flash actionscript: I have a button in urgent_mv layer just below the main timeline. I have a
reset button on the main timeline. I have a variable called URGENT that gets
set to on or off in the urgent_mv. When I have a customer hit the RESET button
on the main timeline I want it to go to a particular frame in the urgent_mv
layer and stop (frame 1 in particular). Anybody know how to do this? I can
set my variable easily enough:
urgent = "no";

I just need it to go and stop on the urgent_mv layer's first frame.

Thanks in advance.

Try
_level1.urgent_mv.gotoAndPlay(1);

because if the MC is on level 1, as you said, you'll need to specify the level before the MC's name.

hth,

Hmmm, tried that, but it still didn't work. Here is the source code:

http://www.theyharmonfam.com/download/formfield.fla -- the swf is there too.

Basically, if you look at the swf, you can check the "urgent" box. When you
hit reset I want it to clear.

In the FLA I believe layer 16 contains the reset button. On another layer you
will see the checkbox. Double-click on it and you will see my 2 frames of
stuff.

Hope that helps narrow down why this wont work.

Thanks in advance.

ok... you just didn't assign an instance name to the MC. If you name it
"urgent_mv" (select the MC on stage and put this in the textfield under
'properties'), then you could use your first code:

urgent_mv.gotoAndStop(1);

Don't use gotoAndPlay, because then you would check/uncheck it every time you
press Reset. ;)
