;
// when you click on the large movieClip, the current position is stored in a variable...
main_text.onRelease = function() {
    tempX = main_text._x;
    gotoAndStop(3);
// this is the for the button to return, it will position the large movieClip using the stored value from the variable...
goBack.onRelease = function() {
    gotoAndStop(1);
    main_text._x = tempX;
