I have been working with Flash for 20 years but have only made presentation style movies in AS3. I SWEAR on my love of dessert that I have created dozens and dozens of presentations using this exact method only now it doesn't work.
As a test of sanity I created a simple movie with 4 layers and a keyframe on frame 1 (layer 1), 5 (layer 2) and 10 (layer 3). At each frame on an ACTIONS layer I have a stop(); action.
On frame 1 I draw a simple rectangle and convert to a symbol and name it button1. I also give it an instance name of button1. I click CODE SNIPPETS after selecting the button and tell it to got to frame 5 and stop.
stop();
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop(5);
}
I publish that and it works fine.
On layer 2, keyframe 5 I draw another rectangle, name it button2 and give it an instance name of button2. I select it, apply CODE SNIPPET telling it to go to frame 10 and stop.
stop();
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop(10);
}
I publish that and I get the access of undefined property error. What is happening? Have I completely forgotten how to create a simple AS3 movie? Do I smell almonds? What the hell am I missing? There is no logical reason for this error to happen, right?
EDIT: TURN OFF ADVANCED LAYERS. I searched in the forum and found the answer.
