Tutorial - Web Page Controls Flash Movie

Free Tutorial

Part Three: Know Issues:

1. Use "_level0 " when referring to just the main time line and "_level0/InstanceNameOfMC" when referring to a Movie Clip. The InstanceNameOfMC is whatever the Instance Name of the Movie Clip is, in the Property Inspector, in Flash (you need to type in the Instance Name). You must give each Movie Clip an instance name that is individual and unique. Do not use spaces with Instance Names and do not start the name with a number.
   
   
2. Sometimes when using the go to frame label or number, you may need a play(); action script code on that label or frame, as the Movie might not always automatically play when going to a different frame and label. However most of the time it should be okay. You can use something like this:
   
   
   Go to and play or stop at a specific frame label or frame number:
   
   <a href='javascript:example.TGotoAndPlay("_level0/InstanceNameOfMC", "NameOfLabelOrFrameNumber")'>Goto And Play Method</a>
<a href='javascript:example.TGotoAndStop("_level0/InstanceNameOfMC", "NameOfLabelOrFrameNumber")'>Goto And Stop Method</a>

Note: I have never been able to get these methods work! So it may or may not be possible to use these above methods. Please give any feedback on the forum, and I will update this tutorial: Forum
