Great video, but how do I set up a botton so that when it is clicked my movie goes back to frame 1? I have a map set up and when the user clicks on something a litle movie clip appears with info, but I need a back button for them to return to the original page. I know it has to do something with gotoAndStop(1); but I'm not sure where to put it. Any help would be great, thanks
thank you! that has been killing me im not sure if it was adding _btn to the end or what but know it works and i can take a lolely big deep breath and calm down, might even light a scented candle
THE REASON WHY YOUR ACTIONS ARE NOT APPLIED TO THE BUTTONS IN CS3 IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU STARTED YOUR DOCUMENT, IT'S SET TO ACTIONSCRIPT VERSION 3.0 BY DEFAULT
The way round this, is to go to 'Publish Settings' in the 'File' Menu and select Actionscript 1.0 or 2.0
Then you can apply actions to items just as you would in older versions.
By setting Actionscript version to 1.0 as a default in your document settings on creation of your flash animation will avoid this in future.
Excuse me, I need help. When I co to actions, it won't let me type anything, it just says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it." I selected the button, I don't understand why it doesn't let me type the script.
For some reason, the button won't let me apply actions to it. I'm trying to get it to restart the movie. I just moved over from ActionScript 2 and I'm confused. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Action script 2 or action script 3?

Lol I figured it (or so I think). I was in CS3 (still am) under actionscript 3.0. You want to use 2.0
