nav bar movie

[max longstaff]

Hi,

I am creating a nav bar which is a movie symbol, the problem is when the buttons are outside of the movie symbol they work -

on (press) {gotoAndPlay ("scene1", 1);
}

But when they are in the movie the actions don't seem to work,

anyone know whats going on

cheers Max

Once the buttons are inserted into the movie clip symbol, the actions will no longer work for the main timeline. You need to add _root. to tell it to affect the root timeline of the movie

_root.gotoAndPlay(YOUR SCENE/FRAME HERE);

If you still have trouble, post your .fla file up here.

Hope this helps.

on (press) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("bar", 1);
}
still not working, is the code right

Sorry about that, it's a long time since I've used scenes....

It doesn't like targeting a scene from within another movie clip, so what you need to do is put a frame label on the frame in the scene you are trying to get to, and then target that with your link.

For example, if you want to get to the first frame of the second scene and you label that frame "scn2fr1", you would use the following code on your button within the movie clip:

on (press) {
	_root.gotoAndPlay("scn2fr1");
}

Hope this is clear enough for you. I've attached a sample file just incase it helps.
