Go to different frames by pressing a menu item
(2007-08-17 - views: 1979)
Q: How can I go to a certain frame of my movie clip when I click on a menu item ?
A: This is possible by inserting an extra attribute in the xml file of the menu. In this example we added the "frame" attribute to our items, which we than read when an item is pressed. The frame can be identified either by frame number or by its label. This method can be used for both components: the Accordion Tree Menu and the Accordion Menu.

Problem corrected
Thank you for reporting it. We've made a modification to the code: changed the me.gotoAndPlay(frame) line of code to me.gotoAndStop(frame), in the useFrame() function. Seems like even if there was a stop() method on that frame, the playhead went on to the next frame. Again, sorry for this. Go ahead and download the new file.

Go to a different FlashMovie Frame within a Frameset!
Is it possible to change frames on a different movie clip which is in a frame?
So for example i have built a website that is in 3 frames. Top, Left & Right.
The Top frame is a flash movieclip (containing picts)
Left Frame is the Accordian tree menu &
Right Frame is the content.
Currently i have it changing the Right frame with the content but also need to change the Top frame movieclip.
Any help much appreciated!

Unfortunately we didn't understand exactly what you are trying to use. Are you referring to frames from the Flash time line or frames in an HTML document ?
If you are talking about HTML frames, then you could use the ExternalInterface class or the LocalConnection class to communicate between the three Flash clips.
If you are talking about frames in the time line, then simply use the corresponding MovieClip methods (gotoAndPlay / gotoAndStop).
If this still didn't answer your question, then you should address on the support page (http://www.jumpeyecomponents.com/contact.htm).

Does this work in the trial version?
Hi,
When I click any of the menu items, I can't get it to go a play a frame. Is this a restriction of the trial version?

It works in the trial version
The only limitation of our trial versions is that they don't work in the browser based flash player or the stand-alone flash player. So the above example works very well if tested in Flash IDE.

When you click the same menu item twice in the example file, the playhead moves to the next frame with a stop(); in it. Why is this, can it be fixed somehow?
