Re: FLASH: why does this work and then not...

[Karin Christensen]

Poor Nick,

Still trying to jump to a scene.  Why don't you just send us the

script you are using.

It should look something like this:

(I am ignoring your graphic because it doesn't play a part in it.)


You have a label in the first frame of scene two (for instance).  The

label name is "two"


In the *instance* of the button in the movie clip you should have this

script:


On (Release)

      Begin Tell Target ("/")

            Go to and Play ("two")

      End Tell Target

End On


Some people use ../ but just / will work.


Possible reasons for it not working include: misspelling the label

somewhere, you are trying to test in the authoring mode rather than

test movie, the button property has been changed to a graphic or...

Once or twice I have seen (and this has happened once to me) that the

button simply does not act like a button.  I don't know why, it just

will not behave as one.  Everything will look perfect but it will not

work.  If all of your scripting is fine, try using a different button

(borrow one from the library) and see if it will work with a new

button. If this is the case you need to rebuild the button from

scratch.
