Flash Emergency - Respond ASAP!

[JaCkinbOx]

I've got a Flash movie and I've got MX 2004 and I've put in the stop action but I can't get it to play from a button. I've tried everything that I can think of, and it's due at 1:30 tomorrow.

To clarify, this is for my girlfriend's class, not me. ;p

Help! I've been looking for tutorials and references for hours but nothing's working. The college computers can't play Quicktime movies, and it's illegal to download anything so that rules out lynda.com as a resource. :(

On the button itself:

on(release){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

2 being your frame number or your frame name in quotes.
There's a next frame call but I don't remember 100% right now.

First of all... Try this on the button.:
on(release){
_parent.gotoAndPlay(_parent._currentframe);
}
Use _parent because you actually want to play the timeline that the button is in, not the play the timeline of the button.
_parent._currentframe can be substituted for any number or "name".

There's a next frame call but I don't remember 100% right now
on(release){
_parent.nextFrame();
}
But it will only advance to the next frame and stop, not keep playing.

Hope that clears up the problem and isn't too late.

What fixed it?

[JaCkinbOx]

I'm not sure. I didn't get a good look at it.
