AS3 gotoframe works fine except when I load into another swf

I built a AS3 file that uses listeners for clicks on object then jumps to a frame label. This method has been working great but when I publish the swf with the jump to frame code and load it as a external swf into another AS3 project the jump to frame code does not work any more. Any suggestions. Thank you so much for anyone who can help.

I will get a file from whoever solves it before me. Thanks yall

here is my go to frame code that works fine except when I publish and load as external swf into another as3 movie

http://pastie.org/433200

nav_ten.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navTenFunction);

function navTenFunction(e:MouseEvent) {
gotoAndStop("bychannel")
}

just thought maybe removing the function from the listener might help?

Thanks J I will give it a shot. if it works then u know what

well it threw no errors but it still did not allow me to navigate. Thanks so much for giving it a shot. It means much. I still look forward to purchasing your new cms file when it comes out

It really is making me upset because I use this same AS3 file/template I built before and use to load AS2 movies with jump to frame code in it and it worked perfect. Know same file and code loading AS3 and a no go. One of the many problems I have with AS3 making flash harder for a none code junky

Maybe I need to lock the root in the swf or something. I guess I could convert it back to as2 but its many many places I would have to do it. ah deadline ahh.

It sounds like it could be a scope issue…

not sure

Have decided to hold back on the CMS until ive released some other files and built a stronger customer base.

But dont worry, the files are gonna be just as good.

Email me if you want to preview my next file

Is the click event firing at all? Try putting a trace inside the gotoFrame function to see if you get something.

good to know FJ I will email you to get a sneak peek. its good to have a gameplan.

lockroot was removed in AS3 as it is supposed to be that way by default. dooh.

Thanks CrackerJack I am going to try that. I will search for some trace code. and report back my results.

Hi Cracker Jack when I replace the go to frame with a Trace(“hello”) nothing showed up in the output panel. But when the external swf with the go to frame code loaded into the main clip it gave me this error

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at directv_interactive_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Well I got the go to frame to work. I deleted the flvPlayback component I had on the first frame of the loaded swf that would not go to a frame on command, and once the flv playback components were gone it would go to a frame correctly as planned. To annoying cause I really need video in that swf file.

As3 is so buggy and such a tight ass for a Designer to use. Its like a clean freak girlfriend that nags about things being out of place all night long allowing nothing to get done ]

I guess i will try another technique to load video.

haha that’s my favorite part of AS3 ! The mystery error! What could it be? Thanks Adobe for being sooooo helpfull!

But seriously,

I assume the loaded swf works when you test it as is. Are you working with classes?
