preview for fiorst game trouble

[Jurgen]

ok im making a game.(called dash, want any info on it go to my userpage) and I just finished a preview. But i wanted to make a replay button. Problem is, i dont know the action script code.

And dont say "on(release){ gotoAndPlay(1)}; " because I want a replay button to replay the whole video! not just that one scene.

Please help(btw the flash doesnt have a preloader, w/e)

and I quote your user page:

if your trolling, you are doing a poor job. The gotoAndPlay code would work, because the nextscenecode would be uneffected, as it is on a different frame.

Replace the "gotoAndPlay(1)" with "gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1)".
Unless you've changed the name of the scene.

to the "09/06/08 Created NG account" its cuz i had an account before, then I created a Grounds Gold Account just now so i could post this thread.

and i dont really get what your saying gotoAndPlay(1) only replays that scene its on so it woudn't work.

How could you have even started the game without knowing how to code a simple button?

Something smells like copypasta....

it still wont work. " on(release) { gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1); } " is the code right? because i didnt change the name of the scene or anything so it should be working but it isn't

ya..I haven't started the game yet. I know how to code a button, just not a replay button
"on(release) { blah blah blah } whatever. i just dont know the code for replaying the whole movie. I'm obviously not starting the game till i like almost mastered actionscripting

I forgot to add _root. for you.

on(release) { _root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1); }

That should work, unless you're working in AS1 or AS3.
If you're using Flash 8, then it will most likely be fine.

If not, tell us what error messages come up.
And make sure it is on the button, not the timeline!

i use flash CS3 and it doesnt work. but there isn't any error code. Weird. how does it look in the actionscript, like this?:

on(release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1);
}

Seeing as you don't know how to code in AS3 it wont affect you if you'd just change it to AS2 via File > Publish Settings.
