I have built/animated my website layout using MovieFX and I cannot get my animated button movie clips (used MovieFX) to jump to the proper place in the timeline when the button is clicked. When I click on my buttons, nothing happens. Is there some special way to do this? Is this even possible?

Thank you,

Horea,

I have emailed the .fla file as requested. The "concept" button that is embedded into the "MenuMC" movie clip located at the bottom of the movie has actionscript to Goto and Stop at frame 5. However I cannot get this to work properly.

Hello Gerik,

Your button is in the MovieClip MenuMC? and you want to jump to frame 5 using the folowing code:

on (release) {

//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
this.gotoAndStop("5");
//End Behavior

}

The problem is caused by this?, because this? is referencing to the MovieClip you are in (MenuMC).
In order to jump to frame 5 from the root you have to change your code to this.

on (release) {

//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
_root.gotoAndStop("5");
//End Behavior

}

I sent you the .FLA file via email with the solution.

Guys,

Now that you have helped me with the timeline navigation I have another question/problem that is timeline related. For instance,

If I animate a layout in frame one, then have another set of animations in frame 5, everything works as it should when clicking a button that makes me go from frame 1 to frame 5.

If I have another set of animations that begins at frame 10, everything works as it should when clicking a button that makes me go from frame 1 to frame 10.

The problem is getting the same result if when I click the same buttons but are in a different place in the timeline. For example, if I'm on frame 10 and click a button that takes me back to frame 5, I end up back on frame 5, however animations that are loaded in frame 1 are loading up under it, in addition to the animations that start on frame 5.

Also when going back to frame 10 from frame 5 (or anywhere other than frame 1) all of my TextFX components in frame 10 don't seem to animate properly.

Can you help?

Thanks,
Gerik Grant
