gotoAndplay problem 2004-02-20 - By Daniel Kessler
Back
I have a little problem that I can't figure out - so it's turned into
a big problem. I tell a movieclip to play but it only plays to it's
second frame. I check that the movie is fully loaded before I play
it and this is 700 frames in. So, onto the explanation...
I have movieClip "boothriser" that rises up the screen through
timeline tweening. When it reaches it's stopping point, I want a
sign to pop out the side. The sign is in it as the movieClip
"intro_text_anim". It's first frame is a stop so that it doesn't go
right away. It's second frame has a label "start" where it tweens
the sign, a graphic symbol, to the left, making it visible through a
mask.
When the main movieclip stops rising, I have on it's keyframe:
boothriser.intro_text_anim.gotoAndPlay("start");
I also tried adding this script to boothriser, with an
onClipEvent(load), but it does the same thing. I know that
intro_text_anim is available as it's on the first frame of
boothriser. So why won't my movieclip play?
5 minute update - 1 hr of "aaargh".
