Re: [flasher] Jumping from scene to scene

You cannot jump from one point in a MC to a keyframe in another MC if the target MC is not currently in the timeline. Well, not

without making a little detour that is :-)


Have your button set a value for a variable on the main timeline and go to the keyframe in scene 1 where the main MC is in. In that

keyframe, use an action with the value of the variable (set by the button in the scene2 MC) to tell the main mc to go to the

keyframe you want.


button action in scene2, MC 'menu'


on (releases)

tell target ("_level0")

set variable ("/:varLabel", "myLabel")

gotoAndPlay ("main")

end telltarget

end on


where "main" is a keyframe lable that has the 'main' mc in it.


In the keyframe labeled "main"


tell target ("/menu")

gotoAndPlay (/:varLabel)

end tell target


You might have to put that action in an if() statement, in case you do not always want the menu MC do something. In that case make

sure the variable 'varLabel' is empty.


if (/:varLabel ne "")

tell target ("/menu")

gotoAndPlay (/:varLabel)

end telltarget

end if


HTH,
