Beginner needs help! - How to play nonlinearli a movie clip?

[lpashov]

Hello, :)
Can anybody tell me how to solve my flash problems?

1) I would like to set such an action to a flash menu, so to play nonlinearly some parts of a movie clip.

For example, if I have a movie clip with 30 frames, to be able when clicking on item1 from the menu, to play movie from 1-st to the 10-th frame (and then to stop), but if I click on item3, to play movie from 20-th to 30-th frame.

2) I would like to start a flash in a HTML frame, and on some events (for example from a flash menu in this frame) to change whole (this) frame (with the flash) with a common HTML page.

Maybe the questions are very simple, but I am new with flash.

Thank you in advance :)
Lyubo.

1) use this code on the button


on(release){

gotoAndPlay("clip1");

}

clip1 should be the name of the frame you want to go to. This can be any name that you chose. You could also put in a number ie 20 and it would go to 20 but its best to use names incase you change the number of frames.

2) use

getURL("/mypage/index.html")

this will go to the url that you indicate and replace the flash with the new html page that you specify
