I'm making a game and seem to be making a simple mistake but can't find the answer so far.

What code do you put on the button of a start menu so that the music on the start menu will stop and go to the next scene, but when it goes to the next scene to music there will start playing. I've managed to make the button go to the next scene and stop the Main menu music, but then the music in the next scene will not play.

Thank you!

Oops! Sorry for the double post.

I mean how can you put a hitTest into the timeline inside the MC, where it doesn't have to be on a Clip Event.

Thanks.
I was thinking that when it actually gets hit by the other MC that is would go to the next frame on the main timeline. Do you know the code for a hitTest that could work on the timeline of a Movie Clip?

Alrighty, so I'm learning the AS to MC controls such as stop, play, etc. And I'm trying to do something but I can't really seem to do it right..

I'm making a game were MC1 has to come into contact with MC2 a certain number of times before moving to the next level. I've been able to code it so that MC2 goes to the next frame in it's own timeline when it hits, but I can't quite figure out how to make it go to the next scene after MC1 hits MC2 while it's on say, frame 5. (Or maybe the next frame on the main timeline)

Also, I'm trying to learn to make a timer for the game.

Can anyone help with this?

I'm sorry for being a hassle, but can somebody maybe walk me through? I've tried at least 3 or 4 tutorials on NG and through a Google search and none of the codes are working, is there maybe something wrong with the program somehow?

The codes aren't working, I also made sure I changed the instance name of the black ball to 'black' for those codes(Before it was 'blah').

I'm going to keep looking for anything I might've done wrong.

It still doesn't work, but thanks for pointing that out.. I forgot about it.

I'm using Flash 8 and it does use Actionscript 2.0.
Thanks for helping, anyways.

I was actually trying to get it to the second frame in the Movie Clip, but I tried that to see if it'd work(I Put something in the second frame of the Timeline) and the black ball still goes through the pink one with nothing happening.

Hello again, I'm making a game, and I was learning hitTests. Before actually putting the game I tried to experiment with the Action Script first, so I made a black ball with the instance name 'blah' and a pink ball with the instance name 'pink'. The black ball can move left and right into the pink one, and the pink one has this Action Script on it:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_this.hitTest(_root.blah))
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

The second Frame is a scribble with a Stop Action, but instead of seeing that, the black ball goes behind the pink one. I've tried using _root.pink. instead of _this.

Help?

I tried what you said and it didn't come up with the error anymore, but it says the class or interface cannot be loaded. I think I might be able to figure it out from there though. Thanks!

I put the code in the Movie Clip(Not on the Main Timeline) and the error still comes up.

Hey, I'm sort of new to Newgrounds and to ActionScript I know how to tween and use the Tools, but the Actionscript has me confused. I've looked up a few Actionscript Tutorials, and noticed a problem every time I try to post this script:

Or any script with a ClipEvent in it.

I've tried adding it to the frame on the main Timeline, or to the Timeline of the Movie Clip I have individually. In the window below I tried putting it in both and got the same Error:

I'm using Flash 8 and I'm trying to make a small, and pretty simple game.
