Hi there.

I got a problem regarding the onLoad command.

first of all: i put the .fla here so you guys can take a look at it first hand http://www.foffer.dk/1001vectorlogo.fla

now, what i want is that the logo_alpha plays when dots_jumping is done playing its timeline. i dont know if its because my path is very long or something, but i tried to give it this command:

Code:

this.logo_alpha.logo_alpha_inside.dots_jumping.onLoad(){
gotoAndPlay("randomframelabel")
}

but it doesnt work.

now, i've tried to put the path in many different ways, but it still doesnt work.

the .fla is changed, so that i made the logo alpha out and in again, by use of the timeline, but that isnt i ideal way i think. please, i would be very glad if you could modify the .fla so i could see how to do it. (i only postet the .fla because i thought it would be easier for you guys to figure out, not because i want you to do my work )

thanks in advance!

edit: actually i dont know if it is a onLoad function i need... please help!

the onLoad function will not do what you want: check the livedocs at:http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash...=00000664.html

as you can read, onLoad requires an event, just as you wanted, and will execute that event when the movieclip appears at the timeline. so what you want is an event to happen when the movieclip disappears from the timeline.
This can be done with the function onUnload(). however i don't know for sure, as i know less of movieclips

note: why do you want this to be coded and not use the timeline as you do this now. if you just want the alpha-logo to play after the dots, and that's the only thing that has to play after the dots, you can just use the timeline. it's ways easier

Greetz, and good luck

ok, thx! ill try to do that then.

the reason i want to do it the other way with the code is because i can time it precisely that way, and i actually thought it was a bit easier... but dunno

thx anyways!
