flash (macromedia):
Hello -
I am a newbie, but really enjoying learning flash. I bought a website
template and have successfully understood most of what it's doing and how it
works. There is one change that I would like to do. Let me give you the
scenario and hopefully you can follow, I'll include a link to the site to show
you how it works. I have the main page (Scene 1) that loads and has 4 buttons,
one of them is the "gallery" button. When pressed, it brings up a movie clip
(thumb1) in a region of the page. On the thumb1 movie clip, you can click on
any of the thumbnails and it "closes" thumb1 and shows another clip (big1).
The big1 clip has a "back" button that runs the script:
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>3) {
_root.robot.play();
_parent["b"+_root.link].play();
_root.link = 3;
_root.play();
}
_parent["b"+_root.link] is referring to the "gallery" button. What this
snippet basically does is remove big1 and bring back thumb1. This is all fine
and well so far. The problem is that in the thumb1 clip, I have 3 different
sets of thumbnails, viewable by clicking the 1, 2, or 3 at the botom. I would
like the back button to not go back to the first "page", but back to the page
where the thumbnails are on. Basically I would like it to do a gotoAndPlay(22)
or gotoAndPlay(44), but when putting that code in, it doesn't work.
It is probably easier to just view the site!

* Click on the "gallery" button
* Click on pages 2 or 3
* Click on any thumbnail
* Click "back" when you see the larger version
-- Here is where I would like it to go back to page 2 or 3, not back to page
1.
It's so confusing, any help (if you understood my plea), would be appreciated.
