simple question; how do I move from frame to frame with buttons on an Animate CC HTML5 canvas

[Dylan32609]

I can't make a button component work; I dragged it from the components list directly to the stage, converted it to symbol, gave it an instance name and gave it the "Click to Go to Frame and Stop" snippet.

I've tried variations of...

this.button_1.addEventListener("click", firstButton.bind(this));

function firstButton()

{

this.gotoAndStop(2);

}

what am I missing?

Why on earth are you using the components? Just make a button symbol and use that.

Hi Clay,

Tried that also, and it works to open a webpage but not to move to another frame......as for the component, I was just following another tutorial on YouTube for that instance....so what's wrong with my code that it won't move from frame 1 to frame 2?

To make a button move the animation to the next frame this is the way I have done it,

Put some text or a rectangle on your scene, convert to symbol (button) and give the button an instance name (on the properties panel)

Select your button, go to window - Actions on the code editor I suggest you use the code snippets HTML5 Canvas - Timeline navigation - Click to go to frame and play, this will add a piece of code if you double click.

and then you just have to change the frame number that you see in between parenthesis on the this.goToandPlay(2) statement.  remember that the number is counted starting from first frame being 0 , second frame 1 and so on.

good luck.

Hi Francisco,

Yes I tried that, it's standard procedure, but it wasn't working for me.....a YouTube tutorial mentioned converting it to symbol, then deleting it, then moving it's counterpart in the library back onto the stage and giving it the instance name.....this works and I'm beyond that problem now....I don't know why CC won't use the original conversion but at least it works....
