what like play, creds, and scene selection?

[Luther93]

Well, first make your movie!then on this new screen, put up in onna the keyframes, stop();. for the play button put :
on (release)
{
play();
}
for the scene selection, put
on (release)
{gotoAndPlay (Scene"yournumberhere","yourkeyframehere ");
}
then for your credits same thing...

i did that rather messily so here. lets say one of yur scenes started on scene 2 of the flash movie setup, on keyframe 2, so here would be the script for that

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 2);
}

none of that helps... but ive tried makeing my own play button (i even made it a button instead of something like graphic or movie clip) i inserted the commands you have there in action but nothing is working :(

[Kuoke]

Wait, what's the Raw Materials going to help with? All it has is graphics.

Well you should probably take a look at the Newgrounds Tutorial Collection.

(And it should be a button if you're making a button...)

[jinxey]

ok im getting really pissed off here... im useing cs3 if that has anything to do with that...
ive done EVERYTHING everyone has said and every tutorial isnt helping your just going to have to explain step by step..and i bet you have to use cs3 too or it wont work

[Kuoke]

Depending on what AS you're using... (Go to File > Publish Settings > 'Flash' tab) You'll get different answers.
If you want faster and somewhat more reliable answers, you're going to probably want to learn AS2, since it's more commonly known...
I'm sure if you go through the 'Button Tutorials' (With AS2) you'll get the hang of it, but you can't learn this stuff over night... Or just really quickly I should say.

[Lantay77]

Take a look at the flash tutorials on Newgrounds.
But before you do that, click on publish settings and change it to export in Action Script 2. 3 is newer and confusing... the tutorials don't cover AS3 so use AS2 for now.

ok just tell me what this means...
"extra characters found"

Really? You can't figure out what that means on your own? Extra letters that aren't needed were found. Also, when you say "inserted" do you mean inside the button, or on the button?

ive tried both and YES i couldnt figure out what i means because i tried removeing the only god damn not needed characters and then it said ERROR bullshit alert

[jinxey]

i think the problem might be the action scrip...seeing how its 3 and people are saying i need to use 2.1...and people are forgeting that im new to this and dont know HOW to transfer AC3's to AC2's...

[jinxey]

yup it was the action script...finally got it changed and heres what the "menu" looks like so far... the play button should just restart everything and music may be ahead a second due to lag

on(release){
gotoAndPlay ("Scene #" 1)
}

[jinxey]

yeah the loader fucked up so just press play it should stop moving and then do forward...it should go to a black screen and right click play

i know it would confuse the average plunger... but what about those custom "button" MC's?

i'd definitely recommend switching to AS 2.0 if you haven't already.

[jinxey]

im actually a lvl 7 just like you this is my alt...

[jinxey]

here you go...full menu done and everything...

[jinxey]
