What am I doing wrong in actions? Please help.

Hi,
This is first time I'm using Flash Professional CC, so I'm complete newbie and I do not wish to continue to learn that particular program in the future, so please do not point me to the learning program videos.
I'm trying to make simple presentation containing only 4 frames. For that purpose I followed that tutorial:
How to Create an Adobe Flash Slide Show
I'm positive that I made everything correctly to the point where Actions are made.
I'm not a programmer and I have no idea about coding.
When I put in actions:Frame 1 this:
"stop();
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showpic1);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showpic2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showpic3);
button4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showpic4);"
The test gives me changing incredibly fast frames without end.
After taking next step from that tutorial above:
"stop();
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showpic1);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showpic2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showpic3);
button4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showpic4);
function showpic1(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("pic1");
function showpic2(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("pic2");
function showpic3(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("pic3");
function showpic4(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("pic4");
I'm getting only first frame and nothing more happens.
Could you please help me straighten up my code?
Thanks,
Ania

the double quotes before stop() and the double quotes at the end after gotoAndStop("pic4");} should be removed.
test.

  • I have no idea what I am doing....please help....nothing works

    Hows that for a subject???
    I am trying to use the SAP NetWeaver 7.02 trial. Never seen SAP before. I have completed the install, but I cannot login. I can open the SAP MMC, the database manager, sql studio. But I when I open SAP Logon 720, I don't know any valid users I can use. I have tried DDIC and SAP. In fact I tried DDIC so many times, its locked. Took a long time, but I finally figured out how to go into the database and delete the SAP user for client 001. But SAP* still does not work with password PASS or pass.
    Is there something obvious I have missed??? I have seen many posts that talk about running some transaction, but I am thinking that needs to be done after I logon. What do I do???

    Well I could not find an exact match to the path you mentioned.
    I went to \usr\sap\nsp\dvebmgs00 but there is no profile directory. I also tried \usr\sap\nsp\sys\profile and did find a nsp_dvebmgs00_sap file, but there isn't any login/no_automatic_user_sapstar.
    I went ahead and added a line for it and expected it to not work. But I just tried it and I am logged in. Thanks so much for solving this!

  • What am I doing wrong? flv not found on server!?

    I really need some help please!
    Here is a step by step of what I've done:
    Created a folder on my desktop. Copied .mov to this folder.
    Created a new flash file (Actionscript 3.0, CS3). Saved into same
    folder on desktop. Used Import Video to import .mov file
    (Progressive download, etc). Video imported fine. I tested the
    movie and all looks good. So then I published. I checked out the
    publish previews and all look good!
    So next I took my folder from my dekstop and all it's
    contents (.mov, .fla, .flv, .swf, skin.swf, .html, and .js) and
    uploaded to my ftp. When I go to the site nothing shows up and it
    says there was one error opening the page. So then I looked at the
    activity and it says the .flv is not found. But I checked AGAIN and
    the .flv is in the same folder as the rest of my files.
    Am I missing a step? I am very new to flash and I can't
    figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help? Should I be
    posting this in another forum?
    Thanks!

    Check with your hosting provider to make sure their MIME type
    is set to display the FLV format.

    I originally setup up the account for my daughters Ipod and now I don't remember the answers to the Security questions for Itunes.  I try to reset them and fill in new answers to new questions but everytime I do and click save, the screen appears to take my changes, but when I click a different category a window asks me if I would like to save changes or disregard changes I have made.  I click save and log out.  Then I open the App store on my Macbook pro, and attempt to make my 1st purchase, I am then asked to answer old security questions.  What am I doing wrong?

  • What am I doing wrong when trying to create a floating field?

    I am trying to create a floating field that is 'connected' to a global Text field. To my opinion I followed all instructions as in the help file, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyhow, the information I type in the text field does not pop-up in the text. I have setup the floating field as follows:
    Type = Text field
    Appearance = none (I do not want a box or something around the text)
    Field format = plain text
    Presence = hidden (excluded from layout)
    Value = calculated (read only); I have tried all other options too, but nothing seem to work
    Calculation script
    Binding = global (and name is the name as used for the text field)
    I have used another text field that is connected to the same text field as referred to above and that works just fine.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Can anyone help me out here?
    Thanks!

    If anyone is following this thread, I found the solution to my problem where the Floating Fields did not work.  BTW, I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 4.
    Under Form Properties/Defaults, you need to change "Choose Target Version" to "Adobe and Adobe Reader 9.1 or later".  Save the change, and floating fields should work now.

  • What am I doing wrong with my recorded actions?

    I'm trying to set up Photoshop to create a bunch of thumbnail images. I've got actions to select various preset sizes with the marquee tool, and then one action that copies, creates a new document using the clipboard preset, pastes, and then resizes the image to 150 x 150 px.
    The problem is that the resizing seems to have a mind of its own. Sometimes in the new image I get the selected area with a big blank space surrounding it, and sometimes most of it gets pasted outside the canvas so only a small part is visible. What am I doing wrong?

    No, sorry, it's CS1.

  • After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

    After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

    You should be getting an error message that PS CS5 requires a higher version of ACR with two options "render using Lightroom" or "open anyway". You should choose the first option. If you are not seeing the error message then go to your Lightroom prefrences >General Tab> under Prompts> select "Reset all warning dialogs", then try the edit in function again.

    I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
    Try this
    download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
    close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller

  • Everything I own (iPad, iPhone, mac) is set up on wi-fi.  when i bring my work computer home (dell laptop), I cannot get it to keep the connection in a different room. All my other devices work.... does anybody know what i am doing wrong? please help!

    Windows drivers for Intel wireless cards are known problematic.. If you have plenty of signal and it still cannot keep or hold the connection the issue can simply be the type of wireless.
    Another problem is using names that windows does not easily handle.
    eg If you set the TC using apple names, like
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule wireless24ad12
    Then to windows this is too long.. it has spaces and it has illegal character.
    Change all names on the TC to suit windows. Short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Also security must be suitable.. I have no idea how old or what OS your dell is, but if you still have issues.. pull off the security on the TC for a test.. if the computer suddenly works, it is not compatible with WPA2 AES. Make sure you also use a password that is mix upper and lower case plus numbers.. avoid special characters and make it 10-20 characters long say.. it is not required to be more than that unless you are paranoid.
