Function or var for: gotoAndPlay("1")

[MoveMents]

Hi

In AC2 there is a function for gotoAndPlay("1"). Please help me with an equivalent for that in AC3.ne with

I have a main timeline with 4 animations. When one of the animations is finished I want the playhead to jump to the start frame of this animations and start playing again automatically. I would rather not put the animation in a seperate movieClip. And it is not activated by the mouse.......

How will the code look like - the only examples I can find is with an Event handled by a Click......

The code is still same in AS3:

gotoAndPlay(frameNumber);

thanks a lot....hmm but do I not need anything more?

this.gotoAndPlay(frameNumber); in a frame do not work

You do not need to use "this", and you do not use quotations when you specify a frame number (or use a variable).  You only use quotations when you specify a frame label.

[relaxatraja · Accepted solution]

this or MovieClip(root) has to use depends on where you'r calling the gotoAndPlay, if you'r on the mainTimeline then just use

Targeting a frame number:

gotoAndPlay(20); (or) gotoAndStop(20);

Targeting a frame label

gotoAndPlay("label") (or) gotoAndStop("label");

Targeting a frame number on scenes:

gotoAndPlay(1,"scene 2");

When targeting from within movieclip to play the top level timeline:

MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(20); (or) MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay(20);

To Target some movieclip:

mc.gotoAndPlay(20);

Hope it helps!
