More newbie button problems...
by butterflyv on Oct 2, 2007 at 2:13:07 am

Hi again, I am having problems with my leaf graphic looping again. I'm not sure why. It should stop once the word "start" appears. Then the user clicks "start", the leaf graphic should disappear and a tree graphic appears (tree movie clip). All that's happening is that the leaf graphic loops over and over. Argh! Please help! Thank you sooooo much....here' the newest file.

Your script is generating an error because your playTimeline function is sending a gotoAndPlay command to treeMC which doesn't exist yet. And the error is causing the leafMC to loop.

I temporarily changed your function to this and it worked:

---------------------------

stop ();
function playTimeline (evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace("hello");
// treeMC.gotoAndPlay(31);
}
leafMC.startBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playTimeline);

stop ();

---------------------------

The double back slashes at the beginning of the line comment out that line and the flash player ignores it.

And once I dragged your tree movie to the stage and gave it an instance name of treeMC it worked fine.

And you can change your function to the code below in order to get the leaf to disappear one the start button is clicked.

Hope this helps.

---------------------------

stop ();
function playTimeline (evt:MouseEvent):void {
// trace("hello");
leafMC.visible=false;
treeMC.gotoAndPlay(31);
}
leafMC.startBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playTimeline);

stop ();
