What kind of code do you use to move to a new/next screen?

Greetings,

I've been working with Animate CC and a bit of ActionScript 3.0 for about roughly a month as part of my IT study. As part of my final project for this Animate CC course I have chosen to create a short Visual Novel game. Basically the idea is that you get to see a screen, you click on a 'talk' option (like 'move to your house' or 'visit the city') and clicking an option results in switching to a new screen (with a house/city as the background image).

Sadly I didn't have to do any assignments in the past involving 'screen switching', so I have no clue as for what kind of code I need to make this work. Googled for it as well, with no luck. So now my question is, what kind of ActionScript 3.0 code/functions/etc. do I apply to simply be able to 'switch to the next screen' in a selfmade game in Animate CC?

Thanks in advance,

Sander

I'm guessing that you are using the timeline to develop each of these individual screens. You are probably using the stop(); command to hold the playback head on the frame where the first decision point, your option screen. You will need to make each of the options a button and attach some Actionscript to the keyframe where this decision point is located.

Here's a good tutorial for that sort of thing: Creating a Basic Flash Website (AS3 Version)

That looks indeed exactly as for what I'm looking for. Thank you so much!
