Sirkent, This should be easy for you!

Ok, what I am trying to do is to make a navigation menu where it will play a movieclip to get to the page selected. Ok, sounds easy enough, but.. this is where my problem lies...

Ok, the movie clip has several frames. I want it to work, where someone clicks the menu bar that it will make the movieclip play and then stop on the frame that I want.

If that doesn't make since, let me try again.

Think of it as a wheel divided into 6 pieces. If.. your on the 1st piece and you click go to piece 5, I want the wheel to turn and then stop on piece 5. Then say I want to go to piece 2. I want it to play and then stop on frame 2.

If you are busy and could just drop a link that would be nice too. Thanks man.

I'm not sirkent, but maybe this will help?

This could form a template for you. However, I don't get what you really want..

---- START CODE ----

var wheelselected=1

switch (wheelselected) {

case "page1"
trace("this is page 1")
movie_mc.gotoAndStop(1)

case "page2"
trace("this is page 2")
movie_mc.gotoAndStop(2)

//and so on...

---- END OF CODE ----

Hope this helps

Yes, but if I do something like that it will just jump to the frame. I am wanting the animation to play from the current frame it is in and stop on the frame specified. Thanks for the post though.

The easiest way I can see of doing this is something like:

Put this code on each frame you want to stop on...

if (stopFrame==1) {
stop();
}

where 1 is the number of the frame. The on your buttons, put:

on (release) {
stopFrame = "20";
play();
}

Where stopFrame is the number of the frame you want to stop on.

Fairly simple...
