Hello there,

I hope someone may be able to help me from this amazing network out there. I am building a site in flash and have a horizontal sliding menu of image buttons. I got the script online for it and to make the menu work, sensitive to the mouse position, the buttons are placed within 3 movie clips and then finally placed on the main timeline.

I would like to target a frame label on the main timeline from the button within three movie clips. Is this possible? P1 is the name of my label.

I have tried:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("p1");
}

and

on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("p1");
}

and

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("main" "p1");
}


Nothing happens. Any help would be excellent. Also, are there certain versions of flashplayer that this doesn't work with? I have tried 4 and 6. If this is not possible do you have other suggestions. The button really just needs to load a larger photo. It's a photographer's site.

Thanks alot, ;)

Niki

I found out that this sliding menu uses a script for the buttons:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("/:" add eval("..:text"));
// THIS goes to the FRAME with the name of the button you just clicked on.
}

This seems to work but only on one button but I am not sure why. Also this movie had 7 scenes and when the button was released it went to a different scene I think. Now to modify this for me is very difficult as I am not great with actionscript.

you said the frame label is P1, but you wrote ("p1")

i think it's case sensitive.
try

on (release) {
	_root.gotoAndPlay("P1");
}

Hi,

Nope it wasn't case sensitive problem. And now I am using :

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("/:" add eval("..:text"));
// THIS goes to the FRAME with the name of the button you just clicked on.
}


but still have the same problem. Only one of the buttons work and the other five don't. Don't know what to do. Anyone seen this script before or have any suggestions?

Thanks alot,

Niki

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to target a label on the main timeline from within 4 mcs?

Would I use _level0 for example:

on (release) {
_level0.gotoAndStop("one");
}

or is there another way. I mean this doesn't seem to be working. I am really stuck on this if anyone could help I would really owe you one!

Thanks,

Niki
