Topic: Programming / What the hell? (Help Required.)

Just been playing about again in a complete new project.. The _root. seems to be the root of all evil (excuse the pun..). It stops my buttons from working..

stop();

begingame.onRelease = function(){ }

gotoAndStop("1");

seems to work, whereas with the 3rd line as:

_root.gotoAndStop(“1”);

it doesn’t.

WEIRD.

Topic: Programming / What the hell? (Help Required.)

I’m using AS2.. like the book uses.

And I’m using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional.

I’ll have another play later.. I was just interested into why the _root. didn’t let it work.

Though, having said that, i’ve just seen the capital typo, and that may of also stopped it from working. Thanks for the replies anyway :)

Its odd that removing the _root. made it work though, don’t you think?

I’ll try what you suggested aswell. Thanks :)

Topic: Programming / What the hell? (Help Required.)

Actually, I think I found the problem. The _root. isn’t actually needed. Maybe it was needed in the version of flash that the book was written using (MX 2004 I think.)

Will the _root. affect anything else? (Sorry for treble post).

(The code is on different lines… just didn’t show properly in the post.)

Topic: Programming / What the hell? (Help Required.)

Okay, so this week I went out and bought myself Beginning Flash Game Programming for Dummies, and have been enjoying it so far.

Anyways, I got to the first ‘practical’ part of the book where you make a simple adventure game.

I’ve made the buttons, and have two keyframes. The frame labels are ‘here’ and ‘there’. I have a button (is definatly a button symbol) on the first keyframe, and the code is as follows:

stop(); btnGoThere.onPress = function(){ _root.gotoAndPlay(“there”); }

On testing, this button DOES work.. and correctly goes to the next ‘state’.

But when I get to the next one, I cannot go back to the previous.. The button is called btnGoHere, and the frame I want to goto is called here. The code =

btnGoHere.onRelease = function(){ _root.GotoAndPlay(“here”); }

On testing, I cannot get back to the other frame.. The first button links fine, but then will not let me go back. I know this is really really basic, but its stressing me out.

I’m in FlashCS3 Professional, using AS2.

Thanks for any help, P.S i’ll send you the FLA if you leave me your email address, if you don’t understand whats wrong either (:
