Navigating Scenes in AS3

[Cody Powell]

Hello,

I have been using Flash for over a year at my work in AS2.  It took me a pretty good while to learn how to navigate scenes in that ancient script; Now I am still struggling with using a Navigation panel (with 2 function buttons and a Reset button).

I know my buttons have to have instances, and they have to (or so I've been told) have a "_btn" at the end of the button symbol name.  My instances match the button symbol names to clear the confusion.

I know it starts off with a "stop():" at the beginning so it doesn't just play on.

I know that I have to have all my script for every button at the beginning, (or End?) of each scene in an actions layer at the top.

I will pay someone whatever to convert my as2 file to as3.

Thank you,

It is a naming convention to use things like _btn in naming instances, but it is not a requirement.

If you can show a brief example of the code you need to convert, it might be possible to preovide you a guide for doing it yourself.

If you want to consider hiring me to do the conversion, contact me by private message.  I will warn ahead of time... using scenes in a Flash design that involves navigation can be problematic.  It is better to use one scene and manage the different sections in different sections of the timeline or as movieclips that you show as needed.

Ned,

Thank you for that useful hint on naming conventions, as well as using scenes to navigate on a main timeline. Your right. That's why you never see tutorials on it. I have

I will contact you personally. Appreciate your fast response!
