I hope I’ve covered this in a new post I made about buttons and scenes and uploaded some FLAs: http://flashthusiast.com/2008/07/31/creating-buttons-that-link-to-different-scenes-using-actionscript-30/.

It sounds like you may need to make sure to target the scene in your button code, because if you’re pointing to frames Flash may get confused once it’s published (in a SWF, there’s only one sequence of frames).

Does that work/help?

Jen.

I have the same problem as Amy Berg (June 17th) - is there any way to make buttons work while navigating around frames in scenes?

Would appreciate any feedback you could give, thanks!

Hi Jen,

Hope you can help me..
Here’s my AS3 code for buttons leading to URLS (hoping to open in the same window):

Trailer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler);
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(”http://the-slopes.com/The_Film.html”), “_self”);
}
Ksusha.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler2);
function clickHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(”http://the-slopes.com/Ksushas_Interview.html”), “_self”);
}
Stas.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler3);
function clickHandler3(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(”http://the-slopes.com/Stas_Interview_2.html”), “_self”);
}
Basement.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler4);
function clickHandler4(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(”http://the-slopes.com/Basement_Tour.html”), “_self”);
}

it works fine when I test it in flash, but when i actually upload it, none of the buttons go anywhere..
any thoughts? thanks in advance..

I am writing for help because I am at my wits end. I am trying to make my flash portfolio using these instructions. There are 12 buttons, each going to a different frame. (I have put the frames right next to each other, not on 5 and 10 ect I don’t know if that is bad) Anyway, everytime I put in your code and (and alter it to my specs) It tells me mouse event is wrong. Now I have tried working with it, but really, only the first button would end up working.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I would be so grateful for some guidance.

All buttons are btn1-btn12 and Frame1-Frame12

stop();
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1);
}

btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler2);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
stop();
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(3);
}

btn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler2);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(4);
}

I have a file with three scenes. They all reference buttons that navigate to content in “Scene2.” I can use these buttons to navigate to Scene2 from both Scene1 and Scene3, but once inside Scene2 they no longer work. However, if I play straight through Scene1 without navigating at all, the buttons in Scene2 will work. None of my code has changed and my file was working yesterday.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Amy

Thanks alot!

this is my code:

stop();

but_profile.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(73);
}

but_portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler2);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(73);
}

but_contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler3);
function mouseDownHandler3(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(73);
}
