Hey I'm trying to make something in flash and I need a certain button to go to slide5 when clicked and the other to go to slide8.

This is code one of the buttons have:

Code: Select all

on (keyPress "<Down>") {

      // Locate the screen that is the target of the behavior
      var screen = null;
      var target = slide5;
      while((screen == null) && (target != undefined) && (target != null))
      {
        if(target instanceof mx.screens.Screen)
        {
          screen = target;
        }
        else
        {
          target = target._slide5;
        }
      }
      
      // If there's a Slide to apply the behavior to, then do so
      if(screen instanceof mx.screens.Slide)
      {
        screen.rootSlide.gotoslide5();
      }

}

I need that to point to slide5

It seems like you are busy learning flash. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Dont use the built in templates that flash gives you. You will be better off learning how to make buttons and how to add actionscript to control the timeline.

Take a look at this

I only wrote the preloader and optimised the site for a friend. The whole site however uses buttons that control the timeline.
