Hey, that is awesome! You were right, simple. So simple, in fact, I was skeptical if it would work. But it solved my problem like magic! Thanks for the easy fix!

OK i found the problem, its wasnt the script, it was that my buttons didnt start at the first frame, so i guess thats why the script didnt find them. Now, can someone help me with the part that i dont know how to disable the function on the same FLAG, for example:

If im in Home and i click to go to Location, i want Location to be disable once i get to that frame where Location is, in other words, i dont want to press the button and reload the same frame im at, since im going to use animation for the entrace and exit for each section.

Thanks!

I dont know what to do pls help me.

Here’s my problem:

In my main timeline, i have my “FLAGS” with the names (LOCATION, MENU and HOME) in different frames. i have a main bar on the bottom that has all my menu buttons, that bar has an instance(menu2) its a movie clip that inside has my buttons. I can’t make those buttons control my main timeline, i get errors.

The reason i have the actions for this buttons in my main timeline, its because when i go to the frame with the flag LOCATION, i dont want this same link to be active, it looks bad.

heres the code im using:

function goLocation(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop”LOCATION”);
}

menu2.locationBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goLocation);

and this is the website im building http://www.azuldowntown.com

thank you very much for your time.

Best regards.

MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(10); you’re a genius. Thanks for posting this.

I’m trying to get this code to work on mouseclick, but things just are not cooperating for me. I’m using the following:

next_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);

function onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(“ExteriorBack”);
}

3hrs looking for this ‘simple’ solution. Annoyed as I’ve already seen it, I assumed MovieClip was an instance name doh!

Thank you very very much
