flash actionscript:
I can't figure out why when I use the rollOver and rollOut function on a movie clip that contains 'labeled' frames why it doesn't jump to the frame like I expect. This action was inserted on a button on the main timeline: on (rollOver) { test.gotoAndPlay ('Start'); message.text = 'Should Be Playing Start'; } on (rollOut) { test.gotoAndPlay ('End'); message.text = 'Should Be Playing End'; } On my movie clip 'test' I have a frame labeled Start, that i can get to play but after it runs i have a action to stop it. stop(); Then later in the movie clip I have a frame labeled End that never gets executed on the rollout. I put a dynamic message box in my movie to test it out. The text changes on the rollover and rollout of the mouse from the button, but the scripts don't run as expected. Can anyone offer advice or point me to some resources on this topic? I am a beginner and any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
I am no expert bit I think this will help you out, try placing _root before your symbol name. It just lets your movie know that you are working with a symbol on the main stage. on (rollOver) { _root.test.gotoAndPlay ("Start"); message.text = "Should Be Playing Start"; } on (rollOut) { _root.test.gotoAndPlay ("End"); message.text = "Should Be Playing End"; } Hope it helps. -redLetter
