Hi everyone my name is Daniel,
I would like some help. I am using Flash 8 to build a website. I have built the whole site within one flash movie by building the different sections of the site (i.e. Bio, Photos etc) along different parts of the main timeline, with each section animated in and animated out.
My problem is I have the same set of buttons in a movie clip runnig through the whole flash movie. Because each section animates out I am having trouble in actionscript saying "on release play till this section animates out then play from the begining of the new section". I have written some actionscript but it doesnt seem to work. I am a novice at actionscript but if anyone can amend it, tell me where Im going wrong, or just think of a better way to do it I would be very greatful.
p.s. I have a layer where i have named the frames on the begining and ending of each section
This code is from the Bio button
on (release) {if (_root._current frame == "BioEnd", "PhotosEnd" , "MediaEnd") {_root.gotoAndP lay("BioStart") } else {_root.play()}}
Many Thanks
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
There are two things that I think is wrong with your code there. I'm not an expert, but I think that _currentframe returns the frame number and not the label. Flash CS3 has a new attribute called _currentlabel, or something like it, which returns the current label name of a particular frame.
Another mistake you've made is the if() statement expression. To test an if() statement against multiple conditions, you need to use the following operators: || for "or" and && for "and".
Therefore, your if statement should read:
if (_root._current frame == number1 || _root._currentf rame == "PhotosEnd" || _root._currentf rame == "MediaEnd")
By using || (or) you are saying that the actions contained within the if() statement will be executed if any of the conditions are true, whereas && (and) implies that all conditions within the if() statement would have to be met before the script contained within the if() statement is executed.
Good luck with your project, I know what it's like to be stuck when you're doing these things.

Hello,
I am attempting to get a software prototype UI/demo built in Flash to
talk with existing C++ (so I can exchange data and commands between
the application-software already developed in the C++ source with its
prototype UI/demo to be built in Flash).
Can anyone provide examples or guidance for such an effort?
